Preparing students to participate to the didactic activities of university teacher
2016
«Student Voice» è un movimento pedagogico nato negli anni Novanta nei Paesi di lingua inglese (Stati Uniti, Canada, Inghilterra e Australia): esso sostiene la partecipazione attiva e responsabile degli studenti che frequentano la scuola e l’università nella didattica dei docenti, nella ricerca universitaria e nelle politiche educative e culturali che li riguardano. Nella ricerca sperimentale qui presentata, si è voluta prestare attenzione alla partecipazione degli studenti universitari (n. 33) alle attività didattiche di un docente di pedagogia sperimentale. Si è scelto di adottare due metodi d’intervento: la scrittura espressiva, come metodo di analisi del futuro prefigurato nelle aspettat…
Student evaluation of clickers in a dental pathology course
2015
BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the degree of satisfaction of students and teachers, and to determine whether the students notice improvements in learning and in the learning environment as a result of the use of clicker. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Descriptive study. Fifty-one students and 8 teachers participated in the use of clicker technology in 8 preclinical seminars in dental pathology. Students and teachers filled a three-domain questionnaire at the end of the preclinical course. We used the Mann-Whitney U-test to compare the results between the two groups. RESULTS: The domain "perception and expectation" showed the use of clickers to be simple and convenient for 80% …
Filmu fragmenti angļu valodas gramatikas induktīvai apguvei 12. klasē
2016
Skolēnu vajadzības un vēlmes attiecībā uz angļu valodas mācīšanos laika gaitā ir mainījušās, tādēļ, lai nodrošinātu skolēnu mācīšanās vajadzību un vēlmju ievērošanu, skolotājiem ir jābūt informētiem par jaunākajām mācību metodēm un pieejām angļu valodas mācīšanai. Mūsdienās skolēniem nesagādā grūtības komunikācija angļu valodā un viņi ir prasmīgi valodas lietotāji, pateicoties interneta videi, kurā skolēni pavada daļu brīvā laika. Skolotāju loma ir nodrošināt skolēnus ar pareizas valodas un gramatikas lietošanas priekšnosacījumiem, piedāvājot motivējošas un interesantas valodas mācīšanās metodes un instrumentus. Ņemot vērā iepriekšminēto, diplomdarba autore veica pētījumu, lai noskaidrotu k…
Mācību metožu izvēle matemātikā 10. klasei, balstoties H.Gārdnera daudzveidīgo inteliģenču teorijā
2014
Bakalaura darba tēma ir „Mācību metožu izvēle matemātikā 10. klasei, balstoties H. Gārdnera daudzveidīgo inteliģenču teorijā”. Teorētiskajā daļā apkopotas mācību metodes atbilstoši 7 inteliģencēm, bet pētnieciskajā daļā tās ir iekļautas mācību procesā ar mērķi pārbaudīt to labvēlīgo ietekmi uz mācību sasniegumu uzlabošanos. Darbs sastāv no 3 nodaļām – teorētiskā apskata, metodoloģijas un pētījuma daļas. Tajā iekļautas 9 tabulas, 12 attēli, 17 literatūras avoti.
The Teacher's Perspective in Older Education: The Experience of Teaching in a University for Older People in Spain
2010
The aim of this study was to explore university lecturers' descriptions of their teaching experience with older students. Twelve teachers of the Nau Gran (a university program for older people [UPOP] in Valencia, Spain) were interviewed. We analyzed their responses to questions about their experience of teaching older adults, the rewarding aspects of that experience and the teaching strategies they used. Teachers described their experience as extremely positive and rewarding, and often contrasted the active, interested, and grateful older students with the relatively passive regular younger students. The teachers also mentioned how they adapted their teaching to suit a more motivated and pa…
Meeting the Discipline-Culture Framework of Physics Knowledge: A Teaching Experience in Italian Secondary School
2014
The paper deals with physics teaching/learning in high school. An investigation in three upper secondary school classes in Italy explored the reactions of students to a structuring lecture on optics within the discipline-culture (DC) framework that organises physics knowledge around four interrelated fundamental theories of light. The lecture presented optics as an unfolding conceptual discourse of physicists regarding the nature of light. Along with the knowledge constructed in a school course of a scientific lyceum, the students provided epistemological comments, displaying their perception of physics knowledge presented in the classroom. Students’ views and knowledge were investigated by…
Resultados de un programa de educación postural, con una intervención gamificada vs intervención tradicional
2021
[Resumen] La metodología de enseñanza adoptada por el profesorado puede influir en los niveles de participación y aprendizaje del alumnado. El objetivo principal de este estudio fue comparar el efecto de dos programas de intervención de educación postural en función de la metodología utilizada. Un total de 36 estudiantes (19 niñas y 17 niños) de 1º de Educación Secundaria Obligatoria participaron en el estudio. En el primer programa de intervención se aplicó una metodología gamificada, mientras que en el segundo se empleó una metodología tradicional. Ambos programas de intervención se llevaron a cabo a lo largo de 6 sesiones. Se analizaron los contenidos teóricos a través de dos cuestionari…
'School adopts an experiment': the magnetic levitation of superconductors
2010
The event 'School adopts an experiment' is an event targeted at high schools and secondary schools. It is based on a tight and direct collaboration between researchers and school students and teachers. Several schools were involved in the event by 'adopting' an experiment in physics research laboratories. Groups of selected students were first trained by university researchers, then they demonstrated the experiments to other students and teachers during the event. Students who adopted an experiment acquired knowledge of the subjects connected with the experiment in a most impressive way compared with the usual didactics at school. Further positive points were: (i) to establish a close and d…
'School adopts an experiment': the photoluminescence in extra-virgin olive oil and in tonic water
2011
We report a laboratory activity, carried out along with high- and secondary-school students, that can be done to increase the interest of the young in scientific studies. Groups of selected students ‘adopted’ experiments at physics research laboratories, under the guidance of university researchers. Subsequently, the students demonstrated the experiments to the public at large during the annual science festival organized in Palermo by the association PalermoScienza, in collaboration with the University of Palermo. Experiments on the magnetic levitation of superconductors and on the photoluminescence of several substances were proposed. We discuss the experiment on photoluminescence as a cas…
An inquiry-based approach to Maxwell distribution: a case study with engineering students
2013
The concept of distribution is a fundamental component of statistical thinking. This paper describes a teaching approach for it that uses a specific activity related to the field of statistical mechanics. The concept of the velocity distribution of a particle system is dealt with using an inquiry-based approach involving an experimental examination of Maxwell’s distribution. Some outcomes of a teaching experiment held at the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Palermo, Italy are described.
