Hospital pedagogy. An unfinished business in the university training of education professionals
2019
La pedagogía hospitalaria se desarrolla donde hay alumnado enfermo, velando por el derecho a la educación de los niños y las niñas. Ello implica que la formación en pedagogía hospitalaria no debe estar dirigida únicamente a los docentes hospitalarios, ya que cualquier docente puede, a lo largo de su carrera profesional, atender en sus aulas a niños/as que enfermen. Este artículo tiene como objetivo reflexionar sobre la necesidad de dicha formación, justificándola a partir de una investigación que ha supuesto el análisis e interpretación de diferentes datos, documentos legislativos y planes de estudio. Para ello, se utiliza una metodología cualitativa, haciendo uso del análisis documental co…

On the one hand, France and Switzerland offer both academic and vocational routes to higher education, whereas academic routes prevail in Canada. On the other hand, immigrant students are underrepresented in Swiss and French higher education, while they generally seem to be much more successful in Canada. In this paper we wish to …

Acquisition of skills in critical emergency medicine: an experimental study on the SIAARTI Academy CREM experience

Co-teaching as a context for teachers' professional learning and joint knowledge construction
2012
Abstract The study examined two primary teachers' professional learning and joint knowledge construction in the context of co-teaching. The teachers narrated their learning as a collaborative process with serendipitous origins. Shared knowledge construction was crucial in the learning process, as was implementing the resulting new ideas in practice. It is concluded that experiences of co-teaching may support teachers in meeting their professional responsibilities effectively. Professional development programmes need to be sensitive to teachers' individual and collaborative learning experiences to be able better to support them in the natural context of those experiences in particular local …

The premise of the 15th ICMI Study is that teachers are key to students' opportunities to learn mathematics.

The Professional Education and Development of Teachers of Mathematics assembles important new international work- development, research, theory and practice - concerning the professional education of teachers of mathematics. As it examines critical areas to reveal what is known and what significant questions and problems warrant collective attention, the volume also contributes to the strengthening of the international co…
The impact of foreign language mediated teaching on teachers’ sense of professional integrity in the CLIL classroom
2011
Content and language integrated learning (CLIL) has received significant interest in recent years as a practical means of creating a plurilingual European community. A key feature of CLIL is the non-native speaking teacher responsible for developing learners’ content and language knowledge in a foreign language mediated environment. Teachers often enter the CLIL classroom with established expertise in either content or language learning; however, the impact of entering the foreign language mediated environment is little explored in existing literature. This investigative research is based on six teacher interviews intended to access the teachers’ own understanding of how foreign language me…

Pilot study on university students' opinion about STEM studies at higher education
2020
The percentages of women enrolled in higher education in the STEM sector are significantly lower than those of men. Overall, gender representation in science, technology, engineering and mathematics degrees in Europe is not balanced. The Leaky Pipeline phenomenon, marked by gender stereotypes, makes the latent gender gap a relevant topic of study. Studies exist on academic performance, self-perception, self-efficacy, outcome expectations; however, studying gender stereotypes linked to STEM studies is also essential. It is necessary to know the social and family context in which young people have grown up, as well as their perception of such studies. To study gender stereotypes of university…
