Historical reenactment is becoming a top-tier teaching tool in the countries of Southern Europe. In Spain specifically, this discipline is experiencing a boom as a heritage education method, particularly in informal settings. This article is the outcome of a qualitative research study of the results obtained from one hundred and fifteen educators from historical reenactment groups. The study analyses the methods used by the exponents of this discipline to teach war in the Middle Ages, specifically in three Spanish castles dating from the 11th to the 12th centuries. It has made it possible to analyse how the educational discourses are organised in relation to Medieval war within military spaces from this period, and how historical reenactment is a coadjutant in the construction of teaching/learning spaces from a heritage education perspective.

The current paper attempts to examine the various aspects of the discussion method of teaching at university and its role in enhancing students’ linguistic and academic skills as well as its shortcomings. In Oman, research on English language teaching at universities and colleges show that a considerable number of students who move from secondary schools and join higher education institutions would confront difficulties in using the English language to meet their personal, social, academic, and career needs efficiently and appropriately. The discussion method allows establishing a rapport with students, stimulating their critical thinking and articulating ideas clearly (McKeachie & Svinicki, 2006). It is relatively acceptable among university academics who use it to promote active learning and long-term retention of information (Bonwell, 2000). It could provide students with a platform to contribute to their own learning and would offer the lecturer an opportunity to check students’ understanding of the material (Craven & Hogan, 2001). Critics argue that some problems may show up such as that several participants dominate the discussion sessions while other students may remain passive, and often, resentful (Brookfield & Perskill, 2005). The discussion could also include other signs of limitation such as that it may get off track or that only few students may dominate it during the whole session (Howard, 2015). Hence, the objectives of this research study are to identify students’ views and opinions of the use of the discussion method in teaching English as well as its strengths and weaknesses. The findings showed that majority of respondents indicated that a good opportunity to interact is provided during the discussion and that the lecturer is not the sole authority in class. The implications of this research could be reflected on students’ learning through their participation in class discussion.

The Impact

We present here the results for the kindergarten level of a qualitative research study on the impact of a curriculum connecting learningevents in Spanish and English in authentic communicative performances. The school in the study was a private institution in a mid-sizedColombian city. The curriculum is based on communicative and constructivist principles and presents the learning events as communicativeauthentic performances. We describe the performances that the kindergarten teachers developed based on the curriculum, how they achievedauthenticity in them, and their impact on the students’ attitude towards the English class and on their learning. We analyzed four teacherinterviews and four class observations done over a year, plus two more class recordings made independently by the teachers. They revealthat teachers used a variety of games, especially role-playing games developed from ideas from the children, reading of stories, and songsand that the students became enthusiastic and active and improved their oral skills considerably.

The Network of Communities for the Renewal of Teaching - Learning in Higher Education (RECREA) began in 2017 in Mexico with a collaboration between public universities and higher normal schools as a strategy to interact with teachers of both institutions to renew jointly their teaching practices in order to achieve better learning outcomes in students. The project supported by the Secretariat of Public Education of Mexico seeks to promote a culture of collaboration among academics for innovation and improvement of their teaching practices. Taking as a theoretical basis the complex thinking, coined by Edgar Morin, the formation of communities and networks of academics oriented to the innovation of the teaching practices, centered in the learning of the students and in the collective construction of knowledge, is fostered. Following a methodological framework of action research, a monitoring and evaluation plan of the teaching-learning process and its results is established, which allows to relate innovations and the use of ICTs with learning outcomes, to subsequently document and analyze teaching innovation experiences. and its results. Working from tasks or projects that reflect real situations and problems with a complex thinking approach, linking the work of the student with the advances, methodologies and results of research in the disciplinary and professional fields and incorporating the use of ICTs as support tools for academic work and for interaction with and among students, it is possible to form communities of academics to design and share experiences on teaching transformation and innovation, documenting the teaching experience based on a research methodology in the action.The paper documents the experiences and first results of the research process in a subject, called “Multicultural Mexico” in the case of a Mexican public university participating in the project and analyzes the active and collaborative participation in a community of teachers for the generation of teaching and learning proposals and methodologies for innovative learning.

Language Teaching And Learning

Abstract Language teaching and learning is commonly considered as a research discipline that resides within the field of ‘applied linguistics’, at least in the way the field is conceptualized by English-speaking academia. However, if we consider language teaching and learning as practice, this fit is not as neat as it at first might appear. Teaching, learning and using an additional language is complex and multifaceted; it involves languages, cultures, learning, communication, identities, etc., which in turn are situated academically within a host of disciplines. Research in language teaching and learning is therefore transdisciplinary in the sense that multiple disciplines can provide different lenses through which to understand the same phenomena and to build new understandings of the object of interest. Moreover, as a field in which languages and cultures are inherently brought into contact, language teaching and learning is also at an intersection between disciplines that are conceptualized and developed differently in different languages and academic traditions. For example, ‘language teaching’ as a disciplinary area does not map well onto its French translation equivalent ‘didactique des langues’. These interactions across academic traditions therefore represent an often-unacknowledged form of transdisciplinarity. This contribution will examine how language teaching and learning can be informed by a transdisciplinary perspective in both these senses. In particular, it will focus on the idea of language learning from an intercultural perspective to examine how multiple disciplines and different disciplinary traditions contribute to shaping understanding of the field; it will also consider some of the challenges of bringing multiple disciplines to bear on this understanding.

This paper reports the findings of a qualitative research study designed to investigate the opportunities and obstacles presented by a digital library for supporting teaching and learning in an inquiry-based undergraduate geology course. Data for this study included classroom observations and field-notes of classroom practices, questionnaires, and audiotapes and transcripts of interviews conducted with student and instructor participants. The findings suggest that although both the instructor and students recognized a number of opportunities presented by the digital library to support teaching and learning (e.g., provides access to various types of data), they encountered a number of obstacles (e.g., difficulty with the search mechanism) that discouraged them from taking advantage of the resources available. Recommendations are presented for (a) developers of digital libraries, and (b) instructors wishing to integrate use of a digital library for supporting their teaching and student learning in an inquiry-based course. Le présent article rend compte des conclusions d’une étude de recherche qualitative élaborée afin d’examiner les occasions et les obstacles que présente une bibliothèque numérique appuyant l’enseignement et l’apprentissage dans le cadre d’un cours de géologie de premier cycle axé sur la recherche. Les données pour cette étude comprenaient les observations effectuées en salle de classe et les notes d’excursion des pratiques en salle de classe, les questionnaires, les bandes audio ainsi que les transcriptions des entrevues menées auprès des étudiants et de l’instructeur participant. Les conclusions laissent entendre que bien que l’instructeur et les étudiants reconnaissent un certain nombre d’occasions que présente la bibliothèque numérique en appui à l’enseignement et à l’apprentissage (p. ex. accès à divers types de données), ils ont dû surmonter un certain nombre d’obstacles (p. ex. difficulté avec les mécanismes de recherche) qui les ont découragés de profiter des ressources disponibles. Des recommandations sont présentées pour les a) développeurs de bibliothèques numériques et b) les instructeurs qui veulent intégrer l’utilisation d’une bibliothèque numérique afin d’appuyer leur enseignement et l’apprentissage de leurs étudiants dans le cadre d’un cours axé sur la recherche.
