The present study is aimed at presenting CLIL university teachers' attitudes towards the implementation of bilingual education at university. Results show that content teachers who take part in CLIL teacher training courses tend to agree on certain positive as well as negative beliefs regarding bilingual education at university. Once the information obtained from the survey has been examined, this chapter will focus on the reasons identified as to reject the implementation of CLIL in higher education. This work will then offer possible solutions to the hindering zones identified in CLIL teaching by describing a CLIL teacher training formula which should help future CLIL professors in their daily tasks.

Resumen:Estudios recientes muestran que las actitudes positivas del profesorado hacia las TIC son un factor de incremento de uso e integración curricular. Sin embargo, existe poca investigación focalizada en la diferencia que existe entre estas actitudes positivas hacia las TIC y el uso efectivo en el aula. En contraste con estos estudios, en este trabajo se exploran las actitudes del profesorado, pero también se indaga sobre el uso real de las mismas en la escuela. Más concretamente, el objetivo es mostrar qué actitudes manifiesta el profesorado hacia las TIC y su uso e integración en el currículum. Se utilizó como técnica la encuesta y como instrumento un cuestionario con respuestas tipo Likert que constaba de 154 ítems. Se obtuvieron, para su análisis, 288 cuestionarios realizados por docentes de Educación Infantil a Bachillerato activo. Como resultados se constata una actitud positiva hacia la integración de la tecnología en el aula. Sin embargo, también se confirma que su uso curricular es poco frecuente. Lo anterior tiene diferentes implicaciones entre las que destaca el diseño de cursos de formación del profesorado entendidos como conjunto de contenidos vinculados y contextualizados a la escuela y no como un curso de informática con una metodología tradicional. Abstract:Recent studies show that positive attitudes of teachers towards ICT are a factor of increase in use. The objective of this work is to show what kind of attitudes expressed towards ICT non-university teachers and the real integration in the curriculum of ICT. Specifically, the aim is to show teachers ‘attitudes towards ICT and its use and curriculum. A quasi-experimental design was carried out. The survey was used as a technique and as instrument a questionnaire Likert-type of 154 items. 288 questionnaires were obtained for analysis from teachers since kindergarten to high school in active. The results showed a response positive towards the integration of the ICT. However, also confirms that curricular use is rare in the classroom. This has different implications, notably the design of teacher training courses, understood as a set of content-related and contextualized to the school and not as a course in computer science with a traditional methodology.

The main aim of this research is to understand future teachers' attitudes, knowledge and needs about Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). These courses may be a supplementary resource in higher education that can fill fields of knowledge which the curriculum could not encompass. In addition, this type of course can contribute significantly to both initial and continuing teacher training. For this reason, understanding students' perspectives on MOOCs is essential. For this reason a questionnaire was administered to students of the Bachelor in Teaching of Childhood Education, Bachelor in Teaching of Primary Education and Master in Training Teachers of Secondary Education (n=145). The results indicate that a large part of the sample confirm not that they do not know anything about MOOCs. The chapter concludes that universities need to train future teachers in MOOC culture. Keeping the focus on the book section “RIA and education practice of MOOCs”, this chapter provides a valuable research insight into the topic of “educational training design.”

This chapter aims to elucidate needs and competences of content teachers participating in higher education multilingual programs in order to devise a tailored training program for those contexts in which the language is not used naturally, and in which the teachers usually present some language difficulties to deliver, and students to comprehend, the lessons. The chapter starts with a discussion of the teachers' needs and follows with an analysis of the competences for CLIL teaching, offering a list of indicators which are embraced in three main dimensions: language, methodology, and emotion. These indicators provide the framework for teacher trainers and other stakeholders to design training courses. The methodology of the training has also been discussed and advised, taking the form of workshops, team teaching, reflective teaching, and other options, in both short-term and long-term bases.

