School climate as predictor of teachers’ competences to recognize the educational needs of adopted children in Italy
2019
The current study examines the association between different components of school climate (teacher-principal and teacher-parent relationships, parents’ involvement in school activities, connection between school and the local services) and teachers’ competences and knowledge regarding the adoption experience. Participants were 573 teachers (95.7% women; mean age= 47.06, SD= 8.66, ranging between 25 and 65) residing in three Italian regions characterized by rates of international adoptions that are higher than the national average. The association between school climate and teachers’ knowledge and competences on adoption was evaluated via independent multiple logistic regression analyses. Fi…
It’s Not Only What You Say, But How You Say It : Investigating the Potential of Prosodic Analysis as a Method to Study Teacher’s Talk
2018
In this study, we introduce new insights into prosodic analyses as an emerging method to study what happens in classrooms interactions. We claim that the prosodic aspects (features of speech such as intonation, volume and pace) of talk are important, but under-represented in the learning sciences. These prosodic aspects may be used to complement, intensify or even reverse the linguistic content of speech. Thus far, most research on classrooms has focused on the content (what is said) rather than on understanding the meaning of the prosodic features (how it is said) of talk. In this study, we introduce prosodic analyses as a method to study classroom discussions. Our exploratory experiment f…
Fostering Heuristic Strategies in Mathematics Teacher Education
2018
International audience; The “double discontinuity” stated by Felix Klein 1908 is still relevant in the mathematics teacher education at German universities. We are developing a course approach, which is intended to bridge the double discontinuity in a didactic dimension. We offer additional learning opportunities for teacher students, which are characterized by clarifications of mathematical methods that are fundamental to the regular lecture contents. We focus especially on reflections on heuristic strategies, which are the core part of mathematical methods according to George Pólya. Feedback shows that students consider our approach as helpful in the transition from school to university.
Promoting Social Entrepreneurship and Teaching Competence in the Application of Motrices and Expressive Games Using Service-Learning in Physical Educ…
2015
Este documento presenta la experiencia de aprendizaje servicio (ApS) realizada durante el curso 2013-14 en el Grado de Maestro/a de Educación Infantil en la Universitat Jaume I (Castellón, España). En ella el alumnado universitario debía planificar y realizar sesiones de juegos motrices y de expresión corporal para niños y niñas con diversidad funcional. Nuestro objetivo se centró en comprobar el impacto de la aplicación del programa de ApS sobre el alumnado universitario, tanto a nivel académico como personal. Para ello se elaboraron y validaron dos instrumentos de medición cuantitativa, una rúbrica y un cuestionario. Al mismo tiempo, el trabajo se complementó con una investigación cualita…
THE CHALLENGES, RISKS AND PROSPECTS OF THE REALISATION OF THE MUSIC METHODOLOGY MODULE OF ONE – YEAR EDUCATION PROGRAMME
2021
The reform of teachers’ education commenced by the Ministry of Education and Science provides an opportunity to obtain a qualification as a teacher within one year, encompassing studies based in a working environment for those who already have higher education. The goal of the research is to identify the challenges, risks and perspectives of the realization of the module “Music methodology” of the study course “Integrated methods in Teaching Culture Understanding and Self-expression in Art” within the one-year study programme “Skolotājs”. The research compared study course plans in music teaching and choir work methodology at two Latvian higher education institutions, as well as at two fore…
Competencias para la traducción jurídica: modelos, enfoques y percepción del profesorado
2019
El artículo que presentamos analiza los elementos diferenciadores de la educación por competencias en traducción jurídica y las exigencias metodológicas en el aula. Mediante una metodología de obtención de datos de carácter cualitativo y cuantitativo, el artículo pretende sondear la realidad en el aula de traducción jurídica en España a través del análisis exhaustivo de las guías docentes del conjunto de módulos ofertados en traducción jurídica. Los resultados, contrastados con una serie de entrevistas semiestructuradas a docentes de traducción jurídica en activo, contextualizan la práctica docente y dan voz al profesorado universitario, permitiéndole compartir sus percepciones, puntos de v…
Teaching speaking
2019
To be able to communicate fluently in a foreign language is the number one goal for many language learners. However, it seems that the teaching of oral skills in language classrooms does not have an important role. There are many reasons: the higher status of written language, teaching to the tests (of written language), teaching the textbook (with emphasis on written language), and lack of knowledge of how to teach speaking. The purpose of the article is to discuss the issue of how foreign language (FL) speaking can be taught based on 1) how speaking is learned and 2) how speaking proficiency is defined. More specifically, 1) How do learning theories translate into teaching speaking at cla…
Exploring responsive mathematics teaching
2018
Responsive mathematics teaching places students’ ideas and scientific thinking in a central position. It is based upon the expectation that students have resourceful scientific thinking. The responsive teacher advances the acquisition of mathematical knowledge by pursuing the substance of students’ ideas and fostering the practices of the mathematical community. This study focuses on illustrating the responsive mathematics teaching accounts of a second graders teacher. To fulfil this aim, the teaching structure of one teacher has been thoroughly scrutinized and presented in detail. The data, collected through a semi structured interview, classroom observation and field notes, has been analy…
Tipologie di ricerca didattica in Italia (2016-2018)
2020
In Italia, nel triennio 2016-2018, si è fatta ricerca didattica sul processo di insegnamento- apprendimento in tre modi: l’analisi fenomenologica e l’osservazione della dimensione quantitativa della realtà educativa; la costruzione di categorie interpretative del collegamento delle azioni dei docenti con i cambiamenti osservati nei discenti; la formulazione di principi e orientamenti per la pratica didattica. I temi delle ricerche didattiche svolte nel periodo sono raggruppabili in quattordici aree: la didattica universitaria, la didattica inclusiva, la didattica interculturale, la didattica orientativa, la didattica metacognitiva, la raccolta e l’analisi di pratiche didattiche, le nuove te…
Mācīšana komandā skolotāja profesionālās attīstības veicināšanai
2019
Ar skolotāja profesionālo pilnveidi bieži saprot tālākizglītības kursu un semināru apmeklēšanu, taču viena no 21. gadsimta izglītības sistēmas inovācijām ir mācīšanās mijiedarbībā un sadarbībā, ko sauc par “mācīšanu komandā”. Skolotāja maģistra pieredzes darbā ir pētīts mācīšanas komandā potenciāls veicināt skolotāja profesionālo pilnveidi. Tā kā mācīšana komandā ir saistīta ar vismaz diviem cilvēkiem un to vislabāk var saprast no personīgās pieredzes perspektīvas, maģistra darba autores ir divas angļu valodas kā svešvalodas skolotājas, kas ir veikušas sešu ciklu darbības pētījumu, kas kā datu vākšanas metodes ietver grupas diskusiju, skolotāju dienasgrāmatas, anketu skolēniem un refleksija…
