La valutazione dei processi decisionali per lo sviluppo della responsabilità in Università
2018
Per orientare i giovani universitari nelle scelte bisogna predisporre dei percorsi formativi all'interno dei corsi universitari che direttamente o indirettamente promuovano lo sviluppo di una progettualità personale fondata su una realistica conoscenza del proprio sé, sulla scoperta di significati e di valori che diano senza alla propria esistenza.Chi insegna all'Università dovrebbe chiedersi: che cosa rende responsabile una persona, ossia, cosa fa sì che un individuo possa farsi carico, di fronte ad altri, delle conseguenze di una sua determina scelta o azione? In order to guide university students in their choices, it is necessary to prepare training courses within university courses that…
Fostering learning and innovation skills in Initial Teacher Education
2018
L'opportunità di partecipare attivamente alla formazione iniziale degli insegnanti e l'esperienza di ricerca svolta durante il dottorato ha consentito all’a. di verificare come creare, attraverso l’uso delle tecnologie, ambienti di apprendimento e situazioni didattiche che migliorano le soft skills dei futuri docenti. È stato così possibile esplorare nuovi ambienti di apprendimento e di insegnamento, nuove forme organizzative e nuove modalità di interazione tra docenti e studenti verificandone la validità e l’efficacia. Le conclusioni ricavate dalla ricerca hanno fornito indicazioni utili per il miglioramento delle competenze trasversali dei futuri docenti. Numerous studies reveal that ther…
Professional identity among student teachers of physical education : the role of physicality
2019
In this study, we investigate the role of physicality in the professional identities of physical education (PE) student teachers. Twenty PE student teachers participated in semi-structured interviews during their final teaching practice. Data were analysed using qualitative thematic analysis (Braun and Clarke 2006) and typologies (Patton 2002). The results showed substantial diversity in the student teachers’ conceptions of physicality and the ways these conceptions were embedded in their developing professional identities. The results also brought to light criticism directed at traditional notions of the body and physicality in PE and PE teacher education (PETE). We suggest that conception…
What is important in history teaching? Student class teachers’ conceptions
2020
In Finland, history is taught in comprehensive schools at both primary and secondary levels. In primary schools, teachers are qualified class teachers who study one or two history courses during their teacher education. The amount of history taught in teacher education is limited, but student class teachers have studied history while at comprehensive school and general upper secondary school, and they have lived experience of historical cultures as members of different groups and communities. Thus, they have conceptions of what history teaching in school is, and what it should be. In this article, student class teachers’ conceptions of teaching history were examined using data (n=92) consi…
Project Based Teacher Education to Develop Materials, Instruction and Culture for Phenomenon-Based Steam Projects with Pupils in Schools
2018
In Finland, the most radical ongoing school reform is fading out the borders around school subjects to better prepare young people for future challenges. The new National curricular guidelines include phenomenon - based learning (PhBL) at all school levels. In teacher education, we have adopted a project - based approach for accustoming teachers to this change. Communities of learners with diverse areas of expertize are called together to accomplish projects, along with student teachers. The driving questions are directing the development of materials and guidance to realize cross - subject educational projects with pupils in schools. We are applying Ajzen’s Theory of Planned Behaviour to e…
Introduction to Strand 14
2020
Strand 14 of ESERA addresses an internationally increasingly recognized complex field of science education research: in-service teacher education and continued professional development of science teachers. It is obvious that the value and success of any educational system strongly corresponds with the quality of its teachers’ competences and practices. In this sense, it is not surprising that the strand on in-service science teacher education is always one of the most active strands of ESERA. Compared to the last ESERA conference proceedings, the number of papers presented in this strand was growing from 10 to 32 pieces.
Teacher Educators’ and Teacher Trainees’ Perspective on Teacher Training for Sustainable Development
2020
Abstract In accordance with Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4), countries across the globe are striving to ensure equitable access to inclusive, quality and lifelong educational opportunities for all children, youth and adults by 2030. Teacher education has been identified as one of the key factors in the achievement of the SDG 4 targets. As part of the effort to ensure sustainable teacher education for the achievement of SDG 4 in Ghana, this study applied the four key concepts in the SDG 4: quality, equity, inclusion and lifelong learning, to determine the progress with regards to SDG 4 in the context of teacher education in Ghana. The specific objectives of this study were to determin…
Learning strategies, decision-making styles and conscious use of technologies in initial teacher education
2018
The aim of this research is to develop a toolkit enabling to observe transversal skills of future teachers. The research was carried out with 236 students attending the Educational Technologies course at the Primary Education program at Palermo University, during academic year 2017/2018. The research hypothesis is that the knowledge of the initial situation of students, as much objective as possible, requires triangulation, comparison and integration of the information collected with three self-assessment tools. An Italian toolkit is now available. It allows to detect the following, at the beginning of the university course: (i) how students integrate ICT with disciplinary contents and teac…

Multiple Creativities Put to Work for Creative Ecologies in Teacher Professional Learning: A Vision and Practice of Everyday Creativity
2021
AbstractIn this chapter, we argue for a new vision for teacher professional learning based on the diverse creativities as practice which catalyzes educational change in whole-school contexts. We argue that it is possible (and preferable) to expand improvements to teacher education and professional development beyond neoliberal notions of “workplace readiness” and toward an environmental, ecological, sustainable education for lives worth living. This creative ecological approach considers the entire context and community of various stakeholders.Applying a case study approach, we analyze teachers’ published assignments in a blended in-service teacher education course entitled “Everyday Creati…
