A Longitudinal Study of the Effects of Service-Learning on Physical Education Teacher Education Students

2022

Research examining Service-Learning (SL) in Physical Education Teacher Education (PETE) is ample. However, long-term investigations are still scarce and literature demands the application of this type of design to uncover the effects of SL on the long run. This study followed a longitudinal quantitative approach; thus, the participants completed the Civic Attitudes and Skills Questionnaire (CASQ) in three occasions (pretest-postest1-postest2). Results show that there exist significant differences between mean values of the global outcomes of the CASQ; concretely, there was an improvement in the first interval followed by a decrease in the second period. Regarding the different dimensions of…

Exploring dialogical spaces of discovery

2023

This paper revisits two teacher-education contexts which we independently researched. Both contexts invested in teacher-professional transformation, presenting unique puzzles in our respective data analyses. Bringing together Bakhtinian dialogic theory and Natural Inclusionality (Rayner, 2017), we return to these puzzles in a reflective dialogue. The paper unpacks two emergent themes. The first theme details our sense-making of the dialogic-dialectic-dialogic flow as part of professional development, and the second theme captures our deliberations about the energy-filled spaces of the in-between that form part of teacher development in our contexts. The paper discusses key insights about th…

Professional Journeys and Research Lives of Physical Education Teacher Educators

2019

During the early years of research in the subject area of physical education (PE), Lawson (1991) set out an agenda for bettering our understanding of those who educate teachers of this subject. Among the research questions he identified as worthy of consideration were their career pathways and the motivations for and impact of their research endeavours. The research presented in this thesis had four aims: (i) to scope the extant literature on PE teacher educators, (ii) to examine the professional views of an international group of PE teacher educators regarding the purpose of their subject, (iii) to determine what influenced participants’ entry to, and development within, their profession, …

This paper purports to shed light on primary school teachers’ initial training in the field of creative writing, rewriting and rough draft practices. It analyses a corpus of various pieces of writing by school children and trainee teachers, collected through the implementation of a teaching unit using authors’ and children’s literature writers’ drafts and working documents with children aged 8-11 (CE2-CM) on the one hand, and with trainee teachers on the other. As part of a seminar on introduction to research, these trainee teachers thus questioned their own writing practices, their conception of rewriting and their teaching practices

Evaluation of metacognitive regulation skills in writing tasks in L1 and EFL in pre-service teachers

2020

The objective of this thesis is to diagnose the strategies of metacognitive control in writing of pre-service teachers (PSTs) in the deferred revision of two writing tasks in L1 (Spanish/Catalan) and English as a foreign language (EFL). Two exploratory studies were designed. In the first one, ninety-eight (N=98) PSTs took part they were split into higher (B2&C1) or lower (A1-B1) EFL proficiency and wrote either an essay (knowledge-transforming) or a summary (knowledge-telling) in their L1 or EFL. Texts were revised two days later so that text quality could be improved. The metacognitive control was assessed following mostly Allal's (2000) taxonomy. Each aspect of those changes or transforma…

Pre-service foreign language teachers' expectations of their studies and teacher profession

2017

Uusia kielenopettajia tutkittaessa on havaittu, että opettajan alkutaival on usein haastavaa, ja monet toimivat näissä tilanteissa tavoilla, jotka eivät ole edullisia opettajien hyvinvoinnille ja ammattitaidolle. Ratkaisuksi ehdotetaan yleensä kielenopettajakoulutuksen kehittämistä. Kielenopettajaksi opiskelevien toimijuutta ja käsityksiä on kuitenkin tutkittu melko vähän. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää, mitä kielenopettajaopiskelijat odottavat yliopisto-opinnoiltansa ja millaisia käsityksiä heillä on opettajan professiosta. Näitä käsityksiä vertailtiin kieltenopettajankoulutuksen tavoitteisiin ja periaatteisiin, jotka ovat Suomessa tutkimusperusteisia. Tutkimuksen aineisto k…

Opportunità educative della realtà aumentata nella formazione iniziale dei docenti

Il presente contributo mira a esplorare gli atteggiamenti nei confronti della realtà aumentata dei docenti di scuola primaria e dell’infanzia in formazione iniziale. L’indagine ha coinvolto 299 studenti dell'Università di Palermo. Si tratta di studenti, prevalentemente donne (94%; n=281), iscritti al primo anno del corso di laurea in Scienze della Formazione Primaria.

All'inizio del secondo semestre dell’a.a. 2021/22, durante il corso di Tecnologie didattiche per la scuola primaria e dell’infanzia, è stato somministrato un questionario costituito da domande sia a risposta aperta che a risposta ch…

Emotional intelligence in Greek teacher education : Findings from a short intervention

2021

AbstractEmotional intelligence (EI) is widely known to be crucial for professional development in education, and it is a curricular component of Greek teacher education. Still, there is little information available on student teachers’ EI. The aim of this study was to explore whether student teachers’ trait EI can be developed through a two-week, EI-focused intervention. The study followed a quasi-experimental design with a mixed method approach, using the Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire-Short Form (Greek version) (N = 42) and reflective emotion diaries (N = 19). The participants were third-year undergraduate students studying primary education and teaching at the University of C…
