Investigation Process

This essay is aimed at analyzing the existing relationships between oncological problems and sport in future primary education teachers. This relationship was validated and confirmed by realizing a factorial analysis using an ad hoc-created Likert scale. To come up to certain conclusions, a non-experimental, descriptive, explanatory and correlational investigation process was carried out. The instrument used to collect the data have been made through Likert scale, which was validated in contents and with an excellent Cronbach’s alpha (0.952). The validity of construct was made with factorial analysis exploratory (KMO (0.722), Bartlett (0.000), determinant (3.266E−23)). Three different samples have been taken from 900 students (years 2017–2018–2019), being 896 subjects for research. Those persons were students from the fourth year of primary education degree at University of Jaen. The Kruskal–Wallis test allows us to keep the null hypothesis and make the P of Pearson. As a conclusion, we emphasize that there is a relationship between oncological problems and sport and future primary teachers should be informed about this relationship, as well as the importance of cancer and bones tumors and their relationship with sport, the media used to train in oncological problems may be less important.

Communication between actors involved in the internship is one of the key elements in the mentoring process and the student’s experience. In this perspective, the present study analyses the students’ and school tutors’ perception on the usefulness of some technological tools for online tutoring processes. The sample was composed by 123 students of the subjects of Prácticas Escolares I y IV of the Universidad Internacional de Valencia’s Primary Education Degree, during the course 2018/2019, and their respective 123 tutors of the internship centres. For the study, two ad hoc instruments have been designed to collect the data of variables such as the students’ and tutors’ sex and age, the internship period and the type of centre where the internship was carried out, as well as scale to measure the email, video conferencing and forum utility. The results show that email is perceived as the most useful resource for both agents and that the age, the internship period and the type of centre condition the perception of the participants.

In this article we present a case study in initial education of teachers studying the Primary Education Degree of the University of Lleida. Students prepare a teaching plan for science content linked to community resources, and present it in English. The aim was the students experience "talking science" in English. We focus on the questions: What have we experienced doing this activity in English? Students refer to impotence and frustration at expressing themselves and their ideas in English. While the data shows that there was little focus on science content, they showed the value of the exercise in their development as teachers. They experience ‘otherness’ and connect this to their future roles as teachers in multi-lingual, multi-cultural classrooms. Preparing this case study shows the value of teacher educators reflecting on their practice.

Brief narratives created by pre-service teachers on a primary education degree course at the University of Murcia (Spain) were analysed to identify the ways in which they presented historical agents in European and Spanish history. The main units of analysis were categorized by the type of agent introduced in each narrative (individual, collective and institutional), then by identifying agents as either active or passive, and finally by describing the characteristics of their actions in terms of reasons and causes/consequences. The results reveal an emphasis on individual agents and the persistence of a superficial historical master narrative that perpetuates a distorted image of history.

