Digital Competence for the improvement of Special Education Teaching
2016
The increasing digitization and globalization of the media, the broad diversification of media products, with the value-and ethical issues that it raises, proposes and confirms the reasons why media education is to be considered as an indispensable task for anyone involved in education. Thanks to specific educational interventions and appropriate evaluation tools for self-assessment, future educators should be helped to acquire the appropriate media skills necessary to develop the capacity to responsibly and autonomously choose proper media to design their media education courses. The media competence enhances teachers’ ability to creatively modify learning spaces and to design a variety of…

Proyectos educativos multidisciplinares y ayuda a la comunidad
2019
This paper relates an experience carried out at a higher education setting, specifically involving 3rd-year students in the Early Childhood Education degree programme. In relation to this, the paper presents an educational model that takes into account the need to develop ethical and social competences and gives importance to interdisciplinary education in real contexts. To this aim, all the academic modules that form part of this degree programme devote 25% of their teaching time and evaluation to the development of an interdisciplinary project. This paper will describe one of these projects, entitled "Solve a real problem", the design of which is informed by service-learning and problem-b…
Innovacions amb blogs: desenvolupament de competències del futur mestre i benestar subjectiu docent
2012
Es descriuen tres experiències innovadores del Grau de Maestro amb blogs, orientades al desenvolupament de competències específiques i transversals: un blog de ressenyes literàries infantils; una revista digital com a espai per a la investigació i el treball col·laboratiu; i un i-portafolio per visibilizar pràctiques, avaluar progressos en l'aprenentatge i desenvolupar tutories. Es va constatar en totes elles una alta participació, motivació i implicació, i el desenvolupament de competències d'ordre superior, com les habilitats comunicatives, digitals, d'anàlisis i síntesis…. Amb això, el professorat va experimentar un alt grau de benestar subjectiu, vinculat amb la seva satisfacció en rela…
DESIGNING A TEACHER TRAINING PROGRAMME FOR CHARACTER EDUCATION: AN INTERNATIONAL PARTNERSHIP
2020
There is a need of innovative teacher training programmes for character education. This paper addresses three research questions: What are the challenges that a teacher training programme for character education should address? What are the learning outcomes that the programme should achieve? How should the programme be structured for supporting the achievement of those learning outcomes? Two regional authorities, three schools, three universities and a centre of teacher training from Latvia, Estonia and Spain created a strategic partnership for answering these research questions, using design-based implementation research. The results include six domains of learning outcomes and a programm…
Challenges in developing in-service teacher training: Lessons learnt from two projects for teachers of Swedish in Finland
2017
Teacher education in Finland is widely respected and of high quality. However, there is a recognised need to develop the educational continuum from pre-service education to in-service training. This article deals with challenges connected to in-service teacher training. Based on two projects, consisting of seven one-month courses for teachers of Swedish in Finland, we reflect on the challenges we encountered during the three-year process. In our research, theory and practice, but also data and methods, have been intertwined, as we have studied the phenomenon by using exploratory practice (Allwright, 2003). The projects and the study were based on a thorough literature review. During the pla…
This can be made more student-centred : Asynchronous mediation in in-service teacher professional development
2022
Vygotskian Sociocultural Theory is a powerful foundation for research into teacher professional development. However, while this research has been growing, it has largely been focused on pre-service second/foreign language. Furthermore, there is a lack of research on how the instructional process informed by the principles of Sociocultural Theory, including assessment of candidates’ mediated performance, can be orchestrated to promote teachers’ conceptual development and induce changes in their classroom practices. The present study explores how asynchronous assessment of in-service teachers’ portfolios (with the focus on lesson planning) informed by dynamic assessment framework shaped the …
The master’s dissertation viva by video conference: strategies and best practices
2019
Durante la última década, se han publicado numerosos estudios sobre el proceso de elaboración y evaluación de los trabajos de fin de máster (TFM) (Da Cunha, 2016; García & Martínez-Clares, 2012; González-Calero & Turégano, 2011), sobre las fases de tutorización y acompañamiento al estudiante (Flores, Martínez, Martínez López, Pascual, & Sanz, 2013) y sobre las competencias a adquirir tras su finalización (Cabrera, Sangrà & Rodera, 2012; Serrano & Pontes, 2015; Viejo & Ortega Ruiz, 2018). Sin embargo, no resultan tan evidentes las investigaciones que analizan la fase de preparación y defensa pública de estos trabajos, siendo, sin embargo, la que genera más incomodidad entre el estudiantado. …
Educazione del carattere, letteratura per l’infanzia e stile di vita digitale. Un percorso di formazione iniziale degli insegnanti
2017
L’assunto teorico di partenza è stata l’importanza che i futuri insegnanti di scuola primaria siano in grado di sapersi orientare nel panorama contemporaneo della Letteratura per l’infanzia e acquisiscano le competenze metodologiche per progettare percorsi educativi per la formazione del carattere, centrati sulla lettura. Con la progettazione di pratiche innovative, attraverso l’uso delle tecnologie, ci siamo proposti di far individuare agli studenti i principi e le strategie per lo sviluppo del carattere negli alunni di scuola primaria attraverso la letteratura per l’infanzia, facendo riferimento in particolare al “Character Education Movement”. Il campione è composto da 170 studenti del I…
¿Qué ciencias se enseñan y cómo se hace en las aulas de educación infantil? : La visión de los maestros en formación inicial
2016
Los conocimientos científicos están presentes en los currículos de todos los niveles educativos. Sin embargo, son pocas las investigaciones orientadas a saber qué contenidos se enseñan, cómo lo hacen, qué aprende el alumnado… en la etapa de educación infantil. En este trabajo estudiamos la percepción que tienen los futuros maestros sobre la enseñanza de las ciencias que se realiza en las aulas de segundo ciclo de esta etapa. A partir de sus vivencias en las prácticas de enseñanza, unos estudiantes del Grado de Educación Infantil han respondido a un cuestionario elaborado para conocer mejor la realidad educativa que estamos estudiando. Los resultados ponen de manifiesto el escaso tratamiento…
