Astronomy Concepts

Literature review shows that many primary school teachers have poor understanding of basic astronomy contents. Therefore, the aim of the study was to introduce specific astronomical content to in-service primary school teachers through two didactic games, to evaluate the didactic games and the teachers’ knowledge and understanding before and after the implementation of the didactic games. The research included 24 in-service primary school teachers. The data were collected through the knowledge test (pre-post design) and questionnaires for each didactic game. The results showed that the teachers evaluated the didactic games as suitable for use in the classroom as they emphasized that they are educational, explicit and interesting. The implementation was identified as effective because the median for fractional gains was 0.54 and showed the medium gain in teachers’ knowledge and understanding of selected astronomy contents. It was recognized that in-service primary school teachers do not feel competent for introducing complex astronomical contents to their students. However, the presented approach could encourage in-service primary school teachers to deepen their knowledge and to teach astronomy contents with a method that is closer to their students. University teachers could point out the advantages and disadvantages of didactic games in astronomy content and discuss them with pre-service primary school teachers.

This paper analyzes from a comparative perspective the initial training of primary school teachers in four Mediterranean European countries (France, Italy, Spain and Portugal). These four countries present certain common characteristics of cultural, social, political and economic order, but also remarkable differences in their education systems and in their approaches to teacher training. This study focuses on practical training as a key element in teacher preparation, which often does not receive the level of attention it deserves. Training paradigms and their inclusion in private management and administration systems are also taken into account.

The paper presents the stating stage of the pedagogical experiment in which the levels of the development of a professional-pedagogical competence of primary school teachers have been studied. We used the following research methods: observation, conversations and testing. Diagnostic blocks of a professional-pedagogical competence of primary school teachers were identified: theoretical-methodological and psychological-pedagogical training. The total number of the participants of the pedagogical experiment was 1960 people, including 960 people in an experimental group and 952 people in a control group, besides 48 teachers-experts from pedagogical universities were involved. Statistical results of the interviewing were summed up taking into account the number of questions, the highest possible number of points received for the answers to the questions, and the total number of points according to the level of a block development that was evaluated. We state that as far as the level of a theoretical-methodological training is concerned (knowledge and skills of theoretical principles of a professional-pedagogical activity; knowledge and skills of the use of the methods of a professional pedagogical activity; knowledge of the history of the development and a current state of the achievements in a professional-pedagogical activity), big amount of primary school teachers corresponded to a sufficient level. This can be explained with teaching the subjects of humane and fundamental training at pedagogical universities. The results of the experiment have shown that the process of the development of a professional-pedagogical competence of primary school teachers requires the improvement, it becomes possible with providing the readiness of an individual for distance education; the organizational-technical support of distance education; the teaching-methodological support of distance education; the organization of the process of distance education on an individual basis; a continuous psychological-pedagogical support of distance education; a system improvement of the qualification of distance education organizers.
