Supporting and constraining factors in the development of university teaching experienced by teachers
2017
Higher education calls for reform, but deeper knowledge about the prerequisites for teaching development and pedagogical change is missing. In this study, 51 university teachers’ experiences of supportive or constraining factors in teaching development were investigated in the context of Finland’s multidisciplinary network. The findings reveal that the supportive factors in teaching development arise from the nature of the development itself, i.e. from the teachers’ opportunities to act as active agents in an authentic development process. Furthermore, the circumstances of the development also play essential roles (both constraining and supportive) in teaching development. Such support, at …
DIDATTICA E CONCORSI INTERNAZIONALI: OBIETTIVI, METODI ED ESPERIENZE
2018
La memoria presenta nell’ambito di un più ampio panorama europeo sulla questione delle metodologie per la didattica universitaria nelle scuole di Ingegneria ed Architettura, gli esiti di una collaborazione avviata nel 2005 tra il Politecnico di Milano – Polo Regionale di Lecco e l’Università degli Studi di Palermo che ha avuto come oggetto la partecipazione di docenti e studenti provenienti da Atenei Europei ed Asiatici ad un Concorso Internazionale di Progettazione Sostenibile. Le tematiche affrontate durante questo decennio di collaborazione sono state l’occasione per fornire un contributo al dibattito, attualmente in corso, nell’ambito dell’Ingegneria Edile-Architettura che, proprio in q…
Utilisation du numérique par les enseignants à l’université : description et analyse des facteurs explicatifs
2019
Dans cet article, nous nous intéressons à la nature des technologies de l’information et de la communication (TIC) mobilisées par les enseignants universitaires pour enseigner et aux facteurs explicatifs de cette utilisation. Nous procédons d’abord à un éclairage théorique notamment concernant les concepts de « TIC » et d’« utilisation ». Puis, à l’appui des données recueillies en mai 2016 auprès de 248 enseignants d’une université française, nous montrons que les TIC mobilisées par les enseignants à l’intérieur, mais aussi en dehors des heures de cours, sont plutôt d’ordre générique en opposition aux technologies plus sophistiquées. Les enseignants utilisent par ailleurs davantage les TIC …
Erozja uniwersyteckiego nomosu jako czynnik zmiany porządku normatywnego
2018
University education is stereotypically associated with the internalization of a set of cultural norms – rules of behavior, folkways, mores, etc. All these norms and rules constitute the university nomos that erodes deeply in recent times, especially in the social sciences fields of study. This erosion consists of phenomena and processes of anomic character. Their reasons lie in a broader social, cultural and political context in which the contemporary university works. And these anomic phenomena and processes impact secondarily on different spheres of social life – because of mass access to the studies and mass supply of graduates – in effect increasing anomie in society as a whole. In the…
Teaching particle physics to high school teachers
2017
In Norway, particle physics is part of the high school curriculum in physics which introduces the need for good university teaching in particle physics without the usual technical approach. Given how much conflicting information and inaccurate explanations there are on the subject; how should we teach this to people without much knowledge in mathematics? By carefully explaining the fundamental consepts of the theory it is fully possible to achieve an appreciation of particle physics without much mathematics. Through the use of analogies, such as an analogy between the freedom in choosing timezone and the freedom in choosing phase angle, one can introduce gauge theory and hence show the unde…
