AbstractResearch-based teaching practices can improve student learning outcomes in a variety of complex educational environments. The implementation of learner-centered teaching practices in STEM can both benefit or be constrained by different factors related to individual instructors and the teaching environment. However, we know little of how the instructional climate varies across institutions and how this climate affects teaching practices. Our study sought to describe the relative importance of environmental influences and individual characteristics on learner- centered teaching practices across institutions. We also assessed departmental climate for 35 US higher education institutions. We found that self-efficacy in teaching and professional development exert a strong influence on faculty teaching practices. While departmental climate did not emerge as a significant predictor of teaching practices, there was consistently low support for teaching, and institution size was negatively correlated with leadership and evaluation of effective teaching. We also found that professional development may prepare instructors to teach learner-centered courses in different collegial teaching climates. Our results suggest that through cultivating self-efficacy and participating in iterative professional development, instructors can implement effective teaching practices across institutional environments.

Good teaching practices are developed in order to improve student learning. With technological and social development, educational practices increasingly demand the use of technology, so having good teaching practices with Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) is essential. At the same time, the Sustainable Development Agenda of the United Nations for the year 2030 is setting the principles of sustainable action for today’s society. In this context, the following objectives were proposed: to identify the good teaching practices with ICT that are being developed in Spanish higher education and to establish the relationship between good teaching practices with ICT and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). For this purpose, the method of systematic review of the literature based on the PRISMA protocol was used. A total of 27 documents published in the period 2008–2019 on good teaching practices with ICT in Spanish higher education were analyzed. Among the results, the emerging trend of good practices with ICT, the use of a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) as the main technology in good practices, and the majority of good practices in the development of SDG #4 (Quality Education) are highlighted. Finally, it is a challenge for teachers to include all these aspects in their classroom teaching.

RESUMEN: El presente escrito forma parte de una investigación que versa sobre la representación del conocimiento sobre buenas prácticas docentes de un tutor e-learning. La metodología de trabajo es mixta, combina tanto instrumentos cuantitativos: cuestionario cerrado tipo Likert, como cualitativos: entrevista semiestructurada. El cuestionario fue elaborado ad hoc en base a las funciones y competencias del buen tutor e-learning recogidas por Yot y Marcelo (2013), aplicándose a una muestra de 13 tutores pertenecientes al departamento de tutorización de una escuela de negocios, donde se imparten enseñanzas de educación superior. Tras el análisis de los datos, se determinó a un tutor e-learning como agente de buenas prácticas en base a las respuestas satisfactorias y los criterios establecidos, al cual posteriormente se le realizó la entrevista para poder realizar una aproximación a su competencia digital. Los datos obtenidos del cuestionario se analizaron a través del software SPSS, mientras que los de la entrevista mediante el software cualitativo Atlas.ti. Finalmente fueron representados en dos mapas conceptuales, el primero recoge los datos referentes al contacto con el alumnado y la metodología docente, y el segundo muestra los aspectos relacionados con la gestión de los contenidos y la resolución de dudas. PALABRAS CLAVE: competencia digital; e-learning; buenas prácticas docentes; representación del conocimiento.   ABSTRACT: This paper is part of a research that deals with the representation of the knowledge about good teaching practices of an e-learning tutor. The work methodology is mixed, combining both quantitative instruments, closed questionnaire type Likert, and qualitative, with a semi-structured interview. The questionnaire was elaborated ad hoc on the basis of the functions and competences of the good e-learning tutor collected by Yot and Marcelo (2013), being applied to a sample of 13 tutors belonging to the tutoring department of a business school, where higher education is taught. After the analysis of the quantitative data, an e-learning tutor was determined as an agent of good practices on the basis of the satisfactory answers and the established criteria, to which the interview was subsequently carried out in order to be able to make an approach to its digital competence. The data obtained from the questionnaire were analyzed through the SPSS software, while those from the interview were analyzed through the Atlas.ti qualitative software. Finally, they were represented in two concept maps: the first one gathers the data referring to the contact with the students and the teaching methodology, and the second one shows the aspects related to the management of the contents and answer for questions. KEYWORDS: digital competence; eLearning; good teaching practices; knowledge representation.

At present, an understanding of the teaching practices at university and the opinion of students about these practices is limited, at least in certain knowledge areas. Given this diagnosis and in the context of Social Sciences Didactics, we consider it important to analyze teaching practices and how they impact future teachers. Consequently, concerned about the quality of training offered to students, this study aims to know their opinion about which teaching practices they consider most appropriate to train in Social Sciences Didactics, once they finish the subjects related to this area. To this end, a non-experimental quantitative design has been used, involving collecting information through a questionnaire completed by 875 students from seven Spanish universities studying for the Degree in Primary Education. The data was analyzed from a triple perspective, an analysis of the descriptive statistics of the items contemplated in this research, the existing correlations between them, and a statistical analysis based on the gender variable. The results show that the treatment of controversial issues and the didactic outings outside the university classroom are the strategies most valued by the students in teaching specific content of the subject Social Sciences Didactics. The results also show significant differences in the responses to each item depending on the gender variable. We conclude that students widely value university teaching practices related to implementing active methodologies, analyzing current social and environmental issues, and collaborative work dynamics. Likewise, it is observed that women have, on the whole, a better opinion than men regarding these types of methodologies and strategies.

This article describes good teaching with technology from both teachers' and students' perspectives through analyzing two distinctive cases of teaching practices with technology in K-12 settings. Data was generated from teacher interviews, classroom observation, student interviews, and student reflection journals. From the analysis of these data, the authors identified four categories of behavior that were considered emblematic of good teaching with technology: deliberate instructional design, enhanced engagement, adaptive instruction, and a respectful learning environment. In addition, while teachers restructured the curriculum and integrated technologies in a way that was more meaningful for students, teachers' beliefs were embedded in their approaches towards instructional design and teaching practices, which resulted in the seamless integration of technology with sound pedagogy in a content-specific way. The results of the study provided practical guidelines for good teaching with technology and implications on what role technology should take in teaching practices.

Abstract A teaching philosophy is described as “a vivid portrait of a person who is intentional about teaching practices and committed to his/her career” (Ohio State University Faculty & TA Development [OSUFTAD], 2005). Being intentional about what one does requires self-reflection, self-analysis, and ultimately self-knowledge. According to Palmer (1998), “We teach who we are… When I do not know myself, I cannot know who my students are,” (p.2). “Good teaching requires self-knowledge; it is a secret hidden in plain sight” (p.3). In this article, readers will be asked to reflect on their own life experiences, values and gifts that have influenced their decision to become clinical supervisors and to incorporate this personal narrative and reflection into the composition of a teaching philosophy, more specifically a philosophy of supervision.
