Seminar groups as part of first-semester mathematics teaching: What did the students learn?
2018
International audience; In this study, the learning encouraged by teaching activities in a small-group setting was investigated through the analysis of students' responses to survey and interview questions. The results indicate that the students perceived an increased ability to communicate mathematics in written form, but to a lesser extent developed their ability to discuss mathematics and build conceptual understanding.
Un'indagine sulla pratica scolastica relativa all'educazione alla salute in un campione di insegnanti della provincia di Palermo
2005
Planning promotional interventions in health education appears inadeguate, in spite of the great number of legislative and theoric statements. Few Schools, in fact, are capable of realizing activities in health education, either for lack of human and material resources in the school, as well as for difficulties in links and communication with the territory. In front of scholastic presences well developed and competent in health education, coesist an elevated number of schools which consider healt education as an additional work for teachers, giving as acquaired in the family or in other specific courses the relative notions.
Más allá de la disciplina académica: algunas consideraciones para el desarrollo en los procesos educativos
2020
Erróneamente se cree que enseñar es una actividad sencilla en la que solo basta con conocer la materia y algo de experiencia. Desconociendo los conocimientos pedagógicos y didácticos propios de la docencia y de otras áreas como la psicología cognitiva y la sociología, que facultan para ejercer de una manera profesional la enseñanza. Por otra parte, se desconoce la evolución en las prácticas y necesidades educativas del mundo contemporáneo que van más allá de un conocimiento disciplinar. En este trabajo se describen algunos factores a tener en cuenta para el desarrollo de la profesión docente, al existir una relación multidimensional (normativa, emocional, intersubjetiva), centrada en objeti…
Technology Comprehension
2018
We account for the first research results from a government initiatedexperiment that scales Making to a national discipline.The Ministry of Education, in Denmark, has introducedTechnology Comprehension as a new discipline for lowersecondary education. Technology Comprehension is first experimentedas an elective subject in 13 schools. The disciplinecombines elements from computing, design, and the societalaspect of technology and, thus, resonates with the existingFabLearn and Making initiatives in Scandinavia. We reportthe identified opportunities and challenges based on interviews,surveys, and a theme discussion with experiencedteachers from the 13 schools. The main takeaways are: First,the…
Technology Comprehension — Combining computing, design, and societal reflection as a national subject
2019
This article considers the implementation of a new learning subject ”Technology Comprehension” into lower secondary schools in Denmark, as part of an initiative by the Danish Ministry of Education. The subject consists of learning objectives related to computing, design, and societal reflection and was first introduced as an elective course in 13 schools to investigate how it could be integrated into the Danish education system. We present four key findings based on school visits, interviews, an electronical survey, two questionnaires, and workshops including theme discussions: (1) teachers did not perceive Technology Comprehension as a distinct subject, but rather as a set of skills that c…
Student teachers and their attitudes towards ICT: Lessons learned from three different countries
2021
This paper explores the attitudes that student teachers in Malta, Norway, and Spain convey to digital technologies in formal educational settings as they start the 1st semester. A number of studies look at educational inclinations and employment of digital technologies (Granić & Marangunić, 2019; Ritter, 2017; Scherer & Teo, 2019). We have chosen to examine student teachers’ attitudes towards the professional use of digital technologies within a pedagogical framework. In this respect, a comparative qualitative analysis of one open-ended question that forms part of a more extensive questionnaire distributed to all participants is considered. The employed analytical lens subsequently …
La imagen del docente de educación física en los libros de texto
2015
El objeto de esta investigación es analizar la figura del docente en las imágenes de los libros de texto de Educación Física (EF) en la etapa de Educación Primaria (EP). Se realiza un estudio descriptivo univariante y bivariante, a través del análisis de contenido. La muestra extraída de cinco editoriales consta de 45 imágenes, a partir de la Ley de Educación 2/2006 (LOE). Los resultados obtenidos muestran un predominio de la figura femenina, joven, de raza blanca y somatotipo ectomorfo, en las clases de EF; siendo la figura de la mujer joven-delgada y la del hombre maduro-delgado.

L’innovazione tecnologica e il Faculty Development.
2023
La crisi pandemica ha accelerato la diffusione di ambienti di apprendimento caratterizzati dall'uso intensivo della tecnologia. Questa novità rappresenta un obiettivo trasversale della professionalizzazione del docente universitario, con una particolare declinazione sul versante pedagogico-didattico-valutativo quale questione strategica per lo sviluppo dell’alta formazione. Il contributo illustra i risultati di una ricerca condotta con 119 docenti universitari neoassunti e 20 Direttori di dipartimento. La finalità della ricerca è stata, da una parte, rilevare la percezione dei docenti neoassunti relativa alle proprie competenze didattiche, metacognitive e valutative, con riferimento alla di…
Student Partners in Task Design in a computer medium to promote Foundation students' learning of mathematics
2018
International audience; A team consisting of three mathematics education teacher-researchers, four former Foundation students (called Student Partners, SPs), and two analytic assistants worked together to produce mathematical tasks in a computer medium for the mathematical learning of current Foundation students (FSs). We have explored the collaboration between the SPs and researchers, the processes and outcomes of task design, and the contribution of the collaboration to tutorial teaching of FSs. We seek insight into the learning of all concerned of mathematics, mathematics teaching, task design and personal-professional development. The project is ongoing. Here we introduce the project an…
E-portfolio e flipped classroom: un’indagine esplorativa con i futuri insegnanti di scuola primaria
2023
Il contributo intende far riflettere sul tema della formazione dei futuri insegnanti di scuola primaria, a partire dall’impiego dell’e-portfolio come dispositivo innovativo per promuovere l’acquisizione della competenza riflessiva e autovalutativa all’interno della flipped classroom. La ricerca, che ha coinvolto 154 studenti del Corso di laurea magistrale in Scienze della Formazione Primaria dell’Università degli Studi di Palermo, che frequentavano il corso di Docimologia nell’anno accademico 2020/2021, presenta i presupposti teorici, gli obiettivi e le modalità operative di un percorso che ha visto l’impiego dell’e-portfolio nella flipped per promuovere lo sviluppo delle competenze docimol…
