AbstractWe provide our first experience of Astronomy training as an in-service training of teachers of Science in Primary schools, and teachers of Geography, Physics and Mathematics in Secondary Schools necessitated due to lack of Astronomy specific training in their teacher training programs. The hands-on training was conducted in collaboration with the IAU Commission 46 Working Group program of Network of Astronomy Schools Education (NASE). Experiences from both face to face and virtual sessions conducted during the Covid19 period and in preparation of a major African solar eclipse, are discussed.

The study aims to explore literary text-talk in higher education and how some students’ reception of a poem is influenced by their interaction with each other. A particular focus is on whether and how the students use a set of literary conceptual tools when they talk about the poem. The study also illuminates factors that prompt the students perform close readings of the text. The data comes from four recorded and transcribed text-talks, where the students from different teacher training programs in Sweden, Denmark and Norway talk about a poem. These text-talks have been analysed through a thematic analysis. The results show that the students start by focusing on details and try to interpret the vocabulary rather than trying to understand the poem in its entirety. Initially, they also perform close readings and then continue with more extra-textual interpretations. However, because of the interactive nature of the text-talk, the students keep returning to the text. All the four groups use quite a few literary concepts, but they hesitate about the meaning and the use of these concepts. The results further show that the students help each other achieve a deeper understanding of the poem, and the talk itself has an impact on their reception of the poem.

The current scenario of teaching chemistry has introduced the visual tools as a way to solve the cognitive demand of students and teachers. These tools contribute to facilitate the teaching of various chemistry topics, making visible the microscopic interactions. Despite the wide variety and functionality of the visual tools, teachers have been faced with the un-known, since they are not prepared to use these tools in the classroom. Motivated by this fact, research on pre-service and in-service teacher educational programs has shown paths and initiatives aiming to assist and prepare the teacher to use the visual tools. This study presents a reflexive approach of some researches about the use of visualizations and teacher training programs (in-service and pre-service). Based on the trends presents in selected pa-pers, it was concluded that researchers raised the ideas of teachers about the uses of these tools. This can base initiatives to work with these conceptions, solving doubts, questions and fears of using the computer. The teachers show interest in use these tools in their classes showing the importance and the current necessity of courses that enable the teacher to use visualization tools. Although there are some proposals for teacher training programs, there is much more to study and research in this area. Key words: chemical education, teacher education, visualization.
