The article based on the research which aim is to clear, how common teaching practices in Russian schools affecting the decline in the results of students when performing tasks of the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA). The authors of the article try to understand why teachers so often prefer quite old training technologies. In the course of study these problems, members of research team conducted interviews and discussions with school teachers from the Moscow region who were trained in advanced training courses at the Academy of Public Administration. Intensive interaction with teachers helped the authors to draw a conclusion that the avoiding more effective contemporary training technologies is due to certain conditions in which the teacher works. Another conclusion made in the article: teachers fail in teaching students not because they do not have enough knowledge of modern technologies and techniques or because they underestimate the importance of developing critical thinking, anthropological imagination, knowledge of meta-subject connections, the skills to understand texts and work with heterogeneous information, but because they are not ready to accept the changing social role of the school.

The current teaching of mathematics is guided by recommendations that suggest the implementation of various activities in order to raise the understanding of mathematical knowledge. This diversity is related to the characteristics of the tasks proposed in the learning contexts. Among all tasks, the modelling ones call for the application of activities through different representations. So, it is important that teacher training courses promote experiences involving prospective teachers with this type of task. Based on this assumption, we intend to identify the activities that prospective primary school teachers perform in solving modelling tasks, the difficulties experienced in these tasks and the value of the models they determine. From the analysis of the resolutions of two tasks, we find that the prospective teachers translate the information of the data available in tables through graphs and analytical expressions. Some discuss models that determine which best fits the data. In the activities carried out, difficulties arise in determining the proportionality constant that best translates the problem situation, discussing the reasonableness of the values generated by the model, and sketching the graph of the model that best fits the experimental data. As for the usefulness of the model they determine, few prospective teachers are predicting outcomes.

One of the problems of primary school teachers’ training in postgraduate education is to prove the guidelines vector of teaching activities on the development of creative abilities of every child. From the early school years it is necessary to enhance the student’s tendency to creative performance with new creative and intellectual abilities and effective methodologies. The realia of the new millennium requires the activation of personality’s creative potential, creative activity of primary school students, creating psychological and pedagogical conditions for their professional self-expression and creative fulfillment.The aim of the article is to analyze the content of primary school teachers’ training on the development of primary school students’ creative potential in postgraduate education.The content of primary school teachers’ training for the creative potential development of primary school students during training courses in postgraduate teachers’ education complies with such features as: concentric (allows to establish a connection between the known and the unknown, to develop, enhance, organize teachers’ ideas on the types and methods of the development of primary school students’ creative abilities); transfer from simple to complex in teaching of adults, from the known to the unknown or little known (makes it possible to gradually expand, enrich the content of each topic); the relationship of learning content during training courses with practical activities in primary school (includes visiting methodologist teachers’ lessons at schools); providing students with positive motivation during learning to fix the interest in the development of primary pupils’ creative activity in the classroom; interdependence of methods and techniques of training (for their efficient optimal combination in different learning situations).Thus, the content of primary school teachers’ training to the development of primary school students’ creative potential in postgraduate education combines didactic, andragogical and psychological foundations of teachers’ education as a particular category of working adults. In the long term we shall search pedagogical conditions of training.

Primary Teacher Training

The purpose of this study was to establish the utility of the Theory of Planned Behavior in predicting nonspecialist, preservice primary-school teachers’ intentions to teach physical education for 2 hr per week. A questionnaire was developed, according to the recommended procedures, and was administered to 128 final-year teacher trainees in two Primary Teacher Training courses in England. A variety of predictors were identified, including beliefs of significant others, such as parents; a positive assessment of control over difficult barriers; and experiences of past (teaching) behavior. The most significant predictor in discriminating between intenders and nonintenders, however, was personal exercise behavior. Helping preservice primary-school teachers become more physically active themselves might positively influence their intent to teach physical education 2 hr per week more than alleviating barriers to teaching physical education.
