University students’ learning approaches : An adaptation of the revised two-factor study process questionnaire to Norwegian
2020
This paper reports a Norwegian validation study of a widely used instrument to measure students’ approaches to learning, namely, Bigg’s revised two-factor study process questionnaire (R-SPQ-2F). Its cultural sensitivity and psychometry evaluations have provoked rigorous discussion among educators in different languages. A survey design was adopted involving 253 undergraduate engineering students across two universities. Confirmatory factor analyses were used to test six models hypothesized to reflect the factor structures of R-SPQ-2F and unidimensionality of its subscales. The results showed appropriate fits of a two-factor first-order model with 10 items measuring deep approach and 9 items…
Flipped classroom in COVID-19 times: a cross-talking perspective
2020
La COVID-19 ha generado una serie de cambios en las diferentes esferas de nuestras vidas. Estos cambios han sido especialmente visibles en el ámbito educativo, donde ha sido necesario repensar los procesos formativos de forma urgente en términos de no presencialidad. En base a esta situación, el presente trabajo presenta una experiencia de Flipped learning llevada a cabo con los estudiantes del primer curso del Grado en Pedagogía de la Universitat de València. Asimismo, se propone un análisis sobre la concepción previa de los estudiantes sobre esta metodología y su percepción tras finalizar su implementación, ofreciendo una visión trasversal. Para ello, se ha recogido la información de los …

Meaningful time for professional growth or a waste of time?: a study in five countries on teachers' experiences within master's dissertation/thesis w…
2020
The relationship between master’s thesis work and teachers’ professional development has rarely been explored empirically, yet. Drawing upon a larger study, this paper investigates how teachers who were studying for or who have recently graduated from Master of Education programmes offered in five countries – Poland, Portugal, England, Latvia, Romania – perceive the usefulness of dissertation/thesis work for their professional development and how they attempt to use their MA research results in their (future) teaching practice. Results suggest that although most respondents recognized their MA dissertation/thesis work as having a positive impact on their professional development by enhancin…
Amplitude and peculiar aspects of social inequalities in the French school
2005
05021http://www.scielo.br/pdf/ep/v31n1/a02v31n1.pdf; International audience; French sociology denounces vehemently since the end of the 1960s the important and standing social inequalities both in the access to the different levels of education and in school success stricto sensu. Such criticism has taken the form of a general theory put forward by Bourdieu and Passeron, in which such social inequalities are shown to be the necessary result of the functioning of the school institution. And this thesis, hugely influential not just among sociologists, but also more widely, has contributed to foster certain fatalism, since it establishes that the very function of school is to reproduce and leg…
Les activités de rééducation GAPP à l'école primaire : analyse du fonctionnement et évaluation des effets
1991
Alain Mingat : Die Umschulungsaktivitäten der GAPP (Gruppen zur psychopädagogischer Hilfe) in der Grundschule. Die GAPP wurden vor za. 20 Jahren geschaffen mit dem Zweck, die Schüler zu unterstützen, die vorübergehende Schwierigkeiten zur guten Eingliederung in die Schule aufweisen. Diese Einrichtung wurde bisher lediglich diskursiv analysiert. Der vorliegende Artikel zeigt, dass starke Unterschiede im Funktionieren der Dienstleistungen bestehen (Mittelzuweisung durch die Verwaltung, Umschulungspraxis, allgemein und zwischen den einzelnen GAPP-Einrichtungen) mit der Konsequenz, dass die Zulassungsentscheidungen sehr ungenau sind : das erleichtet nebenbei die Bewertung der Auswirkungen. Dies…
‘Drawing’ conclusions : Irish primary school children’s understanding of physical education and physical activity opportunities outside of school
2017
This study explores the relationship between primary school physical education and physical activity as sites for the practice of physical activity of Irish primary school children. Understanding how children make connections between physical activity sites is important in shaping physical education experiences that promote lifelong participation. Children’s (aged 8–11) awareness, knowledge, and understanding of physical activity and physical education were examined using participatory methods of ‘draw and write’ ( n = 135) and focus group interviews ( n = 34). In Phase 1, data collection focused on physical activity, while Phase 2 focused on physical education and connections between phys…
Videogames and Inclusive Education project in Palermo Secondary School
2017
Attempting to support videogames for education and learning purposes has prompted considerable attention over the last years. The great variety of digital games available has provided much for educators and researchers to explore, resulting in intense disputes that many games have benefits both in and out of the classroom for learners of secondary school. Many games have been revealed as strong educational tools for their design as well as their effective implementation in the classroom. Thus far, research on the impact and outcomes of this pedagogy is somewhat limited, but promising. Further projects and evaluations are required to provide the support needed in order to encourage more teac…
Smart Pedagogy for Technology-Enhanced Learning
2018
The progress of technology has raised challenges to the educational environment, so it is necessary to search for answers to the questions: How can one teach better? How can one scaffold the student in the learning process? What kind of competencies should be developed? What competencies do teachers need? What kind of technology should be used or not be used? This chapter analyses the role of pedagogy for education and outlines the risks for cognitive development that may result from the introduction of technology without an understanding of pedagogical principles. These risks are defined as a centrifugal effect that can be mitigated by integrating technology into the educational process us…
