Biological evolution still lacks representation in school, especially below high school level. In order to find new implications that could help achieve significant improvement in teaching evolution, twelve expert interviews with both renowned researchers and experienced science teachers were conducted. Results of the comparison between the mindsets of scientists and teachers yield the five recommendations that could significantly improve the teaching practices of biological evolution: (1) Evolution should be taught as early as possible and should be exposed as the central concept of biology. (2) Despite the large theoretical framing of biological evolution, many occasions occur for hands-o…

Student-Teachers’ And School-Based Teacher Educators’ Beliefs About Teaching Practices And Instructional Goals

Este estudio analiza el efecto que los programas de formación del Instituto de Ciencias de la Educación (ICE) de la Universidad de Barcelona (UB) tiene sobre la acción docente del profesorado que recibe esta formación. Se ha valorado la satisfacción del profesorado sobre los cursos recibidos, el nivel de transferencia de los conocimientos adquiridos a la docencia y su repercusión en el rendimiento académico, en la motivación y en la participación de los estudiantes. También se analizan las dificultades para transferir a la práctica los conocimientos y las habilidades adquiridas en la formación. Los indicadores utilizados para la recogida y el análisis de datos forman parte del Sistema Inter…

An examination of teacher-student interactions in inclusive classrooms: teacher interviews and classroom observations

2013

Teacher–student interactions in 17 inclusive classrooms were examined using a mixed-methods approach that involved quantitative analysis of interactions recorded during classroom observations and follow-up interviews with seven general educators. Observational findings suggest that classrooms were organised along traditional lines with the vast majority of interactions provided by general educators to the whole class, followed by brief intervals of 1 : 1 interactions directed towards individual students, most frequently children with disabilities. Interview findings suggest that teachers were aware of the greater individual attention devoted to students with disabilities and described a num…

The effective group size for teaching cardiopulmonary resuscitation skills – A randomized controlled simulation trial

2021

Abstract Aim of the study The ideal group size for effective teaching of cardiopulmonary resuscitation is currently under debate. The upper limit is reached when instructors are unable to correct participants’ errors during skills practice. This simulation study aimed to define this limit during cardiopulmonary resuscitation teaching. Methods Medical students acting as simulated Basic Life Support course participants were instructed to make three different pre-defined Basic Life Support quality errors (e.g., chest compression too fast) in 7 min. Basic Life Support instructors were randomized to groups of 3–10 participants. Instructors were asked to observe the Basic Life Support skills and …
