El personal educativo (PE) es una figura que provee soporte físico y emocional al niño, y su interacción contribuye al desarrollo del lenguaje. A su vez, se ha demostrado que la mentalización y ...sensibilidad del adulto son competencias que influyen en el desarrollo infantil. El objetivo de este estudio fue identificar la asociación de la sensibilidad y mentalización del PE sobre el desarrollo del lenguaje de los niños a los 12 y 30 meses, controlando la sensibilidad y mentalización del apoderado. La muestra estuvo compuesta por 78 diadas PE-niño que asistían a centros de educación inicial de Santiago de Chile. Los resultados mostraron una asociación entre la escala de sensibilidad “interacción lúdica” del PE y el lenguaje expresivo de los niños a los 12 meses, lo cual predijo un mayor lenguaje a los 30 meses. No se observaron asociaciones entre mentalización y lenguaje a los 12 meses; únicamente efectos predictivos a los 30 meses.
La incorporación de las TIC en las escuelas ha provocado replantear el sistema de enseñanza tradicional. A pesar de que estudios previos han señalado que los docentes mantienen una concepción ...positiva de la aplicación de las TIC, todavía no se ha alcanzado una plena integración de las mismas en los procesos de enseñanza-aprendizaje. Por ello, diversos estudios se han centrado en el estudio de los principales factores que influyen sobre el uso de las TIC, concluyendo que se requiere un enfoque multivariado contemplando factores personales y contextuales. El objetivo del presente estudio consistió en analizar de qué manera distintas variables personales y contextuales influyen sobre la integración de las TIC en las aulas en una muestra de profesores de Galicia. Los resultados de la estimación de modelos de ecuaciones estructurales señalan que disponibilidad de medios y competencias didácticas constituyen los principales factores moduladores del uso de las TIC en el aula, mientras que las competencias en manejo técnico serían un factor determinante en la adquisición de otros tipos de competencias en TIC. Además género y edad interaccionan de manera compleja con las otras variables, dando lugar a efectos moderados (género) o escasos (edad) sobre la integración de las TIC.
Purpose
This study aims to identify and classify various competences and competencies that educational leaders should essentially possess.
Design/methodology/approach
The systematic review of the ...literature was conducted to identify various competences of educational leaders in the institutions. Later, an empirical research was conducted. The data were analyzed through confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) using AMOS 20.0 to classify these competences according to their relative importance considering natural gaps in standardized beta (ß) values. In all, 96 administrators of 35 technical institutions of Punjab (India) offering engineering and management programs and 93 veteran educational experts had responded in a survey.
Findings
The results of the study identified five competences: pedagogical, leadership, innovative, research and evaluation competences. The competencies “help others in improvement and not blame circumstances”, “set high benchmarks” and “align class activities with learning objectives” have qualified among the “most important” competencies for the educational leaders.
Research limitations/implications
The sample was specific to one state. There may be the chances of response bias in a few situations. Therefore, there are few reservations in generalizing the findings.
Practical implications
The study has several implications for both the faculty and the technical education degree institutes. The study provides a link between the characteristics and competencies of educational leaders. This study also contributes in terms of mapping of these competencies while recruitment of the faculty to test whether the candidates possess the potential of becoming educational leaders.
Originality/value
The administrators can test these competencies in their faculty for the purpose of identifying both the educational leaders within their institutes and the potential educational leaders in future by assessing “requisite” and “important” competencies.
Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) is an educational approach that has been fostered as a way to increase students’ foreign language competence. However, its implementation has not ...always come along with the sufficient teacher training. This study aims to examine CLIL teachers’ competences and identify what training needs preservice language teachers have towards these competences. The participants of this study are pre-service primary and secondary foreign language teachers (n=44), CLIL teacher trainers, inspectors and CLIL coordinators (n=18). Peacock’s (2009) questionnaire is used to analyse pre-service teachers’ training needs towards language, self-reflection, methodological and classroom management competences. A semi-structured interview is used to elicit stake-holders’ perceptions towards CLIL teachers’ competences and training needs. The quantitative data shows that stakeholders believe that language, methodological and classroom management competences are equally necessary for a CLIL teacher. Apart from the initial domains analysed, participants consider that content knowledge and teamwork, interschool collaboration and material development competences are also relevant. In addition, training needs relative to these competences are found. However, considerable deep training needs for methodology and foreign language competence are identified. The findings have implications for CLIL teacher education.
Digital technologies have changed the ways texts are produced and displayed, and those changes have a profound impact on how students read. In Spain, the results in digital reading competence are ...below the OECD average, which proves to be a handicap for Spanish students. This article presents a case study in which we investigate, through a quantitative methodology, teachers’ perceptions on the main constraints for the effective development of a teaching methodology to improve digital reading competence of secondary students in Spain. The findings show how learning processes based on digital reading are still underdeveloped and teaching staff in a large majority expresses lack of preparation, training, and resources available in the school for the effective development of a teaching that encourages successful digital reading proficiency of students. It is important for governments, teachers, and students to meet these challenges as they affect almost every aspect of our daily routines.
The article presents a survey on teachers’ qualification for collaborating with parents of primary school children aged between 6 and 12. We investigated the most common difficulties that teachers ...face in communicating with parents and the way they tackle them. We differentiated the responses obtained according to the teachers’ years of service and the school environment they teach in. The teachers claimed that during their undergraduate studies, they had not received satisfactory training on how to communicate with parents. They believe they are not professionally qualified and they lack a wide array of competences which would facilitate their cooperation with parents. Some of the teachers’ observations are as follows: parents are generally willing to constructively exchange opinions about their children; some of them tend to overestimate their children’s abilities or are unequipped with skills on how to handle their child. One third of teacher respondents noted that they had experienced elements of aggressive behaviour in communicating with some parents. This is why we have introduced some guidelines which might help improve certain situations. In a learning society, teachers’ competences have been changing, becoming more complex and requiring teacher’s permanent professional advancement and adoption of modern educational trends. At the same time, we realise that communication is a twoway interdependent process. Along with the competences of a teacher, we must therefore also consider the competences of parents and their contribution to quality cooperation and effective communication.
The present paper intends to identify and analyse the teacher training models that exist in the European educational systems. The two professional training models, the simultaneous and successive ...ones, are found in most of the European countries. Both initial teacher training modules have advantages as well as disadvantages and exist in the European educational system both individually and at the simultaneously. The procedure we applied in our research is based on the comparative research of the European educational systems (length, structure, competences). We identified the types of teacher training systems and we made a comparative analysis of the most comprehensive educational systems, identifying and describing the teaching skills developed in the training programs.
2007 saw the publication of the European Portfolio for Student Teachers of Languages (EPOSTL), a tool for reflection and self-assessment to be used in initial teacher education. Whilst innovative in ...nature, its effectiveness depends on how it can be used to supplement existing teacher education programmes and thus to foster good practice. A follow-up EPOSTL project focused on trialling the EPOSTL in a number of teacher education institutions across Europe. In this paper, drawing on the experiences of users of the EPOSTL, both teacher educators and students, I illustrate what 'good practice' might mean and indicate seven ways in which the EPOSTL can play this supportive role.
