{"title":"DEVELOPING PRESERVICE SCIENCE TEACHERS’ PEDAGOGICAL CONTENT KNOWLEDGE THROUGH REFLECTION ON LESSON PLANNING","authors":"Lydia Mavuru","doi":"10.36315/2023v1end019","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.36315/2023v1end019","url":null,"abstract":"Reflection is one of the subjects most discussed in teacher development. Despite its importance in improving teacher practices, reflection has been found to be contentious amongst teachers who battle with high workload and the need to complete the curriculum in time for examinations. Thus, said reflection can be viewed as a chore to most teachers particularly preservice teachers who not only need to master the pedagogical knowledge and subject matter knowledge but also classroom management techniques amongst other skills. The current paper reports on a study on how lesson planning was used as a tool to develop preservice teachers’ pedagogical content knowledge through reflection. In a qualitative case study, 50 Bachelor of Education Life Sciences students in their final year of study were each tasked to identify their ‘best’ lesson plan and ‘worst’ lesson plan and critically reflect on why they considered the lesson plans that way. These lesson plans had been designed and taught in schools during schoolwork experience (herein referred to as work integrated learning (WIL) in the first half of the year. Data was obtained from each participant’s submission of the two lesson plans and the reflection, which were then subjected to content analysis. The following aspects about lesson planning were considered: knowledge of the content to be taught, knowledge of the learners including classroom context, formulation of objectives, designing of teaching and learning strategies and activities, assessment opportunities, planning for technology use, and the student’s ability to realise good and bad practices in lesson planning. Thereafter they were tasked to plan and teach in their last seven weeks of WIL. The findings showed how the preservice teachers were determined to improve their lesson planning as they included in their reflections how they could plan and teach the same lesson differently including the so-called best lesson plan. Preservice teachers used words such as deficit, unstructured, misaligned, unattainable, not well thought out, to critique their lesson plans. Creativity as an aspect of the teacher skills set was evident in the way these 21st century teachers conceptualised how science should be taught. There were however some who failed to identify obvious weaknesses or strengths in their lessons plans, which showed stagnancy in development. The findings provide implications for teacher professional development practices","PeriodicalId":93546,"journal":{"name":"Education and new developments","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78635368","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}

They are used in all areas of everyday life and industrial applications. Thanks to this fact, it is necessary for current and new professionals to be trained and educated in the given theory. Part of this theory, in which our students are educated is the state space analysis of power systems, which represents their mathematical descriptions. Therefore, we created multiple simulation models of many power electronic systems. These models are used by students to verify the correctness of the performed state space analysis of the systems and to compare their results with classical circuit wiring diagram. The aim of such a simulation models is to introduce students to the variety of possibilities to analyze power electronic systems, understanding of their functionality, and also their open loop or closed loop control. There are also other benefits, like deeper understanding of mathematical skills. This paper describes multiple simulation models (topologies) of power systems, their analysis and control.","PeriodicalId":93546,"journal":{"name":"Education and new developments","volume":"237 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76978334","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}

Method: The work was carried out in two phases: elaboration and application of the RTI program; followed by a clinical significance analysis of the children’s performance in pre and post-test situations. Participants: The initial sample comprised 71 children (age from 6 years to 6 years and 11 months, of both sexes) from two public schools (groups GI and GII). These were submitted to a pre-assessment protocol: Attention Screening Test by digit cancellation; Five Digit Test; Digit Span subtest, Track Testing, and Protocol for Early Identification of Reading Problems. Risk for difficulty in executive function was presented by 18/37 of the participants that completed the pre-assessment protocol and these were selected for the intervention program. Results: There was a reliable improvement in the components of executive function inhibition, working memory and alternation, for some children and in rhyme identification tasks, phoneme production, and phonological working memory, although the program does not focus on its development. Conclusion: The program we elaborated demonstrated applicability and can be used by educational speech therapists, school psychologists and educators as a scientific evidence-based intervention tool to support the development of executive functions in second-tier RTI programs.","PeriodicalId":93546,"journal":{"name":"Education and new developments","volume":"23 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74639008","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}

