Full textAbstract:
An important aspect of vocational education and training (VET) teaching is education that is strongly linked to current industry practices. While this is a desirable pursuit, there are considerable challenges in it being implemented owing to increasingly changing work environments and the notion of ‘industry currency’. One way for VET teachers to remain up to date with contemporary industrial practices is for VET to pursue teacher placement in industry (TPI) opportunities. TPI is an agreement in terms of which the VET teacher is seconded to a firm for a period of time in order to perform predefined tasks. The resulting benefits include enhanced teaching practices and the development of deeper, long-term links with industry. However, TPI opportunities are not without their challenges. This article reports on an exploratory study of the views of VET education managers of business studies on the value of TPI. Because management support is integral to creating TPI opportunities, we explored the extent to which TPI is desired and supported by education managers. We found that policies supporting TPI initiatives, if they are in place, are not well formulated, and that a lack of resources and difficulties in finding industry partners exist. Despite these problems, education managers believe that these activities are of value to teaching programmes and of benefit to their department. We conclude that TPI should be an integral part of any VET professional development for teachers, but that, in order for TPI to be successful, appropriate resourcing and the development of strong industry networks are paramount.

This article describes the educational innovation fairs (EIF), a large-scale collaborative action research initiative undertaken by an academic institution and the teacher-education department of a provincial government in India over a three-year period (2015 to 2017). The EIF initiative primarily sought to help teacher-educators in 26 sub-provincial teacher training institutes (STTIs) realize the potential of teacher-generated innovations to enrich the teacher training curriculum in the state-run schooling system. It required teacher-educators to identify and validate innovative teacher-generated work, that was then displayed for two days in a year in a public exhibition visited by a large number of teachers. Case studies of the displayed work were then sent to schools and used in teacher training programmes. The EIF experience indicates the importance of setting the political and academic context carefully if action research is to take off in the public education system. Second, the policy adaptation that is inevitable in such a system implies an understanding of the deviations that might be considered tolerable. Finally, the partners need to jointly reflect on and consciously plan their post-collaboration individual trajectories during the collaboration itself, for the outcomes of action research have to be embedded in an evolving research agenda aimed at continuous improvement.

Full textAbstract:
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in education has become an important issue in education reform in many countries such as Hong Kong, Singapore, the United States, and the United Kingdom. Education reform is needed to give skill set of the 21st century to students. Indonesian government has begun implementing ICT in education since 2002 marked by the establishment of the Indonesian Telematics Coordinating Team (TKTI). Although the development of ICT is still far away compared to Hong Kong and Singapore, ICT development is on the right track. In 2013, Indonesia began to initiate Open Educational Resources (OER) and teacher training on ICT. Open educational resources are digitized materials that can be freely accessed by those who want to teach, learn, or research. The OER initiatives have many challenges ahead, one of them is the development of the OER community involving all teachers in Indonesia. The gap in education quality between islands in Indonesia is added with the differences of education infrastructure and education resources. Therefore, Indonesia must create personalized professional development program based on the need of each island. The Indonesia government could initiate the OER consortium to unite all teachers to build a knowledge society. The methods of creating a professional development program could be deducted from the U.S. which has many districts and gap in education quality between states. The purpose of this paper is to develop a professional development program in creating the OER community in Indonesia. This paper tries to investigate what kind of professional development that has been set in, analyze the problems that would likely to occur, and give some solutions.

Full textAbstract:
School is a crucial component in teacher training. Schools are also the places where pre – service teachers practice manipulations, career actions, capacity development and career sentiments. The innovation of Vietnamese general education from content to competency approach has led to many changes in the schools, thereby requiring teacher training to be linked to educational practices in every school. The schools have just played the role of a unit that evaluates and tests the training quality of the pedagogical universities, and at the same time provides practical educational knowledge and educational innovation to supplement the theoretical knowledge in school offenses. This research aims at determining the role of schools during training pre – service teachers in Vietnam. Data was collected through questionnaires involving 390 participants comprising student teachers, lecturers from pedagogy universities and mentors of schools in Vietnam. The results showed that, in Vietnam, schools are lacking initiative in coordinating with teacher training institutions. The role of schools is still limited; the schools need to promote the initiative and be more active in the relationship with pedagogical universities so that the effectiveness of teacher training is the highest, adapting to the innovations of current Vietnam education.

