A framework presenting the multiple definitions of options to differentiate the curriculum for gifted students is outlined. The framework also conveys the accompanying characteristics to consider to facilitate the appropriate selection and implementation of these options across grade levels and subject areas. The framework enables teachers to examine each of the options to determine their feasibility to differentiate curriculum to meet the educational expectations for gifted students and the perceived needs of the teaching/learning processes.

In this article, we focus on the contingency between learning and instruction in physical education (PE). We argue that the complex interconnectedness of teachers’ instruction and students’ learning processes should be studied using a unit of analysis that expresses the relationship between the two factors. A contingency perspective foregrounds the individual differences between different learners and how a teacher regards these differences. Furthermore, it has the potential to provide a precise lens for empirical research on how the students’ situations shape the evolution of the teaching--learning process. Based on scaffolding research and adaptive teaching research, which draws on socio-constructivist foundations, we call this unit of analysis ‘contingency’. We outline a framework of research that suggests depicting contingency dimensions, respective instructional continua, and contingency rules when investigating contingency in PE. Furthermore, autonomy as a core contingency dimension for PE and methodological issues will be discussed.

The Impact

Purpose Quality management systems are being used more frequently in educational institutions, although their application has generated a certain amount of disagreement among education experts, who have at times questioned their suitability and usefulness for improving schools. The purpose of this paper is to contribute to this discussion by providing additional knowledge on the effects in educational institutions of implementing quality management systems. Specifically, this study investigates teachers’ and managers’ perception of the impact that quality management systems have on one essential dimension of schools, the teaching–learning processes, with impact being understood as sustained medium- and long-term organisational change. Design/methodology/approach The responses were analysed and classified into a set of sub-dimensions linked to quality management processes in a total of 29 Spanish primary and secondary education schools that have used such systems for at least three years. Findings The results showed that, according to the respondents, the following sub-dimensions were improving as a result of implementing quality management plans: teaching and learning processes, the analysis of student results, tutoring, consideration of attitudes and values and assessment processes. Conversely, quality management systems did not seem to have a clear impact on the teaching methodologies used by teachers or on family involvement in student learning. In fact, the perceived impact in these sub-dimensions varied among teachers of public and private schools as well as when comparing different regional autonomous communities. Originality/value As the main objective of a school is to guarantee student learning, one of the essential purposes of school quality assurance systems is to perform all the activities aimed at ensuring high levels of student performance.

RESUMEN En la actual sociedad de la información y del conocimiento se observa cómo la proliferación y el auge de los dispositivos móviles, hacen surgir nuevos modelos de aprendizaje que reformulan las metodologías didácticas, organizativas, y de formación de los currículos, para innovar en educación (Moreno Martínez, Leiva Olivencia, & Matas Terrón, 2016). Los estudios que identifican las tecnologías emergentes que podrían impactar en el aprendizaje, la enseñanza y la investigación, prevén el aumento del uso y la incorporación de dispositivos y aplicaciones móviles en las aulas (Reig, 2013; Reig & Vílchez, 2013). Destaca el aprendizaje basado en juegos o gamificación, que permite desarrollar procesos de enseñanza-aprendizaje que facilitan la cohesión, la integración y la motivación, potenciando la creatividad del alumnado. Crear juegos entretenidos motivará al alumnado para que participe de forma activa en clase, fomentará una sana competencia entre los jugadores, y hará del aprendizaje algo más divertido (Aleksić-Maslać, Rašić, & Vranešić, 2018). Utilizando Kahoot en dispositivos móviles como soporte para las clases de Dirección de Operaciones del Grado en Administración y Dirección de Empresas de la Universidad de Cádiz, se consiguió motivar al alumnado y, aun existiendo otros factores determinantes, mejorar sus resultados de evaluación.   ABSTRACT In today's information and knowledge society, the proliferation and rise of mobile devices has led to the emergence of new learning models that reformulate didactic, organizational and curricular training methodologies in order to innovate in education (Moreno Martínez, Leiva Olivencia, & Matas Terrón, 2016). Studies that identify emerging technologies that could impact learning, teaching and research, foresee increased use and incorporation of mobile devices and applications in classrooms (Reig, 2013; Reig & Vílchez, 2013). Learning based on games or gamification stands out, which allows the development of teaching-learning processes that facilitate cohesion, integration and motivation, boosting students' creativity. Creating entertaining games will motivate students to participate actively in class, encourage healthy competition between players, and make learning more fun (Aleksić-Maslać, Rašić, & Vranešić, 2018). Using Kahootin mobile devices as support for the classes of Operations Management of the Degree in Business Administration and Management of the University of Cadiz, it was possible to motivate the students and, although there are other determining factors, to improve their evaluation results.

