This study was conducted to investigate problems faced by teachers and students in the teaching-learning process using English as the medium of instruction at the primary level. The study explored the teachers’ competencies and students' abilities needed regarding the use of English as a medium of instruction. A survey research design was used to conduct the study. A questionnaire was administered to a sample of 380 randomly selected teachers of 350 primary schools of HazaraChi-Square Chi Square Goodness of Fit Test was used for the data analysis. Findings revealed that most primary school teachers found it difficult to teach different subjects using English as medium of instruction. Teachers did not seem to be able to provide a suitable learning environment for students in the EMI context. In comparison to students who did not seem to face substantial issues in understanding their lessons through EMI, teachers faced more difficulties in the effective use of EMI for their teaching. This could be linked to their lack of teachers’ training for an EMI teaching environment. The study has important implications as the medium of instruction conundrum does not seem to go away in the Pakistani school education context in general and at the primary level of education in particular.

The Impact

The eLearning instruments that have been researched in the last few years represent a necessity for the Romanian primary school also within the development of the alternative learning sources. These cognitive instruments as D.H. Jonassen names them, are utilized in the USA and are researched in other countries, too (France) in order to be implemented. The aim of this article is to implement and to recommend the utilization of electronic models: text and image processing sheets, presentation sheets, spreadsheets in the teaching­learning process in primary school. According to this aim, the research hypothesis has been issued in keeping with which we anticipate to be able to offer a well thought training in the eLearning field by updating the teaching and learning process with the help of the implementation of a set of electronic models which will increase the intercepting coefficient, the motivation, stimulation, imagination and enthusiasm degree for the learning actors and will redefine the teacher-pupil relation. The main objectives which derive from the hypothesis of our study confine to establishing the impact of electronic models of the eLeaming Set that has been proposed to be implemented on the actors primary school in the teaching-learning process; rendering the teaching-learning process efficient by implementing cognitive models with electronic support; working out an operational guide that contains scientific-practical recommendations and lesson models that utilize PeL; enriching the mathematical thinking. The study sample covers a population that wishes to know, to participate in the implementing of the new technologies. The sample was composed as follows: 121 teachers in primary schools, most of them students of the University in Pite

Este artículo presenta parte de los resultados de una investigación sobre la dinamización de las Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación (TIC) desde un centro de recursos pedagógico en las escuelas de su comarca, el Baix Ebre (Tarragona) durante los cursos escolares 2006-2007 y 2007-2008. Asimismo se enmarca en una tesis doctoral: «Disseny, implementació i avaluació del Pla d'explotació de recursos TIC als centres de primària del Baix Ebre» (Espuny, 2008). En líneas generales, se expone una propuesta sobre cómo dinamizar las TIC, basada en el análisis del papel de los agentes fundamentales en cualquier proceso de innovación, y con el objetivo de ser un referente en el diseño de un plan de incorporación de las TIC de forma gradual y metodológicamente significativa en la escuela. Se parte de un enfoque metodológico de investigación-acción y se utilizan técnicas de recogida e interpretación de datos mixta, cualitativa y cuantitativa (entrevistas, diarios, cuestionarios, demandas, opiniones, observaciones, reflexiones de expertos, etc.). A partir de ellas, nuestras conclusiones nos permiten reflexionar sobre el estado actual de las TIC en los centros y servir como base a las Administraciones educativas, en general, y a las diferentes comunidades educativas, en particular, en la definición de los cambios necesarios que nos permitan implementar exitosamente las TIC como un potente instrumento pedagógico que mejora la calidad del proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje.AbstractThe article is based on the results of a research into dinamization of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). It's made by the Teaching Resources Centre of Baix Ebre (Tarragona) and it was applied in different schools located in the same area, during the academic courses 2006-2007, 2007-2008. This researching project is included in a thesis: «Design, implementation and assessment of a running plan of ICT resources in primary schools in the Baix Ebre area». (Espuny, 2008). In a general way it sets out a proposal to invigorate the ICT. This proposal is based on the study of the role the key agents that take part in every innovation process, and it has the objective of being an essential reference when designing a plan to involve or incorporate the ICT in schools in a methodological significative way. In this project the methodological research-action process has been taken as a reference. It used different resources to collect and analyze the data, mixed, qualitative and quantitative, (interviews, diaries, expert opinions...) The findings of the study are intended to reflect on the current status of ICT in schools, and to serve as a basis for the necessary changes that the educational authorities and the educational community may deem essential to enable ICT to be successfully implemented as a pedagogical tool that is to improve the quality of the teaching-learning process.

