RESUMO Assente na ideia do professor como agente transformador, apresenta-se a abordagem estratégica adotada numa escola EB1 com jardim de infância, com vista à promoção do uso das tecnologias digitais como enriquecimento das estratégias de ensino e de aprendizagem, por iniciativa de uma das professoras em resposta às fracas condições existentes na escola para que tal fosse possível com a naturalidade esperada. Foi criado o laboratório TIC, reunindo-se os recursos tecnológicos existentes na escola e criando-se diferentes ambientes de trabalho (à semelhança das “salas de aula do futuro”), onde são desenvolvidos projetos, articulados transversalmente com o currículo, e se promove o desenvolvimento de competências em TIC e de competências transversais. Professores e alunos da escola reconhecem que as atividades realizadas no laboratório TIC têm constituído experiências de aprendizagem enriquecedoras e significativas, que permitem aprofundar os conhecimentos adquiridos e desenvolver competências, como ilustram os resultados preliminares que se apresentam neste texto. Palavras-Chave: Tecnologias digitais. Professores. Práticas pedagógicas. Ambientes educativos inovadores. ABSTRACT Based on the idea of the teacher as an agent of transformation, we present the strategic approach used in one primary school with kindergarten, with the purpose of promoting the use of digital technologies as an enrichment of the teaching and learning strategies, under the initiative of one of the teachers in response to the weak conditions in the school so that it would become possible with the expected naturality. An ICT (Information and Communication Technology) laboratory was created. Through gathering all the school’s technological resources and providing different work environments (similarly to the “classrooms of the future”), projects -transversally articulated with the curriculum - are developed, and ICT and transversal skills are promoted. School teachers and students recognize that the activities performed in the ICT lab have been enriching and meaningful learning activities, which allow the deepening of acquired knowledge and the development of skills, as illustrated by the preliminary results presented in this text. Keywords: Digital technologies. Teachers, Pedagogical Practices. Innovative learning environments.

Collaboration is an important aspect of how our world functions today and an element at the core of rich learning opportunities. The role of educational institutions is one that provides provoking settings so that learning is deep and sustained well beyond the classroom walls. Learners are currently in a paradigm where they are able to learn at all hours of the day; they are no longer in a framework where learning is exclusive to a classroom. Teachers and students at The Bishop Strachan School are exploring this through the various uses of teaching and learning strategies and enriching these strategies with Web 2.0 applications. This chapter will present early explorations in the school with Wiki pages, social networking tools, such as NINGs, interactive timelines, and real-time applications, such as Google apps. Each of the cases provides an authentic learning experience for students and moves the student’s work out into the world.

This article argues that for disciplinary literacy to be addressed successfully by subject-area teachers and students, it needs to choose a different path than the one it has been on. It explains how the road disciplinary literacy has traveled to date has been marked by justifiable subject-area teacher resistance to requirements to infuse literacy teaching and learning strategies into their teaching without regard for disciplinary epistemologies or local perspectives. It argues for an alternative approach that immerses literacy experts in the hybridity of classroom disciplinary learning spaces with respect for literacy and disciplinary discourses as well as school and community subcultural beliefs, practices, and resources. It examines the ways such hybridity has been addressed by disciplinary literacy researchers in the Journal of Literacy Research to date, and it offers recommendations for advancing research, practice, and policy.

This article argues for the implementation of Education for Sustainability (EfS) through the Humanities learning areas in primary education, as together they can deliver powerful knowledge, concepts, skills, values and actions that prepare students to create and participate in a more sustainable future. To overcome barriers to EfS, such as, lack of teacher preparedness, conceptual understanding, enthusiasm and confidence in teaching controversial issues, greater exposure to and experience in EfS not only during pre-service teacher education, but also as continued professional development, is critical to encourage and support teachers in implementing meaningful and transformative EfS practices into their teaching It is widely recognised that establishing a democratic classroom environment and taking a student-centred constructivist approach to teaching and learning strategies, including the cooperative learning, questioning, discussion and an inquiry-based learning model, are the best suited processes and pedagogical practices for EfS.

In recent times the types of teaching and learning strategies adopted within higher education in British music conservatoires have been reviewed and reformed. This paper provides a case study of some of the newer practices adopted by one such institution, the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. It focuses on the work of the Performance and Communication Skills Department, and, drawing on participant observations, makes a detailed analysis of the success of the implementation of the teaching and learning aims and objectives. The findings suggest that, not only are the changes adopted by the conservatoire useful, but also that they are beneficial to teachers and students at a number of levels.

O presente estudo tem o propósito verificar a adesão dos docentes e os entraves na utilização das TIC no processo ensino e aprendizagem numa IES privada, contribuindo para a criação de novas práticas pedagógicas ou de uma ciberpedagogia confrontando com o moduz operandi na docência. A pesquisa utilizou-se de reuniões de grupos e aplicação de questionário para professores dos cursos de Administração, Biomedicina, Contábeis, Direito, Enfermagem, Serviço Social e Zootecnia. Os dados foram interpretados por meio do círculo hermenêutico dialético (CHD). Os sentidos extraídos das falas dos docentes apontam como resultados preliminares que a TIC estimula o estudo, otimiza tempo e trabalho, favorece a autonomia do estudante e a responsabilidade.   PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Ensino e aprendizagem; Tecnologias da informação e da comunicação; Prática docente; Formação docente.     ABSTRACT The present study has the purpose of verifying the adherence of teachers and the obstacles to the use of ICT in the teaching and learning process in a private HEI, contributing to the creation of new pedagogical practices or a cyberpedagogy confronting the moduz operandi in teaching.

Purpose: This study aims to offer guidance to lecturers and undergraduate midwifery students in using reflective practice and to offer a roadmap for academic staff accompanying undergraduate midwifery students on international clinical placements. Design: Drawing on reflection within the Constructivist Theory, the Gibbs Reflective Cycle (GRC) provides opportunities to review experiences and share new knowledge by working through five stages—feelings, evaluation, analysis, conclusion and action plan. Findings:  The reflections of the midwifery students in this study provide insight into expectations prior to leaving for international placement, practical aspects of what local knowledge is beneficial, necessary teaching and learning strategies and the students’ cultural awareness growth. Implications: The analysis and a reflective approach have wider implications for universities seeking to improve preparations when embarking on an international clinical placement. It can also inform practices that utilise reflection as an impetus to shape midwifery students to be more receptive to global health care issues.
