Influencia de la formación y la investigación didáctica del profesorado de ciencias sobre su práctica docente
2021
Este trabajo analiza las relaciones entre la formación, la investigación en didáctica y la práctica docente del profesorado de ciencias de secundaria. La muestra no probabilística está formada por 55 profesores de secundaria. La metodología elegida es de tipo mixto (cuantitativo-cualitativo) y utiliza tres instrumentos complementarios: un cuestionario, un protocolo de observación en el aula y una entrevista. Los resultados de los cuestionarios muestran dos tipos de formación en didáctica de las ciencias: activa y estándar. Las observaciones y las entrevistas ponen de manifiesto la existencia de dos tipologías docentes con grandes diferencias entre ellas en lo referente a estrategias de ense…
Estudi exploratori comparatiu del coneixement didàctic del contingut sobre piles galvàniques de professors de secundària en exercici i en formació
2021
En este estudio exploratorio se evalúa el conocimiento didáctico del contenido (CDC) sobre pilas galvánicas de profesores de secundaria en formación y en ejercicio. Además, este conocimiento se ha relacionado con los enfoques de enseñanza que prefieren. Para este propósito, se ha adaptado el instrumento CoRe de Loughran, Mulhall y Berry (2004) considerando dos situaciones: pila Daniell y pila voltaica simple. La muestra se compuso de 25 profesores en formación y de 15 profesores en ejercicio. El análisis de los resultados obtenidos hasta ahora sugiere que, en primer lugar, el CDC de los profesores de secundaria sobre pilas galvánicas no es el deseable; en segundo lugar, el CDC de los profes…
Comparing the Effect Size of School Level Support on Teachers’ Technology Integration
2020
Teachers are expected to lead the innovative use of Information Communication and Technology (ICT) at the classroom level of context. However, research literature shows that a number of factors influence their ICT pedagogical practices. Therefore, the present study investigates the influence of school level support on teacher educators’ technology integration. A mixed method is used to collect data through three focused interviews (N = 19) and self-completion survey (N = 136). The data collected is analysed both qualitatively and quantitatively. The result shows support for the model hypothesized and suggests that the ICT pedagogical practices of the teacher educators do not predict their t…

Sustainability Development in Mathematics Education : A Case Study of What Kind of Meanings Do Prospective Class Teachers Find for the Mathematical S…
2019
In this article, our focus is on sustainable development in mathematics education from the point of view of teacher training. The aim was to develop prospective teachers’ content knowledge and pedagogical content knowledge of school mathematics. As a case study, we chose the mathematical symbol “a/b”, and examined how prospective class teachers in Finland connect it to the concepts of fraction, ratio, division, rational number or probability. Mathematics textbooks often have a central role in lessons, and they affect strongly how pupils understand concepts and the relationships between them. We chose languaging as a multi-semiotic approach to interpreting what kind of meanings the prospecti…
Investigating Teacher Pedagogical Content Knowledge Of Scientific Inquiry
2014
This paper analyses the scientific inquiry in the context of modelling physical systems and point out some related teaching/learning strategies. Two relevant points are also discussed: i)- the different representations of scientific inquiry held by a sample of secondary school physics teachers and their competencies in conducting investigations aimed at solving scientific problems; ii)- what kind of supports can be supplied to teachers in order to modify their misconceptions about scientific inquiry and develop adequate competences related to Pedagogical Content Knowledge of Scientific Inquiry. The topic will be analysed in the light of some preliminary results of a course for in-service ph…
Contenuti e learning outcomes: una proposta per gli insegnamenti del Corso di Specializzazione sul sostegno
2020
Il lavoro nell’ottica del monitoraggio e del miglioramento ai fini della progettazione delle attività future del Corso di Specializzazione per le Attività di Sostegno (D.M. 30 settembre 2011), si colloca in seno all’attuale dibattito sulla ricerca di indicatori specifici e di strumenti condivisi per valutare e migliorare i risultati della didattica universitaria in questo ambito. L’individuazione dei contenuti core nei Corsi di Specializzazione rappresenta un elemento chiave per la progettazione e la formazione dei futuri docenti di sostegno. L’articolo presenta l’impostazione metodologica di un processo di ricerca messo in atto presso l’Università degli Studi di Palermo nell’a.a. 2018/19, …
Automated scoring of teachers’ pedagogical content knowledge : a comparison between human and machine scoring
2020
To validly assess teachers’ pedagogical content knowledge (PCK), performance-based tasks with open-response formats are required. Automated scoring is considered an appropriate approach to reduce the resource-intensity of human scoring and to achieve more consistent scoring results than human raters. The focus is on the comparability of human and automated scoring of PCK for economics teachers. The answers of (prospective) teachers (N = 852) to six open-response tasks from a standardized and validated test were scored by two trained human raters and the engine “Educational SCoRIng Toolkit” (ESCRITO). The average agreement between human and computer ratings, κw = 0.66, suggests a convergent …
APORTES A LA FORMACIÓN DEL PROFESORADO CONSTRUCTIVISTA: RESULTADOS EN DOS PAÍSES
2016
La investigación aborda la influencia que tiene la participación en la investigación educativa en la calidad de la enseñanza de docentes de ciencias experimentales de Argentina y España. Se han utilizado tres vías de acceso a la actividad educativa de dichos docentes: un cuestionario, una entrevista semiestructurada y la observación de clases, con seis apartados y 34 ítems. La investigación, llevada a cabo con 55 docentes de ciencias españoles y 23 argentinos, pone de manifiesto cómo, a pesar de la diferencia de trayectoria formativa de los docentes y de contexto educativo en ambos países, la formación didáctica intensiva y la puesta en práctica de la misma mediante investigaciones (ya sea …
Influence of Content Knowledge on Pedagogical Content Knowledge: The case of teaching photosynthesis and plant growth
2009
International audience; Abstract The aim of the research was to investigate the effect of the amount and quality of content knowledge on pedagogical content knowledge (PCK). The biological content photosynthesis and plant growth was used as an example. The research sample consisted of 10 primary and 10 secondary (biology) teacher students. Questionnaires, lesson preparation task and an interview were used to collect data. Primary student teachers' were not aware of students' conceptual difficulties and had problems in choosing the most important content. Neither of the groups had knowledge on suitable experiments and demonstrations, which indicates that PCK should be explicitly taught. The …
