Fostering creative thinking : the role of primary teachers
2014
Τα τελευταία χρόνια παρατηρείται μια αυξανόμενη απαίτηση για δημιουργικότητα σε όλους τους τομείς της ανθρώπινης δραστηριότητας. Η πρωτοβάθμια εκπαίδευση πασχίζει να συμβαδίσει με τις νέες κοινωνικοοικονομικές ανάγκες και να προετοιμάσει τους δημιουργικούς πολίτες του μέλλοντος. Αν και οι εκπαιδευτικοί της πρωτοβάθμιας εκπαίδευσης παίζουν καθοριστικό ρόλο, άλλοτε θετικό και άλλοτε αρνητικό, στην καλλιέργεια της δημιουργικότητας των μαθητών, λίγες έρευνες έχουν διεξαχθεί σχετικά με τη συμβολή τους στην καλλιέργεια της δημιουργικής σκέψης των μαθητών και τις απόψεις τους για το θέμα αυτό. Η θεμελιωμένη γνώση (situated knowledge) των Ελλήνων εκπαιδευτικών πρωτοβάθμιας εκπαίδευσης και η εμπειρί…
Key challenges for Latvian teachers in mainstream schools: a basis for preparing teachers for inclusion
2010
This paper analyses current research in Latvia to identify key issues related to inclusive education, special education and social pedagogy. A review of Latvian literature since 2004 was undertaken to determine what is known about special and inclusive education, how it is reflected in various research papers and how it related to the current situation in schools. Key findings suggest that teachers need to be better informed about the potential of inclusion. They need to be prepared to teach children with diverse educational needs in a changing educational landscape. Teacher education for inclusion is identified as a 21st-century priority in Latvia.

Dificultades de la coeducación en la formación del profesorado
2017
La situación de la implementación del género y la diversidad sexual en las etapas de Educación Infantil y Primaria es heterogénea en el conjunto de España. El presente estudio se centra en analizar la situación de la perspectiva de género en el Máster de Investigación en Didácticas Específicas de la Universitat de València, como parte de la formación especializada que se oferta desde la Facultad de Magisterio para futuros docentes y otros formadores. También trata de hacer una propuesta metodológica para contribuir a la formación especializada en investigación desde la perspectiva de género. Introducing gender perspective and sexual diversity in primary and early school education is heterog…
THEORIZING THE CONCEPT OF TRANSFORMATIVE LEARNING EXPERIENCE IN THE CONTEXT OF TEACHER PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
2019
The concept of learning experience holds its eminent place within the paradigm of constructivism in contemporary educational science. The study process is being designed and construed to foster educative experiences in accordance with the desired learning outcomes. Transformative learning theory and the concept of perspective transformation marks a specific type of learning experience – one that reconstructs the frame of reference of the learner. Such a paradigmatic shift is also considered necessary for large-scale educational reforms to succeed. Transformative learning theory itself doesn’t provide clear-cut solutions for implementation of a certain reform ideology, to the contrary – it q…
Embedding bullying related learning in the curriculum for initial teacher education: a possible approach
2021
Teachers are key players in preventing and combating the phenomenon of bullying in schools. To actively and constructively assume this role, they need bullying training during their initial and continuous teacher education. This study explores opportunities to engage pre-service teachers in learning about school bullying within the curriculum for initial teacher education in Romania. More competencies were identified as necessary for future teachers for being able to manage the problems related to bullying in school. Suggestions for bullying-related learning activities within the curriculum of four psycho-pedagogical disciplines are provided from the perspective of an infusion approach. Thi…
The Dynamics of Perspective in Quantum Physics: An Analysis in the Context of Teacher Education
2021
Debates on the philosophical interpretations of quantum physics have motivated a renewed interest in how secondary and lower undergraduate students interpret quantum phenomena. In an attempt to contribute to this effort, this paper examines the dynamics of perspec tive in quantum physics in the context of teacher education. The goal of the study is to investigate how students (N = 36) from a Master's Degree in Secondary Education Teacher Training in Spain negotiate perspective as they participate in small-group discussions of quantum physics topics. This study focuses on the wave-particle duality, superposition of states, and the calculation of probabilities for two-state systems. The metho…
Research lives of physical education teacher educators
2017
This paper aims to provide insights into the research worlds of an international group of mid- and late-career physical education teacher educators. Specifically, it explores participants’ motives for research engagement and choices, and investigates what challenges and facilitates their research efforts. Two rounds of individual in-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted with 14 physical education teacher educators across 7 countries. Findings point to a distinction between research motives. Embarking on formal theses or specific funded projects was often motivated by practical and contextual drivers, such as job requirements or a wish for promotion, and was associated with feeling…
An inquiry based approach to physics teacher Education: the case of found properties
2010
In this paper we describe some results of an approach to Pre-Service Physics Teacher Education whose general aim is to analyze how Problem-Based activities in pre-service teacher education courses can support the understanding of content, the development of inquiry skills and of pedagogical competences, as well as the merging of these in a form of knowledge appropriate for teaching. The experimentation has been performed with a group of non-Italian Trainee Teachers engaged in one-month mobility activities at University of Palermo, in the framework of the EU Project “Move’in Science”, focused in Physics and/or Mathematics Pre-Service Teacher Education. We briefly discuss a Teaching/Learning …