<p class="apa">This study was aimed to identify the association of teachers’ attitude towards the implementation of Staff Development Training with Knowledge Sharing Practices among the lecturers of the Teacher Training Instituition (TTI). In addition, this study was also to examine the differences in attitudes towards the implementation of Staff Development Training and differences of knowledge sharing practices of lecturers based on demographic factors (gender, teaching experience, and academic qualifications). This is a quantitative approach in cross-sectional survey to collect data on the attitude towards staff development training and knowledge sharing practices among lecturers. The population of this study involved 748 lecturers from TTI in Perlis, Kedah, and Pulau Pinang. Stratified random sampling technique was used to select 336 samples from the population. The instruments used in this research were Attitude of Staff Development Training (Siti-Zanariah, 2010) and Knowledge Sharing (Siti-Zanariah, 2010). Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) Version 19.0 was used for analysis of data. The descriptive data analysis involved the description of the respondents such as frequency and percentage, while the second part of inferential analysis was to test the hypotheses, using Pearson correlation, t-test, and ANOVA. This study had found that there was a significant and positive association between attitude towards SDT with knowledge sharing practices, a significant difference and positive attitude towards SDT based on gender and teaching experience and a significant and positive difference in terms of knowledge sharing practices based on gender, teaching experience, and academic qualifications. However, the results revealed that there were no significant differences in the attitudes of SDT based on academic qualifications. This research also discussed about the findings, implications, and contributions to the body of knowledge and the country, as well as the direction of future research.</p>

Full textAbstract:
Based on peer feedback, this paper further explores the application of peer feedback training to English writing teaching in China. From the theoretical perspective, compared with teacher feedback, peer feedback is beneficial to motivate students to take the initiative in learning, practice the student-centered concept, and promote cooperative learning among students. Peer feedback training, namely peer feedback under teacher intervention in this paper, combines the advantages of teacher feedback and peer feedback, which can not only be accepted by learners but also achieve significant pragmatic effects. From a practical point of view, peer feedback training can be applied to teach large groups of students, thus reducing the pressure and burden of teachers and improving the quality of peer feedback. The results also show that peer feedback training mainly works during the training stage rather than the modification stage. It is crucial to pay attention to the mechanism of peer feedback training and apply it to practice to promote the quality of English writing teaching.

Abstract Switzerland has one of the best ecosystems for entrepreneurship. However, there is a blind spot with regard to vocational colleges: A systematic integration of the topic is currently missing. The initiative “Entrepreneurial Thinking and Acting in Swiss Vocational Colleges – Economic, Social and Ethical Dimensions” aims to address this blind spot. The vision of the initiative is to ensure that all 75,000 young people entering vocational colleges each year in Switzerland are given the opportunity to acquire entrepreneurial skills to enable them to play an active role in positively shaping the economy and society of the future. In the article, we focus on three key aspects of the initiative: (1) the pedagogical approach of the entrepreneurship program that allows students to develop personal initiative, entrepreneurial competences, and an awareness of sustainability; (2) the continuous evaluation of the program and the teacher training; and (3) the parallel bottom-up and top-down approach chosen to integrate entrepreneurial thinking and acting in the vocational education and training system.

Full textAbstract:
In 2017, Kari Moore of Exodus Refugee Immigration and Ginger Kosobucki of the Immigrant Welcome Center met and discussed the unique needs Kari had noticed in her beginning literacy learners at Exodus. In 2018, Ginger led the Immigrant Welcome Center’s Adult ELL Research Project, which exposed the need for more classes geared for literacy-level learners, as well as more teacher training. In 2020, Kari and Ginger collaborated to lead professional development opportunities for Indianapolis teachers, including ATLAS Study Circles and a 2-day TESOL training with an expert from Literacy Minnesota. Since that time, they have formed a cohort -- the Pathway to Literacy development team -- consisting of teachers from programs around the city. The team has developed a 10-week pilot program, an assessment tool, and a website all designed to more effectively serve the needs of adult immigrants and refugees developing literacy skills for the first time. The Adult ELL Pathway to Literacy Initiative, a collaborative effort among educators in Indianapolis, is an attempt to provide access to vulnerable learners who have had limited access to educational opportunities.

The basic concepts of the research «action», «interaction» and «activity» were analyzed. It was determined that in today`s conditions preparation for pedagogical activity is considered as a dialectical unity of all its structural components, properties, connections and relations. It was found that the main components of readiness for pedagogical activity are unity of personal and procedural components. The approaches that need to be implemented in the training of future teachers for educational and nurture action were substantiated, in particular: professional selection and propaedeutic preparation of the future teacher, which involves the use of psychological and pedagogical technologies for selecting students for the teaching profession and creating conditions for the professional self-determination of youth, as well as determining its relevance to the requirements of pedagogical activity; improvement of the content of theoretical and practical training in pedagogical universities, therefore it is necessary to revise the content of disciplines for professional training of pedagogical staff at value, content and technological levels; organization of the educational process in a modern pedagogical university should be aimed at the use of effective forms of person-oriented interaction; priority should be given to the role of practical activity in future teacher training for educational and nurture action that provides mastery of the basics of professional skills. It was generalized that development of teachers’ professional competence should include the formation of motivation, initiative, responsibility, active life and professional position.