Abstract.The teacher affectivity and the reflection about own attitudes on future teachers’ are a key aspect in Science Teaching. There is controversy about the effect that different variables could have in this attitude. For this reason, we carry out a research to know the situation of the future science teachers’ self-efficacy, who are studying Primary Education teacher at University of Extremadura (UEX). Also, we wanted to explore the influence of different variables on self-efficacy. In this research participated a total of 227 students of a subject named “practicum”, which belong to the curricula of second year of Primary Education Degree at UEx (Spain). They completed a Likert scale questionnaire about science teachers’ self-efficacy and emotions after their first science classes like teachers; although in this study only speak about the findings related to self-efficacy. The results show that future teachers, after their first science classes like teachers, have high self-efficacy if we compared with their self-efficacy before their practice like teachers. About influence that some variables have over science teachers’ self-efficacy in training, we obtained that gender and age did not affect the aspect measured. However, we observed that science teachers’ self-efficacy has been affected by the subject (Physics and Chemistry, and Natural Sciences) and the number of classes that they have been developed about this subject (3 or less than 3, and 4 or more than 4).Keywords: Self-efficacy, science teaching, primary teachers.Resumen.La afectividad del profesorado y la reflexión de los docentes en formación sobre las propias actitudes constituyen un aspecto fundamental en la Didáctica de las Ciencias, existiendo gran controversia en relación al efecto que diversas variables pueden tener en dicho constructo actitudinal. Por ello, nos planteamos realizar una aproximación a la autoeficacia ante la didáctica de las Ciencias del profesorado de Primaria en formación de la Universidad de Extremadura (UEx). Además, pretendíamos explorar la influencia que sobre ella pueden tener determinadas variables. En el estudio participaron un total de 227 alumnos que se encontraban cursando la asignatura “Practicum” del plan de estudios del 2º curso del Grado de la especialidad de Primaria de la UEx (España). Los participantes cumplimentaron un cuestionario, de escala Likert, sobre emociones y autoeficacia docente ante la enseñanza de las ciencias tras la realización de las primeras prácticas docentes; aunque, en este trabajo, únicamente analizaremos los hallazgos relacionados con la autoeficacia. Los resultados obtenidos muestran que el profesorado en formación, tras las prácticas, posee una autoeficacia elevada ante la enseñanza de las ciencias si lo comparamos con la que presentaban antes de dicho periodo formativo. En cuanto a las variables que inciden en la autoeficacia experimentada, podemos observar que el género y la edad no afectan al constructo medido. Sin embargo, se observa que la autoeficacia de los docentes en formación ante la enseñanza de las Ciencias se ha visto afectada por dos aspectos; por una parte, se ve influida por la asignatura sobre la que se han impartido contenidos (Física y Química, y Ciencias Naturales) y, por otra, por el número de sesiones que se han desarrollado sobre la misma (3 o menos de tres, y 4 o más de 4).Palabras claves: Autoeficacia, enseñanza de las ciencias, profesorado de Primaria

The main goal of this research was to analyse the perception of trainee primary education teachers regarding motivation when using comics as a resource to teach and learn history. To achieve this objective, a history education programme was designed based on the use of comics and the outcomes evaluated via a mixed qualitative-quantitative post-test questionnaire (Likert scale 1–5). Two hundred twenty-one trainee primary teachers from the University of Alicante, Spain participated in the study during the 2020/2021 academic year. Data were collected using the IBM SPSS v.24 statistical package and AQUAD 7. The results showed that the majority of future teachers felt highly motivated when using comic resources to learn history instead of textbooks (90.5% of participants); trainee teachers recognise that the use of comics improves their capacity to be more creative and that they feel able to design and use their own comic resources to teach history in the future.

Teaching staffs in general and primary teachers in particular have been proven to contribute to great success of the comprehensive renovation process in the current Vietnamese education system. Significantly, pedagogical universities specialized in primary education should predominantly pay attention to the quality of training and meet the requirements of society. In the case of Tay Nguyen University in Vietnam, lecturer staffs involved in training of primary teachers have made great efforts in applying new teaching methods. Furthermore, it has been used effectively in many parts of the primary teacher training program is the project-based learning method. In this paper, in addition to general theories about the project-learning method, we will present the advantages of applying the teaching method in the primary teacher training program in general and in the "Crafts and Techniques" module in particular at Tay Nguyen University. Finally, discussion process of applying project-based learning and project evaluation methods of primary education students in teaching this module are preferred.

Sphere Of Influence

The religious communication is the most ancient of human communication types. The pragmatic linguistics as well as rhetoric shows a special attitude to this special type of discourse. Today the Internet text with its unlimited abilities is being in the focus of linguists’ attention. That is why the orthodox journalists are covering not only print media but also the Internet that helps to widen the sphere of influence on the people’s minds and souls. The analyses show that the media context of the Orthodox sites (such as The Orthodox people laugh and etc.) includes humorous publications that prove the necessity of studying peculiarities of religious communication and humorous texts in orthodox sites. The integrative approach including content analyses, discourse and linguistic cultural methods helps the author to come to a conclusion that orthodox media texts are distinguished by intertextuality, hypertextuality, creolism, and the authors want to influence the addressee in the most effective way. To define the communicative task, the missionary function should be taken into account which is peculiar to the religious discourse.

