Constructing a pedagogical practice across disciplines in pre-service teacher education
2019
In this paper we report a qualitative case study of a teaching intervention in which a pre-service subject teacher pair planned and conducted a course integrating Finnish language and ethics in a multilingual setting. Audio-recorded planning sessions and interviews including learning diaries were analysed using qualitative content analysis to identify the dynamics of collaborative cross-curricular pedagogical practice development and pedagogical language knowledge. The analysis revealed tensions in crossing the boundary between language and content knowledge. The study suggests that when creating cross-curricular practices, student teachers benefit from longer-term processes and theory-base…
La ricerca pedagogica e la ricostruzione storica delle buone pratiche nel tempo del presentismo. Riflessioni intorno a un paradigma.
2015
Scopo del presente articolo è di fare chiarezza sul ruolo che oggi le indagini storiche intorno alle pratiche educative rivestono all’interno della ricerca pedagogica. Se, fino a pochi anni fa era opportuno parlare di passaggio dalla storia della pedagogia alla storia dell’educazione, a ben vedere, le attuali ricerche storiche sembrano più orientate a ripensare un dialogo costruttivo e reciproco con il sapere pedagogico. Tra la ricerca pedagogica e la ricerca storico-educativa sembra esservi una nuova sinergia: nel tempo del presentismo, in cui tutto sembra consumarsi velocemente, il pedagogista pensa e agisce a partire da una coscienza storica che lo rende più consapevole del proprio tempo…
Pedagogika społeczna - praca sojalna - zbiory rozłączne?
2016
Podejścia, koncepcje i modele wychowania oraz społecznego funkcjonowania jednostek i grap społecznych, wyznaczające naukową refleksje nad pedagogiką społeczną przenikają do pracy socjalnej. Pedagogika społeczna jest inspiracją dla tworzenia teoretycznych podstaw praktyczne; pracy socjalnej, konstytuującej się jako nowa dyscyplina naukowa w Polsce. Konieczność podjęcia wysiłku intelektualnego nad usamodzielnieniem pracy socjalnej, jako dyscypliny naukowej, podyktowana jest zarówno przemianami społeczno-gospodarczymi, politycznymi i moralnymi w naszym kraju, jak i szybkim tempem rozwoju pracy socjalnej jako dyscypliny naukowej w krajach wysoko uprzemysłowionych, do których Polska niewątpliwie…
Teaching Is a Story Whose First Page Matters : Teacher Counselling as Part of Teacher Growth
2022
The starting point of the study is the work counselling process taking place in the induction phase of the students’ teaching career. The work counselling process consists of activities that support and strengthen the students’ teacher hood and their primary function as teachers by helping them to analyse their work and to attach to working life as newly graduated teachers. In this study, we use contextualisation and storytelling in the frameworks of positive pedagogy and systems theory to reflect on the students’ growth process as teachers. We also acknowledge the importance of Vygotsky’s zone of proximal development and, related to that, timely learning support (scaffolding) and a solutio…
Teaching competences in Secondary Education : analysis of teachers’ profiles
2014
This paper reports some of the findings from a study that aimed to analyse the importance attributed by secondary education teachers from the province of Castellón (Spain) to teaching competencies and to establish professional profiles from their responses. The survey was based on a purposely designed questionnaire answered by a representative sample of 136 secondary teachers from Castellón, representing 23 school departments. From an analysis of the responses we identified three professional profiles based on the importance that teachers attribute to a range of competencies; although all the competencies were valued highly, we found that teachers still consider the traditional delivery of …
Using a phone-based learning tool as an instructional resource for initial literacy learning in rural African families
2020
Background: Despite increased enrolments at primary schools in Zambia, more than half of the children in Grades 1–4 are unable to meet the required minimum standards for literacy. Aim: The study set out to examine the effects of using a phone-based mobile literacy game (Graphogame) to improve literacy skills in children and adults in rural family settings. Setting: The study was conducted in the Katete District, a rural town in the eastern province of Zambia. Methods: Participants were 73 Grade 2 learners (52% boys, mean age 9 years and 48% girls, mean age 10 years) and 37 parents (mean age 36 years). Three literacy tests, measuring letter-sound identification, phonological awareness, spell…
Institutional and Affective Practices of Domestic Violence Interventions in Social Work: Malignant Positioning of Victims
2020
This chapter investigates the institutional and affective practices of domestic violence (DV) interventions in Finnish social work. It examines the expression of social workers’ emotions related to intervening in DV and how these expressions result in the positioning of clients. Encountering and intervening in DV is often challenging; ideological presumptions, conceptions, gender-neutral discussions and misrecognition of violence affect institutional arrangements and practices, and the ways in which professionals feel about and respond to violence. We utilise positioning theory to analyse social workers’ focus group interview data (n = 20). We consider (1) how emotions expressed by social w…

Best practices for teaching boys
2015
Boys are the ones in trouble, they say. They are trailing girls in reading and writing, are more likely to get in trouble or be labelled as learning disabled, and are less likely to go to college. Educators, citing emerging brain research, say that the two sexes learn differently and that schools are more geared to girls than to their ants-in-the-pants counterparts. But they are adopting strategies to help boys succeed, from playing multiplication baseball to handing out stress balls and setting up boys-only schools. Nowadays, there is an urgent call for a more significant presence of male teachers in primary schools. Here are the results of an extensive research concerning gender differenc…
Il concetto di personalizzazione Evoluzione teorica e applicazioni scolastiche
2018
Dopo venti anni di studi e dibattiti sull’individualizzazione e la personalizzazione a scuola si è fatta maggiore chiarezza sulla personalizzazione della didattica, al punto che oggi si può affermare con sufficiente certezza e ampio consenso che un docente pratica una didattica personalizzata se, con specifiche azioni coltiva in ogni alunno sia le sue caratteristiche uniche e originali sia la sua capacità di relazione e di collaborazione in un progetto condiviso; se nella sua classe prevede sia obiettivi educativi comuni che tutti gli alunni devono raggiungere sia obiettivi educativi individuali per diversi gruppi di alunni o per un solo alunno; se fa svolgere agli alunni sia attività di ap…
