Formative Evaluation of Three LDS Videos on Teaching ImprovementMacfarlane, Danielle Jorgensen 16 March 2011 (has links) (PDF)
The Sunday School General Presidency of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints launched a new effort in 2010 to improve gospel learning and teaching by producing a series of short video vignettes illustrating teaching principles. This formative evaluation was conducted during the development process to determine how teachers and leaders in the Church might use these videos and the degree to which they feel the videos might be useful in improving their own teaching. Results show that in general the vignettes were well received. The majority of participants rated the videos as relevant to their needs—noting specific successes in terms of story and style that helped them learn and feel motivated to take action in their own teaching. However, one key difference emerged in the effectiveness of one video as compared to the other two in that participants felt it lacked authenticity. Data analysis also led to conclusions about improving future videos and offered ideas for other resources. Major recommendations include eliminating distracting elements in the presentation of future videos and addressing accessibility barriers that will lead to broader implementation.

Discursos em luta : a produção do docente universitário num programa de aperfeiçoamento pedagógicoDalpiaz, Maria Martha January 2012 (has links)
Esta Tese trata de modos de constituição de subjetividades, num programa institucional, destinado ao aperfeiçoamento pedagógico de professores universitários de diferentes áreas de atuação, na Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS). Este Programa objetiva produzir novos significados sobre ser um profissional do ensino, mediante discussões sobre formas de conceber o ensinar e o aprender em diferentes campos discursivos. Realizou-se, nesta pesquisa, uma análise do Programa, especialmente da XI Edição (2003-2004), descrevendo sua instauração e também as modalidades de trabalhos realizados com e pelos professores-alunos. Fundamentado teórica e metodologicamente em Michel Foucault, este estudo se baseia nos conceitos de discurso, prática discursiva, poder, enunciado, formação discursiva, sujeito e heterogeneidade discursiva. A análise centraliza-se na descrição dos modos de ser sujeito que se produzem com a instauração desse Programa, que, por si, já é portador de enunciados. Nas análises realizadas, desde a perspectiva do poder relacional e com base em uma perspectiva histórica, foi possível demonstrar, mediante a identificação das regras que regulavam os diferentes modos de ser sujeito, que estes transitavam em diferentes formações discursivas sobre educação no ensino superior, evidenciando embates, que remetem às resistências do poder. / This thesis is about the ways subjectivities are constructed in an institutional teacher education program for professors from different areas at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS in Portuguese). This program aims at constructing new meanings for being an education professional throughout discussions on how to understand teaching and learning in different discursive fields. In this work this program was analyzed, especially its 11th Edition (2003-2004), describing its establishment as well as the types of activities done with and by the teacher-students. Theoretically and methodologically based on Michel Foucault, this research builds on the concepts of discourse, discursive practice, power, statement, discursive formation, subject, and discursive heterogeneity. The analysis centers on the description of the ways of being a subject constructed in this program establishment, which are statements themselves. In the analysis done, taking into account relational power based on a historical perspective, it was possible to show that, through the identification of the rules that regulate the different ways of being subject that they were part of different discursive formations about Higher Education showing clashes that refer to power resistance.

Teacher Training Via Digital Apprenticeship to Master Teachers of Arabic: Exposure, Reflection, and Replication as Instruments for Change in Novice Instructor Teaching StylePalmer, Jeremy L. 06 July 2005 (has links) (PDF)
The Modern Language Association (MLA) recently reported that from 1998 to 2002 there was a 92% increase in Arabic programs throughout the United States. With the increase in media coverage of current events in the Middle East, more and more students are desiring to learn about the region's languages and cultures. More teachers of Arabic are needed to meet this growing demand for Arabic instruction. This thesis investigates whether deliberate intervention via explicit and implicit exposure to the instructional behavior, skills, and strategies of master teachers of Arabic, combined with replication thereof, as well as critical personal reflection, positively alters instructor-teaching style (style, defined as behavior and beliefs in Katz, 1996). This thesis is also an attempt to provide an exportable model for the training of novice instructors of Arabic. One model currently being developed by the National Middle East Language Resource Center (NMELRC) is based on video footage of Muhammad Eissa, a master teacher of Arabic, made available by Brigham Young University, as well as additional footage from NMELRC's summer teacher development seminars. The model supports the first two semesters of Arabic instruction, including a set of DVDs of Dr. Muhammad Eissa teaching and interacting with students in a live classroom. The model also includes explicit training footage captured on DVDs from a two-week training seminar that took place at Middlebury College in Middlebury, Vermont, in the summer of 2003. My thesis investigates two types of training in this model: first, implicit training via exposure to Muhammad Eissa, accompanied with various reflective activities; and second, explicit training by way of exposure to, and discussion of, specific pedagogical issues via footage from the 2003 training seminar for instructors of Arabic at Middlebury College. It is hoped that my research will serve as a training model for teacher trainers and language program coordinators at institutions of higher education that desire to offer Arabic courses.

