Design perspectives on technology, language teaching and language teacher education
2012
Despite the national strategies and major efforts to promote pedagogical use of ICTs in education, training programs for in-service teachers have often failed to develop sustainable pedagogical practice. For sustainable development, teachers need to be offered opportunities to explore the role of technology in relation to their concept of language and learning, and reforms should be designed in negotiation with teachers and students. In teacher education, aspiring teachers are being informed of the latest research results, but bringing the theory down to practice is a major task that calls for development work soundly based on research. In this paper we suggest that design-based research (D…
The moral journey of learning a pedagogy: a qualitative exploration of student–teachers’ formal and informal writing of dialogic pedagogy
2015
Students of education encounter a range of pedagogies yet how future teachers’ appropriate moral principles are little understood. We conducted an investigation into this process with 10 international students of education attending an intensive course on ‘dialogic pedagogy’ in a university in Finland. The data comprising student learning journals and essays were coded for the level of questioning, acceptance and irreverence. In the findings, reverential acceptance was more frequent than questioning and irreverence; however, our qualitative analysis also found a large number of micro-transitions between questioning, acceptance and irreverence suggesting a dynamic interplay. Recognising this…
Didactical Reconstructions in Knowledge Organization and Consolidation in Physics Teacher Education
2020
Physics teachers have an essential role in forming the attitudes and conceptions of future citizens towards science and technology, as well as in educating the future generations of scientists. Therefore, the physics teacher education must guarantee the best available education to pre-service physics teachers; sound knowledge of physics should be combined with a good understanding of the didactical and pedagogical aspects of teaching and learning. The situation is often that after university physics courses, the pre-service physics teachers’ knowledge is still quite fragmented and incoherent. They also often lack the concept formation perspective to physics knowledge. I discuss here a resea…
DEVELOPMENT OF A BLENDED COURSE FOR ONLINE TEACHING: PROCESS AND OUTCOMES
2019
In this study, we outline the different steps and strategies followed to develop an online formation program aimed to higher education teachers. The aim of this program is to provide with teaching competencies to face the challenges of the next decade’s classroom, with a special focus on the role of digital technology in learning environments, through a combination of a self-managed course with a guided on-site training with real cases. A multicultural, multidisciplinary team conceives this blended learning format, which applies a storytelling approach for content generation and communication. A detailed description of the different factors and stages followed to undertake the project is pr…
Innovating Initial Teacher Education: faculty members’ engagement in eTwinning
2023
The personal characteristics of teachers can be catalysts for their own and others’ learning, as much as their knowledge and competences. It explains why «the first and foremost resources teachers use are themselves» (Caena, 2014, p. 2). The selection, preparation and guidance of teachers throughout initial teacher education and the following stages of their careers are therefore crucial. This study involved faculty members teaching in Primary Education Degree Course at University of Palermo during the academic year 2021- 2022 and it aims at introducing and promoting eTwinning networking platform in higher education. It also aims at increasing the involvement of university teachers, PhD stu…
Empowering future teachers’ intercultural awareness with eTwinning
2022
This paper aims at examining the impact of eTwinning experience on empowering future teachers’ intercultural awareness within two different international eTwinning projects. The first project “What kind of World do we want?” has been given start in October 2021 and apart from University of Palermo it involves two different universities from Turkey. The second project “Qualified teacher of the future” has had its start in November with German, French and Turkish partner universities. The very first results underlines the importance of equipping students with twenty-first century skills and the important role eTwinning plays in this, as well as indicating main challenges which need to be addr…
Enhancing innovative pedagogical practices in Initial Teacher Education: eTwinning
2021
Non c'è dubbio che gli insegnanti di domani abbiano bisogno di una serie di competenze e caratteristiche per essere in grado di svolgere la loro professione in modo accurato. Gli ambienti di apprendimento online che si basano sull’uso delle tecnologie dell'informazione e della comunicazione (TIC) sono essenziali per promuovere l’acquisizione delle abilità del 21° secolo nei futuri insegnanti. All’interno degli ambienti di apprendimento on line, eTwinning, la piattaforma di networking per le scuole in Europa finanziata dalla Commissione europea può rappresentare un buon esempio di uso integrato delle TIC in campo educativo. Il contributo si propone di esaminare l'impatto dell'esperienza eTwi…
‘Haz lo que puedas’. Un estudio de caso sobre diversidad funcional y Educación Física
2019
Resumen basado en el de la publicación Título, resumen y palabras clave disponibles en español y en inglés Las experiencias de las personas con diversidad funcional en Educación Física (EF) suelen ser poco satisfactorias. Por ello, se pretende estudiar las experiencias de Félix, un hombre con miopatía congénita y usuario de silla de ruedas. Félix fue escogido para el estudio a propósito, debido a su historial educativo vinculado a las ciencias del deporte y la enseñanza de la EF. Se llevaron a cabo cuatro entrevistas en profundidad. En estas, se repasaron las etapas de Primaria y Secundaria, la Licenciatura en Ciencias de la Actividad Física y el Deporte y el posterior paso de Félix por el …
