Managing Teachers' Job Attitudes: The Potential Benefits of Being a Happy and Emotional Intelligent Teacher
2021
According to the broaden-and-build theory of positive emotions, the frequency of positive emotions is associated with the development of positive attitudes, cognitions, and behaviors in organizational contexts. However, positive and negative attitudes at work might also be influenced by different personal and job resources. While emotional intelligence has been significantly associated with positive job attitudes and personal well-being, no studies have yet examined the joint role of teacher happiness and emotional intelligence in key teacher job attitudes. The present study assesses whether emotional intelligence interacts with levels of teacher happiness to jointly explain important teach…

Tutkimme tässä artikkelissa liikunnanopettajien puhetapoja seksuaali- ja sukupuolivähemmistöihin kuuluvista oppilaista koululiikunnassa. Aineisto koostuu kymmenen opettajan haastatteluaineistosta sekä 105 opettajan verkkokyselyaineistosta.

Hallitsevan puhetavan seksuaali- ja sukupuolivähemmistöihin kuuluvien oppilaiden ja opetuskäytäntöjen näkökulmasta muodostavat sukupuolitetut käytännöt, joita liikunnanopettajat haastavat pyrkimällä ei-sukupuolittavaan kielenkäyttöön ja ryhmäjakojen ylityksiin. Parhaiksi tavoiksi edistää seksuaali- ja sukupuolivähemmistöjen yhdenvertaisuutta ja…
Orientamenti nella formazione docente per l’inclusione
2020
Dinanzi alle sfide inclusive che la scuola oggi pone, legate al bisogno di comunità, inclusione, rispetto della diversità, si registra la necessità di accrescere una cultura dell’autovalutazione negli insegnanti, onde generare consapevolezza e programmare piani di miglioramento della didattica. Sin dalla formazione iniziale, è opportuno misurare e monitorare un costrutto complesso come quello dell’inclusione, affinché gli insegnanti sviluppino riflessività e consapevolezza e comprendano meglio il contesto socio-culturale in cui agiscono, nonché gli effetti della loro azione sugli alunni. In tale prospettiva, è stata condotta una rilevazione delle percezioni sull’agire inclusivo su un campio…
La Self-Efficacy degli insegnanti di sostegno in formazione iniziale
2021
Nell’ultimo ventennio gli studi sulla Self-Efficacy hanno sempre più indagato le percezioni degli insegnanti e come queste influenzano, non solo il loro modo di lavorare, ma soprattutto gli esiti di apprendimento e il senso di autoefficacia degli allievi. La percezione di autoefficacia degli insegnanti nel costruire ambienti di apprendimento inclusivi assume un ruolo ancora più importante. Il presente contributo indaga tale costrutto in un campione di 1591 studenti iscritti al V ciclo del corso per il conseguimento della specializzazione per le attività di sostegno didattico per gli alunni con disabilità dell’Università degli Studi di Palermo. In the last twenty years, studies on Self-Effic…

Towards a scenario of virtual mental health environments for school-aged children
2017
This study explores student teachers’ future design scenarios focusing on promoting children’s mental health literacy through virtual reality (VR) environments. VR use is on the verge of many breakthroughs in several areas of lived experience. One such area pertains to educational contexts. Student teachers were chosen as the subjects of this study due to the likelihood that they will be the primary users and disseminators of these emerging technologies in educational contexts. The students created five types of future scenarios that contained different environments and activity modes, including those that are still not yet feasible to realize with current technological capabilities. The ai…
Co-evolution between Trust in Teachers and Higher Education Enabled by ICT Advancement – A Suggestion to ICT Growing Economies
2016
In light of the increasing significance of trust-based higher education towards digitally-rich learning environments, co-evolution dynamism between trust in teachers and higher education enabled by ICT advancement was analyzed. Using the rate of trust in teachers for good education in the Global Teacher Status Index, together with statistics on higher education level and ICT advancement, an empirical numerical analysis of 20 countries was attempted. It was identified that while ICT advanced countries have constructed a co-evolution between ICT, higher education and trust, ICT growing countries have not succeeded due to a vicious cycle between ICT and trust. Finland’s educational success can…

2011
Durant les últimes dècades els sistemes educatius europeus estan fent front a nombrosos reptes relacionats amb el tractament de la diversitat cultural i lingüística de l’alumnat.