Full textAbstract:
Due to wide-scale introduction of distance learning, the education sphere faces new social and psychological problems related with self-actualization, improvement of intelligence level, and spiritual development of youth and students. Today, the young teacher is a bearer of a unique subculture, the holder of a special personal position, which is characterized by the active nature of consciousness, understanding of the importance of personal initiative in the education of the generation. We consider the student as a representative of young people, who is a carrier of cognitive activity, owning ways of interacting with social reality, including personal initiative. The status of a student of a pedagogical university in Moscow plays an important role in creating a certain socio-cultural environment of the metropolis. Research objective is to substantiate and diversify interdepartmental experience of the Institute of Foreign Languages in development of initiative and activity of students during studying socio-cultural space of the capital. This article presents the training experience of future teachers, which can be used in university educational environment, as well as illustrative examples confirming appropriateness and consistency of educational policy of Institute of Foreign Languages, Moscow City University, in this direction. The research is based on generalization of teaching experience in training teachers of the English language and theoretical methodological provisions described by leading Russian and foreign researchers. This research generalizes the most efficient methods and skills of development of youth initiative upon designing and implementation of authors’ projects of study of socio-cultural space of Moscow, the toolkit for support of students’ projects is presented. The importance of development of youth initiative for formation of socio-cultural competence of teacher and his self-education has been proven.

AbstractHuman capital represents for Moldova the basic resource for long-term development. The quality of human resources is largely ensured by the education system. The lack of a systemic approach to changes in education is identified in the National Development Strategy “Moldova 2030” as a causal factor in guaranteeing quality education for all. Artificial separation of training (teaching of academic content) from education is still ongoing. In the context of sustainable development, current topics are taught rather mechanically than practiced. Extensively new and often optional curricula are added, instead of integrating these topics into core disciplines and used as a basis for reviewing barriers between disciplines and applied strategies, so that they become more interactive and more targeted. towards the development of transversal competences.There are imperative models / projects of education oriented towards the attainment of the transdisciplinary and transversal competences, oriented towards a graduate endowed with transdisciplinary competences, formed through the prism of all the studied school disciplines and that allow him the active participation in the social and economic life. Promoting curricular approaches through one-day cross-disciplinary activities (recommended in the national curriculum) requires the extension of the competence of the teachers in the field of interdisciplinary learning. Required: collaborative planning (between teachers from different disciplines / curricular areas / domains), models of educational approach that use Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics (STEAM) as access points for guidance in the learning process, in the context of real life, through transdisciplinarity.In the article are: (a) described the practices of integrating the arts in STEAM education in the USA, (b) identified the prospects for integrating the school disciplines in the curricular arts area into the STEAM education in the primary education level in the Republic of Moldova. STEAM education is an innovative initiative in learning, which supports the development and practice of the skills of students and young people of the century. XXI, considered one of the main trends in world education, practiced in the US and over 10 countries in the EU. The integration of STEAM education models into the Moldovan education system (starting with early education and primary education) can contribute to the effective implementation of educational policies through the regulatory function (targeted by the teleological component) and the strategic function targeted by the content and process components.

University pedagogy has been promoted in the context of the policy for valuing undergraduate training at the University of São Paulo (USP). In this regard, one action of the Undergraduate Pro-Rectory was the creation of pedagogic support groups. The objective of this study is to report and analyze the strategies for university teacher training developed by the Pedagogic Support Group at the Ribeirão Preto Campus (GAPRP/USP–Grupo de Apoio Pedagógico do Campus de Ribeirão Preto), during the period from 2002 to 2015. The group takes on a conception of teacher training that extrapolates the technical dimension, considering political-social and historical determinants that have shaped the university, undergraduate teaching, and the faculty, as well as the valorization of strategies promoting reflection, theoretical-practical articulation, and collective learning. During the day-to-day monitoring of these education strategies, a few aspects are highlighted and analyzed: identification of the need for pedagogic training as an individual initiative of the teaching staff, despite the policies for valuing undergraduate training; investment in continuous educational strategies and the education undergone by the faculty that compose GAPRP/USP. To conclude, teacher training means to value the construction of a political project so as to qualify university teachers.

Full textAbstract:
“What is our image going to be—conventional educators or innovators, milque-toasts or activists?” In posing this question, federal staff members responsible for developing the National Teacher Corps (NTC), a Great Society teacher reform initiative, articulated both their assumptions about and aspirations for teaching in the 1960s. According to the reformers’ thinking, existing teachers lacked the qualities of innovation, dedication, and social and political engagement required to teach students in America's low-income communities. In response, they called for a new breed of teacher, with attributes and characteristics distinct from those of conventional educators, as well as a new approach to teacher training. The Corps’ strategy for producing this new breed of educator involved recruiting bright, liberal arts graduates to be teaching interns in underserved classrooms and engaging them in an alternative preparation that emphasized familiarizing candidates with their prospective students’ communities and the culture of poverty. In attracting “better” people and devising more effective training for the challenges of teaching in low-income schools, the Corps exploited both the Zeitgeist of the times and a deeply entrenched historical critique of teachers and teacher education, seeking nothing less than the rehabilitation of the teaching profession itself.

