ICT in education : EFL teacher trainees' views of the affordances of ICT use in education and the need for ICT training in teacher education programm…

2014

Tieto- ja viestintäteknologia (TVT) on tärkeä osa ihmisten jokapäiväistä elämää ja toimintoja. TVT:n yleistyminen yhteiskunnan jokaisella osa-alueella alleviivaa myös uusien digitaalisten kompetenssien tärkeyttä kaikissa ikäluokissa. Aikaisemmassa tutkimuksessa on keskitytty mm. opettajien ja oppilaiden taitoihin ja tapoihin hyödyntää TVT:aa opetuksessa ja oppimisessa, mutta vastaavia kysymyksiä opettajaopiskelijoiden näkökulmasta on esitetty häviävän vähän. On tärkeää huomioida, että kuten kriittisen ajattelun taidot, myös TVT:n laaja-alainen osaaminen on pitkän aikajakson kuluessa kehittyvä taito. Jotta tulevan opettajasukupolven TVT-taitoja voitaisiin tutkia ja selvittää oleellisia taust…

‘So close, yet so different’ – reflections on the multicultural course of Slavic languages

2019

The complexity of language learning may be expanded to learning the languages belonging to the same language family, for example, Slavic languages. This paper reports on the reflection-on action research aimed at the increase of learners’ multicultural competence and enhancement of critical thinking at the interdisciplinary, blended course of Slavic languages and cultures. The course organized in modules is implemented in Moodle. Course content is designed by the teacher; however, Slavic languages are presented by native speakers of these languages. Learners have an opportunity to get familiar with Slavic languages, history, and culture from the presenters’ perspective, what generally resul…

Interaction and eEducation: What kind of support is needed to develop university teaching?

2014

Higher education institutions are facing an on-going pressure to develop pedagogy which promotes high-quality learning, supports studying in various learning circumstances, and integrates technology. Flexible and meaningful learning possibilities which develop skills for the world of work, like active agency, collaboration and construction of knowledge through interaction with others, are needed in university education. To address these needs, a multidisciplinary network for developing university teaching was introduced at the University of Jyväskylä, Finland in 2011. Even though the main focus of the developmental work is based on the strategy of the university jointly shared among teacher…

The competency-based approach in developing countries

2013

For decades, all analyzes converge on the idea of the relative inefficiency of education systems in sub-Saharan Africa. Dropout, repetition, overstaffing, low quality of learning student failure and obsolescence of facilities, teaching materials and teachers, including sometimes the levels and quality of education remain somewhat uncertain, inadequate educational programs. In short, these are some of the ills that plague these systems and confirm the findings made by many reports.Given this weakness finding, educational authorities, supported by international aid mobilized in many countries to improve their systems to qualitatively, but also quantitatively equity because we must not forget …

Languages as objects of learning: language learning as a case of multilingualism

2011

This paper considers multilingualism from the point of view of language learning and teaching. We discuss the ‘monological’ thinking in linguistics and in the research of language learning and teaching and argue that the monological stand, more often than not, also embeds a monolingual bias. As an alternative to monologism, we discuss dialogical notion of language and argue that this inherently involves a multilingual stand. peerReviewed

Factors Influencing Teachers’ Use of ICT in Class: Evidence from a Multilevel Logistic Model

2022

Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) have become a key factor in the educational context, especially in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, and, correctly implemented, can help to improve academic performance. The aim of this research was to analyse the factors that influence teachers’ decisions to use ICT more- or less frequently to carry out tasks and exercises in their classes. To this end, we estimated a multilevel logistic model with census data from the individualized evaluation of students of the Community of Madrid (Spain) carried out at the end of the 2018–2019 academic year in primary and secondary education. Additionally, we applied multiple imputation techniques…

Il reciprocal teaching nella formazione iniziale degli insegnanti di sostegno della scuola secondaria di primo e secondo grado

2022

Attraverso il presente contributo si vuole verificare se nell’ambito del percorso di Specializzazione per le attività di sostegno per la Scuola secondaria di primo e secondo grado dell’Università degli Studi di Palermo, un approccio sistematico basato sul Reciprocal Teaching, con 1203 futuri insegnanti di sostegno di scuola secondaria di primo e secondo grado e materiali didattici appositamente predisposti, possa favorire il miglioramento della comprensione attraverso la capacità di sintesi e lo sviluppo di abilità metacognitive. Il Reciprocal Teaching, tra le varie strategie metacognitive è stata riconosciuta come la più solida dal punto di visto teorico e quella supportata da maggiori evi…
