Este artigo resulta de um projeto de investigação centrado na necessidade de equacionar a arte contemporânea, na formação inicial de professores, no horizonte das transformações atuais – o que implica pensar as mudanças no ensino-aprendizagem, a descrença dos sistemas de justificação educacionais, a mutação do conceito de arte e das práticas artísticas e as mudanças dos comportamentos, perspetivando o futuro. Este trabalho foi ao encontro dos seguintes objetivos: implementar e avaliar um programa pedagógico na formação inicial dos professores assente na arte contemporânea e identificar as competências que a arte contemporânea promove nos estudantes e que concorrem para o seu perfil profissional. Privilegia-se um quadro paradigmático de investigação numa perspetiva interpretativa e adota-se uma metodologia de estudo de caso que envolveu 300 estudantes de Licenciaturas em Educação Básica ao longo de um semestre. As conclusões emergentes do estudo evidenciam a importância artístico-pedagógica da arte contemporânea para o perfil profissional do professor, bem como a necessidade de uma reforma curricular, visando à inovação dos processos de formação onde a arte contemporânea seja contemplada.

Therefore, the study was conducted to investigate the availability, usability, usefulness and on the other hand barriers to the successful integration of instructional technology in private teacher training colleges in Khyber Pukhtunkhwa (Pakistan). The main objectives of the study were to investigate the availability and usability of instructional technology in private teacher training colleges, the usefulness of instructional technology in teacher training programmes, and to find out the main barriers in the way of successful integration of instructional technology in teacher training programs. All the principals, teachers and prospective teachers working and studying in private teacher training colleges in Khyber Pukhtunkhwa constituted as the population of this study. In total, 24 private colleges out of 48 were selected randomly and from each of these colleges, one principal, 5 teachers and 15 prospective teachers were selected randomly as the sample of this ongoing research. The study was descriptive in nature. Three questionnaires were developed for principals, teachers and for prospective teachers as research instruments for the collection of data.

This study was concerned with perspectives of student teacher trainees’ preparedness and adoption on integration of ICTs in public teacher training colleges. Effective preparedness and adoption on integration of ICTs contributes greatly to the quality of education delivered in an instructional process. The rationale was based on the view that properly designed and integrated ICTs add value to teaching and learning environment on which contact hours are limited. The curriculum needs academic standards and the development of digital age skills for the 21st century learners to fit in the global job market. The findings revealed that there was a significant relationship. However, preparedness on integration of ICTs was at an infant stage. The study also revealed that the training is only offering pedagogy, content, knowledge but not the technology which make integration a reality in the classroom setting. Inadequate infrastructure to enhance integration and that the student teacher trainees revealed lack policy that will help adoption on integration of ICTs in teaching learning process.

Communicative competence is one of the key competences in initial teacher training, and the development of this competence is made more significant by coordinated planning across several subjects. Since communication is fundamental to the teaching and learning process, care must be taken to enhance its written, oral and non-verbal aspects. In this study we analyze university students’ self-perception of their communicative competence after they have completed an interdisciplinary project that integrated various communication skills through active and coordinated teaching-learning methodologies in academic-professional collaboration, theoretical sessions and workshops with experts. To do so, we implemented a longitudinal training program with 53 students from the Degree in Primary Education in which the students created a written story in the first year before transforming the story into oral and scenic formats in later courses. Based on the rubrics of the generic competences of the University of , we designed an mixed questionnaire. After the questionnaire had been validated by experts, the data were collected. Our results show a generally positive and critically constructive assessment. They also indicate an increase in student motivation, since the workshops help students better understand the contents of the subjects, thus underlining their practical nature. Interdisciplinary collaborative work that implements comprehensive and inclusive learning experiences should therefore be encouraged in initial teacher training programs.

Este artigo visa refletir sobre a estrutura da formação continuada de professores, a partir da análise de diferentes concepções que regem e orientam suas práticas. A partir de uma revisão crítica da literatura, do tipo opinativa, percebe-se a existência de diferentes modelos estruturantes, influenciando sobremaneira o ensino, a aprendizagem e a formação dos professores. Estes modelos de formação se diferenciam em relação aos conceitos, objetivos e metodologias pelos quais são desenvolvidos a partir de distintos interesses e, por sua vez, moldam a natureza das aprendizagens docentes. Ao descrever tais perspectivas, busca-se relacioná-las com a realidade das práticas adotadas e desenvolvidas na atualidade pelos sistemas de ensino e nas escolas. O conhecimento destes modelos se mostra essencial para refletir sobre a associação das práticas de formação com as necessidades institucionais, dos professores e seu desenvolvimento profissional. Uma formação mais sintonizada com as necessidades dos professores será tanto mais efetiva considerando que, assim, mobilizará sua atenção e empenho em articular a teoria e a prática para a resolução de problemas relativos ao ensino e à aprendizagem, refletindo na melhoria da qualidade do processo educativo e, consequentemente, de todo o sistema educacional.Palavras-chave: Formação de professores.

Through a Critical Review of the Literature, opinionated type, we see the existence of different structural models, greatly influencing the teaching, learning and teacher training. The models differ in relation to the concepts, objectives and methodologies which are developed from different interests and, in turn, shape the nature of teaching learning. With the description of these perspectives, we seek to relate them to the reality of the practices adopted and developed by education systems and schools. Knowledge of these models becomes essential to reflect on the association of training practices to the needs of institutions, teachers and professional development. Training proposals guided by the teachers' needs will be more effective because their attention and efforts will turn to articulate the theory and practice to solve teaching and learning problems, reflecting the improvement of the quality of the educational process and, consequently, of all the educational system.Keywords: Teacher training.