Развој наставних инструкција у активној настави физике / Razvoj nastavnih instrukcija u aktivnoj nastavi fizike / Modern teaching methods aimed at increasing the efficiency of learning in physicsHajduković-Jandrić Gordana 22 January 2016 (has links)
<p>Предмет овог истраживања су ефекти два типа наставне инструкције: традиционалнe, и експерименталне-наставне инструкције засноване на aктивној настави физике. У раду су приказане проблемска настава и научни метод као наставне инструкције у aктивној настави физике. Научни метод који је предмет овог истраживања заснива се на једноставним огледима у физици који не захтевају скупу опрему и могу се реализовати уз минимум наставних средстава која су доступна сваком - 230 -ученику. Приказани су резултати истраживања спроведеног са циљем испитивања утицаја примењених наставних инструкција у настави<br />физике, на резултат укупног образовног учинка, трајности стечених знања као и разумевање аспеката природе науке и научног истраживања у односу на традиционалну наставу. Испитивање је извршено као педагошки експеримент типа<br />паралелних група, на узорку шестих и осмих разреда основне школе „Мирослав Антић“ и „Десанка Максимовић“ у Футогу. Утврђено је постојање значајне разлике у трајности задржавања знања као и бржем и темељнијем усвајању наставних садржаја применом наставних инструкција у aктивној настави физике у односу на традиционалну наставу. Анализа резултата финалног теста указује на позитиван тренд разумевања скоро свих аспеката природе науке у експерименталним групама. Главни недостатак у примени ових наставних инструкција представљају индивидуалне разлике ученика у брзини решавања постављеног проблема, као и недостатак адекватне литературе која би подржалa овакав облик наставе.</p> / <p>Predmet ovog istraživanja su efekti dva tipa nastavne instrukcije: tradicionalne, i eksperimentalne-nastavne instrukcije zasnovane na aktivnoj nastavi fizike.

Ispitivanje je izvršeno kao pedagoški eksperiment tipa<br />paralelnih grupa, na uzorku šestih i osmih razreda osnovne škole „Miroslav Antić“ i „Desanka Maksimović“ u Futogu. Utvrđeno je postojanje značajne razlike u trajnosti zadržavanja znanja kao i bržem i temeljnijem usvajanju nastavnih sadržaja primenom nastavnih instrukcija u aktivnoj nastavi fizike u odnosu na tradicionalnu nastavu. Analiza rezultata finalnog testa ukazuje na pozitivan trend razumevanja skoro svih aspekata prirode nauke u eksperimentalnim grupama. Glavni nedostatak u primeni ovih nastavnih instrukcija predstavljaju individualne razlike učenika u brzini rešavanja postavljenog problema, kao i nedostatak adekvatne literature koja bi podržala ovakav oblik nastave.</p> / <p>The subject of this study is the effects of two types of teaching instruction: traditional and experimental teaching instructions based on the active teaching of physics. In this article is presented the problem solving teaching and the scientific method as a teaching instruction in active teaching of physics. - 232 -Scientific method that is the subject of this research is based on simple experiments in physics that do not require expensive equipment and can be implemented with minimum teaching resources that are available to every student. There are presented results of research carried out to study the effect of the applied educational instruction in physics, the result of the overall educational performance, durability of acquired knowledge and understanding of aspects of the nature of science and scientific research in relation to the traditional teaching. The study was conducted as a pedagogical experiment of parallel groups in a sample of sixth and eighth-graders, in schools "Miroslav Antic" and "Desanka Maksimovic" in Futog. The study of pedagogical documentation as well as the results obtained from initial test designed for the purpose of this research, formed the control and experimental groups matched for relevant educational parameters. Is done a comparison of the control group – the problem teaching, the control group - the scientific method and the problem teaching - the scientific method, in quantum, quality and efficiency of knowledge of the applied methods. The results were statistically analyzed. There existed significant differences in the durability of knowledge retention, faster and more thorough adoption of educational content using of the active teaching instruction in teaching physics than traditional teaching. Analysis of the results of the final test shows a positive trend understanding of almost all aspects of the nature of science in the experimental groups. The main drawback in the implementation of the teaching instruction students is individual differences in the speed of solving the problem, and the lack of adequate literature to support this form of teaching.</p>
