Ethical issues in the teaching and learning of health topics in schools: the conceptions of teacher trainees

2013

There has been little research on how teacher trainees can be educated to deal with ethical issues, or on trainees' conceptions of these issues. Using written essays, this study aimed to examine health education teacher trainees' (N = 35) conceptions of the ethical aspects involved in teaching and learning health topics. A qualitative content analysis revealed three broad themes: health education as an ethical subject, the teacher as an ethical professional, and spaces for learning. The results reflect the content areas focused on in health education teacher training, and provide new insights into topics that can be useful in developing teacher training. peerReviewed

2015

The aim of this paper was to gain an understanding of the views of a group of physical education teacher educators on the purpose(s) of school physical education and whether, how and why these views have changed over time. Semi-structured individual interviews were carried out with thirteen physical education teacher educators; a fourteenth participant responded to interview questions in writing.

"I could give up many things but not that" : teachers' and pupils' experiences of using the European Language Portfolio in assessment

2015

Arviointi on olennainen osa opetusta ja oppimista kouluissa. Kielitaidon arviointiin vaikuttavat käsitykset kielitaidosta ja aikojen saatossa kielitaidon arviointi on muuttunut lähes mekaanisesta kielitaidon osa-alueiden mittaamisesta monipuolisempaan kielenkäytön arviointiin (ks. esim. Rea-Dickins 2012: 12). Perinteisen kielitaidon testauksen juuret ovat kuitenkin yhä syvällä arviointikulttuurissamme ja vasta viime vuosikymmeninä on alettu painottaa testeille vaihtoehtoisten arviointimetodien tärkeyttä. Johtava ajatus nykypäivän kouluarvioinnissa on, että kaiken arvioinnin tulisi edistää oppimista. Lisäksi oppilaiden tulisi olla aktiivisesti osallisina arvioinnissa. Yksi monipuolinen työka…

Digital competence in the curricula of Spanish public universities

2018

[EN] The massive incorporation of the technological resources in the classrooms of the infantile and primary centers has been a reality evident for some years, thanks to state plans like School 2.0 or autonomous ones like EducaMadrid or the Intelligent Educational Centers in the Valencian Community. And although much has been written in recent times about digital competence and the initial training of teachers in public universities, it is necessary to continue investigating and reflecting on their suitability and implementation in a society in continuous technological change. On this subject, in these lines it is tried to analyze the curriculum of the Teaching Degrees of several public uni…

Luokanopettajaopiskelijat tekstien tuottajina yhden yliopistovuoden aikana

2021

Tässä artikkelissa tarkastellaan luokanopettajaopiskelijoiden (n=54) kuvauksia tekstien tuottamisesta heidän ensimmäisen yliopistovuotensa aikana. Tutkimusaineistona olivat opiskelijoiden vastaukset lomakekyselyyn heidän ensimmäisenä ja toisena opiskeluvuotenaan. Tutkimusaineisto analysoitiin aineistolähtöisen sisällönanalyysin ja kvantifioinnin avulla. Opiskelijat kielensivät tuottaneensa ensimmäisen opiskeluvuotensa aikana 102 erilaista tekstiä. Heidän tieteellisten tekstien tuottamisen kuvauksistaan hahmotettiin kirjoittajaminään ja tekstin tuottamisen osataitoihin (tekstilaji-, prosessi-, tekniset ja ajattelun taidot) liittyvät näkökulmat. Molempina vuosina korostuivat tekstilaji-, pros…