The evaluation enables making decision by monitoring educational actions, pointing out the progress of students, as well as highlighting the gaps in teaching and learning, providing information for teachers, managers and students, giving opportunities for further training in higher education. With this, the research starts from the following question: how did the evaluative practices of the teachers in the Degree in History? The object of the research was based on evaluative practices in higher education, specifically in two undergraduate courses. The objective was to understand the evaluation practices in undergraduate courses in History, to conceptualize evaluation of teaching and learning and to describe the evaluation practices carried out by the coordinators. The research, of bibliographical and field character, has used the studies of Cavalcante and Mello (2015), Moraes (2014), Tardif (2008), Viana (2012) and others. The methodology of qualitative approach was developed through semi-structured interviews with the managers. The managers' revelations evidenced that the evaluation was carried out by the teachers, autonomously, without the assistance of the Coordination, being no longer characterized as didactic-pedagogical subsidy to foster improvements in teaching and learning in teacher training courses, reducing to measurement conception focused on the application of instruments, on the quantification of learning and without the conception of measurement focused on the application of instruments, the quantification of learning and without feedback students.Resumo A avaliação possibilita a tomada de decisão promovendo o acompanhamento das ações de ensino, apontando o progresso dos discentes, assim como releva as lacunas no ensino e aprendizagem, fornecendo informações para os docentes, gestores e estudantes, dando ensejo ao aperfeiçoamento formativo no ensino superior. Com isso a pesquisa parte do seguinte questionamento: como se desenvolveram as práticas avaliativas dos professores nos cursos de licenciatura em História? O objeto da investigação aportou-se nas práticas avaliativas no ensino superior, de modo específico, em dois cursos de licenciatura. Objetivou-se compreender as práticas avaliativas nos cursos de licenciatura em História, conceituar avaliação do ensino e da aprendizagem e descrever as práticas avaliativas pautadas pelos coordenadores. A pesquisa, de caráter bibliográfico e de campo recorreu aos estudos de Cavalcante e Mello (2015), Moraes (2014), Tardif (2008), Viana (2012), dentre outros. A metodologia de abordagem qualitativa foi desenvolvida mediante entrevistas semiestruturadas com os gestores. As revelações dos gestores evidenciaram que avaliação era realizada pelos docentes, de modo autônomo, sem o auxílio das Coordenações, deixando de ser caracterizada como subsídio didático-pedagógico para fomentar melhorias no ensino e aprendizagem nos cursos de formação de professores, reduzindo-se a concepção de medida centrada na aplicação de instrumentos, na quantificação das aprendizagens e sem feedback aos estudantes. Resumen La evaluación posibilita la toma de decisiones promoviendo el acompañamiento de las acciones de enseñanza, apuntando el progreso de los alumnos, así como releva las lagunas en la enseñanza y el aprendizaje, proporcionando informaciones para los docentes, gestores y estudiantes, dando lugar al perfeccionamiento formativo en la enseñanza superior. Con ello la investigación parte del siguiente cuestionamiento: cómo se desarrollaron las prácticas de evaluación de los profesores en los cursos de licenciatura en Historia? El objeto de la investigación se aportó en las prácticas evaluativas en la enseñanza superior, de modo específico, en dos cursos de grado. Se objetivó comprender las prácticas evaluativas en los cursos de licenciatura en Historia, conceptuar la evaluación de la enseñanza y el aprendizaje y describir las prácticas de evaluación realizadas por los coordinadores.

Open education has come forward as a contemporary vogue across all areas of education including teacher training over the globe. Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) are trending concept that aim to fulfill the prospects of digital openness for providing e-Training to university teachers by utilizing novel open learning environments. MOOCs make it possible for large number of teachers to get involved in worldwide collaborative learning experiences through open e-Training courses. As technology adaptation in education is relatively slower in Pakistan, MOOCs are still uncommon in teacher training practices. This paper contemplates the significance of MOOCs in teachers' e-Training. This study also explores the awareness and utilization level of university teachers for MOOCs, and compares the perceptions of teachers of public and private universities about benefits and obstacles for utilizing MOOCs in e-Trainings and their willingness to participate in e-Training through MOOCs. 50 Teachers from five public universities and five private universities were taken as a sample on the basis of familiarity and participation in online training programs. Existing literature and research studies were reviewed to find out the significance of MOOCs in teacher training programs. A survey questionnaire was administered to explore the awareness and utilization level of university teachers for MOOCs. Findings revealed that MOOCs have gained substantial importance in university teacher trainings of most of the countries of the world, whereas university teachers of Pakistan are not well aware of potential and use of MOOCs in education. Also, teachers of private universities tend to show more interest and inclination towards using MOOCs for their professional e-Training courses. It was recommended to use MOOCs in professional e-Training of university teachers of Pakistan to align them with the global trends of open education and also provide them opportunities to learn in collaborative environments for professional elevation in a global age.

ResumoA presente discussão é recorte de uma pesquisa longitudinal, em andamento desde 2011, com objetivo geral de acompanhar processos de formação inicial para a docência, em distintas instituições públicas de ensino superior, com vistas à compreensão de como se dá a evolução da aprendizagem profissional, tendo como sujeitos alunos e professores de cursos de Pedagogia, de universidades localizadas em duas regiões brasileiras distintas. Assim, nos limites deste texto, com a intenção de discutir a imagem que os professores dos cursos de formação inicial detêm sobre o que é ser professor e o que é ser formador de professores, são apresentados dados obtidos no ano de 2012, junto a 33 sujeitos, professores de duas universidades públicas. A análise dos dados nos permite inferir que o processo de formação dos formadores de professores é de autoformação e de um saber construído sobre a experiência, na situação de autodidatismo em potencial e em aceleração.Palavras-chave: Formação inicial de professores; Formadores de professores; Ensino Superior.What trainers of future teachers think about being teacher and training teachersAbstractThis discussion is part of a longitudinal study, ongoing since 2011, with the overall objective to follow up the processes of initial training for teaching in different public institutions of higher education, aiming to understanding how it is the development of professional learning.
