Uso de la metodología e-learning en matemáticas y estadística en la Facultat d’Economia de la Universitat de València: una herramienta más en el proc…
2020
[ES] El recorte de horas presenciales al que han sido sometidas las asignaturas cuantitativas en algunas facultades impide, en muchos casos, dedicar un tiempo suficiente a la revisión de los conocimientos básicos necesarios para seguir con fluidez algunas materias. Este es el caso de la Facultat d’Economia de València. El MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) “Matemáticas y Estadística, entiéndelas, úsalas” tiene como objetivo que los estudiantes de nuevo acceso a la universidad sedimenten los conocimientos básicos adquiridos durante sus estudios preuniversitarios en materias cuantitativas, específicamente, matemáticas y estadística, e intentar paliar alguna laguna, si la hubiera. Dichos conoci…
Visões dos agentes envolvidos na concepção, divulgação e utilização de materiais educativos digitais nos portais educativos espanhóis
2019
Este artículo recoge resultados de un estudio más amplio dedicado al análisis de las visiones de los agentes y actores implicados en el diseño, difusión y utilización de los materiales digitales educativos presentes en portales educativos españoles que ofertan servicios y recursos educativos. Forma parte, a su vez, de un proyecto de I+D+i, denominado “Escuela Digital”, dedicado al análisis de la producción y uso de contenidos didácticos digitales en los centros escolares1. El propósito principal del artículo es presentar los resultados de las visiones del profesorado, el alumnado y las familias sobre los materiales digitales presentes en los portales institucionales de Galicia y Valencia, o…
Collaborative Teaching in the Italian "Liceo Matematico": A Case Study of Co-Planning and Co-Teaching
2020
This contribution is centred on a case study of collaborative teaching, carried out among Upper Secondary School Math teachers. Here we present the context, the forms of the implemented collaboration and the effects that derived from the collaborative teaching. The used investigation tool was the semi-structured interview aimed to induce teachers to gradually reflect on their self and their teaching modus operandi. From the qualitative analysis emerged that collaborative teaching integrated different ways of teaching; it has been a stimulus for a etching “revision” and the possibility to improve the didactic-educational practice. For all teachers this way to define the teaching activities w…
Analysing tensions faced by pre-service mathematics teachers engaging in digital fabrication.
2022
This article analyses tensions pre-service teachers faced during the last workshop of participation in a series of professional development workshops on digital fabrication for creating manipulatives for mathematics education. Using the concept of community of practice and the notion of tension as a theoretical framework and a qualitative research design including video recording with 5 pre-service teachers, we identified three tension categories: technological, pedagogical, and workshop design. The results indicate that tensions are often caused by conflictual decisions between the workshop designers’ and students’ objectives as well as difficulties in digital fabrication and its applicati…
How are proof and proving conceptualized in mathematics curriculum documents in the USA and Japan?
2022
Only a few international comparative studies have reported on proof and proving in curriculum documents. This report proposes a method of comparing the meaning of proof-related words in two specific countries’ curriculum documents (the USA and Japan) through quantitative and interpretative analyses. Using a text mining approach to explore text data, we found that the co-occurrence network of the words “proof” and “prove” in curriculum documents from the two countries is quite different. In the USA, the word “proof” is concerned with justification and “prove” is used as a general process, while in Japan “proof” is more related to discovery and “prove” is more associated with specific theorem…
History teaching in Finnish general upper secondary schools: Objectives and practices
2019
In Finland, the trend towards a new kind of history teaching emphasizing the understanding of historical knowledge and historical thinking skills began in the mid-1990s, when history teaching objectives were defined much more broadly in the curriculum than previously. In this article, we examine how, in over twenty years since the changes in curriculum objectives were made, general upper secondary school teachers have come to value the curriculum objectives of history teaching and how these have impacted on their teaching. The data for this article were collected by a semi-structured survey in 2016. Using counts, percentages, means, standard deviations and medians, a descriptive exploration…
Evaluating a Technology-Based Assessment (TBA) to Measure Teachers’ Action-Related and Reflective Skills
2019
Teaching performance can be assessed validly only if the assessment involves an appropriate, authentic representation of real-life teaching practices. Different skills interact in coordinating teac...
Medical English textbooks for Italian university students. Do they meet the Miur educational instructions about scientific English learning? Three wo…
2011
The ever increasing diffusion of English as the language of communication and scientific literature worldwide has made EMP (English for Medical Purposes) learning an integral part of medical students’ syllabuses. In medical English courses, teachers generally make use of textbooks which through a variety of activities usually involve all linguistic skills and provide students with the necessary means to communicate effectively and properly in their professional field. If we agree that a basic knowledge of general English should be assumed when undertaking any EMP course, then it follows that this specialist learning requires familiarity with a) specialised lexis and b) the morphosyntactic s…
Teaching Methods in a Health and Social Informatics Master Program
2019
Education is an important contribution to the digital transformation in society. In health care services, there is a need to combine knowledge in health science and information-and communication technologies. At the University of Agder in Norway, there is a Master's Program in Health and Social Informatics targeting students with health educational background. This paper shares the experiences on methods for teaching basic information-and communication technology to this student group. A quantitative study was made to evaluate the pedagogical methods and the organization of a technical master course with respondents from the last two classes. The experiences on the course execution and the …
Student teachers' indirect complaining in learning groups
2011
This article focuses on indirect complaining in teacher education. The phenomenon of complaining in educational situations has not been examined as a process before. In this study complaining was examined in naturally occurring learning group sessions, which were videotaped and analysed through Conversation Analysis (CA). The purpose of this study is to describe the beginning of complaints and find ways to handle situations including complaining. The data comprise 26 pedagogically focused discussions that included indirect complaining. These were categorized into four classes: discussions which produced accounts, advice‐giving discussions, discussions expressing different viewpoints, and di…
