This article aims to identify the knowledge of Geography trainee teachers in the use of i-Think thinking maps in Learning and Facilitation (PdPc) in schools during their teaching practice. This study used the in-depth interviews method as a research instrument and primer data collected. Respondents consisted of 25 Geography trainee teachers who are currently studying for the sixth and seventh semesters but have been in the first phase of teaching practice. The data were collected by recording audio of each interview session conducted by the researcher with 25 respondents and transcribed in Microsoft Word and then categorized into sections and reviewed by the researcher to see the answers provided more clearly. The results of this study found that Geography trainee teachers' knowledge of i-Think thinking maps such as the meaning, type, function, and how to apply i-Think thinking maps in PdPc is moderate. This due to the lack of exposure and experience to use i-Think thinking maps either in their learning or in teaching practice. This study implies that there is a growing awareness among Geography teachers in enhancing their knowledge of the use of I-Think thinking maps. This will help the trainee teachers to apply it according to the topics to be taught when they become real teachers in future.

Competencia Digital

El mundo requiere personas con conocimientos, habilidades y actitudes que permitan un desarrollo completo de la ciudadanía en un ecosistema digital. Una respuesta educativa a esta exigencia social es la competencia digital. Así, esta finalidad exige niveles óptimos de desarrollo de la Competencia Digital Docente (CDD), en especial en el sector de la Formación Profesional (FP). Con la idea de atender este contexto educativo, en este trabajo se propone un marco de comprensión que integra de forma unitaria la visión sobre la pedagogía, los recursos y la evaluación para entender, evaluar y proponer mejoras en la competencia digital del profesorado de FP. Empleando un enfoque cualitativo, se realizaron once entrevistas en profundidad sobre la CDD del profesorado de FP de la provincia de Valencia (España). Estos datos fueron analizados desde la caracterización de 4 escenarios educativos con tecnología (aprendizaje individual, la enseñanza con TIC, aprendizaje colaborativo y autoaprendizaje del alumnado). La principal conclusión detectada es que los docentes entrevistados tienen conocimientos de algunos recursos y aplicaciones tecnológicas, actitud y capacidad para incorporarlos a su práctica docente. En cambio, no integran la tecnología en la evaluación de los aprendizajes al mismo nivel competencial que en las otras dimensiones. World requires people with knowledge, skills and attitudes that allow a full development of citizenship in a digital ecosystem. An educational response to this social demand is digital competence. Thus, this purpose requires optimal levels of Digital Teaching Competence (DTC), especially in the Vocational Education Training (VET) sector. With the aim of ​​attending to this educational context, this work proposes a understanding framework that integrates the vision of pedagogy, resources and evaluation to understand, evaluate and propose improvements in the digital competence of VET teachers. Using a qualitative approach, eleven in-depth interviews were conducted on the DTC of VET teachers in the province of Valencia (Spain). These data were analysed from the categorization of 4 educational scenarios with technology (individual learning, teaching with ICT, collaborative learning and student self-learning). The main conclusion detected is that interviewed teachers have knowledge of some technological resources and applications, attitude and ability to incorporate them into their teaching practice. However, they do not integrate technology in the learning assessment at the same competence level as in the other dimensions.

This chapter presents the results of a study carried out at the Universities of Murcia and Santiago de Compostela in Spain regarding the perceptions of trainee primary education teachers about educational knowledge of history education. The decision was taken to employ a quantitative non-experimental design via a Likert-type questionnaire (values from 1 to 5). Significant data have been obtained making it possible to carry out a diagnosis of their professional competencies. The results show that the majority of trainee primary education teachers identify with a critical model of teacher, one who must use active teaching methods and promote ethical values related with social justice. However, this idea contrasts with an implicit model which is much more traditional in its theoretical and methodological conceptions. In the conclusions, its propose the need to improve teacher training linking it more directly with the carrying out of teaching practice.

