Generating students' information seeking questions in the scholar lab: what benefits can we expect from inquiry teaching approaches?
2013
ABSTARCT: Physics teachers use experimental devices to show students how scientific concepts, principles, and laws are applied to understand the real world. This paper studies question generation of secondary and under-graduate university students when they are confronted with experimental devices in different but usual teaching situations: reading about devices while studying still images or diagrams, watching an experimental demonstration, and handling the devices in the laboratory. The influence of the prior scientific knowledge on the questions asked is also analysed. Inquiry learning environments, involving lab projects, seemed to stimulate more inferences addressed to causality when s…
Insegnare il problem solving nella scuola primaria. Contributi di ricerca.
2020
A partire dall’analisi della letteratura internazionale relativa al problem solving, il presente volume propone un intervento didattico rivolto agli alunni della scuola primaria, verificandone ampiamente gli effetti, anche sul piano metacognitivo ed affettivo, su un consistente campione di studenti. Il testo offre indicazioni operative, fondate su evidenze di ricerca, che consentono gradualmente agli studenti di acquisire un metodo di soluzione di problemi attraverso una comprensione autentica, che li abitui ad individuare più soluzioni, che li stimoli continuamente al controllo del proprio modo di procedere attraverso la riflessione metacognitiva, il modeling e il feedback nella discussion…
A first experience with Problem-based learning in a course of Psychometrics
2019
The aim of this study was to to describe students’ perceptions on problem-based learning (PBL) when applied in a course of Psychometrics. 34 students participated in the course. Activities were conducted in groups of three students during two sessions of two hours each, and included the traditional steps in the PBL tutorial process. Participants were surveyed on their perceptions on PBL, acquisition of competences in PBL vs Traditional learning, and will to use PBL methodology in the future. Results pointed that students’ perceived PBL could help them to improve group work and problem resolution. Students preferred PBL methodology to acquire responsibility for learning, work with groups and…
Teacher Talk Patterns in Science Lessons: Use in Teacher Education
2006
This paper presents an innovative and useful methodology to analyze instructional talk. In teacher education, there is a lack of practical methods that the tutor teacher can use to discuss and reflect on student teachers’ lessons. The student teacher cannot remember what actually happened during the lesson, and the feedback and discussions are based on memory and are, therefore, unstructured. The purpose of this explorative and descriptive case study was to characterize the teacher talk used in the process of a teacher’s guidance of secondary school students’ acquisition of knowledge about physics. First, a classification method for classroom talk was developed. Then, using this method, the…
Finnish interpretations of Creative Physical Education
2016
ABSTRACTWhen physical education (PE) teachers change their programs to incorporate something new, the process always involves some effort at interpretation and adaptation. The perceived benefits must outweigh the labour required to think through the possibilities and to then manage the political and logistical challenges that go hand in hand with achieving change of this magnitude. This paper tells the story of one such change process, which involved the interpretation by a small group of teachers in Finland of a set of pedagogical ideas and practices developed in Australia known as Creative Physical Education. The story involves a range of characters (including the authors) and conveys the…
2019
Abstract The study examined teachers’ stories on developing co-teaching partnerships. The narratives of three two-teacher teams were used to illustrate joint professional landscapes. The teams narrated the development process as one in which commitment, engagement and negotiation were the key elements in shaping their professional landscapes. The findings indicate wide variation in the role of shared understanding and related engagement in co-constructing co-teaching practices.
Niveles de conciencia del profesorado en su función orientadora: una tipología enmarcada en la lógica difusa
2018
This article presents a work on what we have called levels of consciousness of teachers who are not specialized in educational and professional guidance functions following the notion of the so called fuzzy logic. This analysis is part of a research on secondary school teachers for the context, carried out in ten autonomous communities for two years, which seeks to get to know the different representations of teachers, considering that the identification of guidance models resulting from different elements of social nature. To do this, we analyzed the discursive material obtained through discussion groups in which teachers of secondary education participated in order to analyze their levels…
Con "d" de "dual": investigación sobre la implantación del sistema dual en la formación profesional en España
2017
En el presente artículo, exponemos los principales resultados de la investigación que hemos llevado a cabo sobre el proceso de implantación de la formación profesional dual en la totalidad de los ciclos de dicha etapa en España, al amparo de un proyecto europeo de transferencia de innovación. La metodología utilizada es la cuantitativa. Se realizaron y se validaron dos cuestionarios dirigidos a la dirección y al profesorado tutor de formación profesional dual en un universo de 456 centros que desarrollaban esta modalidad en España en 2015. Las encuestas fueron respondidas por un total de 179 centros de formación profesional pertenecientes a 16 comunidades autónomas. De estos centros, 136 co…
Enfoques y concepciones docentes en la universidad
2014
La investigación pretende conocer los enfoques y concepciones sobre docencia del profesorado universitario a lo largo de su trayectoria profesional. Desde la fenomenografía pero con enfoque metodológico mixto, nuestro análisis muestra gran variabilidad respecto cómo los docentes comprenden y expresan sus experiencias y concepciones sobre docencia. Éstas se pueden clasificar en: impartir conocimiento, entusiasmar y motivar, desarrollar habilidades y cambiar concepciones en los estudiantes; con combinaciones entre ellas. Las categorías se ordenan de mayor a menor comprensión de la docencia, son progresivas e inclusivas. Los enfoques docentes no tienen relación con la edad, experiencia, discip…
Evaluar para transformar: evaluación de la docencia universitaria bajo el prisma de la sostenibilidad
2017
El objetivo principal de este estudio se dirige a diagnosticar el nivel de introducción de la sostenibilidad en las actividades docentes y facilitar la autoevaluación profesional del profesorado universitario desde criterios de sostenibilidad.El estudio está basado en la investigación evaluativa como metodología asociada al paradigma sociocrítico; se analizan los resultados de la aplicación de un cuestionario autodiagnóstico validado, dirigido al profesorado de las áreas científico-técnicas de la Universitat de València. En el proceso sistemático de recogida y análisis de la información se han aplicado criterios para garantizar la calidad del juicio emitido.Los resultados ofrecen un diagnós…
