The importance and significance of the role of pre-service teachers’ education in building up their identity formation is well-recognized. This work investigates one dimension of this complex formation: how pre-service teachers perceive themselves as teachers in a pre-service teacher education compulsory course of teaching practice in Greece. An experience report from a teaching practicum is presented based on a qualitative analysis of anonymous questionnaires (N=144). Our analysis reveals that student-teachers are engaged in a process of transformation which encompasses from the academic preparation to the teaching reality. We identify three interconnected stages in this transformation process: i) first contact (e.g., choice and field of their studies, relation between theory and practice), ii) familiarization (e.g., get in touch with teaching activity, with the space and the operation of kindergarten, collaboration with teachers), and iii) function (e.g., interaction with pupils, acquiring experience, acting as teachers). According to the data analysis, preservice teachers tend to attribute greater importance to specific elements of each stage. More specifically, the choice and field of their studies as well as the teaching activity (planning, implementation and feedback) were underlined as very important elements in the second and third stage respectively, while a great number of preservice students highlighted the interaction with students in the classroom as well as their act and operation as teachers in the third stage. Summing up, our findings indicate that pre-service teachers perceive themselves as teachers through four-correlated to each other in a bidirectional manner- issues: the academic framework, the teaching activity, themselves acting as teachers, and the students. Furthermore, the aforementioned four issues point out that pre-service teachers’ perceptions are not stable but are subjected to a transformative process that take place during their teaching practice. Accordingly, the findings of this study could provide a conceptual framework that incorporates pre-service teachers’ perceptions and examine teachers’ identity formation from this specific perspective of pre-service studies.

In the present study, after 109 pre-service teachers had completed at least one of the teaching practice or teaching practicum courses, their styles of identifying social problems and adapting social problems into lesson contents were examined. The pre-service teachers’ perceptions of social problems, the values they want to teach while transforming social problems into course content, key competencies, and the teaching method and techniques they prefer to use were analyzed. In addition, the grade levels and primary school lessons at which they intended to teach social problems were also examined. As a result, it was concluded that the pre-service teachers were able to handle social problems within national and international contexts and turn them into course contents.

Within the project“Lehren, Lernen und Forschen in Werkstätten” (Teaching, Learning and Researching in Laboratories) from 2016-2019, German didactic seminars were held in the “Lern- und Forschungswerkstatt Grundschule” (LuFo) (Primary Education Research Lab) at the Technische Universität (TU) of Dresden. The seminars, which were attended by primary education student teachers, dealt with telling stories to wordless picturebooks, reading aloud picturebooks about school or other literary themes. The student teachers dealt with selected picturebooks from the perspective of literature didactics, visual literacy studies and empirical research on reception of literature. They designed didactic arrangements in the sense of inquiry-based learning and invited kindergarten and primary school children to the LuFo to explore the stories told in the picturebooks together with them. The study is based on the student teachers' seminar papers in which they describe their projects, give didactic reasons for the selection of literature and analyse their interactions with the children around the picturebooks. Using the example of picturebooks about school, the study uses the Key Incident Analysis to ask which books the student teachers choose and how they receive them, in what form they discuss them with the children and how they shape the reading situations and finally, how they reflect on their own learning processes. The results give an insight into both the processes of reflection of the primary school student teachers and the processes of literary learning of the children.

It seems that plagiarism has not been seen as misconduct in higher education in some developing countries including in Indonesia which might be affected by cultural, economic, and technological issues. The research aimed at exploring the perceptions of Indonesian student teachers towards plagiarism in four higher education institutions. The research was undertaken as a mixed-method research. Questionnaire and face to face interviews were the instruments to collect data. A paper-based questionnaire was administered to 534 student teachers while face to face interviews were conducted with twenty voluntary participants. The data from the questionnaire were analyzed and presented in the form of percentages, frequencies, and standard deviation while interview data were first analyzed by transcribing the audiotaped interviews into texts, which were then read line-by-line to find and list every significant statement relevant to knowledge of plagiarism definition, research ethic, and research misconduct types, attitudes towards plagiarism, practicing of plagiarism, and reasons of plagiarism among twenty participants. Results showed that most student teachers knew the definition of plagiarism, but they did not know the types of research misconduct. They considered plagiarism as an act of stealing but being unable to avoid in for their study. They tended to do plagiarism because they wanted to save time and they considered about the pressure of their study. Based on the findings of this study, it is important that participants should be required to have more education on plagiarism and its effects and consequences on the ethics of research and education. More strict policies should be implemented to evaluate and supervise plagiarism emerged in Indonesian higher education institutions for undergraduate programs. Keywords: Indonesian higher education, plagiarism in higher education, student teachers, teacher education.

We consider the ability to complete an investigative cycle as an indicator of the robustness of students’ statistical knowledge. From this standpoint, we analyzed the written reports of primary education student teachers when they developed an investigative cycle in a Chilean and a Spanish university. In their development of the stages of the cycle we observed characteristics common to the centers (for example, summary research questions and conclusions that are a simple concatenation of results), and differential features (the data collection tools and techniques, among others). Armed with a knowledge of how future teachers approach and understand an investigative cycle we are able to contribute ideas that influence their training, building bridges between what they learn and what they should teach. Abstract: Spanish Consideramos la capacidad para completar un ciclo de investigación estadística como indicador de la robustez del conocimiento estadístico del estudiante. Desde este posicionamiento, analizamos las producciones escritas de profesores de enseñanza básica en formación cuando desarrollan un ciclo de investigación en una universidad Chilena y una Española. En las concreciones de las fases del ciclo observamos características comunes entre los centros (por ejemplo, preguntas de investigación tipo resumen y conclusiones como simple concatenación de resultados), y elementos diferenciales (instrumentos y técnicas de recogida de datos, entre otros). Conocer cómo abordan y comprenden el ciclo de investigación los futuros profesores nos permite aportar ideas para incidir en su formación, tendiendo puentes entre lo que aprenden y lo que deberán enseñar.
