These named skills can be varied until the ability to make contextual, metaphoric and philosophic understanding can be the interpretation level and can identify the complexity of an image. The ability to interpret, negotiate, and make meaning from visual information as presented in an image, on a diagram, or on a single photo may go a long way in a modern liberal education. All kind of images, who saturate our daily lives through social media require a heightened level of visual literacy from both sides, this of the teacher and that of the educated to be. Social sciences and health sciences, rely heavily on images as data sources and require a serious level of visual literacy to understand the scientific world. On the other hand arts, literature, film use the conventions of visual language – symbols, images, sound – and suppose to make them accessible almost to everyone. To analyze authentic film messages requires interpretive comprehension skills such as making inferences on cause and effect, logic and impact, identifying point of view, and considering the specific techniques used to construct an arete, meaning an arete, as defined in ancient Greek paideia. People of modern world, as personalities and active citizens, instead of being passive recipients of media, can be creative and actively engaged with the medium of picture. Visuals appear to be both as proposition and as evidence; on the other hand, they are used to document, to design, to model, to experience virtually and to show the visible and non-visible. Using visuals in scientific studies requires solid research, interpretation and evaluation skills particular to the innovative visual materials.","PeriodicalId":346264,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on Research in Teaching and Education","volume":"220 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123358548","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
{"title":"Developing a Workshop Using Double-Loop Learning to Enhance Student Teachers’ Reflection","authors":"Sasaki Hironori","doi":"10.33422/2ND.RTECONF.2020.03.46","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.33422/2ND.RTECONF.2020.03.46","url":null,"abstract":"The Faculty Student Teacher Professional Development course, which the author of this article teaches, decided to introduce a “reflective practitioner model” in 2014. Consequently, the faculty has developed several workshops of reflection to help student teachers to reflect their teaching practice as reflective practitioners so far. However, the student teachers’ reflection tended to pertain to their underlying values and assumptions. Therefore, a development of workshop to facilitate the student teachers’ reflection beyond their espoused theory and theory-in-use was required in this study. Argyris (1976) proposed “double loop learning theory” which was relevant to learning to change underlying values and assumptions. The focal point of the theory is how to solve problems that are complex and ill-structured like teaching practice. Double loop theory is based upon a “theory of action” perspective outlined by Argyris & Schon (1974). The distinction between an individual’s espoused theory and their “theory-in-use” (what they actually do) is an important aspect of the theory. It is necessary to interact with others in order to identify the conflict. There are four basic steps in double loop theory learning process. Therefore, the workshop was developed adapting the four steps. 78 students who experienced teaching practice in kindergarten were divided into groups and implemented the workshop in 2019. Their assumptions underlying current views were questioned and hypotheses about behavior tested in the workshop. As a result, it was clarified that the workshop using double loop learning had enhanced the student teachers’ reflection beyond their espoused theory and theory-in-use.","PeriodicalId":346264,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on Research in Teaching and Education","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133326029","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
