Styl i stylistyka w kształceniu językowym
2016
The article attempts to define the place of style and stylistics in the process of teaching Polish as the first language. The paper takes as its reference the current Polish language curriculum, adopting the assumption that curriculum documents present the typical approach to style and stylistics found in Polish language didactics. Issues of style and stylistics are introduced in education in association with the development of productive skills (speaking and writing) and receptive skills (reading and listening). The analysis of curriculum guidelines has shown five aspect of style/stylistics competence that are concentrated on in the classroom: text reception on the level of stylistic and l…
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…
Activity Theory as a Lens to Identify Challenges in Surgical Skills Training at Hospital Work Environment
2015
In this paper the concepts from activity theory (AT) are applied for identifying the challenges and contradictions emerging in surgical residentâs curriculum based training at hospital. AT is utilised as a lens to identify contradictions that cause disturbances, problems, ruptures, breakdowns, and clashes which emerge while surgical skills training is implemented in a new way at hospital. We especially aim at finding solutions for contradictions which emerge while the new and old working culture are confronted and the workers are required to balance themselves between the patient care demands and workplace learning requirements. We are using the conceptual theoretical approach to describe…
First Year Computing Students' Perceptions of Authenticity in Assessment
2017
The problem of how best to assess student learning is a fundamental one in education. Changes to computer science curricula seek to emphasise teaching practices that promote deep learning through direct, contextual examination of student performance on tasks that resemble those of practitioners, rather than more traditional methods. This kind of "authentic assessment" is becoming more popular as it appears to incorporate employability skills associated with professional practice into the curriculum in a natural way. In this paper, we report on an investigation into how computing students themselves understand the terminology of authentic assessment. We give a brief summary of some of the sa…

Taksonomia sprawności słuchania i mówienia w języku polskim jako ojczystym
2021
In their article, Marta Chyb-Winnicka and Anna Tabisz present a taxonomic approach to the teaching of listening and speaking skills in lessons of Polish as a native language. The authors show that the 2017 provisions of the core curriculum for the Polish language in primary schools in Poland put special emphasis on the development of reading and writing skills. For this reason, Chyb-Winnicka and Tabisz underline the importance of teaching the two other skills, i.e., listening and speaking, and argue that taxonomic categories should be used to systematize the knowledge of these skills.
Awareness and knowledge of cyberethics: A comparative study of preservice teachers in Malta, Norway, and Spain
2021
This paper explores the awareness and knowledge of cyberethics held by pre-service teachers across three European countries. The study was conducted via an online survey and yielded 1,131 responses from pre-service teachers in Malta, Norway, and Spain. The facets of cyberethics included in this study focused on behaving responsibly online, safeguarding privacy, respecting copyright, seeking consent of friends before posting images or videos on social media platforms, and considering their professional identity as future teachers when posting online. The findings indicate that pre-service teachers reported relatively similar levels of competence in applying copyright and respecting privacy r…
Socialization Into Teaching Physical Education – Acculturative Formation of Perceived Strengths
2015
1. IntroductionIt is common that physical education (PE) in primary schools is taught by generalist class teachers. They have been found to possess strong socially constructed beliefs about teaching and their teaching competencies already before they enter formal teacher preparation. These beliefs act as filters when acquiring and interpreting new information thus influencing what is learned during the formal teacher preparation (Capel & Katene, 2000; Curtner-Smith, 2001; Doolittle, Dodds, & Placek, 1993; Hutchinson, 1993; Lawson, 1983; Lortie, 1975; Matanin & Collier, 2003; Pajares, 1992; Placek, Dodds, Doolittle, Portman, Ratliffe & Pinkham, 1995; Randall & Maeda, 2010; Richardson, 2003).…
Innoeduca : international journal of technology and educational innovation
2019
La influencia de la tecnología es una realidad innegable en todos los ámbitos de nuestra vida, por ello es fundamental el desarrollo de la Competencia Digital en la formación de postgrado de los futuros profesionales de la educación. Mucho se ha escrito en los últimos años sobre la formación docente en el uso de las tecnologías, y del análisis de los resultados obtenidos en investigaciones previas se constatan limitaciones en la formación específica en TIC recibida en los grados de educación en general, así como la tendencia al desarrollo de esta competencia desde una perspectiva transversal. Bajo esas premisas, en estas líneas se pretende describir y analizar una experiencia de aula basada…
Analysis of the perceived self-‐efficacy in the use of ICT of pre-‐ service primary and preschool teachers
2017
La formación del profesorado en el uso de las TIC es un aspecto importante para conseguir una verdadera integración de las TIC en la educación. Según el modelo TPACK, esta formación no debe limitarse a contemplar de manera separada los aspectos relacionados con las TIC, el contenido curricular y la metodología. En el presente estudio se explora la percepción de autoeficacia en cuanto al uso de las TIC en el aula de una muestra de 107 estudiantes de los grados de Maestro/a en Educación Infantil y en Educación Primaria. Para ello se emplea una traducción del cuestionario para la autoevaluación de las competencias TIC elaborado por Tondeur et al. (2016). Los resultados del estudio muestran que…
