The answers given by the students were studied using cluster analysis methods. The results of the analysis of ans…
La valoración del Practicum en la formación inicial: un estudio de casos internacional en el área de Geografía e Historia
2020
El acceso a la función docente es asunto regulado por las instituciones administrativas, pero depende en gran medida de las competencias, actitudes y expectativas personales. Los estudios comparativos que mostramos revelan que las representaciones sociales que determinan un sentido práctico del saber escolar inciden en las opiniones de los actuales profesores de Secundaria y en los que aspiran a serlo. Este fenómeno subjetivo, que incide en las competencias profesionales, se interpreta cualitativamente con una metodología de casos, con la comparación de estos a partir de las encuestas y memorias del Practicum en tres universidades de Brasil, Colombia y España. El análisis sobre objetivos y …

Finnish Pre-Service Teachers’ Perceptions of Perceived Competence in Early Childhood Physical Education

Early childhood education and care (ECEC) teachers have a central role in supporting young children’s physical activity (PA) and overall development in the early years. However, the value of early childhood education teacher training (ECETT) programmes is not widely understood. This study aimed to investigate pre-service teachers’ perceptions of perceived competence when (1) supporting a child’s PA, (2) teaching PE, and (3) observing and assessing a child’s motor skills and PA. These self-evaluations were compared with a range of individual, educational, and behavioural characteristics. Final-year Bachelor degree pre-service teachers (n = 274

Associations between observed patterns of classroom interactions and teacher wellbeing in lower secondary school
2019
Classroom observations and teacher self-reports were used to examine the relationships between patterns of teacherestudent interactions and the wellbeing of Norwegian lower secondary school teachers. Latent profile analysis identified four subgroups. Teacherestudent interactions and the teachers' wellbeing were inter-related in that teachers who were observed to be high in all the interaction domains (Emotional Support, Classroom Organization, and Instructional Support) perceived themselves as having high job satisfaction. The results showed that improving teachers’ wellbeing has the potential to improve teacherestudent interactions and vice versa. The study also discusses the use of classr…
Level of acceptance of epistemically unwarranted beliefs in pre-service primary school teachers: influence of cognitive style, academic level and gen…
2022
One of the main objectives of scientific literacy is the development of rational skills and critical thinking in citizens. This is a central goal for teachers. However, beliefs that lack rational foundation and supporting evidence, named “epistemically unwarranted beliefs” (EUB), spread rapidly among the population. If teachers had some of these EUB, their work could be compromised. The aim of this research was to determine the level of acceptance of different EUB in Spanish pre-service primary school teachers and to analyze the influence of their cognitive style, gender, and academic level. Two hundred and fifty undergraduate students of Bachelor’s Degree in Primary Education participated …
