The Role of Gender in Teachers’ Perceived Stress and Heart Rate
2008
Gender differences in cardiovascular variables in response to laboratory stressors have been described. In real situations, although occupational stress is considered one of the major causes of cardiovascular diseases, there are few studies that follow a psychophysiological approach, such as in a work context. In these settings, excessive environmental demands might produce nonadaptive emotional responses, depending on the way people perceive their work settings. Concretely, there are few published studies that take into account the changes of perceived stress (PS) and/or heart rate (HR) considering the ecological moment. Thus, our interest was to study the changes of both variables during…
Preparing Teachers for Teaching Probability Through Problem Solving
2018
In this paper we introduce the idea of solving problems by simulation with didactical intention. Based on this idea, we analyse the way we prepare the teachers to teach solving probability problems by simulation, in distinguishing whether the teaching is offered to prospective elementary teachers or secondary school teachers. The process of solving probability problems is seen as an inquiry process, which uses simulation as a resolution method with heuristic content, so that the preparation of teacher is then based on this approach. Therefore, prospective teachers should have the opportunities to learn about probability problems, about the process of solving probability problems, and about …
School teachers bullied by their students: Teachers´ attributions and how they share their experiences
2012
Abstract Previous studies suggest that many teachers worldwide are bullied by students. However, deeper understanding of teachers' bullying experiences; of their interpretations of the causes of bullying; and of how they cope with these experiences, is lacking. Using an Internet survey we examined the attributions made by Finnish elementary and lower secondary school teachers for their victimisation; the people with whom they share their experiences; and the links between these. Three kinds of attribution were identified: student-related, institution-related, and teacher-related. Selection of the persons with whom teachers shared their experiences was determined by the nature of the attribu…
TEACHERS’ READINESS TO IMPLEMENT THE ACQUISITION OF TRANSVERSAL SKILLS IN THE CONTEXT OF THE NEW STANDARD
2019
In today’s rapidly changing world, when information technologies are developing very fast, a new change of the paradigm of the educational system is needed. It means that a teacher’s pedagogical activities also have to change – from an educator to a cooperation partner in the teaching/learning process. National Centre for Education (NCE) has worked out a new ”Competence approach to teaching/learning content”, the aim of which is to ensure the acquisition of the content of general education based on competence approach, and which embraces all stages in education.The objective of the article is to reveal the essence of competence approach and the readiness of primary school teachers to imple…
ETHNOLOGICAL RESEARCH AND TEACHING AT THE UNIVERSITY OF JYVÄSKYLÄ
1970
Publisher Summary This chapter presents ethnological research and teaching at the University of Jyvaskyla. The center of the administrative district of Central Finland, Jyvaskyla, is located in the center of the population of Finland, somewhat north of the place where three large water routes empty into the northern end of Finland's longest lake, Paijanne. Higher Finnish-speaking culture was now even officially acknowledged, which, among other things, led to the situation in which one of the main strongholds of the new culture received its location in Jyvaskyla, which from time to time competed successfully with the capital city for the position of the Finnish-speaking cultural center. In 1…

El boletín Faraday (1928-29) y las relaciones entre historia y didáctica de las ciencias
2021
Faraday ha sido considerada una de las primeras publicaciones especializadas en didáctica e historia de la ciencia en España. Sin embargo, hasta la fecha su recuperación y estudio se revelaba pendiente. A través del análisis inédito de esta publicación de principios del siglo xx, se abordan las relaciones entre historia y didáctica de las ciencias desde una mirada diacrónica. Dicho análisis ha puesto de manifiesto cómo la didáctica de las ciencias contribuyó a impulsar la forja disciplinar de la historia de la ciencia y cómo esta última nutrió a la didáctica de las ciencias de un amplio sustrato metodológico y epistemológico. Este análisis también ha ofrecido varios elementos de reflexión p…
Enseñanza de las ciencias : revista de investigación y experiencias didácticas
2021
Se expone el proceso seguido por un equipo de docentes de secundaria con el objetivo de cambiar la metodología de trabajo en el aula mediante el diseño y aplicación de una secuencia de aprendizaje definida a partir del aprendizaje basado en retos que integre de manera interdisciplinar los contenidos de Biología y Geografía en segundo de la ESO. Mediante la reflexión didáctica compartida, organizada y continuada se transforma una salida de campo tradicional en un nuevo proyecto de trabajo que se desarrolla a lo largo de un trimestre completo. Los resultados muestran la nueva secuencia de actividades creada, la percepción de los estudiantes y familias y los beneficios en la implicación del al…
La construcción de subjetividades en itinerarios de fracaso escolar. Itinerarios de inserción sociolaboral para adolescentes en riesgo
2016
RESUMEN La modernización del sistema de Formación Profesional del Estado español se remonta a los años 90. Desde entonces, ha evolucionado significativamente, teniendo los desarrollos europeos como marco de referencia. Con la extensión de la escolarización hasta los 16 años, se introdujo en el año 1994 un tipo de formación profesionalizadora de muy bajo nivel de cualificación, especialmente diseñada para los adolescentes clasificados como de bajo rendimiento académico en Educación Secundaria y para aquellos en situación de vulnerabilidad social. Esta formación fue rediseñada en 2006 y en 2013. Nuestra contribución, enmarcada en una investigación más amplia desarrollada en el seno de un proy…
Evaluation of the behavioral and affective outcomes of novice teachers working in professional development schools versus non-professional developmen…
2018
Abstract The purpose of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of teacher preparation based in Professional Development Schools (PDSs) in secondary education in The Netherlands over a period of three years. Approximately 150 teachers in non-PDSs were compared with 50 teachers in PDSs with declining response rates. Classroom observation ratings and student perceptions of PDS teachers in the second year were higher compared to non-PDS teachers. PDS teachers reported higher levels of teacher efficacy in each year. PDS-based teachers evaluated their teacher preparation and their learning opportunities significantly more positively compared to non-PDS-based teachers. Even though the sample size…
