Conocimiento pedagógico del contenido para la enseñanza del tema mitosis: un estudio de casos con docentes universitarios de Argentina
2015
The pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) for teaching mitosis at university isan unexplored field. We report the characterization of university teachers’ PCK on mitosisemploying the Content Representation questionnaire (CoRe) and Professional and Pedagogicalexperience Repertoire (PaP-eR). The differences found in the teachers’ CDC are consistent withthe characteristics of this construct: it is specific to a topic, a teacher and a context. The PCKdevelopment of university teachers in the context of teaching centered on the transmissionof knowledge emerges as a possible strategy to reorient the teaching of mitosis to approachesbased on the construction of scaffoldings that facilitate student l…
The benefits of inclusive education: new challenges for university teachers
2017
Inclusive education is a child’s right, not a privilege. The amount of current attention given to children and to childhood is unprecedented. In a world affected by financial crises, attitudes about children’s needs are very important. Recent years have seen innovations in the focus of research, as political moves that challenge the ways different children have been excluded and silenced. Inclusive education is a real and urgent need for all educational systems around the world. Inside our university, the Teachers Training Department needs to take serious measures to create a professional environment for all the students involved in the initial training for becoming teachers at all levels. …
Une formation pédagogique peut-elle modifier les conceptions de jeunes enseignants universitaires sur l’apprentissage et l’enseignement ?
2012
Nous analysons l’évolution des conceptions de l’apprentissage et de l’enseignement de jeunes enseignants universitaires à l’issue d’une formation en pédagogie universitaire, grâce à des informations de formations collectées lors de sessions de formation de l’Université de Bourgogne. Nous montrons que les conceptions à l’entrée et à la sortie de formation apparaissent variées et que celles-ci sont liées aux disciplines, à l’expérience et au projet professionnel. Les participants considèrent avoir changé de conceptions au terme de la formation. Ceux qui ont des visions nuancées et centrées d’emblée sur l’apprenant sont toutefois davantage influencés par la formation pédagogique.
Factors Constraining Teachers’ Wellbeing and Agency in a Finnish University : Lessons from the COVID-19 Pandemic
2022
The COVID-19 pandemic forced teachers to undergo a sudden shift toward technology-enhanced teaching and learning, challenging their capacities for change in many ways. This study explores those factors constraining teachers’ wellbeing and agency that influenced their capacities as teachers in a Finnish university during the first year of the pandemic. Two sets of data were collected, with an online survey in the spring (n = 297) and autumn (n = 246) of 2020. At both times, challenges with workload, time management, and interactions with colleagues were found to be the most constraining factors. Difficulties with work–life balance and home office facilities seemed more of an issue in the spr…

Patterns of university teachers’ approaches to teaching, professional development and perceived departmental cultures
2019
Many studies have been conducted about academics’ approaches to teaching, professional development and perceived departmental culture, but their interconnectedness has been considered to a lesser extent. The research presented here examined these patterns comparatively by disciplinary fields and years of teaching experience. Three inventories were filled in by 1141 academics from one Finnish and two Hungarian universities. Based on a hierarchical cluster analysis, four patterns emerged: (1) Experimenters with diverse teaching approaches; (2) Experimenters perceiving their department’s culture as most supportive and collaborative; (3) Individualistic knowledge-focused teachers; and (4) Stude…
