Il gruppo di lavoro nei servizi educativi

2019

L’essere umano è un animale sociale e la dimensione di gruppo fa parte integrante di ogni società e cultura; in particolare, nei servizi educativi e nelle istituzioni formative riveste una valenza decisiva per la cultura organizzativa, per la progettualità e per i processi di apprendimento e cambiamento. Assumere o non assumere questo dato come significativo ha a che fare con una scelta etica e politica, poiché implica l’adozione di una prospettiva partecipativa e di comunità rispetto ad una prospettiva individualistica e competitiva. Dopo aver definito le specificità di un contesto educativo, anche in una prospettiva organizzativa, l’articolo approfondisce quindi il concetto di “gruppo di …

Investigation of University Students’ Perceptions of Their Educators as Role Models and Designers of Digitalized Curricula

2020

Higher education graduates need 21st-century skills, both learning skills and competences for working with technology. However, research indicates an insufficient integration of ICTs into teaching and learning. In this paper, we examine students’ perception of various technology-based issues: (a) ICT integration within a Slovenian university’s learning environment, (b) teachers as role models for ICT use, and (c) the processes of collaboration and creativity as integrative parts featured in learning technologies. We studied beliefs about the contribution of ICT use to teaching and learning as the primary factors influencing ICT integration. A one-way ANOVA revealed that students in teacher …

Awareness and knowledge of cyberethics : a study of pre-service teachers in Malta, Norway, and Spain

2021

This paper explores the awareness and knowledge of cyberethics held by pre-service teachers across three European countries. The study was conducted via an online survey and yielded 1,131 responses from pre-service teachers in Malta, Norway, and Spain. The facets of cyberethics included in this study focused on behaving responsibly online, safeguarding privacy, respecting copyright, seeking consent of friends before posting images or videos on social media platforms, and considering their professional identity as future teachers when posting online. The findings indicate that pre-service teachers reported relatively similar levels of competence in applying copyright and respecting privacy r…

The challenge for school-based teacher educators : establishing teaching and supervision goals

2019

School-based teacher educators (SBTEs) should be able to set goals in two roles – as a teacher and as a supervisor of student teachers. The purpose of the study was to investigate school-based teacher educators’ teaching and supervising goals and to identify how teachers in the role of supervisors perceived university expectations. Thematic analysis indicated that teachers have difficulty establishing goals for themselves as teachers and supervisors. Their teaching goals proceeded from curricula and focused on their pupils’ cognitive development, whilst their perceptions about supporting pupils’ social development were vague. Teachers were unaware of what exactly universities expected of th…

Professional Agency, Identity, and Emotions While Leaving One’s Work Organization

2015

This study investigated the enactment of professional agency in an emotionally troubled work context emerging from a conflicted relationship between the professional and the work organization. Narrative interviews with Finnish educators were utilized. The findings indicate that the enactment of agency was in part framed by the educators’ rational interpretations of the relationship between themselves and their employer, plus their work history and future prospects. However, it was simultaneously embedded with contradictory emotions, such as a sense of being undervalued, fear, and a sense of empowerment. Within this framework, multifaceted professional agency was enacted particularly via lea…

Opettajat aikuisten maahanmuuttajien perustaitoja kehittämässä

2021

Artikkelissa tarkastellaan, miten aikuisten maahanmuuttajaopiskelijoiden opettajat ymmärtävät perustaidot ja opiskelutaidot sekä miten he pedagogisoivat perustaitojen opetusta arvioinnin avulla. Perustaitoja ovat luku- ja kirjoitustaidot, numeeriset taidot ja ongelmanratkaisutaidot teknologisesti kehittyneissä ympäristöissä. Aineisto kerättiin opettajien täydennyskoulutuksessa ja se koostuu opettajien laatimista arviointi- ja oppimistehtävistä sekä reflektoinneista. Aineisto analysoitiin teoriaohjaavalla sisällönanalyysilla. Tulosten mukaan täydennyskoulutukseen osallistuneet opettajat näkivät perustaidot usein toisistaan erillisinä eivätkä välttämättä huomioineet aikuisten maahanmuuttajaop…

Conceptions of teachership in the professional identity construction of adult educator graduates

2019

The aim of this study was to investigate the conceptions of teachership among graduates (n = 126) from a Finnish higher education study programme called Pedagogical Studies for Adult Educators. The conceptions of teachership comprise notions of teaching and of oneself as a teacher. Accordingly, the conceptions of teachership are viewed as one element in the process of constructing teacher identity. Currently, we have little knowledge about the professional identity construction of adult educators, even though there is a growing need for adult pedagogics in the changing professional life. Based on a qualitative thematic analysis of open-ended questionnaire data, three main conceptual categor…