Full textAbstract:
The consulting teacher model is receiving increasing attention in state departments of education and local school districts. It offers possibilities for improving educational service in the mainstream to mildly handicapped children and other children at risk and is consonant with the current regular/special education initiative being promoted by the federal government. It also is consistent with reform strategies urging creation of master teachers. Because of its intuitive attractiveness, a risk exists that the model will be implemented prematurely on a statewide level. Among the likely and undesirable side-effects of hasty implementation are ineffective caseload management, conversion of the model into yet another tutoring model, premature replacement of the resource model, inadequate training of both regular and special educators, neglect of financial and program evaluation, and insufficient funding support from regular education. To increase the odds of successful implementation, states must accommodate multiple goals for the model, create administrative incentives that do not undermine it, and assure adequate preparation of teachers as consulting teachers. Without sufficient attention, resources, and planning, the consulting teacher model will fail to achieve its potential.

Recent government reviews of higher education in Australia have highlighted the need for comprehensive reform across the tertiary education and training sector. Teacher education has traditionally been offered in isolation from schools. Innovative partnerships between universities, schools, employing bodies, and other educational institutions are now encouraged. This study evaluates the impact and effectiveness of one university-school partnership between an Australian university and a large secondary college in Canberra, Australia. The partnership, titled the Down South initiative, embeds secondary teacher education within a College learning environment to bring together academics, secondary college students and teachers, and pre-service teachers for learning and research. The paper provides evidence of the effectiveness of the partnership in strengthening pre-service teachers’ professional identity, knowledge and practice and by contributing to mutually reciprocal outcomes for all.

During work integrated learning (WIL), pre-service mentoring helps prepare final-year education students for the workplace. The pre-service teacher is placed alongside a mentor teacher, and the higher education institution (HEI) stipulates the timeline and the requirements. This study follows a wide-ranging research project, identified by the acronym FIRE (Fourth-year Initiative for Research in Education). In this article we focus on pre-service teacher mentoring experiences, partnerships, roles, and teacher identity development concerning mentor teachers, not mentor lecturers. The results of 2 baseline exploratory research surveys are shared. The attitudes, beliefs, opinions and practices of Senior, Further Education and Training phase mentor teachers and pre-service teachers were gathered, measured and compared. The responses to 2 cross-sectional questionnaires in electronic format provided a competence-base for the design of curricula for 2 short courses about mentoring and self-regulated professionalism. The 2 short courses were created for mentor teachers and pre-service teachers.

Purpose This paper aims to present the qualitative findings on students’ and teachers’ experiences in communicating and interacting with students and teachers from different ethnic backgrounds in the Malaysian vision schools initiative. Design/methodology/approach Face-to-face interviews were conducted involving 15 informants comprising of three headteachers, three teachers and nine students. The interviews centred on the informants’ experiences and views living and experiencing the reality of the vision schools which is comprising three major races; Malays, Chinese and Indians; which is represented by the three school types which are a national school, Chinese vernacular and Indian vernacular schools. Findings The interview data revealed that the intercultural communication in the vision schools had triggered intercultural understanding and awareness of cultural diversity in the schools. However, the interview data with experienced teachers showed some drawbacks of the intercultural dynamics at the school complex. Among the weaknesses were the absence of structured and formal training on intercultural and multicultural education, lack of trust and poor social skills which may have hindered effective intercultural communication from taking place. Originality/value This study presents the informants’ experiences and views on the reality of intercultural interaction among students and teachers in the context of the Malaysian vision school initiative.

More and more schools are implementing a 1:1 mobile device initiative for their students because the future of learning will have technology embedded within the curriculum. Teachers are often given the direction to utilize mobile devices in the classroom, but quite often educators do not understand the significance of this technology or agree with its purpose. The purpose of this study was to explore elementary and secondary teacher perceptions of mobile technology in the classroom. According to the survey results, elementary and secondary teachers feel positive about the uses and the importance of mobile technology in the classroom. These positive perceptions by teachers regardless of gender, age, and training indicate that schools should continue to allocate resources to purchase mobile devices for all students.

Full textAbstract:
International trends show the formal teaching of English beginning at an increasingly early age. This presents challenges for national education systems and in particular, for primary schools and for primary school teachers who are not necessarily trained as English teachers. This paper looks at two different responses to the situation in Norway, through research into two different ways of organising, designing and implementing in-service English Training (INSET) for primary school teachers. One is a nationally organised program, the other is a local initiative. The contexts for the two different kinds of courses are outlined and the designs of the courses presented through document analysis interspersed with extracts from interviews with teacher trainers. Strengths and weaknesses of the two different kinds of courses are compared. The study concludes that if English teaching in primary schools in Norway is to improve towards 2030, there is a need for the introduction of new programs and structures for the development of teacher trainers with primary school teaching experience, and for the systematic development of networks of primary school English teachers with the aim of nurturing and sustaining their professional development

Full textAbstract:
Much of the existing research on academic integrity surveys students. This study compares survey responses of students, teachers, and school administrators from schools in 76 countries worldwide. The surveys addressed their knowledge, understanding, and attitudes toward academic honesty, how it is taught at their school, as well as school experiences. Results indicate that students mostly learn about academic integrity in the classroom. Most schools have a process to ensure students know about academic honesty, but half of schools indicate there is no similar process for teachers. State schools rely significantly more on student and teacher initiative to refresh or check their knowledge, such as accessing handbooks, and less on offering targeted student or teacher academic integrity training, than private schools.

