Problems with variation: an educational experience of cultural transposition with prospective primary teachers
2022
The paper presents some theoretical reflections and some methodological notes about a Professional Development (PD) path worked out during the last two years by Italian researchers for prospective Primary teachers. The theoretical construct of Cultural Transposition defines the framework of the PD path's activities and the related research. It was used to define an interesting cultural lent to delineate possible new approaches for effective pre-service teacher education programs, in particular for the Primary level. The defined methodology was based on the possibility to reflect about the decentralization of didactic practices based on a specific cultural context through one or more contact…
Teacher Talk Patterns in Science Lessons: Use in Teacher Education
2006
This paper presents an innovative and useful methodology to analyze instructional talk. In teacher education, there is a lack of practical methods that the tutor teacher can use to discuss and reflect on student teachers’ lessons. The student teacher cannot remember what actually happened during the lesson, and the feedback and discussions are based on memory and are, therefore, unstructured. The purpose of this explorative and descriptive case study was to characterize the teacher talk used in the process of a teacher’s guidance of secondary school students’ acquisition of knowledge about physics. First, a classification method for classroom talk was developed. Then, using this method, the…
Quality assurance of decision-making in conversations between professionals and non-professionals: identifying the presence of deliberative principles
2012
The ideal of dialogue is at stake in professional conversations. The aim of this study is to develop an instrument that makes it possible to compare principles of deliberation with what actually takes place in professional conversations. The developed instrument is tested on one patient's conversation with his doctor about lifestyle changes, and meetings where pupils with learning disabilities and their parents discuss further schooling with school representatives. Although in need of refinement, the conclusion is that the instrument provides meaningful insight into how much each participant 'contributes' to the decision-making process and 'behaves' during the conversation.
Eritrean teachers' perceptions of learner-centred interactive pedagogy
2021
In most sub-Saharan African countries, mainstreaming learner-centred interactive pedagogy (LCIP) is defined as a policy priority. Similarly, Eritrea has adopted the same policy to seek a solution to its educational challenges. Rather than rote mastery of course content, the LCIP approach prioritises learners in constructing knowledge through interaction, active participation and controlling the learning process. This paper explores secondary school teachers' perceptions of LCIP and their challenges in implementing this pedagogical approach. Constructivism and sociocultural learning theory are considered conceptual frameworks to highlight LCIP as an approach for teaching and learning. Qualit…
La competencia mediática en el profesorado universitario. Validación de un instrumento de evaluación
2018
RESUMEN: La alfabetización mediática del profesorado universitario es un reto de la sociedad actual, para lograr la formación de ciudadanos críticos. Se presenta el proceso de diseño y validación de un cuestionario para conocer el nivel de competencia mediática del profesorado universitario. El análisis de validez y fiabilidad se realizó en dos fases distintas para garantizar la consistencia del instrumento: validación por método Delphi y análisis psicométrico, en una muestra piloto internacional de 260 docentes. El resultado es un cuestionario con ocho dimensiones, cuyos datos de validación y el análisis por dimensiones muestran un instrumento consistente para la recogida de información en…
Enfoques y concepciones docentes en la universidad
2014
La investigación pretende conocer los enfoques y concepciones sobre docencia del profesorado universitario a lo largo de su trayectoria profesional. Desde la fenomenografía pero con enfoque metodológico mixto, nuestro análisis muestra gran variabilidad respecto cómo los docentes comprenden y expresan sus experiencias y concepciones sobre docencia. Éstas se pueden clasificar en: impartir conocimiento, entusiasmar y motivar, desarrollar habilidades y cambiar concepciones en los estudiantes; con combinaciones entre ellas. Las categorías se ordenan de mayor a menor comprensión de la docencia, son progresivas e inclusivas. Los enfoques docentes no tienen relación con la edad, experiencia, discip…

Methodological Guide for the Analysis of Teacher Issues : : Teacher Training Initiative for Sub-Saharan Africa (TTISSA) : Teacher Policy Development …
2011
This guide aims to permit an analysis of the different dimensions of the teacher issue in various countries, with the objective of building a global vision of this issue. The work that it aims to support is thus not descriptive but rather analytical. In essence, the goal is not to describe how this or that aspect of the system, such as teacher deployment or training, functions, but rather to analyze existing situations and the results obtained and to attempt to identify the range of options possible in the country. The analysis allows the identification of spaces for dialogue to define teacher policy

<p><em>The necessity of promoting reading interests in connection with the problems that have to be solved today and in near future in school, university and the society on the whole puts forward the task for the prospective teachers of literature to master not only theoretical knowledge in their study process but also to acquire skills necessary for their future pedagogical work so that they are able to choose the most suitable methodological approach for the interpretation of a literary work in each teaching/learning situation.</em></p>
Backing up the development of teaching skills of college teachers with an original conceptual frame
2010
National audience; L'objectif de cet article est de présenter un cadre conceptuel issu d'une expertise collective, développée pendant trois années au sein d'un projet international. Ce cadre permet de formaliser le conseil et l'accompagnement pédagogique au niveau universitaire, en questionnant les défis et enjeux de la pratique du développement pédagogique vis-à-vis des enseignants, des équipes d'enseignants et des responsables des institutions universitaires. Il permet également de soulever un ensemble de pistes de recherches qui restent à développer autour de la thématique du soutien à l'enseignement universitaire.
