AbstractEducation of citizens to understand, address and resolve current social and environmental issues calls for a new professional profile that is more reflective, investigative, and critical of the teaching staff and which modifies the predominant, more traditional teaching methodologies. For this reason, we consider it essential that future teachers responsible for all subjects in which heritage is a relevant educational component should have appropriate training in these key concepts, in relation to heritage, emotions, identities, citizenship, and the approach to relevant socio-environmental problems. The study developed here analyses different end-of-degree projects (undergraduate and master’s degrees) carried out by teachers in initial training for Primary and Secondary Education. In their training process, they have addressed different criteria that are considered key to carry out didactic proposals for citizenship education based on heritage, from the perspective of determining good practices in the teaching and learning processes of the social sciences. The approach of this research is characterized by a qualitative methodology, through a documentary study, in which the materials produced by teachers in initial training are examined by analytical categories of this study: Why teach about heritage? What is taught about heritage? How is it taught? What relations are established between emotional intelligence and heritage? What relationships are established between territorial intelligence and heritage? In this study, the importance of the connection between educational research and innovation processes for the training of teachers in the field of heritage education with respect to education for citizenship has been highlighted. The connections of heritage with citizenship education and the potential involved in working on emotional and territorial intelligence have been highlighted too. However, it has been evidenced that it is necessary to go much further into the implementation of the approach to territorial intelligence in which the citizenry should be involved through shared management of heritage.

La educación patrimonial a menudo se ha relacionado con el desarrollo de nuevas estrategias metodológicas, determinando la realización de buenas prácticas en el proceso de enseñanza y aprendizaje. Este estudio se centra en analizar cómo influye el uso de un videojuego en la enseñanza y aprendizaje de las Ciencias Sociales a través del patrimonio, atendiendo a las emociones que se generan en el aula. Se trata de una investigación cualitativa centrada en un estudio de caso donde han participado 31 alumnos/as de 1.º de ESO, la docente habitual y los investigadores. Los datos se han extraído de diversos instrumentos como un cuestionario, el diario de la docente o la producción de aula, entre otros que, posteriormente, han sido analizados a través de una tabla de categorías. Los resultados aportados denotan la importancia que tienen las emociones y la alteración de las metodologías habituales, mostrando una postura muy positiva en el aprendizaje. Heritage education has often been related to the development of new methodological strategies, determining the realization of good practices in the teaching and learning process.

As a result of innovative didactic experiences and previous research, the authors selected and highlighted some of the most important bases to consider that citizenship education and heritage education share common principles and objectives to enhance aspects such as participation, commitment, or historical awareness. However, there are still challenges that must be faced collaboratively between public administrations, social groups, the private sector, and the general public. This chapter starts with a review about research on heritage education and research in citizenship education and continues with the description of some innovative experiences based on research into heritage and citizenship education; concluding that the connections between citizenship education and heritage education allows the definition of new lines of research and innovation framed as relevant socio-environmental issues, such as controversial social issues, the approach to freedoms, social justice, respect and sociocultural empathy, democratic values, and construction of identities, among others.

This study focuses on how students of vocational courses related to Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) perceive the use they make of technologies in their learning. A questionnaire survey was applied in classroom to 314 students from 4 private and public schools, with the aim of understanding if the students recognize benefits in the use of ICT in teaching and learning, by answering the 34 premises presented to them. Most students recognize benefits from the use of ICT in teaching considering it improves and facilitates learning. They recognize the need to improve the pedagogical use of ICT and that teachers from the scientific and sociocultural components still make little use of the technologies in the classroom. These students consider that the courses they take prepare them to integrate the labor market, indicating good practices in learning with and from technologies in the technical classes. The premises about the disadvantages and obstacles resulting from the use of ICT were the ones that gathered the lowest consensus among students. They consider that the use of ICT is essential in learning and preparing to work with ICT and in a broader sense to live in a society of information and knowledge.

Abstract Background Our transition to an “information society” means that Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has become integral to our lives. ICT has also become an essential aspect of medical institutions and healthcare settings. Healthcare professionals, especially nurses are required to use ICT in their daily work. In Lebanon, however, due to political factors, many universities have not introduced technology or any form of ICT in their curricula. Institutions of higher education do use technology in various ways, however, successful incorporation of ICT in education requires acceptance by instructors who are expected to use ICT in teaching practices. Although international findings reveal that ICT should be used in nursing education, some faculty members experience difficulty integrating it. Method A mixed methodological research approach was used to investigate the attitudes of nursing teaching staff toward the use of ICT in nursing education. Results Our findings revealed three categories of faculty with differing attitudes to the use of ICT in teaching and learning: pioneers, faculty members who have developed positive attitudes toward ICT usage; followers, faculty members with neutral attitudes; and resisters, faculty members with negative attitudes. Conclusions Identification of the nursing faculty members’ attitude toward ICT and the challenges faced by them contributes to the integration of ICT into nursing curricula and further development of educational practices.

