Teacher orchestration of classroom interaction in science: exploring dialogic and authoritative passages in whole-class discussions
2019
Whereas science is fundamentally a result of a dialogic debate, the authoritative approach has been conceived of as a fundamental part of school science. Dialogic interactions encompass the mutual appreciation of different ideas manifested in teacher supportiveness toward students and, in authoritative interactions, the focus is more on the science’s or teacher’s point of view. Whereas dialogic and authoritative interactions have been viewed as oppositional in recent educational research, authoritative interactions could well be the seed for and give strength and meaning to dialogic interactions, and thus, to the overall dialogue. The focus in this study is on the interplay between authorit…
Las representaciones del saber académico: Aportaciones desde la Geografía Escolar
2019
When we talk with basic education´s teachers there is an impression in the case of learning Social Sciences, and Geography in particular that these sciences are not useful for the explanation of socio-environmental and daily problems. In this research, improvement proposals are sought so that students are motivated to learn about these problems. Based on two case studies such as flood risks (and their relationship with climate change) and the problems of the rural areas, the possibilities of combining motivation for learning close to personal emotions and with their own rigor have been explored of the conceptual explanation. To validate these results, quantitative and qualitative research t…

2021
Nowadays citizens live in communities made up of complex interweaving of physical reality, technologies, digital media and social networks and are faced with a completely new set of challenges and opportunities that require a critical and cultured citizenship, capable of dealing with differences in a way responsible and humane. Digital citizenship is defined as the acceptable, ethical, and responsible use of technology that emphasizes a more collaborative, creative, and self-empowering use of technology in education as well as in personal use.

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…
Digital Wisdom Development and Self-reflection of Teacher Candidates
2023
Being digitally wise allows today’s students not only to strengthen their natural abilities through existing technologies, but also to respond appropriately to learning networks that are increasingly complex. As a result, it is crucial that teachers and educators continually update and expand their professional knowledge base and improve their practices in order to meet the learning needs of their increasingly diverse students. The research has been conducted during the academic year 2021–2022 with the participation of 1173 teacher trainees enrolled in the Primary Education Degree Program at the University of Palermo. The trainees carried out their activities through digital tools. Brown an…

Am I Irrelevant? Does the Finnish business community prefer native or non-native speaking English teachers?
2009
Tämä laadullinen tutkimus tuo yhden näkökulman globaaliin keskusteluun siitä ovatko englantia äidinkielenään puhuvat opettajat, omilla ääntämis- ja kielenkäyttötavoillaan, tarpeellisia opiskeltaessa englantia vieraana kielenä (EFL). Tutkimus keskittyi suomalaisten yritysmaailmassa olevien aikuisten mielipiteisiin, käsityksiin ja kokemuksiin englanninkielen opiskelusta sekä suomalaisten (ei-natiiven) että englantia äidinkielenään puhuvien opettajien (natiivien) johdolla. Tutkimukseen osallistujat edustivat sekä eri ammattikuntia että eri maantieteellisiä alueita ympäri Suomea. Tutkimuksella oli kolme selkeää tavoitetta. Ensiksi tavoitteena oli tutkia, kokivatko osallistujat saavansa enemmän…
¿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…
