Foreign Language Pre-Service Teachers’ Attitudes Towards Integrated Technology
2020
The COVID-19 pandemic worldwide evidenced the need to revise and strengthen the current perspective of the role of technology in non-technology-based classes. The current situation requires the revision of practices and basic knowledge of computer literacy and use. Traditionally, technology in the process of language learning has been considered anecdotical. As a result, many teachers do not have the necessary skills to implement proper technology-supported classes. Being that the case at Universidad de Alcalá (Spain), we looked at the students’ needs in integrating a number of different applications in the classroom in order to provide them with additional technological skills. Twenty-two …
Heterogeneity versus Homogeneity in Schools: A Review of the Educational Value of Classroom Interaction
2020
The degree of homogeneity and heterogeneity among schools affects the comprehensiveness and inclusiveness of the school system and the type and scope of classroom interaction. Since the beginning of the 1980s, interest has gradually increased in the effects of homogeneity and heterogeneity of schools on classroom interactions
Fortellinger om gutters krise, jenters fremgang og skolens utfordringer med sosiale ulikheter
2021
Gutter som skolens tapere er blitt en dominerende fortelling gjennom mange år og gjentas nok en gang gjennom Stoltenbergutvalgets rapport om kjønnsforskjellene i skolen. Fortellingen bygger på en dikotomisk kjønnsforståelse og ikke en forståelse av at kjønn er mangfoldig og konstrueres kontinuerlig i kulturelle, sosiale og språklige sammenhenger. Ved å betrakte gutter som skolens tapere som et dominerende narrativ belyser jeg premissene for en slik fortelling, konsekvensene den har og hvilke fortellinger som usynliggjøres eller stilles i skyggen – fortellinger om en skole som ikke evner å utjevne de sosiale ulikhetene den har et mål om å utjevne.
Revealing colonial power relations in early childhood policy making: An autoethnographic story on selective evidence
2021
The COVID-19 pandemic exposes uncertainty, instability and glaring inequality that requires urgent global policy decisions. Historically, bureaucrats regard uncertainty as the enemy and look for tested solutions (Stevens, 2011). In contrast, Fielding & Moss (2010) acknowledge an uncertain future and encourage shifting policy making towards the search for possibilities instead of replicating singular solutions. Escobar (2020) advocates for pluriversal politics, with many possibilities created through collective decision-making by autonomous interlinked networks. In this paper, I combine autoethnography with policy analysis drawing on my own experience in South African early childhood pol…
STUDENTS’ PERSPECTIVES ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF MUSICAL ACTIVITIES IN PRESCHOOL EDUCATION
2018
Aim. The aim of the study is to find out students’ perspectives on the necessity, readiness and disturbing factors of implementing musical activities in preschool.

 Method. The empirical study involved 168 students (N=168), of which 132 students (N=132) are already working as preschool teachers in parallel with their study at the university.

"Writing to Learn or Learning to Write". A Critical Review of "English as a Foreign Language" (EFL) Teaching Practices in Writing in Saudi Universiti…
2020
Developing proficiency in English writing has always been a challenge for L2 learners in general and Saudi learners in particular. Despite the widespread presence of English departments as a result of the sharp rise of Saudi universities in the previous decade, the numbers of outcomes or achievements in terms of skills are very discouraging. This paper aims to study this issue closely by investigating the most crucial elements that are likely to explain this weakness by reviewing the related empirical and theoretical studies in the Saudi context. This paper also aims to present to researchers a quick reference as to how English writing skills have evolved in Saudi Arabia in the recent past,…
O conceito Cultura Tecnológica e um estudo no meio educacional
2009
Resumo: Neste artigo apresenta-se, inicialmente, um breve estudo acerca das evoluções sociais e da sua relação com a tecnologia. Em seguida, a partir do conceito de cultura, trata-se das variações culturais no âmbito tecnológico, buscando-se analisar a relação entre o homem e a tecnologia como um processo de socialização e de apropriação. Num segundo momento, são apresentados alguns resultados de um estudo de caso que acompanhou a criação, implantação e utilização do portal da Rede Municipal de Ensino de São Paulo. Dentre os objetivos deste estudo destaca-se o interesse por se compreender a percepção do educador acerca desse espaço. Confirmando a hipótese inicial, percebeu-se que a utilizaç…
Un portátil por estudiante como argumento de disputa política en la sociedad digital
2009
La decisión gubernamental de dotar de un ordenador a cada alumno, en el marco del proyecto Escuela 2.0, es el hecho que motiva este trabajo. Con el mismo damos continuidad a nuestra línea de estudio y reflexión sobre las políticas que tutelan la incorporación progresiva de la institución escolar a la sociedad de la información. En esta ocasión centramos el análisis sobre los discursos con los que se justifican tales iniciativas en el contexto de los planes gubernamentales para el estímulo de la economía. La citada dotación debe encajarse además con el resto de planes que sobre el particular promueven distintos ministerios, aparte de los que patrocinan los gobiernos autónomos en su ámbito co…
Revista iberoamericana de educación
2004
Es incuestionable el proceso de inmersión tecnológica que hoy experimenta la institución escolar. Iniciativas públicas y privadas están interesadas en incorporar las tecnologías de la información (TI en lo sucesivo) al sistema escolar. Centrándonos en las primeras, y dentro del marco político de España, describimos brevemente algunos proyectos estatales de apoyo a las ti en las escuelas, tras lo cual nos fijamos en el caso del programa Clic, una aplicación educativa abierta y libre desarrollada en la Comunidad Autónoma de Cataluña, caracterizada por el trabajo colaborativo de miles de docentes de diversas partes del mundo. Bibliografía Busquets, F. (2000): «Clic: un proyecto cooperativo de …
Profesorado : revista de curriculum y formación del profesorado
2014
El presente trabajo se inscribe en el marco de una investigación de ámbito nacional sobre el Programa Escuela 2.0. Centramos la atención en el análisis de la implementación, en la Comunidad Valenciana, del programa Centros Educativos Inteligentes (CEI). Es la alternativa al Escuela 2.0 y la idea central es facilitar el acceso, desde cualquier lugar del centro, a las TIC como recurso de apoyo en el proceso de enseñanza y aprendizaje. En coherencia con el proyecto CEI, tomamos metodológicamente al centro escolar como unidad de análisis en el trabajo de campo. El cuestionario se pasó a los 18 centros implicados y en 4 de ellos realizamos el estudio de casos: dos de educación Infantil/Primaria …