Purpose. The tobacco settlement has provided the opportunity for the state of Hawaii to implement the Healthy Hawaii Initiative (HHI), targeting smoking, poor nutrition and physical inactivity. The purpose of this paper is to describe and document preliminary findings. Methods. The social ecological model is translated into practice through school and community grants to create systems, environmental and policy changes, teacher training on health and physical education standards, continuing education for the medical community in behavioral health, and a public education campaign. A comprehensive evaluation provides ongoing feedback for program improvement and progress on the effects of psychosocial mediators, behaviors, and long-term chronic diseases. Results and Discussion. Preliminary process results presented here are promising. The components are thought to interact synergistically to bring about behavior changes statewide. The HHI is one example of how to implement a multilevel initiative to target the three major behavioral determinants of chronic disease (tobacco use, physical inactivity, and poor nutrition) and build healthier communities.

Full textAbstract:
This reflection on community-driven research in process is written from the perspective of graduate student co-researchers collaborating with Wabanaki community co-researchers on a pilot project involving a Wabanaki and a non-Indigenous organization. Three Nations Education Group Inc. (TNEGI) represents three Wabanaki schools and communities in Northeast Turtle Island. The Child and Nature Alliance of Canada (CNAC) offers a Forest and Nature School Practitioner Course (FNSPC) for educators seeking to operate forest schools. These diverse organizations have developed a pilot FNSPC training for a group of TNEGI educators, with the purpose of Indigenizing the FNSPC. This is necessary to address the Eurocentric forest and nature school practices in Canada, which often fail to recognize the herstories, presence, rights, and diversity of Indigenous Peoples and places. TNEGI educators envision a land-based pedagogy that centers Wabanaki perspectives and merges Indigenous and Western knowledges. In the FNSPC pilot, the co-researchers generated course changes as they progressed through the pilot, decolonizing the content and format as they went. Developing this Indigenized version of the FNSPC will have far-reaching implications for the CNAC Forest School ethos and teacher training delivery. This essay maps our collaborative efforts thus far in creating an ethical research space within this Indigenous/non-Indigenous research initiative and lays out intentions for the road ahead.

The introduction of audiovisual language on communicative models of modern society is an uprising constant which has made it the leading communicative method amongst new generations over overcoming written media. In this paper, the authors focus on how important is use of video tutorial in university teaching as an efficient and accessible resource in the teaching and learning processes. They may introduce the initiative developed by the La Laguna University called ‘ULLmedia Express yourself’ which combines teaching staff’s training work for the creation of video tutorials applied to teaching with the needed infrastructure for its production. This initiative seeks extension of video tutorial tool and its many aspects in university teaching without meaning additional costs for the institution, promoting ‘communicative closeness’ between teacher and students as well as creative and innovating spirit from teachers in their professional duties.

Full textAbstract:
This study is aimed at soliciting pubic primary school teachers’ viewpoints on use and utility of teacher guides, an initiative of government of the Punjab. Data were collected through focus group discussions of male and female teachers from District Sargodha. Teachers were asked to discuss need, importance and use of teacher guide and to suggest ways to improve. Focus group discussions were audio recorded, transcribed and analyzed for extracting themes. It was found that teachers acknowledged the need and importance of teacher guide for better teaching. It was noted from their discussion that teachers used Guides for lesson planning and activities but use of teacher guide was not optimal. Some of the teachers were using it in best possible way, while majority were using it occasionally. They highlighted difficulties and challenges like high workload, language of teacher guides and lack of learning material required for suggested activities. The y suggested revising guides for language, removing inconsistencies with respect to schedule of guide and academic calendar. They also suggested lower workload of teachers by recruiting new teachers, providing teachers with training to use guides and making monitoring and supervision more rigorous.

In particular, the philosophical and pedagogical and organizational and managerial ideas of a scientist- philosopher and teacher, a long-time rector of Poltava V. G. Korolenko State Pedagogical Institute have been discovered. Pedagogy of humanity of Academician I. Ziaziun through the system of professional training in Poltava V. G. Korolenko State Pedagogical Institute – the formation of a person, the formation of a strategy for person’s development and self-development, the basis of which is the value-semantic constituency of a man have been estimated from the diachronic-synchronous positions. A significant feature in the research is given to the ideas of the personal subject-subject and environment approaches to the training of the future teacher, the idea of forming the image of a higher educational institution as a leader of the region, self-management and autonomy of higher education institutions. Moreover, the system of professional training (careful selection and individual work with young people who show a tendency to pedagogical activity) through the establishment (on the initiative and with the direct participation of Ivan Ziaziun) a comprehensive target program «Teacher» (School – teacher – school), and its implementation into schools with the help of introduction of an optional course «Young teacher», with the help of selecting institutions that interviewed university entrants, and recommended those who are capable to study in higher educational institutions. The constituents of Ivan Ziaziun's humanistic conception are presented in the projection on the basis of the continuity of education postulates: formal, nonformal, and informal. In this aspect, the following priorities were determined such as training at Poltava Pedagogical Institute, first of all through the introduction of the special course «Fundamentals of Pedagogical Teaching Excellence», the opening of blended majors, additional qualifications at the Faculty of Public Professions, through the development of informal artistic and educational activities in higher education, which has its contemporary creative sustainable development. Exclusive attention was paid to Poltava Pedagogical Institute as a leader of higher educational institutions during the rectorship of Ivan Ziaziun and the rector himself.