Las escuelas rurales adoptan formatos distintos en cada país y desarrollan prácticas docentes comunes y divergentes con las urbanas. En España tenemos centros de diferentes tipos, que constituyen una compleja realidad. Sin embargo, apenas contamos con estudios comparativos entre regiones que muestren las peculiaridades de los diferentes tipos de centros y sus prácticas en nuestro país. En este artículo analizamos las semejanzas y diferencias que existen entre las dinámicas de enseñanza de las escuelas rurales del norte (Cantabria) y del sur de España (Huelva) a partir de un estudio cuantitativo (cuestionario) y cualitativo (entrevistas en profundidad). Los resultados comparan cuatro variables (práctica docente, desarrollo del curriculum, material didáctico y atención a la diversidad) en tres tipos de centros (unitarias, multigrado y graduadas). Las conclusiones muestran contrastes respecto a la innovación, el tratamiento de la diversidad o las plantillas docentes, y similitudes, en aspectos curriculares como el uso mayoritario del libro de texto o las dinámicas de enseñanza entre los diferentes tipos de centros educativos rurales. Rural schools take different forms in each country and develop common and divergent teaching practices in comparison to urban schools. In Spain we have different types of schools and this constitutes a complex reality. However, we hardly have comparative studies between regions that show the peculiarities of the different types of schools available. In this article, which adopts a quantitative (questionnaire) and qualitative (in-depth interviews) design, we analyse the similarities and differences that exist between the dynamics of teaching in rural schools in the north (Cantabria) and in the south of Spain (Huelva). The results compare four variables (environment, schools, teachers, students and families) in three types of schools (teaching practice, curriculum development, teaching materials and attention to diversity). The conclusions show contrasts with regard to innovation, attention to diversity or teaching staff; and similarities in curricular aspects such as the tendency to use textbooks or the dynamics of teaching within the different types of rural schools.

This research attempted to explore how the KWL strategy facilitates EFL students' reading engagement. The participants of this research were three students of an Islamic Senior High School. Using a case study design, the researcher describes EFL students' reading engagement by observing and engaging them in in-depth interviews. For gaining the data, the researchers used semi-structured interviews and the students' artefacts of the KWL tables. The interview session was conducted through WhatsApp audio-recording as a preferred interview media by the participants. The result of the research found that the KWL strategy gives positive engagement and self-assessment to EFL students with several stages. Other researchers are suggested to conduct further research on similar topics related to reading engagement in EFL students. Several research possibilities will expand this research. First, future researchers can complete this study by looking at the students' needs in the classroom. The results of this study revealed that students have difficulty with vocabulary.

This qualitative study explores the experiences of a cohort of pre-service teachers completing a high-stakes teacher performance assessment (HSTPA), the Kansas Performance Teaching Portfolio (KPTP), during their final year of teacher preparation. The inquiry asks whether the act of completing the assessment modified candidate conceptualizations of good teaching, and, if so, in what ways. Data were gathered via in-depth interviews and content analysis, and data were analyzed via constant comparison. The study found that completing the KPTP was having some impact upon participant conceptions of good teaching, prodding them to broaden their understanding of the work of teachers to include not just dispositional and relational aspects of teaching, but elements of technical teaching practice. The article concludes with recommendations for policy, research, and practice.

The teaching and learning process should be conducted effectively so that students can obtain the learning objectives. In so doing, teachers should have the ability to deliver the teaching materials effectively by conducting good classroom management. In this case, as prospective teachers, pre-service teachers should manage the classroom well to maintain teaching effectively. However, handling classroom management is not easy, and therefore pre-service teachers should apply appropriate strategies in managing the classroom. This research aims to investigate the strategies that pre-service teachers use to overcome the problems in managing the classroom during their teaching practices in a private senior high school. A qualitative research approach was employed to answer the research questions, in which in-depth interviews were administered to collect the data. Besides, four pre-service teachers at an Islamic university in Yogyakarta volunteered as the participants in this study. This study’s results showed that the participants applied several strategies to respond to the problems emerging during their teaching practice. The strategies which these pre-service teachers applied to overcome the problems comprised 1) improving self-confidence, 2) preparing lessons carefully, 3) anticipating unpredictable situations, 4) responding to unpredictable questions wisely, and 5) handling with the students’ heterogeneity. Having various ways of handling classroom management, these pre-service teachers could deliver the lesson effectively. Therefore, this study is beneficial for those who are having teaching practice to keep the classroom run successfully.
