M.Ed. (Education) / South-Africa is on the verge of a new lifestyle, a new way of thinking and doing. The task thrust upon the teacher of today for preparing the adults of the future, is therefore a very important one. But the present teachers are not going to be there for ever, new teachers are entering the educational system all the time. The preparation of these new teachers is the focus of this study. Students qualifying as teachers need to undergo a programme of preparation to be professionally acceptable. The course of this study is both theoretical and practical. The student must have a fundamental knowledge of children, as well as the subject . matter that they must make fundamental for the children. If they know the child, and they know the subject matter, they should also be capable of conveying this knowledge successful]y to the child. This is a complex action that cannot be done only with knowledge from a book or books, but must be practised during the preparation of the students, otherwise no help can be given to the student. This is where practice teaching plays a very important role. The importance of practice teaching cannot be underestimated. The preparation of teachers may not be only theoretical or only practical, but an integration of the two aspects. With the theoretical foundation, the students set Qut for practice teaching. At the schools they interact with other teachers and with children, and prepare lessons to present to their supervisors. This is where different points of view occur over what really happened during the lesson, how the ,practice lesson should have been presented and how the student should have been evaluated on his performance. Lots of students do not think that these practice les80ns are worth while and the whole idea of practice teaching is lost. To counteract this negative feeling from students, research was done to determine which problems students experience during practice teaching. Some procedures have been identified as problems, and some procedures not. The feelings of the students were noted and the handling of practice teaching by all parties was investigated. To ensure that practice teaching has a profound impact on students, a form to evaluate the students was designed. This form aims to set aside some subjective measures that may result in negative attitudes by students. The evaluation forms of some universities and colleges have been evaluated to find a way of trying to motivate students through the process of evaluation during practice teaching.

Primeiramente, faz-se necessário ressaltar a importância deste tema para a área da Educação e para os cursos de formação de professores, pois ao escolhermos como fundamento para a discussão e analise os conhecimentos filosóficos, principalmente a Ética, defendemos uma concepção de homem como ser humano ético, ativo, criativo, questionador e consciente. Isso posto, ressaltamos a importância do professor mediador, valorizando a relação existente entre os envolvidos no processo educativo para o alcance da humanização da criança. Mesmo considerando os avanços em termos legais e de discurso teórico que consideram a criança como um sujeito de direitos, ativa e capaz e, ao mesmo tempo, reconhecem o professor de Educação Infantil como um profissional da educação, temos muito a refletir e a propor acerca das especificidades do fazer docente para esse momento da infância. Assim, o desafio que se estabelece com o intuito de pensar a formação e atuação dos Professores de crianças pequenas é demonstrar a importância da dimensão ética na atuação do professor de educação infantil, possibilitando condições para que as crianças sejam entendidas como partícipes do processo, objetivando uma educação humanizadora. Dessa forma, temos como problema de pesquisa a seguinte questão: Como a concepção ética do professor pode contribuir para uma atuação mais humanizador...

Firstly, it is necessary to emphasize the importance of this theme for the area of Education and for the courses of teacher training, because when we choose as the basis for the discussion and analysis of philosophical knowledge, especially Ethics, we defend a conception of man as being Human ethical, active, creative, questioning and conscious. That said, we emphasize the importance of the mediator teacher, valuing the relationship between those involved in the educational process to reach the humanization of the child. Even considering the advances in legal terms and theoretical discourse that consider the child as a subject of rights, active and capable and, at the same time, recognize the teacher of Early Childhood Education as a professional education, we have much to reflect and to propose about Of the specificities of teaching for this moment of childhood. Thus, the challenge to think about the training and performance of teachers of young children is to demonstrate the importance of the ethical dimension in the role of the child education teacher, enabling conditions for children to be understood as participants in the process, objectifying A humanizing education. Thus, we have as a research problem the following question: How can the ethical conception of the teacher contribute to a more humanizing and welcoming act...

Most science teachers in public schools across the nation are young, White women entering classrooms that are increasingly racially and culturally diverse. While the science classroom is becoming increasingly diverse, science careers continue to be exclusive of students of color, women, and English language learners. Assessments, as pedagogical practices, are the most impactful gatekeepers in determining the successes or failures of all students in science. Therefore, teacher-designed formative assessments serve to construct or damage student science identity. It is important to better understand how teacher-designed assessments represent science teacher identity so that we can better understand how they influence student science identity. In the following research study, I examine the narratives shared by four early-career teachers around their development of science teacher identity and navigation around developing formative assessment practices in their classrooms. In this work, I use a reflective practice lens to examine how science teacher identities are co-constructed during completion of a preservice performance assessment and during one induction year and how those identities inform the ways that teachers set goals for assessment. Through the interpretation of data sources including interviews, observation notes, portfolio assessments, and inquiry groups, I present the experiences, identities, and values in setting goals for assessments that four early-career science teachers shared. Across these data sources, I draw attention to findings around a) the language and positioning that the participants shared as they grew into their roles as science teachers; b) the ways that participant identities informed their goals for assessments and student learning, and c) the ways that teacher-designed formative assessments represented the identities of four early-career middle and secondary school teachers. I conclude with implications for teacher education strategies for building responsive and reflective assessment practices, for teacher education support for science teacher identity construction, and future research around identity in teacher education portfolio assessments.

The purpose of this study was to determine whether participation in an instructional module on procedures for individualizing instruction produced results different from those produced by a traditional education approach with respect to the performance, attitude, self-concept, and dogmatism of special education student teachers. The findings were (1) there was no significant difference between the experimental and comparison groups with respect to teaching-performance; (2) the experimental group's mean self-evaluation teaching-performance score was significantly different in a negative direction than the mean self-evaluation teaching-performance score for the comparison group; (3) both groups had positive correlations between teaching-performance scores and self-evaluation scores, but the experimental group had a significantly higher correlation; (4) there was no significant difference between the experimental group and the comparison group with respect to change in attitudes; (5) there was no significant difference between the experimental and comparison groups with respect to the degree of change in self-concept, and (6) there was no significant difference between the experimental and comparison groups with respect to degree of change in dogmatism.
