Hospital pedagogy. An unfinished business in the university training of education professionals

2019

La pedagogía hospitalaria se desarrolla donde hay alumnado enfermo, velando por el derecho a la educación de los niños y las niñas. Ello implica que la formación en pedagogía hospitalaria no debe estar dirigida únicamente a los docentes hospitalarios, ya que cualquier docente puede, a lo largo de su carrera profesional, atender en sus aulas a niños/as que enfermen. Este artículo tiene como objetivo reflexionar sobre la necesidad de dicha formación, justificándola a partir de una investigación que ha supuesto el análisis e interpretación de diferentes datos, documentos legislativos y planes de estudio.

Teacher competencies in game-based pedagogy

2018

This study examines what kind of competencies teachers need in using game-based pedagogy (GBP). In our conceptual framework, GBP entails four approaches: using educational games or entertainment games, learning by making games, and using gamification in learning. Our data, consisting of teachers’ documentation, thematic interviews and questionnaires, were analysed using qualitative content analysis. Four main competence areas were identified: pedagogical, technological, collaborative and creative. The results are applicable for developing teacher education and in-service training, as teacher competencies in game-based learning will be more integral to teachers’ professional knowledge and sk…

Qualitative analysis of teachers' written self-reflections after implementation of a social-emotional learning program in Latvia

2016

The aim of the present study was to analyze teachers' written self-reflections after implementation of a social-emotional learning program, which was recently developed specifically for the sociocultural context of Latvia. The goal of the analysis was to examine how teachers reflect upon their own strengths and weaknesses in implementing the program. Participants were 630 classroom teachers (614 female and 16 male) aged 22 to 75 years (M = 45.04, SD = 9.95). Thematic analysis of the teachers' written self-reflections led to five thematic categories: (a) evaluation of pupils' performance, (b) teacher's professional competencies, (c) evaluation of the program, (d) relationship aspects, and (e…

Unpacking the Black Box of Wilderness Therapy

2016

Despite considerable progress within wilderness and adventure therapy research over the last decade, researchers are still unable to precisely answer why, how, and for whom this treatment modality works. There is also a need for more knowledge regarding the circumstances under which the treatment does not appear to be effective. In this realist synthesis, we attempt to unpack this “black box” of wilderness therapy more specifically, defined as a specialized approach to mental health treatment for adolescents. Through a focused review of the primary qualitative wilderness therapy studies, empirical findings are used to test and refine a key program theory. The synthesis results in a propose…

The results are based on qualitative analysis of a survey and interview data collected in the evaluation. The results showed that Finnish universities are launching the university-wide graduate school model. Each university i…