Learning Principles

In this article we present the findings of an investigation on how primary school teachers at 3 independent primary schools in Johannesburg experienced continuous professional teacher development (CPTD). There is a wealth of literature available on planning, organising and implementing effective CPTD. Such literature also highlights the importance of applying adult learning principles in CPTD contexts in order to promote teachers’ learning and development and in turn contributing to a positive effect on learning in the classroom. Exploring the value and usefulness of adult learning principles in CPTD can enhance primary school teachers’ learning opportunities to update their knowledge and skills. Effective CPTD is important in South Africa as there is an urgent need to improve literacy and numeracy levels across primary education levels. Using qualitative data, we explore teachers’ perspectives on how they learn and develop effectively, and what hinders their own learning and CPTD. Data collection methods included interviews, open-ended questionnaires, observations and document analysis. Fifteen primary school teachers, 3 primary school principals and 4 adult/teacher trainers participated in this investigation. A major finding of this research suggests that adult learning principles such as community of practice (CoP) are often omitted from CPTD practices. Thus, a disparity exists between literature on effective CPTD practice as compared to the everyday CPTD experiences of teachers. With this article we aim to contribute to current literature about teachers’ experiences of CPTD and propose suggestions for planning, organising and implementing CPTD that also incorporates adult learning principles and would be valuable and useful to teachers.

RÉSUMÉ. Cet article rend compte des résultats d’une enquête que nous avons menée par le biais d’un questionnaire auprès d’enseignants de la langue française du primaire. L’objectif était de dresser l’état des lieux de l’enseignement/apprentissage de la lecture orale et d’identifier les difficultés qui entravent la maîtrise de cette compétence à partir du point de vue des praticiens. Cette enquête qui a eu lieu au sein d’écoles primaires publiques d’une province de l’oriental au Maroc nous a permis d’explorer la pratique enseignante de la lecture et d’évaluer les connaissances des enseignants relatives à la conscience phonologique qui constitue une composante fondamentale de cet apprentissage et l’un des meilleurs prédicteurs de sa future réussite. Les données collectées indiquent que les enseignants sont insatisfaits des performances de leurs élèves en lecture et que ces derniers souffrent d’un déficit grave en déchiffrage. De plus, nous avons pu déduire que les stratégies mises en œuvre par nos informateurs pour remédier à cette déficience ne sont que peu efficaces. Les connaissances de ces praticiens relatives au rôle important que joue le développement de la conscience phonologique lors de l’apprentissage de la lecture sont très limitées d’où la nécessité d’assurer des formations supplémentaires à ce propos. Mots-clés : conscience phonologique, difficultés de lecture, identification des mots écrits, lecture, Maroc  ABSTRACT. This article reports on the results of a survey that we conducted through a questionnaire with teachers of the French primary language. The aim was to take stock of the teaching / learning of oral reading and to identify the difficulties that hinder the mastery of this competence from the point of view of practitioners. This survey, which took place in public primary schools in an Eastern province in Morroco, allowed us to explore the teaching practice of reading and assess teachers' knowledge of phonological awareness as a component of this learning and one of the best predictors of future success. The data collected indicates that teachers are dissatisfied with the performance of their students in reading and that they suffer from a serious deficit in deciphering. In addition, we have been able to deduce that the strategies implemented by our informants to remedy this deficiency are only slightly effective. The knowledge of these practitioners about the important role played by the development of phonological awareness when learning to read is very limited, hence the need for additional training in this area. Keywords: phonological awareness, reading difficulties, identification of written words, reading, Morocco