Abstract Training for teachers of religion in Switzerland has so far shown a broad variety and plurality of different aims and models, due to the plurality of cantonal frameworks and different political understanding of Religion Education in school. The article describes that due to the process of Bologna and the political initiative of a nationwide common curriculum for all school subjects (Lehrplan 21) the development of standardized models of Religious Education as well as teacher training is underway. It also shows that faculties and colleges of education have already developed specific training models, which in this article are presented exemplarily. But these developments so far lack a clear understanding of which competences teachers should acquire through these educational measures and which role theology and religious education could play in this context of academic and professional education.

In 2014, the newly inaugurated Government of Panama launched the Panamá Bilingüe initiative, considering that sustainable development demanded taking emergency measures to improve the teaching of English in public schools. The program is designed to impact at least 250,000 students in a five-year period, gradually training approximately ten thousand pre-service and experienced English teachers. Using a narrative inquiry method, twelve teachers who sojourned for eight weeks in the United States, England, and Scotland under the program were interviewed after their return, to study their perceptions of the benefits and challenges of cultural and linguistic immersion on EFL teacher development, and how it specifically affected their teaching skills. The teachers appreciated practicing English in an immersion environment, learned new teaching techniques, and reflected on their prior knowledge and practices. Nevertheless, they felt that the ESL approach prevalent at the host universities responds to needs that differ from those they deal with in Panama, where the low proficiency of primary school teachers and inadequate school facilities are major obstacles to teaching and learning English.

This study helps infant teachers practice a constructivism-based teacher education program that supports infant mathematical inquiry activities and examines improvements in mathematical teaching knowledge, mathematical teaching initiatives, mathematical interaction, constructivism belief and mathematical teaching efficacy. Twenty two experiment group infant teachers and twenty two comparison group infant teachers were chosen at two workforce educare centers. The experiment group infant teachers participated in 18 sessions of a constructivism teacher training program for 8 weeks, but the comparison group infant teachers did not take part in the program. Pretest and post-tests were implemented for the mathematical teaching knowledge, mathematical teaching initiatives, mathematical interactions, constructivism belief and mathematical teaching efficacy in the experiment group. Independent sample t-test and ANCOVA were tested using Windows SPSS statistics 21.0. The homogeneity test for the experiment and comparison group revealed significant differences. ANCOVA was carried out after the pretest score was controlled as a co-variance. Significant differences were indicated in mathematical teaching knowledge, mathematical teaching initiative, mathematical interaction, constructivism belief and mathematical teaching efficacy. The results indicated that a constructivism-based teacher education program to support infant mathematical inquiry activities influenced improvements in mathematical teaching knowledge, mathematical teaching initiative, mathematical interaction, constructivism belief and mathematical teaching efficacy. This study proved the effects of the program based on constructivism theory content for the knowledge, skills and attitude about infant teaching of mathematical initiatives and practiced a program of exploration, investigation, application and assessment for infant teachers. The results can help infant teachers teach mathematical exploration activities and help activate infant mathematical exploration activities.

