Is School a Better Environment Than Home for Digital Game-Based Learning? The Case of GraphoGame
2015
This study investigated how the use of an online reading game differs in home and school environments. First and second graders (N = 194) participated in an 8-week training during which they used the reading program GraphoGame either at home or at school under the supervision of parents or teachers. Child participants were recommended by parents and teachers recruited from the list of GraphoGame users, and adults decided whether the training took place at home or at school. We measured the frequency and duration of playing, children’s engagement, development of reading skill and reading interest, and adult supportive involvement. The results revealed that children who played GraphoGame at s…
General and special education teachers’ knowledge about reading comprehension processes and instructional practices
2022
AbstractThe study investigated teachers’ knowledge of reading comprehension processes and reading comprehension instruction. The study was carried out among teachers (N = 65) in Estonia. The content analysis classified qualitative data from semi-structured interviews as quantitative data. The results showed that teachers’ content knowledge about reading comprehension processes and pedagogical knowledge of reading comprehension instruction were considerably variable yet mostly limited. Special education teachers (n = 37) mentioned a wider range of reading strategies than classroom teachers (n = 28). When describing how to support struggling readers, significant differences emerged between th…
Pre-service and in-service teachers' experiences of inquiry-based primary science teaching : A collaborative team teaching model
2019
This research clarifies how a collaborative team teaching model (CTTM) can support both pre-service and in-service teachers’ professional development in using inquiry-based science teaching in primary schools. The data were collected via a questionnaire-based survey approach after inquiry projects implementation at public schools in four Finnish cities. In total, 98 pre-service teachers and 51 inservice class teachers were involved in the research. According to their experiences collaborative team teaching was seen as an adequate teaching approach in primary school science lessons. Both in-service and pre-service teachers experienced inquirybased science teaching enthusiastically and receiv…
Learning research in a laboratory classroom : a reflection on complementarity and commensurability among multiple analytical accounts
2022
With the myriad theories generated through research over the years, a continuing challenge for researchers is to navigate the multitude of theories in order to communicate their research, integrate empirical results, and make progress as a field by building upon empirical research. The Social Unit of Learning project was purposefully designed so that researchers from multiple disciplines with different theoretical perspectives could work together to examine the complexity of the mathematics classroom. In this paper, we reflect on the multiple analytical accounts generated from the project, drawing from the notions of complementarity and commensurability. Two parallel analyses, applying the …
Diferenciācijas iespējas matemātikas mācību procesā
2016
Šī bakalaura darba mērķis ir izpētīt un apzināt diferenciācijas iespējas matemātikas mācību procesā un izstrādāt metodiskus materiālus diferenciācijas īstenošanai matemātikas mācību stundās. Darbu veido 5 nodaļas. Pirmajā nodaļā apskatīts diferenciācijas jēdziens un tā saistība ar mācību darbu. Otrajā nodaļā uzmanība vērsta uz mācību procesa diferenciāciju, tās pazīmēm un priekšnoteikumiem diferenciācijas īstenošanā. Darba trešajā nodaļā apkopotas teorētiskajā materiālā atrodamās metodes mācību procesa diferencēšanai matemātikā. Ceturtajā nodaļā analizēti skolēnu un skolotāju anketēšanā iegūtie dati. Piektajā nodaļā apkopoti un aprakstīti autores izstrādāti mācību stundu fragmenti un sniegt…
The Use of Question Modification Strategies to Differentiate Instruction in Eritrean Mathematics and Science Classrooms
2023
This qualitative study aimed at examining the question modification strategies Eritrean elementary and middle school teachers used to differentiate their instruction and meet the diversity in the classroom as well as the functions these strategies served in classroom interactions. The research data consisted of videotaped recordings (N = 11 videotaped lessons) of classroom interactions in eight mathematics and science classrooms, which were analysed through interaction analysis. The findings showed that Eritrean teachers utilised the following five question modification strategies either independently or in combination: repetition; rephrasing; clarification; decomposition; and code-switchin…
Influencia de los métodos de enseñanza en el aprendizaje y desarrollo de la lectura
2019
Esta comunicación se encuentra disponible en la siguiente URL: http://www.infad.eu/RevistaINFAD/OJS/index.php/IJODAEP/article/view/1467/1275 Este número está dedicado a la "Psicología de la Educación y Saberes Originarios". En el aprendizaje de la lectura están implicadas habilidades como la conciencia fonológica, la conciencia alfabética o la velocidad de nombramiento. Los distintos métodos de enseñanza influyen de modo diferencial en su adquisición. Este estudio analiza 1) el efecto diferencial de los métodos analíticos y fonológico-sintéticos en la adquisición de estas habilidades básicas, 2) si las diferencias encontradas en función del método siguen el mismo patrón en los 4 primeros cu…
The role of achievement beliefs and behaviours in spontaneous reading acquisition
2006
Abstract This study examined the role of motivational or attitudinal factors, such as achievement beliefs and behaviours, in learning to read before receiving formal instruction. A total of 200 Finnish children were examined at ages 5 and 6½. Half of them ( n = 107) had a familial risk for dyslexia. The results showed that those children who were verbally skilful at age 5 showed a higher level of task-focused behaviour at age 6½. This task-focused behaviour then contributed to spontaneous reading acquisition. The impact of previous verbal skills on spontaneous reading acquisition was mediated in part by achievement behaviour.
Enseñando música en inglés: un modelo de enseñanza basada en contenidos en educación secundaria obligatoria
2018
Over the past few years, there has been a growing interest in the teaching and learning of several languages in an attempt to generate multilingual education opportunities, particularly in Europe. In response to the demands of our globalized society, Content-Based Instruction (CBI), which has also been referred to as “immersion and Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) programs,” emerged as a teaching approach that combines the learning of curricular contents and the communicative competence in the target language. This study was carried out at a public high school set in a Spanish bilingual community, where music is taught through a CLIL approach in English class. The purpose of …