Abstract This article illustrates the importance of teaching Roman numerals, a component of a Latin language programme, as part of a Maths curriculum in a Spanish primary school. The aim is to contextualise the topic with concrete examples, supported by ancient Roman objects such as the milestone. The author discusses the relevance of a more integrated cross-curricular lesson to teach Roman numerals so that students better understand their use and make comparisons between ancient Roman and more modern traditions and culture, and to understand Roman influences on the modern age. Lastly, the author describes a teaching experiment in a Spanish primary school using some ad hoc materials to fulfil the aim of the study. The study outlines the positive results of integrating Roman numerals within the Maths lesson and shows that the students gained a richer and more valuable learning experience as they made reference to the concrete objects.

The Media

Access to technology and the Internet is having a positive impact on all levels, personal, family, professional and social. However, the influence of the media has not been accompanied by the promotion of media literacy. The development of the media skill among citizens, especially young people and children, in order to exercise a critical and active role in relation to the media, is a key development in this society of «media prosumers». This paper discusses the results of a research project at state level, surveying a sample of 2.143 students from Kindergarten, Primary and Secondary School, in this study using a questionnaire ad hoc online. The objetive of the research project is to identify levels of media literacy amongst children and adolescents. It can be seen that a significant portion of the sample is proficient in the media, at an acceptable level. However, and despite belonging to the generation of socalled «digital natives» the sample does not possess the skills necessary to practice as a «media prosumers». We conclude the work highlighting the necessity of complementing the digital competence established in the school curriculum with media literacy as a key element into developing a «prosumer culture». This would resolve the convergence of an urgent need to improve the training of young audiences as responsible citizens capable of consuming and producing media messages in a free, responsible, critical and creative way. El acceso a las tecnologías y a Internet está teniendo consecuencias positivas en todos los niveles, personales, familiares, profesionales y sociales. Sin embargo, la influencia de los medios de comunicación no se ha acompasado con el fomento de la alfabetización mediática. El desarrollo de la competencia mediática en la ciudadanía, y especialmente en los jóvenes y niños para que puedan ejercer de forma crítica y activa su papel ante los medios, se revela como clave en esta sociedad de «prosumidores mediáticos». En este trabajo se presentan los resultados de un proyecto de investigación de ámbito estatal con el objetivo de identificar los niveles de competencia mediática de niños y adolescentes, encuestando a una muestra de 2.143 estudiantes de Educación Infantil, Primaria, Secundaria y Bachillerato, mediante un cuestionario ad hoc online. Puede observarse que una importante parte de la muestra es competente ante los medios, en un nivel aceptable, sin embargo, y a pesar de que pertenecen a la generación de los denominados «nativos digitales», no poseen las habilidades necesarias para ejercer como «prosumidores mediáticos». Concluimos el trabajo destacando la necesidad de complementar la competencia digital establecida en el currículum escolar con la competencia mediática, como elemento clave para desarrollar una «cultura prosumidora», convergencia de imperiosa necesidad para mejorar la formación de las jóvenes audiencias como ciudadanos responsables capaces de consumir y producir mensajes mediáticos de manera libre, responsable, crítica y creativa.

The Impact

While the growing ubiquitousness of translation and interpreting has established these activities more firmly in the public consciousness, the extent of the translators’ and interpreters’ contribution to the continued functioning of cosmopolitan and participatory postmodern societies remains largely misunderstood. This paper argues that the theorisation of translation and interpretation as social phenomena and of translators/interpreters as agents contributing to the stability or subversion of social structures through their capacity to re-define the context in which they mediate constitutes a recent development in the evolution of the discipline. The consequentiality of the mediators’ agency, one of the most significant insights to come out of this new body of research, is particularly evident in situations of social, political and cultural confrontation. It is contended that this conceptualisation of agency opens up the possibility of translation being used not only to resolve conflict and tension, but also to promote them. Through a variety of theoretical and methodological approaches, the contributing authors to this special issue explore a number of sites of linguistic and cultural mediation across a range of institutional settings and textual/interactional genres, with particular emphasis on the contribution of translation and interpreting to the genealogy of conflict. The papers presented here address a number of overlapping themes, including the dialectics of governmental policy-making and translation, the interface between translation, politics and the media, the impact of the narrative affiliation of translators and interpreters as agents of mediation, the frictional dynamics of interpreter-mediated institutional encounters and the dynamics of identity negotiation.
