The Subject

Research on the role of mobile learning in computational thinking is limited, and even more so in its use in initial teacher education. Aligned to this there is a need to consider how to introduce and expose pre-service teachers to computational thinking constructs within the context of the subject area they will teach in their future classrooms. This paper outlines a quasi-experimental study to examine the role of mobile learning in facilitating computational thinking development amongst pre-service teachers in initial teacher education. The study enquires if there are significant differences in grades achieved in computational thinking and programming learning when mobile learning is introduced. Findings showed and reaffirmed the positive influence of the mobile applications on the development of computational thinking amongst the pre-service teachers who participated.

The focus of this special issue is the changes to Initial Teacher Education (ITE) that have been instituted in Wales over the last two years. At the heart of the new approach is the insistence that in the future all programmes of ITE should be planned, led and delivered not by universities alone, but by universities working in close collaboration with a number of partner schools. But what is the justification for these radical changes? Why is a collaborative approach between universities and schools needed? This paper, which takes the form of a personal literature review, sets out the research evidence on which I drew in contributing the reform process. It considers evidence on three issues: the role of schools; the role of universities; and the ways in which they can effectively work together.

<p>The present paper explores the extent to and the ways in which European mandates for teacher education for inclusion can inspire post-graduate teacher education for inclusion in the context of Greek higher education. With means of a longitudinal self-study on such a course for language teachers the empowering effects of teacher education for inclusion are identified, barriers to it are looked into and suggestions for improvement, as exemplified by the Greek context, are made. The present research aims to contribute to our thinking on inclusive education in that the Profile of Inclusive Teachers, so far related mainly to initial teacher education, is related to post-graduate education and language teacher education, so far minimally explored in self-studies, is explored.</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0628/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Survey Responses

An assignment was devised in an open online space to enable participants on a year-long initial teacher education course to deepen and share their knowledge on a teaching-related topic of interest, to develop their digital skills and to enable reflection on their experience of the task. After two cohorts had completed the assignment, a small research project was then carried out to explore participants’ experience of and attitudes towards this type of assessment. Survey responses suggest that, overall, participants found it to be a worthwhile activity that encouraged them to engage with the literature and reflect on their own and others’ practice. Participants also critiqued the task implementation and commented on how they would adapt it within their own teaching contexts to encourage fuller engagement with the tasks. Following feedback the assignment brief was fully revised for the following year.

Higher Education in our country is changing in accordance to the processes of Europian integration that is supported by the government of Ukraine and the Ministry of Higher Education and Science. The urgency of the problem is enhanced by contradictions between: the objective need of society for teachers and researchers able to solve the problems of professional activities in Higher School institutions at the international level that are associated with modern trends of European nations to make in future a unified system of multilevel Higher Education, the need for close collaboration with foreign colleagues and the real situation with willingness of up-to date teachers and researchers for foreign language professional collaboration. The Purpose of the article – theoretical analysis of the role of intercultural professional competence in the training of future masters of Pedagogy of Higher School.Intercultural professional competence of future masters of Pedagogy of Higher School is considered to be the integrated personal and professional activities which refers to psycho-pedagogical willingness of an adult to perform professional activities successfully, productively and efficiently, using the foreign language or foreign culture and interact effectively in a foreign professional environments.According to the results of the theoretical analysis we note that the constituent components of the intercultural professional competence of future masters of Pedagogy of Higher School competence is formed on the basis of the interconnected socio-cultural, socio-linguistic and language development due to their age and psychophysical characteristics and due to their professional and personal interests on each stage of the intercultural professional competence of the masters. One of the main parts of intercultural professional competence is its connection with professional awareness of masters, their professional value, since it is about degree of formation of the level and style of communication of future teachers and researchers while conducting different professional activities. Further we considered learning of pedagogical conditions for the development of intercultural professional competence of future masters of Pedagogy of Higher School in formal and informal education.
