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…

2010

L'objectiu d'aquest treball és estudiar els efectes de l'entrenament autoguiat en la percepció dels equips del conflicte de tasca, del conflicte de relació i del conflicte de procés, al llarg de tres sessions i en un context virtual. Per això es va fer un estudi de laboratori en el qual cinquanta-dos equips de comunicació sincrònica a través d'ordinador van treballar durant tres sessions: vint-i-set d'ells foren assignats a la condició experimental, en la qual van rebre un entrenament autoguiat, i la resta d'equips van ser assignats a la condició de control. Els resultats d'ANCOVA (anàlisi de covariància) de mesures repetides mostren que l'entrenament, junt amb l'experiència adquirida pels …

Short-term walking physical training and changes in body hydration status, B-type natriuretic peptide and C-reactive protein levels in compensated co…

2008

BACKGROUND: Congestive heart failure (CHF) is associated with decreased exercise tolerance, alterations in body fluid balance and activation of neurohumoral and inflammatory pathways. Physical training, despite the contraindications of the past, is recommended for its beneficial effects on exercise capacity and quality of life. We investigate the effects of a short-term (ten weeks) walking physical training program (PT) on body hydration state (HS), B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels. METHODS AND RESULTS: 22 patients with CHF (mean age 62.7+/-4.8 years, 15 men, mean ejection fraction 38.9+/-3.6%, NYHA class II-III), were enrolled. Eleven patients were rando…

Consideramos de gran interés acercar los actuales dispositivos del arte a las futuras generaciones de maestros y maestras, ya que en el mundo del arte se están tratando temáticas sociales y culturales que van a resultar decisivas en la labor que deberán llevar a cabo quienes eduquen. Desde una perspectiva regeneradora y vitalista, proponemos una posibilidad de estrategias en la formación artística del colectivo docente. Integramos temáticas que habitualmente no se tratan en el ámbito escolar, pero que están vinculadas a las emociones, a las necesidades y a la vida cotidiana del alumnado.

Un sistema formativo ancora da costruire. Riflessioni e proposte per la formazione iniziale degli educatori per la prima infanzia

2022

Mettendo in relazione la formazione iniziale di educatori/educatrici e insegnanti per la prima infanzia con le conoscenze relative allo sviluppo, alle modalità di apprendimento e ai bisogni dei bambini nei primi sei anni di vita, il mio intervento si centra sulla ipotesi di un curriculo formativo unitario. Individua quindi sia le aree disciplinari fondamentali e i possibili contenuti, sia i modelli formativi più efficaci per delineare un profilo professionale specifico, conducendo un approfondimento sull’apprendimento dall’esperienza all’interno dell’Università e sulle modalità di tirocinio maggiormente efficaci. In base alla normativa vigente, delineo poi le criticità del modello formativo…
