The creation of virtual learning environments requires extensive pedagogical, methodological and technical knowledge that generates relevant training processes and contributes to the development of student learning. That is why this article presents a proposal for a theoretical framework from which environments and scenarios can be designed and developed based on the Internet habits of students and teachers. Various theoretical and author proposals are integrated that allow understanding the complexity of this great task not only for those who work in the non-school modality, but now for those who have had to make the transition from face-to-face to virtual, which has meant significant changes in their teaching practice, but not only for them, but the students have acquired new habits or reinforced those they already had in order to face the new challenges posed by changes in reality.

Este artigo tem como objetivo discutir os conceitos de Prática como Componente Curricular (PCC) existentes na literatura e problematiza-los, buscando fortalecer tais questões no âmbito da Educação, em particular da Educação Matemática. Para isso, contextualizamos a ideia da PCC a partir de documentos legais já instituídos referentes à formação inicial de professores e apresentamos um panorama das pesquisas e concepções de PCC presentes na literatura. Nesse movimento, observamos as dificuldades e distorções na implementação da carga horária de PCC nos cursos de Licenciatura em Matemática. Além disso, refletimos sobre uma disciplina específica com carga horária de PCC, que tem como tema principal as tecnologias digitais. Defendemos que a PCC esteja efetivamente presente nos cursos, buscando cada vez mais superar a dicotomia entre conhecimento específico e conhecimento pedagógico e enfatizamos que apenas políticas públicas não bastam para que mudanças efetivas aconteçam no contexto da formação inicial de professores.  This paper aims to discuss the concepts of Practice as a Curricular Component (PCC) in the literature, seeking to consolidate this questions in the field of Education, in particular Mathematics Education. For this, we contextualize the idea of the PCC as from legal documents regarding the initial formation of teachers and we show an overview of the research and conceptions of PCC present in the literature. In this movement, we observed the difficulties and distortions in the implementation of hours of PCC in degree courses in mathematics. In addition, we reflect on a specific discipline with hours of PCC, that has as its main topic digital technologies.  We advocate that the PCC be effectively present in the graduation, seeking to overcome the dichotomy between specific knowledge and pedagogical knowledge. We emphasize that only public policies are not enough for effective changes to occur in the context of initial formation teacher.

The study examined gender dimension in the development of effective teaching skills among distance education (DE)students. The conceptual framework for the study is gender mainstreaming which centres on pluralistic approach todiversity issues among both men and women. A longitudinal developmental research design was used for the study.A sample size of 376 distance education students made up of 173(46.01%) female and 203 (53.99%) male werepurposefully selected from 5 regional study centres of College of Distance Education, University of Cape Coast(UCC) across Ghana. Data was collected using the Teaching Practice (Practicum) Assessment Form ‘A’ of UCC.The two research questions sought to find out the performance of male and female DE students on On-CentreTeaching Practice (OCTP) and School-Based Teaching Practice (SBTP) respectively. Five hypotheses were alsoformulated to guide the study. Results of the study revealed that the teaching skills acquired by both male and femaleDE students during OCTP and SBTP were good. However, a statistically significant difference exists between theteaching skills acquired by male and female DE students. Similarly, gender was found to have effect on theacquisition of teaching skills. It is recommended that all policy makers in the area of teaching practice should bemindful of gender issues in the development of teaching skills. Institutions involved in training teachers usingdistance education mode should stress the four levels of effective teaching skills assessed in this paper formeaningful practical teaching during teaching practice.

AbstractIn this paper we examine the impacts of the global pandemic in 2020 on different levels of education system, particularly looking at the changes in teaching practice. The health emergency caused closure of schools, and online distance education became a temporary solution, creating discomfort for many teachers for whom this was the first time engaged with online education. In our research we investigated two important dimensions, namely, how technology was used and what the newfound distance meant in terms of the teacher-student relationship. The article offers insights into experiences of teaching from lockdown reported by 41 teachers at primary, vocational and higher education level in the region of Vaud, Switzerland. This comparative qualitative research has provided an opportunity for an in-depth analysis of the main similarities and differences at three distinctly different educational levels and a possibility to learn more about common coping practices in teaching. The study gives a contribution to a lack of comparative studies of teacher experiences at different educational levels. Results show two dimensions in handling the lockdown crisis: mastering the digital tools and the importance of student–teacher interaction. Whilst the interviewed teachers largely overcame the challenges of mastering digital tools, optimizing the quality interaction and ensuring the transactional presence online remained a problem. This indicates the importance of the social aspect in education at all levels, and implies that teacher support needs to expand beyond technical pedagogical knowledge of online distance education.