Inspiration is one of the most important things in the teaching profession, teachers are always looking for new inspiration and ideas, what to do in their classrooms. And when the teachers lack inspiration, they try to find it, not in the books anymore, but on the internet. In this study the content of the biggest Czech Facebook group for preschool teacher “Inspiration for preschool teachers” (nearly 40 000 members) was analyzed. Because according to the Czech Statistical Office (2022) there are only 33 156 preschool teachers in the Czech Republic, only the posts that were clearly from preschool teachers were included in this research. The main goal was to identify what kind of inspiration the teachers are looking for on Facebook, and what kind of inspiration are the teachers sharing in this group. From 623 posts (month and a half of posts) the following themes and characteristics were identified: Planning (activities in general, songs, fairy tales & rhymes, art, movement games, group activities, literacy, dramatization, math and themes). Equipment (art supplies, IT supplies, decorations, furniture, specific pictures or books), External programmes; Education. With the most common theme being questions about planning, specifically activities in general, when the teachers have a given theme and are asking for any activity related to this theme. From the second research question “what kind of inspiration are the teachers sharing” were following themes and categories identified: Activities (art, math, literacy, inquiry-based learning, movement activities, graphomotoric, dramatization, polytechnic, group activities, songs).

Beside fascinating and motivating children for STEM (Science Technology Engineering Mathematics) topics and giving a good career preparation, coding also can strengthen general skills like e.g. resilience, creativity and organization. On the other hand, there exist several publications by the OECD (Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development) describing future skills for children as well as issues of future education and work. Particularly the OECD has developed the “OECD Learning Compass 2030”. This work is divided into several concepts. Each concept describes different skills being relevant for the children future. In this contribution, we want to compare, contrast and merge these two fields of publications. Therefore, we examine an extensive literature review and give an overview about skills that can be imparted by teaching children to code. Then we take a look at OECD’s compass and general skills. Therefore, we analyze the publications of OECD and apply text extraction to get relevant keywords of skills. Subsequently, we compare the coding skills with the OECD skills and look which aspects of the OECD compass can be fulfilled by teaching to code. As a result, we can note that attaining many of the OECD future skills can be supported by teaching children to code. We also have identified which skills cannot covered by coding resp. which additional benefits knowledge in coding offers. The paper concludes with a summary and an outlook. Future tasks are, e.g. examine at which age children should start learning to code, which are appropriate ways to teach and learn coding or concerning the question whether coding education should be realized as an one-size-fits-all approach or by applying internal differentiation.","PeriodicalId":93546,"journal":{"name":"Education and new developments","volume":"38 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87854987","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}

The main content of such studies is systematic creative scientific work with an emphasis on the topic of the dissertation. However, among other things, students usually participate in the management and preparation of teaching in bachelor or master study programmes to the required extent as a part of the study plan. Therefore, it is quite common for the students to teach on top of undertaking their research, and for this teaching practice, they should be provided with quality training on how to teach. In this context, the paper focuses on the multidisciplinary course “Didactic and Presentation Skills” for students of doctoral study programmes of one of the public universities in the Czech Republic. The course mainly covers the basics of university teaching, psychology and other areas that develop didactic and presentation skills of university members as often some will remain at the university in the positions of junior academics and scientists. In addition to the theoretical fundamentals, considerable space is devoted to seminars with video training of skills with their analysis and self-reflection. The aim of the paper is to introduce the current experience of the university institute of a Czech university with the development of doctoral students' competences needed for teaching. Furthermore, the results of the course evaluation in the academic year 2021/2022 from the perspective of doctoral students are presented. Among the topics provided, the respondents themselves attach the greatest weight to practical seminars on didactic and presentation skills, which they put in first place. Theory of communication and presentation skills and educational evaluation and educometrics are also considered essential by respondents, closely followed by the use of digital technologies in education, university pedagogy, psychological aspects of teaching, and activation methods. The study confirms the importance of preparing novice PhD students to adapt in teaching, to feel comfortable in a large auditorium, and to be confident in various situations that may happen at any time.","PeriodicalId":93546,"journal":{"name":"Education and new developments","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136084980","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}
