IDEA Line B3 is a two-year coaching program for teachers who wish to be updated on how to enhance their capacity to effectively implement specific technologies in their teaching practice. The project is a natural extension of a previous three-year project aiming at fighting students’ disengagement through the implementation of extracurricular technological activities. Activities resulted attractive to students and participating school teachers expressed the need to be coached and supported in using critically technologies in educational contexts, with special attention to their implementation to didactics. Technology is not only useful in delivering lessons, but it also is useful for course preparation. In this paper we shall illustrate the project organization, its objectives, the target group, the training activities. We shall also describe the platform developed to store and share educational material and scenarios produced during the training period, the communication activities carried out, the methodology adopted, the organizational procedures as well as the monitoring activities. We shall illustrate the 3 themes object of this year’s program and their related technologies: School Without Walls (with the use of Augmented Reality – AR); Computational Thinking (with coding, educational robotics, and Internet of Things – IoT); Interdisciplinarity (with Artificial Intelligence – AI).

Experimental Skills

Целью работы стала оценка сформированности экспериментальных умений по физике. Достижение поставленной цели было основано на таких методах исследования, как анализ психолого-педагогической и методической литературы по проблеме формирования экспериментальных умений школьников, а также проведение опытно-поисковой работы. В качестве результатов проведённых нами исследований стала разработка трёхуровневой структуры экспериментальных умений и её адаптация к оценке сформированности экспериментальных умений учащихся после первого года обучения физике. Новизна работы заключается в разработке методики оценки экспериментальных умений школьников с учётом психологических факторов забывания осознанного учебного материала. Полученные результаты смогут найти широкое применение в работе школьных учителей, а также в ходе педагогической практики студентов. The aim of the work was to assess the formation of experimental skills in physics. Achievement of this goal was based on such research methods as analysis of psychological, pedagogical and methodological literature on the problem of the formation of experimental skills of schoolchildren, as well as conducting experimental search work. As a result of our research, the development of a three-level structure of experimental skills and its adaptation to the assessment of the formation of experimental skills of students after the first year of teaching physics was developed. The novelty of the work lies in the development of a methodology for assessing the experimental skills of schoolchildren, taking into account the psychological factors of forgetting the conscious educational material. The results obtained can find wide application in the work of school teachers, as well as in the course of student teaching practice.

The Impact

A modern school deals with a generation of students who were born and grown up in a digital environment and require other teaching methods. Changes in the technological and social conditions of modern society need new professional skills, which are often called “21st century skills”. These skills should be devel-oped starting from the primary school, as they are psychological and behavioural, rather than practical. Game-based learning and gamification are effective means of such skills development. The use of video games in teaching practice is studied multifaceted, along with formats and requirements of educational game, methods for effectiveness assessment, and the effect of games on students. The controver-sial nature of game-based learning effect on students require deeper research, as the increase in motivation and learning efficiency cannot be disputed, as well as the negative impact of a long gaming on cognitive abilities, emotional state and social skills of students. The study tested both an increase in the motivation and attraction of school students for the learning process, and the impact on the prac-tical results of information assimilation. There was conducted a survey on the re-sults of the application of game training to determine the motivation and attraction of students. Likewise, we counted time, spent by the study and control group, for mastering the main educational material and the post-class study of game content and the educational material it presents. A comparative test was conducted on the results of educational material comprehension to determine the effectiveness of the methodology in mastering knowledge. The group, with game-based learning and gamification applied, showed an increase in motivation and attraction to learning, students paid additional efforts for assimilating the material studied, and also showed significantly higher learning outcomes compared to the control group.

New Zealand primary school teachers are expected to regularly reflect on their teaching practice in order to consider the implications of past teaching on future planning. Aligned to teachers’ ongoing reflection, the New Zealand Curriculum (Ministry of Education, 2007) contains a section on effective pedagogy—teacher actions promoting student learning, which includes a Teaching as Inquiry Cycle (pp. 34–35). Embedded within their inquiry, teachers consider the teaching-learning relationship and often turn to frameworks of knowledge for guidance. This article shares the implications of using a framework of teacher knowledge in research. While the framework used contained much detail for the researcher, it overlapped categories and at the same time lacked acknowledgement of some important concepts for teachers in classroom practice. Findings from using a framework in this research were combined with findings from previous research to formulate the Wheel of Professional Knowledge, which was developed for mathematics teachers to use when reflecting on their practice.

Course Material

Instruction materials help students to acquire more memorable information. Instruction materials have an important effect on providing more permanent and simple way of learning in every step of education. Instruction materials are the most frequently used by primary school teachers. Primary school teachers should support their lectures with instruction materials in order to provide permanent learning. The Teaching Technologies and Material Designing (TTMD) course which is one of the compulsory courses that students must take aims to acquire students the information and skills related with the preparation and use of materials. Evaluation of TTMD course is important in terms of the effectiveness of the course which provides the opportunity of motivating the students to learn by attracting their attention, keeping their attentions alive, making abstract concepts more concrete, facilitating the acquisition of knowledge in an organized way in the process of learning and teaching. In this context, it was aimed to determine the opinions of students in the department of primary school teaching about preparation and use of materials through teaching practice which is done within TTMD course in this study. This study is a descriptive study based on qualitative data. The sample of this research included 37 students from the department of primary school teaching who took TTMD course in the second semester in 2014-2015 academic year at Ataturk Education Faculty of Near East University or students who took this course in previous academic years. The data of this research were collected with structured interview form. According to the results, it was revealed that primary school teachers’ candidates attach importance to prepare and use materials based on their answers about the use and preparation of materials in instruction. When the opinions of primary school teachers candidates about the criteria that they give value in preparing and using materials, it was figured out that they emphasize the criteria such as suitability for student level, suitability for aim, simplicity and easy comprehensibility. Furthermore, the results indicated that primary school teachers’ candidates mostly experience difficulty in finding suitable materials and tools for the aim. It was also revealed that the majority of primary school teachers’ candidates stated that they will use materials and a few of them indicated that they will not use materials since they find materials as insufficient based on their answers about the question asking if they will use the materials which they prepared in TTMD course when they begin teaching profession. Keywords: primary school, primary teaching candidates, teaching technologies and material designing (TTMD) course, material design, instruction materials
