Pre-service Science Teacher Preparation in Europe: Comparing Pre-service Teacher Preparation Programs in England, France, Finland and Cyprus
2015
A number of reports recently identify that the quality of science education in a number of European countries is lower than expected. One of the reasons for the apparent underachievement in this generally economically prosperous continent might be a pedagogy of science that lacks variety, or a pedagogy that is less engaging than other subjects. Given the diversity of European education systems, the purpose of this paper is to present aspects of four pre-service teacher preparation programs illustrating the similarities and differences that emerge. Specifically, we present the teacher preparation programs in England, Finland, France and Cyprus.
Tendencias actuales en la formación del profesorado de ciencias
2021
In the last few years, there has been a significant growth of interest in science teacher education. An analysis of recent science teacher education research is offered in this paper. This study answers the major question: What does research tell us about the recent trends in teacher preparation? We are beginning to understand that in the in-service or pre-service training is it very important to know the effects of: a) a limited content knowledge, b) the «commonsense» conceptions, behaviors and attitudes about different aspects of science teaching; c) the need of integration «knowledge -practice» in programs of teacher education and that; d) theses obstacles to didactic knowledge adquisiti…
Preservice teachers’ perspectives about coherence in their teacher education program
2019
While different countries have inherited different methods of teacher preparation, all countries aim for coherent programs, i.e. university-based courses are aligned with classroom practice. Yet, m...
Opportunities to Study, Practice, and Rehearse Teaching in Teacher Preparation: An International Perspective
2020
BackgroundAround the world, policy makers and teacher educators are paying increasing attention to how teacher candidates learn to study and enact teaching and to grounding preparation more deeply in teachers’ classroom practice. Evidence from the United States and the Netherlands suggests that efforts to tie preparation to practice may significantly impact pupils’ learning. However, the nature of teacher candidates’ opportunities to study, practice, and rehearse teaching remains underexplored, especially in international studies.PurposeOur research analyzes opportunities to study, practice, and rehearse teaching in teacher education coursework in five different programs in five countries. …
El uso del iPad como elemento de mejora de la competencia digital en la formación inicial de los maestros
2020
La nueva sociedad del conocimiento requiere nuevas competencias para los docentes del siglo xxi. Una de las competencias clave son las conocidas como las competencias digitales, que todo estudiante debe haber adquirido una vez acabada la enseñanza obligatoria. Por tanto, se hace necesario que los docentes estén preparados para crear los escenarios que propicien la adquisición de estas competencias. El objetivo del presente artículo es un primer acercamiento al Plan de Innovación Tecnológica en la Educación (PITE) con el fin de introducir mejoras en él. Se trata de un estudio basado en un diseño de encuesta, cuya muestra la constituyen estudiantes de las titulaciones de grado de Maestro en E…
Exploration of new post-secondary mathematics teachers' experiences: preliminary results of a narrative inquiry
2018
International audience; This paper reports on a pilot study that has taken place during the winter semester of 2017, for a larger project whose goal is to understand the process of becoming a mathematics teacher at post-secondary level. With very few information from the literature on this process at this specific level, this pilot study acts as an exploration of the issues and reality the new teachers face. To do so, we conducted a narrative inquiry with three new post-secondary mathematics teachers who were interviewed on a regular basis during a semester. Those interviews provided an insight into the new teachers' experiences by pointing out themes that are relevant to them. We also came…
User involvement in the implementation of welfare technology in home care services: The experience of health professionals—A qualitative study
2020
Aims and objectives: The aim of this study is to learn more about factors that promote or inhibit user involvement among health professionals when implementing welfare technology in home care services. Background: It is a health policy goal to increase the use of welfare technology in order to address some of the challenges that healthcare services are facing. Health professionals' involvement is important for the successful implementation of welfare technology in home care services. Design: The study has an explorative and descriptive longitudinal design based on a qualitative approach. Five focus group interviews were conducted with 16 nurses and assistant nurses from three different muni…
Multivariate Assessment of Procedures for Molecularly Imprinted Polymer Synthesis for Pesticides Determination in Environmental and Agricultural Samp…
2021
In the case of quantitative and qualitative analysis of pesticides in environmental and food samples, it is required to perform a sample pre-treatment process. It allows to minimalize the impact of interferences on the final results, as well as increase the recovery rate. Nowadays, apart from routinely employed sample preparation techniques such as solid-phase extraction (SPE) or solid-phase microextraction (SPME), the application of molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) is gaining greater popularity. It is mainly related to their physicochemical properties, sorption capacity and selectivity, thermo-mechanical resistance, as well as a wide range of polymerization techniques allowing to obta…
Influence of preparation conditions on the catalytic performance of mo/h-zsm-5 for methane dehydroaromatization
2021
[EN] Methane, the main component of natural gas, is an interesting source of chemicals and clean liquid fuels, and a promising alternative raw material to oil. Among the possible direct routes for methane conversion, its aromatization under non-oxidative conditions has received increasing attention, despite the low conversions obtained due to thermodynamic limitations, because of its high selectivity to benzene. Mo/H-ZSM-5, the first bifunctional zeolite-catalyst proposed for this reaction, is still considered as one of the most adequate and has been widely studied. Although the mono- or bifunctional nature of the MDA mechanism is still under debate, it is generally accepted that the Mo spe…
