The intellectual demands of the intended chemistry curriculum in Czechia, Finland, and Turkey: a comparative analysis based on the revised Bloom's ta…
2020
Understanding the intellectual demands of an intended curriculum is crucial as it defines the frames for teaching and learning processes and practice during lessons. In this study, upper-secondary school chemistry curricula contents in Czechia, Finland, and Turkey were analysed, and their objectives were compared using the Revised Bloom's Taxonomy (RBT). The intellectual demands were examined analysing the action verbs in the three curricula objectives based on their association with the intended cognitive process dimensions in the RBT. The Turkish upper-secondary chemistry curriculum was found to be more structured, detailed, and containing more objectives than the Czech and Finnish curric…
Entrepreneurship Training and Self-Employment among University Graduates
2012
In economies characterized by low labor demand and high rates of youth unemployment, entrepreneurship training has the potential to enable youth to gain skills and create their own jobs. This paper presents experimental evidence on a new entrepreneurship track that provides business training and personalized coaching to university students in Tunisia. Undergraduates in the final year of licence appliquee were given the opportunity to graduate with a business plan instead of following the standard curriculum. This paper relies on randomized assignment of the entrepreneurship track to identify impacts on labor market outcomes one year after graduation. The analysis finds that the entrepreneur…
Predatory journals and conferences: why fake counts
2020
Purpose of review Predatory publishing poses a serious educational end ethical threat to the credibility of science. The aim of this review is to discuss the main features of this deceptive open-access model, its potential consequences and relevance for the whole scientific community. Recent findings Recent reports showed that scholars and clinicians from all research fields, including anesthesiology, are facing an alarming invasion of predatory journals and, more recently, fake conferences. This review discusses key elements of these phenomena and proposes countermeasures to tackle the problem. Summary Predatory journals and conferences are two sides of the same coin. As here reviewed, the…
Fire simulation-based adaptation of SmartRescue App for serious game: Design, setup and user experience
2015
Managing the crisis by embracing game and simulation elements and human participation into an interactive system is a mean to learn about responding to unexpected events. This so-called serious game approach is adopted in a summer school for crisis management attended by doctoral students and practitioners, as a part of its learning curriculum. The participants took part in the Disaster in my Backyard serious game, designed as a realistic crisis environment. A smartphone app encompassing fire simulations of a five-story apartment, showing how the flame, smoke and temperature of the fire developed over time from floor to floor, was tested in this serious game scenario. The color-coding of sm…
The basic curriculum as a model for the right to a quality education
2018
En el presente artículo se analiza, desde un enfoque amplio, el derecho que toda persona tiene a la educación. Es decir, tomamos como principio la idea de que para el disfrute. pleno de este derecho esencial y universalmente reconocido no basta con el mero acceso a la escuela, sino que es necesario que el alumnado reciba unos aprendizajes fundamentales. Estos se tienen que garantizar, principalmente durante la etapa de escolarización obligatoria, a través del currículum –el instrumento fundamental en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje–. Un currículum básico compuesto por aquellos conocimientos que nadie debe ignorar, para así poder asegurar que todos los alumnos y alumnas, sin excepciones,…
Towards Dialogic Teaching in Science: Challenging Classroom Realities through Teacher Education.
2013
Lehesvuori, Sami Towards Dialogic Teaching in Science: Challenging Classroom Realities through Teacher Education Jyvaskyla: University of Jyvaskyla, 2013, 87 p. (Jyvaskyla Studies in Education, Psychology and Social Research ISSN 0075-4625; 465) ISBN 978-951-39-5151-1 (nid.) ISBN 978-951-39-5152-8 (PDF) Diss. Finnish summary The aim of this study was to explore dialogic teaching in school classroom and teacher education contexts. Despite moves towards more socially-oriented and student-centred curricula, science classroom communication remains prevailingly authoritative and monologic. In order to address the dialogic gap existing in the field, within this study an intervention was developed…
«Formalistic obscurantism»? An attempt to decipher the curriculum in social studies
2021
I 2020 trådte det nye læreplanverket, Kunnskapsløftet 2020, i kraft i norsk skole. I artikkelen har vi valgt samfunnsfaget i ungdomsskolen som eksempelstudium. Vi presenterer en detaljert, empirinær analyse av forholdet mellom kompetansemål, kjerneelementer og tverrfaglige tema i læreplanstrukturen for skolefag, samt forholdet mellom disse og overordnet del. Eksempelet er avgrenset til samfunnsfaget på ungdomsskolen, og basert på det forskriftsfestede planverket og den digitale støttemodulen. Funnene i denne delen av analysen gir praktisk kunnskap om læreplanene som er helt sentral for lærerutdannere og lærere, og som har overføringsverdi (og relevans) for fagdidaktikk for andre skolefag. I…
Barns tilgang til erfaringer som er relevante for samfunnsfag
2022
Praktiske erfaringer er en viktig kilde til sakkunnskap i samfunnsfag på småskoletrinnet. 97 prosent av elevene har 2–5 års barnehageerfaring når de begynner på skolen, og innholdet i barnehagehverdagen har betydning for skolestarternes erfaringsrikdom. Styringsdokumentene legger premisser for barns tilgang til slike erfaringer, og artikkelens problemstilling er: I hvilken grad legger planverket til rette for faglig progre-sjon mellom nærmiljø og samfunn i barnehagen og samfunnsfag på småskoletrinnet? Materialet er hentet fra Rammeplan for barnehagen (RP17) og Læreplan i samfunnsfag (LK20). For å sammenlikne så forskjellige plandokumenter har jeg utviklet et analyse-verktøy med utgangspunkt…
Homeostasis in school science: analysis of the subject and results of a proposal for classroom work
2016
El trabajo presenta un breve repaso del nacimiento del concepto de homeostasis en la historia de la fisiología. Se ha realizado un estudio de aula con estudiantes de tercer curso de secundaria apreciando las dificultades que estos presentan para construir una visión holista del concepto de homeostasis. La ciencia escolar porta una iconicidad múltiple, derivada del lenguaje experto, que en muchos casos se revela como un obstáculo para el aprendizaje de los estudiantes novatos. Siendo la homeostasis un concepto básico en la estructura del curriculum nacional se hace una llamada para ahondar en su investigación didáctica.
Finalidades de la enseñanza de las ciencias en la Secundaria obligatoria. ¿Alfabetización científica o preparación propedéutica?
2001
Resumen basado en el de la revista El propósito de este trabajo es encontrar las ideas, propósitos y objetivos de los profesores de ciencias dentro del marco de las reformas educativas. Se trata de revelar en que medida el pensamiento educativo da prioridad a la enseñanza de los estudiantes en los conceptos científicos, leyes y teorías necesarias en cursos superiores (capacitación propedéutica) y como este pensamiento presta menos atención a la llamada alfabetización científica lo cual se suponía iba a ser el principal objetivo de la enseñanza de ciencias de acuerdo con los diseños del currículum . Al lograr esto, se lleva a cabo un diseño experimental multiple y convergente con un múmero d…