Full textAbstract:
Online courses are becoming ubiquitous and increasingly tend to use authentic learning tasks as the driving force for teaching and learning. Nevertheless, designing online courses that incorporate real– world tasks is more challenging as these problems require more cognitive processes (van Merriënboer Sluijsmans, 2009). This phenomenon can be explained by Cognitive Load Theory (CLT) introduced by Sweller (1994). CLT distinguishes three types of cognitive load: intrinsic, extraneous and germane load. The level of intrinsic load is assumed to be determined by the level of element interactivity. An element can be a definition, concept, formula and procedure that needs to be or has been learned. Extraneous load is mainly imposed by instructional procedures that are suboptimal, whereas germane load refers to the learners’ working memory resources available to deal with the complexity of the task or learning material (Sweller, 2010). Accordingly, the experienced cognitive load is mainly dependent of students’ prior knowledge. Nevertheless, cognitive load can also be determined by students’ motivation (Feldon, Franco, Chao, Peugh, Maahs-Fladung, 2018; Verhoeven, Schnotz, Paas, 2009). As a consequence, when designing an online course for complex tasks, it is important to understand how the different types of cognitive load are affected by students’ cognitive and motivational characteristics. Therefore, in the current study, a high and low complex task was developed relating to the learning and teaching of geometry. The complexity of the task was manipulated by increasing the element interactivity for the high complex task (Sweller, 2010). In the low complex task one element was questioned each time, and consequently students had to apply a single rule, formula or procedure. By contrast, the high complex task was based on a real-life context (e.g., teaching geometry), and had higher element interactivity. Subsequently, the high complex task required learners to engage in a series of cognitive activities such as analysing, decision making, implementing and evaluating, while holding several procedures and rules in mind. Accordingly, we expected the high complex task to induce more cognitive load. The same amount of support containing the same content, was provided during both tasks. Consequently, in this context, students could take initiative in diagnosing their learning needs by identifying appropriate support. Since students could consult different amounts of support, this self-directed learning strategy could also influence the perceived cognitive load (van Merriënboer Sluijsmans, 2009). Accordingly, the amount of consulted support was also taken into account during the analyses. The aim of the study was twofold. First, as a manipulation check of task complexity, we investigated differences in the experienced cognitive load while solving a high and low complex task. Secondly, we examined whether students’ cognitive and motivational characteristics influence the different types of perceived cognitive load, when taking into account the amount of consulted support for both the high and low complex task. A multivariate approach was chosen to assess the degree of interplay that may exist among students’ cognitive, motivational characteristics, consultation of support and the different types of perceived cognitive load. By conducting this study, we wanted to gain insight into whether the cognitive, motivational characteristics and consultation of support influence the perceived cognitive load differently for a high and low complex task.

The article deals with the problem of future teachers' professional training of physical education through sports games. One of the main challenges facing the higher education system is the task of training a competent specialist in the broader field, further enhancing basic education and bringing it closer to research and practical professional activity. The effectiveness of sports games in promoting the harmonious development of personality is explained by: their specific competitive activity; deep versatile impact on the body of those engaged in the development of physical qualities and the development of vital motor skills; accessibility for people of all ages and preparedness; emotional charge; a unique sight that no other sport can match. That is why sports games are widely represented in physical education in general and vocational education institutions.
Sports games help shape the basics physical and spiritual culture of the individual, increasing health resources as value systems that are actively and long-term implemented in a healthy way life. The great role of sports games is manifested in the formation of the conscious the need to master the values of health, physical culture and sports; physical improvement and promotion of health as a condition of achievement and achievement high level of professionalism in socially significant activities that ensures the achievement of the necessary and sufficient level of physical qualities, systems of motor skills; mastering knowledge at the level of skills independent classes and the ability to attract others.
The modern professionally trained specialist of physical culture has to meet the following basic requirements: to have a thorough and versatile knowledge, a wide erudition, which allow to adapt to the rapidly changing social needs; differ in flexibility of the mind, be initiative, be creative in the case; treat sports games as the first vital ones.

The Covid-19 pandemic forced institutions of higher education to adopt agile leadership behaviors. The current research aims to examine how the leadership at the Ohalo teacher training college in Israel dealt with the crisis caused by the pandemic. The research hypothesis, predicting a positive relationship between the college leadership’s decisions and lecturers’ positive evaluations regarding these decisions, was confirmed.
Previous research has given scant attention to the relationship between running an academic institution and applying principles of adaptive leadership during a crisis. This article presents a case study of adaptive leadership at an academic institution during the Covid-19 pandemic. The conclusions suggest that ensuring the continued functioning of an organization during a crisis requires skills and competencies reflecting multifaceted and adaptive leadership, agility, and direct channels of reciprocal, cooperative communication. Opportunities for initiative taking should be provided, and a consistent policy must be maintained that aims to “flatten the hierarchy curve.”

Currently, the educational activity of a teacher is always facing many challenges to which teacher must respond and timely resolve. Training for an educational career starts since the first academic year and continues during all the study years within the license cycle. But the student should not be trained only at theoretical level but also to be put in the situation to apply the theoretical knowledge and skills acquired, during the traineeships. Such traineeships shall develop under the coordination of a group of experts who help the student and render him/her in the role of instructional – educational process coordinator. To this end, the group of experts benefits of a set of coaching methods that facilitates the activity during the traineeship. Those methods could not be arbitrary used but in connection to the traineeship contents and goals. All such initiative has the role to prepare the student for the educational career he/she opted for.

Making students skillful is the ultimate aim of teaching. The teacher who feel that their jobs are over once they explain and demonstrates the lesson in the class is certainly on the defective side of thinking. Rather,students must be guided towardsthe objectives of learning demonstrated through modeling, and given ample practice to handle learning independently. This paper elucidates various techniques available forskill development by studying the case of 75 students. Their views regarding learning were gathered through a questionnaire. A statistical analysis of their views was carried out, after which they were given a skill to practice through a selected technique which they considered asthe most effective technique for skill development. It was empirically concluded thatstudentslearned the skill more rapidly when they are allowed to use their initiative and judgment in a mutual practice technique of skill development. At the end, guidelines for effective skill development have been suggested which could be adopted by teacher for skill training of students

The initiative of the Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET) in South Africa to strengthen foundation phase teaching has resulted in the development of new foundation phase (Grades R–3) programmes at institutions that did not previously offer them. In this article we reflect on the conceptualisation and development of a pre-service language curriculum for one such programme. We base our discussion on principles that underpin teacher education programme development for early childhood education and on issues and insights about appropriate language curriculum content for a foundation phase teacher. Whilst awaiting the outcome of our accreditation, the authors, as two of the persons who assisted in the design of the language curriculum, thought it appropriate to subject the curriculum to an internal scrutiny whilst we prepare to offer the programme. This internal dialogue is informed by the literature on early language development, particularly in multilingual contexts such as in South Africa.

