Understanding the Context of Teacher Professionalism in Education Systems Undergoing Transition – Kosovo Case

2014

Abstract This qualitative case study examines teacher professionalism in Kosovo in light of its rapidly developing education system.

Ausencias relevantes en la teoria del curriculum.

2020

Se señalan en el artículo algunas ausencias significativas sobre el modo en que la teoría se ha venido enfrentando al currículum, con especial énfasis sobre lo ocurrido en el contexto español. La historia política del currículum, la mirada desde estudios culturales, la producción de los regímenes de verdad en el currículum, la falta de problematización de las narrativas modernas que inspiran e impregnan la producción curricular o la oportunidad de considerar la ciudad como currículum son algunos de los aspectos que se comentan. Some significant absences are pointed out in the article about the way in which the theory has been confronting the curriculum, with special emphasis on what happene…

«Formalistic obscurantism»? An attempt to decipher the curriculum in social studies

2021

I 2020 trådte det nye læreplanverket, Kunnskapsløftet 2020, i kraft i norsk skole. I artikkelen har vi valgt samfunnsfaget i ungdomsskolen som eksempelstudium. Vi presenterer en detaljert, empirinær analyse av forholdet mellom kompetansemål, kjerneelementer og tverrfaglige tema i læreplanstrukturen for skolefag, samt forholdet mellom disse og overordnet del. Eksempelet er avgrenset til samfunnsfaget på ungdomsskolen, og basert på det forskriftsfestede planverket og den digitale støttemodulen. Funnene i denne delen av analysen gir praktisk kunnskap om læreplanene som er helt sentral for lærerutdannere og lærere, og som har overføringsverdi (og relevans) for fagdidaktikk for andre skolefag. I…

Moving Away from Patronage: A Feedback Approach

2022

Patronage appointments in government are a continuing issue in many administrative systems. Especially for countries in Latin America and Africa patronage is considered a major impediment to developing more effective administrative systems. A great deal has been written describing patronage and discussing the causes for patronage, but much less research has addressed the dynamics of moving away from patronage to more merit-based systems. This paper reviews the patronage literature and then develops a dynamic feedback model for movement away from patronage. The model links the quality of the services provided by the government, the nature of the political party system, and levels of trust t…

Las soft skills del docente

2021

L’esercizio di una adeguata professionalità docente coinvolge dimensioni motivazionali, comunicative, pratiche e vocazionali che vanno ben oltre le specificità dei contesti d’aula, partecipando allo sviluppo complessivo dell’organizzazione scolastica e ad iniziative e progetti condotti dalla scuola nel rapporto con la più ampia realtà di ordine familiare, comunitario e sociale in cui è immersa. Quali competenze connotano il docente professionista oggi? Quali azioni e dispositivi di autovalutazione possono supportarne lo sviluppo professionale? Il concetto di competenza rimanda ad una serie di conoscenze specialistiche necessarie, ma non più sufficienti per la formazione degli insegnanti: le…

2020

In the second half of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century, the scientific research in Europe started focusing more on the problems of upbringing.

The study reveals the necessity and importance of upbringing and unity in teaching work for the pedagogical processes of the 21st…

La consapevolezza professionale del docente

2017

Sono evidenziati alcuni caratteri specifici della consapevolezza professionale del docente come forma di meta-competenza di natura sia strategica sia tattica, riferibile al saper gestire se stessi nel contesto dei processi formativi e auto-formativi connessi con l’acquisizione di nuove competenze e/o con lo sviluppo ulteriore di competenze già presenti, in vista del loro trasferimento a nuovi contesti. E’ s analizzata e misurata la consapevolezza professionale di un gruppo di 744 docenti siciliani di scuole secondarie di primo e secondo grado, a partire dall’utilizzo di due strumenti di autovalutazione metacognitiva (il Questionario ALM e il Questionario MAI) e di uno strumento di autovalut…
