From the school to the university : A narrative pedagogy for teacher education
2020
El presente artículo muestra el modo en que la indagación narrativa se convierte en un pasaje formativo entre aquello que experimentamos al investigar junto a maestras en la escuela y aquello que se va movilizando como un saber narrativo, práctico, y de la experiencia, en nuestras clases en la universidad. Esos pasajes nos preparan para una relación con la realidad educativa. Una realidad que requiere de una relación pensante con el acontecer de las cosas, con aquello que nuestras estudiantes han vivido y con aquello que vamos viviendo junto a ellas en la Formación Inicial del Profesorado. Los pasajes son, entonces, un modo de transitar la pregunta pedagógica por los hechos educativos. Un m…
Historical competencies and narratives: the historical thinking of students and pre-service teachers
2015
Se analizan las competencias de pensamiento histórico de estudiantes españoles de bachillerato y del Máster de Profesorado, y sus narrativas sobre historia de España. Se utilizan métodos cualitativos para identificar: a) su pensamiento histórico, que comprende conocimientos sustantivos y uso de metaconceptos; b) en cuanto a sus narrativas, la gradación cognitiva (taxonomía SOLO) y el sujeto narrativo utilizado. Los resultados muestran que la mayoría de los estudiantes de secundaria no utilizan metaconceptos. La complejidad del pensamiento histórico del profesorado en formación está relacionada con el empleo de contenidos sustantivos. Los resultados apuntan a la necesidad de mejorar la educa…
Exploring the Affordances of SimReal for Learning Mathematics in Teacher Education: A Socio-Cultural Perspective
2020
SimReal is an innovative technology that emerged the last few years in mathematics education. It provides new potentialities for mathematical learning by means of dynamic and interactive visualizations of mathematical concepts. This paper uses SimReal in the context of teacher education to explore the affordances and constraints of the tool for the learning of mathematics. It presents a framework that combines Vygotsky’s socio-cultural theory, the role of mediation, and the notion of affordance at a technological, pedagogical, and socio-cultural level. The aim of the article is to explore the extent to which SimReal as a mediating artifact affords students’ mathematical learning in teacher …
Towards Dialogic Teaching in Science: Challenging Classroom Realities through Teacher Education.
2013
Lehesvuori, Sami Towards Dialogic Teaching in Science: Challenging Classroom Realities through Teacher Education Jyvaskyla: University of Jyvaskyla, 2013, 87 p. (Jyvaskyla Studies in Education, Psychology and Social Research ISSN 0075-4625; 465) ISBN 978-951-39-5151-1 (nid.) ISBN 978-951-39-5152-8 (PDF) Diss. Finnish summary The aim of this study was to explore dialogic teaching in school classroom and teacher education contexts. Despite moves towards more socially-oriented and student-centred curricula, science classroom communication remains prevailingly authoritative and monologic. In order to address the dialogic gap existing in the field, within this study an intervention was developed…

Abstract This study addresses the crucial relationship between theory and practice as a key feature of professional learning in initial teacher education. The context for the study is an EU-funded intensive programme drawing on different dimensions of insideness and outsideness and arts-based pedagogies in response to the diversity of education today. The data for the study comes from self-selected pages from preservice teacher participants’ reflective sketchbooks. As a methodological approach that unifies the sensuous and cognitive this study suggests that reflective sketchbooks document the dialogic encounters of students whilst also providing a material space that can itself become a for…
El Máster en Profesorado de Secundaria desde dentro: expectativas y realidades del Prácticum
2016
El objetivo principal que se plantea este trabajo es analizar las prácticas externas en la formación del profesorado de Educación Secundaria desde el punto de vista del discente en prácticas, aportando argumentos para la autocrítica y dando voz a los verdaderos protagonistas del máster, su alumnado. Hemos utilizado como herramienta metodológica los grupos de discusión, optando por la elaboración de resultados y conclusiones como estrategia descriptiva-clasificatoria-interpretativa, donde se aportan soluciones y propuestas de mejora, fruto de la reflexión compartida. Se han analizado entre otros aspectos teoría versus práctica, metodologías de enseñanza-aprendizaje, percepción previa de los…
Pre-service teachers’ experiences with a digital examination design: The inter-relation between continuity and change in an institutional context
2019
AbstractThis article reports a study of a full-scale digital examination in a five-year master program of teacher education in Norway. The innovative design involves observing a video case based on an authentic classroom situation and analysing the case in light of educational theory and subject content knowledge. All parts of this format are to be solved on a computer with Internet access. The study is centred on the pre-service teachers’ experiences of this open-ended and unfamiliar testing format. More specifically, the intention has been to analyse (a) what kinds of preparations they engaged in; (b) how they solved tasks during the examination; (c) their reflections on this mode of exam…
Digital Wisdom Development and Self-reflection of Teacher Candidates
2023
Being digitally wise allows today’s students not only to strengthen their natural abilities through existing technologies, but also to respond appropriately to learning networks that are increasingly complex. As a result, it is crucial that teachers and educators continually update and expand their professional knowledge base and improve their practices in order to meet the learning needs of their increasingly diverse students. The research has been conducted during the academic year 2021–2022 with the participation of 1173 teacher trainees enrolled in the Primary Education Degree Program at the University of Palermo. The trainees carried out their activities through digital tools. Brown an…
Språkmedvetenhet i småbarnspedagogiskt arbete – Finländska daghemspedagogers reflektioner
2019
Sammandrag: Under det senaste decenniet har Finland blivit alltmer mångspråkigt. Det syns också i styrdokumenten. I denna artikel beskrivs hur pedagoger vid ett tvåspråkigt så kallat samlokaliserat daghem resonerar kring begreppet språkmedvetenhet och hur deras diskurser förhåller sig till det som skrivs om språkmedvetenhet i Grunderna för planen för småbarnspedagogik 2016 (det nationella styrdokumentet för småbarnspedagogik). Enligt resultaten är pedagogerna medvetna om deras roll som språkmedvetna vuxna och hur de kan stödja barns språkliga medvetenhet i svenska/finska medan diskurser om annan flerspråkighet ej förekommer spontant. Studien visar att det är viktigt att diskutera språkmedve…
Preservice teachers’ beliefs about young children’s technology use at home
2021
Teachers’ beliefs about young children’s technology use at home are intertwined with their beliefs about parents and their parenting practices. This paper reports a qualitative study of eight purposefully selected Chinese preservice early childhood (EC) teachers’ beliefs about children’s home technology use and associated representations of parents and teachers. The participants possessed inflated positive beliefs about young children’s natural technology competence but were worried that parents would expose children to content for prolonged periods. Teachers’ role was seen as responsible guides for children and educational authorities over parents. Implications for research and teacher edu…
