Teacher Guidance in Mathematical Problem-Solving Lessons : Insights from Two Professional Development Programs
2019
When implementing a problem-solving lesson, the teacher needs to provide students appropriate guidance during problem solving. This demanding task requires understanding students’ work in progress and giving them necessary help without constraining their thinking. In this article, we share insights from two professional development programs on how teachers guided students’ problem solving and how they reflected on these instances. One of the programs included Finnish pre-service teachers, while the other program included US in-service teachers. We analyzed video-recorded problem-solving lessons from 16 Finnish and 2 US teachers in grades 6–9. We found two themes about teacher guidance of st…
Les ouvrages de mathématiques dans l'histoire
2013
Les frontières qui séparent les ouvrages de mathématiques, qu'ils soient destinés à la recherche, l'enseignement ou la culture, sont poreuses. L'auteur d'un ouvrage destiné à des chercheurs doit se faire comprendre, surtout s'il propose des notions inédites. L'auteur d'un ouvrage d'enseignement voit parfois des problèmes d'enseignement devenir des problèmes mathématiques. Un ouvrage destiné à la culture mathématique accumule les difficultés : diffuser des idées nouvelles à un public non averti. Le propos de ces études sur les ouvrages de mathématiques est de parcourir ces frontières pour questionner aussi bien l'existence des ouvrages, leur production et leur matérialité, que les visées de …
"Media are your windows to the world" : teachers' perspectives on the use of media and ICT in foreign language teaching
2016
Eri medioita on käytetty opetuksessa jo vuosikymmeniä. Internetin ja sosiaalisen median käytön kasvun myötä uudentyyppiset mediat ovat ottaneet jalansijaa luokkahuoneissa ja niiden oppiainerajat ylittävään käyttöön kehotetaan myös uusimmissa opetussuunnitelmissa. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena on selvittää kuinka usein opettajat käyttävät eri medioita opetuksessaan ja vapaa-ajallaan, kuinka pedagogisesti hyödyllisiksi he kokevat eri mediatyypit ja kuinka hyvin he osaavat niitä itse käyttää opetuksessa. Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena on lisäksi saada tietoa siitä, mitkä ovat opettajien mielestä suurimmat hyödyt ja haasteet median opetuskäytössä ja siitä, minkälaista lisäkoulutusta medioiden käyt…
Advances of Research in Education and ICT in Hospital Classrooms
2017
Últimamente ha proliferado la utilización de aplicaciones didácticas digitales en torno a la educación del alumnado convaleciente. No obstante, son escasos los trabajos que han estudiado de forma global las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación (TIC) y sus materiales en las aulas hospitalarias (AH). Desde ese punto de vista, hemos realizado un análisis de los avances alcanzados en las investigaciones desarrolladas sobre experiencias educativas, evaluando el impacto de las TIC y comprobando que el alumnado hospitalizado puede conectarse con la comunidad educativa y su entorno. La metodología llevada a cabo ha sido la revisión bibliográfica que nos ha permitido organizar, clasificar…
Highlights in Teaching Ethical Management Applied in Achieving Economic Sciences
2018
Talking about ethical strategies for teaching economics subjects is in the same time very easy and very difficult. It’s easy because the capacity of these ethical concerns of crossing the strict framework of the disciplines it is absolutely obvious. It is difficult, because the most difficult thing in the world is to talk about something that it is obvious. Moreover, the capacity of being surprises by the Obvious, the ability of questioning where most of the people see only certainty it is the genuine original impulse of philosophizing.
Experimental macroeconomics: a role-playing experience among bachelor students
2020
This current innovative education project has the main goal of introducing students to experimental economics to help them better understand complex macroeconomic concepts. For this purpose, it is used an online experimental platform to develop a role-playing dynamic with which students become real economic agents. This gamified technique allows students to interact with each other in the goods and production factors markets and, thus, generate a circular flow studied as one of the main macroeconomic principles. The online platform is conceived as a two-sided website: on one hand, students are assigned a role and asked to make decisions; and, on the other, professors can instantaneously acc…
La utilización de la historia de las ciencias en la enseñanza de la física y la química
1996
Most recently we have assisted to a considerable increase of investigations on cons tructivi Stic approaches to Science teaching, but among all these works we rarely found detailed proposals for including the History and Philosophy of Science. In this paper we consider how to initiate this trend and which should be the aims in order to get a better Science teaching. We consider basically which the pupils’ perceptions of Science in a High School level are in order to show how we can modify them by means of introducing the History of Science under a new perspective.
On Migration and Illiteracy—Dealing With Texts in L2 Italian Initial-Literacy Classes
2019
Acquiring the language spoken in the host country is crucial for social inclusion of migrants. From this perspective, illiteracy represents a social problem since it has repercussions on second-language acquisition/learning process. In order to investigate the role of illiteracy in L2 Italian acquisition, the paper aims at analyzing the oral productions of L2 Italian learners with equal L1 but a different level of education, i.e., low educated vs. non-educated. The learners’ productions are collected through semi-structured video interviews. From the perspective of the conversational analysis, the interviews are transcribed and studied taking into account also non-verbal aspects of the oral…
The 5-Dimensional Model: A Finnish Approach to Differentiation
2021
This chapter focuses on differentiation in English language teaching. We present the 5-dimensional (5D) model of differentiation which has been created based on the Finnish educational context. The model is grounded in the postulate that differentiation is a proactive and student-centred approach that permeates all teaching and involves the entire school community. The 5D model progresses from general to specific. It advocates for differentiation to be implemented holistically in several dimensions of teaching which are teaching arrangements, learning environment, teaching methods, support materials and assessment. Furthermore, it proposes that all differentiation should be based on student…