Premised on the disruption and lessons learnt from the Covid-19 pandemic, and in meticulous response to the impact of the pandemic on higher education – especially in South Africa – this collection of chapters spotlights the effects, consequences, and ramifications of an unprecedented pandemic in the areas of knowledge production, knowledge transfer and innovation. With the pandemic, the traditional way of teaching and learning was completely upended. It is within this context that this book presents interdisciplinary perspectives that focus on what the impact of Covid-19 implies for higher education institutions. Contributors have critically reflected from within their specific academic disciplines in their attempt to proffer solutions to the disruptions brought to the South African higher education space. Academics and education leaders have particularly responded to the objective of this book by focusing on how the academia could tackle the Covid-19 motivated disruption and resuscitate teaching, research, and innovation activities in South African higher education, and the whole of Africa by extension.

The aim of this paper is to highlight University Pedagogy as a field that focuses on academics’ teaching role in Greek higher education. EU has recognized the need of improvement of the teaching skills of academics and urges the member states to recognize them as an important element of their professional profile. Only recently academics in Greece have launched the debate on innovative teaching and learning methods and practices. A Symposium that took place in 2016 and a significant empirical research are presented, because they are considered to mark the beginning of an emerging university culture, which incorporates the concern on teaching and learning excellence within higher education approaches in our country. The results of these initiatives indicate that critical self-reflection on teaching can lead to the transformation and to the adoption of alternative teaching practices, since the critically reflective process is a crucial point for the enhancement of an academic’s pedagogical, curricular and instructional knowledge.

ResumoNeste artigo analisamos as relações com o saber, com o ensinar e com o aprender em atividades desenvolvidas em um subprojeto de Matemática no Programa Institucional de Bolsas de Iniciação à Docência (PIBID). Os dados consistiram no registro das ações realizadas em sala de aula por um supervisor (professor), seis estudantes da licenciatura em Matemática e alunos do Ensino Fundamental de uma escola pública do estado do Paraná, Brasil. Para a interpretação dos dados foi utilizado um instrumento que possibilita evidenciar as relações com o saber na sala de aula denominado Matriz 3x3. As análises revelaram implicações da ação do supervisor na ação tanto dos estudantes universitários quanto dos alunos da escola e, consequentemente, nas relações que estes estabeleceram com o saber, o ensinar e o aprender.AbstractIn this article we analyze the relationship with knowledge, with teaching and with learning in activities developed in a subproject of Mathematics in the Institutional Program of Initiation to Teaching (PIBID).

Resumo: Partindo do pressuposto que um novo paradigma artístico está a emergir, o que implica a construção de um conhecimento sempre renovado, quer na dimensão concetual, quer na dimensão da intervenção, os processos formativos dos futuros profissionais docentes merecem-nos especial atenção. Este artigo resulta de um projeto de investigação centrado na necessidade de equacionar a arte contemporânea, na formação inicial de professores, no horizonte das transformações atuais – o que implica pensar as mudanças no ensino-aprendizagem, a descrença dos sistemas de justificação educacionais, a mutação do conceito de arte e das práticas artísticas e as mudanças dos comportamentos, perspetivando o futuro. Este trabalho foi ao encontro dos seguintes objetivos: implementar e avaliar um programa pedagógico na formação inicial dos professores assente na arte contemporânea e identificar as competências que a arte contemporânea promove nos estudantes e que concorrem para o seu perfil profissional. Privilegia-se um quadro paradigmático de investigação numa perspetiva interpretativa e adota-se uma metodologia de estudo de caso que envolveu 300 estudantes de Licenciaturas em Educação Básica ao longo de um semestre. As conclusões emergentes do estudo evidenciam a importância artístico-pedagógica da arte contemporânea para o perfil profissional do professor, bem como a necessidade de uma reforma curricular, visando à inovação dos processos de formação onde a arte contemporânea seja contemplada. Palavras-chave: Arte Contemporânea. Formação de Professores. Processo de ensino-aprendizagem. ART AND EDUCATION: A DIALOG IN TIMES OF CHANGE Abstract: This study starts from the assumption that a new artistic paradigm is emerging, which involves the construction of a continuously renewed knowledge, both in conceptual and relational dimensions and its consequences on art education in initial teacher training. This article results of a research project that focused its concern on the need to equate contemporary art in initial teacher education, on the horizon of current transformations, such as: changes in teaching and learning, disbelief on educational justification systems, changes in art concepts and artistic practices and changes in behaviour and envisioning the future. This paper focuses on the following objectives: implement an evaluate educational program in the initial teachers training based on contemporary art and identify the skills that contemporary art promotes in students which contribute to their professional profile. Chosen research methods follow a paradigmatic framework for research in an interpretative perspective and the study adopts a case study methodology. Research involved 300 students of a BA degree in Elementary Teachers Education during one semester. Emerging findings of the study highlight the artistic and pedagogical importance of contemporary art to develop skills that contribute to the professional profile of the teacher as well as the need for curriculum reform in arts education aimed at innovating training processes where contemporary art is contemplated. Keywords: Contemporary Art. Teacher Training. Teaching-learning process.
