Introducing Dialogic Teaching to Science Student Teachers
2011
It is commonly believed that science teachers rely on language that allows only minor flexibility when it comes to taking into account contrasting views and pupil thoughts. Too frequently science teachers either pose questions that target predefined answers or simply lecture through lessons, a major concern from a sociocultural perspective. This study reports the experiences of science student teachers when introduced to the Communicative Approach to science education drawing on dialogic teacher-talk in addition to authoritative teacher-talk. This approach was introduced to the students in an interventional teaching program running parallel to the student teachers’ field practice. The pract…

Creating Learning Environments Free of Violence in Special Education through the Dialogic Model of Prevention and Resolution of Conflicts
2021
Violence suffered by children is a violation of human rights and a global health problem. Children with disabilities are especially vulnerable to violence in the school environment, which has a negative impact on their well-being and health. Students with disabilities educated in special schools have, in addition, more reduced experiences of interaction that may reduce both their opportunities for learning and for building protective social networks of support.

Tästä huolimatta suullinen kielitaito jää valitettavan usein muiden kielitaidon osa-alueiden varjoon, mikä saattaa osaltaan johtua siitä, että ylioppilaskokeessa sitä ei arvioida. Tällä hetkellä käytössä olevissa oppikirjoissa olevat suulliset harjoitukset eivät aina anna oppilaille mahdollisuutta harjoittaa vapaata suullista tuottamista, vaan vaativat tiettyjen kielimuotojen käyttöä ja keskittyvät esimerkiksi sanaston ja kieliopin harjoittelemiseen. Sellaisia tehtäviä, joissa oppilaiden käyttämä kieli muistuttaa oikeaa kielenkäyttötilannetta, ei ole läheskään tarpeeksi. Tämän oppimateriaalin pää…
An Edutainment Implementation in an English Vocational Training Class
2021
Edutainment ha sido definido como la unión entre la educación y el entretenimiento, aspectos que todo profesor querría tener en sus clases. Sin embargo, todavía no hay una implementación suficiente del enfoque para afirmar de una forma clara si es útil utilizarlo en las clases de aprendizaje de segundas lenguas o lenguas extranjeras. Este estudio tiene la ambición de contribuir a la comunidad educativa con un caso que podría ser un punto de partida para futuras investigaciones. En este trabajo se describe una investigación que duró 2 semanas en dos grupos de alumnos de 1º de un curso superior de formación profesional, donde se implementó el Edutainment en el grupo experimental y se implemen…
