Desarrollo de habilidades de modelación desde las ecuaciones más simples de la Hidrodinámica
2017
[EN] The development of modeling skills is a very important issue in Science teaching nowadays. The present workillustrates how, from the simplest equations of hydrodynamics, it is possible to contribute to this end. Bernoulliand continuity equations are included in Physics syllabi of secondary and university levels, and can be seen as alinking between general and professional education. By means of the proposed project, students are taken throughgeneral stages which are usually present in any engineering project or research work based on modeling and simu-lation. such as the formulation of the problem, the statement of the Physics model, a computational simulationand the comparison between…
Classification trees for multivariate ordinal response: an application to Student Evaluation Teaching
2016
Data from multiple items on an ordinal scale are commonly collected when qualitative variables, such as feelings, attitudes and many other behavioral and health-related variables are observed. In this paper we introduce a method to derive a distance-based tree for multivariate ordinal response that allows, when subject-specific characteristics are available, to derive common profiles for respondents giving the same/similar multivariate ratings. Special attention will be paid to the performance comparison in terms of AUC, for three different distances used as splitting criteria. Simulated data an a dataset from a Student Evaluation of Teaching survey will be used as illustrative examples. Th…
Teachers training in a realistic context
2008
There is an important need to prepare preservice teachers for the teaching of statistics. We will describe an experiment set up to achieve effective teacher training in statistics in the setting of an Italian university. Student–teachers had to prepare lessons using a real dataset collected on the Italian mail services. Not only did they look into all the usual basic concepts of statistics, but they also questioned and dealt with doubts and errors their pupils put forth. They discovered the richness of the concepts, the content of descriptive statistics and the basic analyses of observed data. This experiment showed that the data, although very simple, is rich and productive, and that effec…
L’evoluzione della didattica generale dalla storia all’attualità
2015
La costruzione sistematica del sapere didattico è stata possibile quando i risultati delle scienze-fonti della didattica sono stati rielaborati dal punto di vista di chi studia il processo di insegnamento-apprendimento, per la formulazione di ipotesi articolate che sono state sottoposte a verifica mediante l’esperimento oppure con l’osservazione sistematica, secondo le due grandi tradizioni della ricerca quantitativa e qualitativa. Tre sono i periodi essenziali in cui si può suddividere la recente storia della ricerca didattica in Italia: il periodo pioneristico (1954-1974), quello del pieno riconoscimento accademico (1974-1994) e quello della maturità scientifica (1994-2014). The systemati…
Pratiche di Didattica della Lingua latina e DAD nel periodo di emergenza Covid-19
2021
La didattica a distanza nel periodo di emergenza COVID-19 ha rappresentato una novità senza precedenti cui docenti e studenti non erano certamente preparati. La ricerca presentata ha consentito di raccogliere informazioni sulle strategie organizzative e didattiche attivate, sulle criticità e sulla valutazione dell'efficacia didattica degli interventi effettuati nell’ambito dell’insegnamento del latino. La scommessa della ricerca è trarre da un’esperienza difficile come quella che stiamo vivendo elementi che ci aiutino a ripensare la didattica ed in particolar modo l’insegnamento del latino anche nella fase post emergenziale. I dieci docenti siciliani e piemontesi coinvolti nel progetto di r…
Inquiry-Based Approaches in Primary Science Teacher Education
2018
This chapter introduces an interactional graphic tool together with a model for inquiry-based science teaching (abbreviated as IBST). The combination of the graphic tool and model offers an approach to support the planning, implementation, reflection and analysis of dialogic IBST. The potential use is illustrated here using a case study in which student teachers used IBST to develop their teaching. The interactional graphic and the model are fundamentally related to three established approaches to science teaching: inquiry-based science teaching, dialogic teaching and the communicative approach. Together, these approaches draw attention to learner participation in inquiry-based science teac…
Teaching particle physics to high school teachers
2017
In Norway, particle physics is part of the high school curriculum in physics which introduces the need for good university teaching in particle physics without the usual technical approach. Given how much conflicting information and inaccurate explanations there are on the subject; how should we teach this to people without much knowledge in mathematics? By carefully explaining the fundamental consepts of the theory it is fully possible to achieve an appreciation of particle physics without much mathematics. Through the use of analogies, such as an analogy between the freedom in choosing timezone and the freedom in choosing phase angle, one can introduce gauge theory and hence show the unde…
L'aprenentatge de la traducció a través de l'ús del port-folio: descripció de una experiència
2011
En aquest treball es descriu una experiència pedagògica consistent en la introducció del *portafolio com a eina d'aprenentatge i avaluació en un curs universitari de traducció. La descripció es basa en dades arreplegades durant dos anys i en els resultats d'un qüestionari administrat als participants. Després d'una breu contextualització de l'experiència i la reflexió sobre els aspectes més rellevants del *portafolio per a l'ensenyament de la traducció, específicament en la universitat, s'ofereix una descripció exhaustiva dels efectes positius de la utilització de l'instrument en el curs. El treball acaba amb una valoració de l'experiència per part dels participants.
Physical education student teachers' perceptions of applying knowledge and skills about emotional understanding studied in PETE in a one-year teachin…
2013
Background: Recently, there has been growing interest in the emotional aspects of teaching and learning in general education and in physical education (PE). Scholars have argued that high-quality teaching and learning depend on a teacher's knowledge of students' emotions (Hargreaves 1998, 2000, 2002; McCaughtry 2004; McCaughtry and Rovegno 2003; Owens and Ennis 2005; Poulou 2007; Sutton and Wheatley 2003). To this end, three course modules in social and emotional learning (SEL) were added to the degree programme for PE students in Finland. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine student teachers' retrospective perceptions of implementing social and emotional strategies to build em…
