Informe Preliminar Sobre la Encuesta de Prácticas Docentes en Países en Vía de Desarrollo

2013

This paper illustrates a research method appropriate for researchers examining teaching practices and teacher training in poor countries. The method of research described here does not compare with large scale studies in terms of sample size, scientific rigor, and sophisticated statistical analysis. We believe, however, that it can, provide valid information sufficient in accuracy for policy making. Most importantly, we believe, this method offers a feasible way for national researchers to explore why teachers teach as they do in their country. A fundamental assumption is that once in the classroom most teachers learn little more about teaching. In the absence of any systematic feedback or …

La formazione iniziale degli insegnanti attraverso la pratica del microteaching.

2014

Le metodologie che fanno uso della videoregistrazione sono sempre più utilizzate nella formazione professionale dei futuri insegnanti. La professionalità del docente richiede oltre alle conoscenze teoriche o disciplinari, la capacità di mobilitare i saperi per organizzare risposte efficaci a problemi complessi e rilevanti e la capacità di riflettere sul proprio agire. È necessario che durante il percorso universitario l’insegnante in formazione acquisisca specifiche competenze e capacità autoriflessive. Questo contributo descrive una metodologia per la creazione di esperienze formative centrate sull’utilizzo della videoregistrazione e per la raccolta di dati sull’effetto del video sull’appr…

Student teachers’ responsible use of ICT: Examining two samples in Spain and Norway

2020

Information and communication technology (ICT) has become an important component of initial teacher education (ITE) in Europe and in the continuous professional development of practising teachers. The development of professional digital competence (PDC) is emerging as an essential part of teacher education. Due to the increasing use of ICT and the growing number of online teaching and learning resources, the responsible use of ICT has become one of the key aspects of PDC. For the purpose of this paper, the responsible use of ICT includes privacy issues, cyberbullying and the ability to evaluate digital content. We examine Spanish and Norwegian student teachers' perceived competence in priva…

Cultural transposition: Italian didactic experiences inspired by Chinese and Russian perspectives on whole number arithmetic

2019

The paper presents some reflections and activities developed by researchers and teachers involved in teacher education programs on cultural transposition. The construct of cultural transposition is presented as a condition for decentralizing the didactic practice of a specific cultural context through contact with other didactic practices of different cultural contexts. We discuss the background theoretical issues of this approach and also give an analysis of two examples of cultural transposition experiences carried out in Italy. In particular, by means of qualitative analysis of some excerpts, discussions, and interviews, we show that the contact with different perspectives coming from Ch…

Critical stance within a community of inquiry in an advanced mathematics course for pre-service teachers

2020

AbstractThis paper reports a study of university students’ experiences of learning mathematics in an introductory differential equations course that takes an inquiry approach to learning and teaching. The students are on a trajectory leading toward a bachelor’s degree in mathematics to be followed by a year-long teacher education credential program. The analysis of students’ end of course presentations and written portfolios is framed with community of practice theory, complemented with analytic categories from community of inquiry, including notions of inquiry stance and critical alignment. Our social theorization of university mathematics education adds a complementary perspective to the …

Student-teachers’ use ofGoogle Earthin problem-based geology learning

2011

Geographical Information Systems (GIS) are adequate for analyzing complex scientific and spatial phenomena in geography education. Google Earth is a geographic information tool for GIS-based learning. It allows students to engage in the lesson, explore the Earth, explain what they identify and evaluate the implications of what they are learning. This paper introduces one example of using Google Earth for problem-based learning processes in teacher education. Student-teachers’ geographical thinking was analyzed during the study process. We have found that although student-teachers have inadequate skills to use information and communication technology, the use of Google Earth improved student…