This paper proposes a solution for carrying out laboratory work in the strict conditions of the Covid - 19 pandemic. The traditional laboratory can be replaced by the virtual laboratory or the remote laboratory, depending on the requirements of the course and the skills required for the training of engineers. The environment for performing alternative laboratory work (Virtual or Remote Laboratory) is the Multisim software from National Instruments. The student with the help of this software can make the electrical circuits provided in the curriculum of the discipline of General Electrical Engineering. This paper presents four examples of alternative laboratory works for the field of electrical engineering, namely, three-phase electrical circuits, static electrical converters, asynchronous motor and electric drive system. The student can simulate the required regimes in the laboratory guide and is free to simulate other regimes at his own initiative. The paper ends with the proposal of a step-by-step algorithm, which can be a guide for any teacher who wants to organize alternative laboratory work.

Full textAbstract:
The article discusses the genesis of pedagogical courses in the history of Russian education, from the mid-1860s, when they were created, to 1917. The acute shortage of teaching staff in some periods of Russian history dictated the need to find innovative solutions for teacher training. The historical realities of the post-reform 1860s–1870s, when the number of educational institutions in Russia increased significantly, led to the birth of pedagogical courses. Teacher training courses also contributed to the eradication of illiteracy in the early Soviet period. Since the second half of the twentieth century up to the present day courses as a form of training and retraining of teachers remain in the system of additional professional education. The aim of the study was to identify and substantiate the reasons that contributed to the formation and development of pedagogical courses in the system of pedagogical education in Russia. This article uses a set of historical-pedagogical research methods: historical and genetic method, source and historiography analysis, comparative pedagogical method, content analysis. As a result of the use of the causal method of research, the following reasons were identified. Firstly, the development of primary and secondary education in the country required the replenishment of the teacher corps. Secondly, the Russian education system oriented to the best foreign experience, primarily European, in which, by the middle of the 19th century, pedagogical courses took shape as an element of the system of professional training of teachers. Thirdly, the liberal nature of the post-reform policies contributed to the expansion of the rights to teacher education. Fourthly, the public and private initiative developed. Fifthly, the state supported the idea of pedagogical courses, fixed them in legislation and partially funded them. Sixthly, low-cost courses compared to other forms of professional training of teachers. The spread of pedagogical courses in the second half of the 19th century is due to the fact that zemstvos did not have sufficient funds to open teacher seminaries, so they opened short-term permanent courses for the training of teachers of public schools. Until 1917, there were both public and private pedagogical courses in Russia. They were financed mainly by zemstvos, but were under the control of state governing bodies. The courses played an important role in the training of teachers for primary and secondary education. They became a real phenomenon in the life of the Russian school of the second half of the 19th – early 20th centuries. The spread of pedagogical courses was due to the fact that they made it possible to train teachers in a short time at low cost. It is no coincidence that, as a form of professional training, pedagogical courses were in demand by the Soviet school and are still an important component of the system of continuous pedagogical education.

Full textAbstract:
This article discusses professional insertion, aiming to understand what learning, challenges and implications this phase of teacher education has for the pedagogical practice of a pedagogue who works in Early Childhood Education in the municipal education network of Fortaleza -Ceará. The research, developed in 2019, used the qualitative approach, carrying out a case study. For data production, a mixed electronic questionnaire (phase I of the research) and a narrative interview (phase II of the research) were used. For the analysis, the Discursive Textual Analysis method was adopted. The theoretical basis of this study used studies related to professional insertion(MARCELO GARCIA, 1999; HUBERMAN, 2007)and teaching learning(OLIVEIRA-FORMOSINHO, 2002; TARDIF, 2002; PLACCO; SOUZA, 2006; PIMENTA, 2009), specifically in the context of Early Childhood Education. The data revealed that the teacher experienced, in parallel, the feelings of survival and discovery of the profession; teaching learning came from personal initiative through the continuous search for knowledge, in addition to interaction with peers and classroom experience; and the lack of institutional support was listed as one of the main challenges for entering the profession. We conclude, therefore, that it is necessary to plan and implement public educational policies aimed specifically at the systematic monitoring of beginning teachers, aiming at promoting institutional processes of induction that meet the training needs of this stage of professional teacher training. In addition, we ratify the need to expand collaboration between school and university to favor teaching learning through experiences that promote the articulation between theory and practice.