A educação escolar indígena disseminou-se entre os povos indígenas do Brasil, tornando-se mais ou menos acessível, de acordo com os contextos políticos estaduais e municipais responsáveis pela educação. Os preceitos e regulamentos da Constituição Federal exigem que as escolas indígenas sejam específicas, diferenciadas e bilíngues. Esses preceitos são, em certo grau, confrontados com barreiras socio-culturais impostas pelos responsáveis pela educação escolar indígena que não são indígenas e que, por isso, não possuem o entendimento necessário para desenvolver processos de ensino-aprendizagem específicos para cada povo. Esta fala é uma reflexão sobre esse contexto, baseada em experiências com pesquisas e estudos sobre a educação escolar indígena envolvendo povos Xerénte, Krahô, Pyhcopcatijí, Ràmkokamekrá-Canela e Apinajé. Demonstramos que um entendimento claro do ensino específico do processo de aprendizagem de cada povo é essencial para implementar os preceitos constitucionais relativos à educação escolar indígena.

This paper will explore the implementation of the Competency-Based Curriculum at the Department of English Education, Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta,  in reaching the goal of creating autonomous learners. Autonomous Learner is the ultimate objective in teaching learning processes. It is the beginning of the long-life learning processes. By creating autonomous learners, the process of achieving better graduate quality will be more effective and efficient. To reach the goal of producing autonomous learners, the Department of English Education, Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta,  focuses its curriculum on the graduate abilities in “thinking how to think” and “learning how to learn” through the Competency Based Curriculum.Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) is the teaching learning planning which bases its objectives on the students’ competences. To achieve the ultimate goal of language learning the Department of English Education, Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta needs to choose the relatively most effective curriculum and method of teaching for the students. Therefore, the department chooses CBC that applies student centred learning (SCL) to achieve the autonomous learning model. The department also applies constructivism approach which enhance the students curiosity to accelerate the autonomous learning in the student centred learning.

AbstractFormal multi-step mathematical argumentations are a typical case of a highly specified subject-specific genre in the technical language with challenging demands in the academic language of schooling. The design research project presented here has the dual aim of (1) specifying the structural and language demands of formal mathematical argumentations and (2) designing a teaching-learning arrangement that uses structural scaffolding to foster students to successively meet these demands. These dual aims are pursued by an in-depth empirical analysis of students’ processes on the micro-level. For this purpose, 15 design experiments were conducted with 10 pairs of students in three design experiment cycles. The first two cycles served to develop the structural scaffolding and the third cycle served to investigate the initiated learning processes and the language demands on the lexical and syntactical level. The qualitative in-depth analysis of the teaching-learning processes in the design experiments shows how students can successively learn to conduct multi-step argumentations when supported by structural scaffolding. Expressing the argumentations in an adequate way, however, is an additional challenge. The empirical analysis reveals deep insights into the complex interplay of conditional, causal, and consecutive phrases that are necessary to combine premises, arguments, and conclusions in a logical sound way. The design research study has theoretical consequences for conceptualizing subject-specific discursive demands as well as practical implications as one design outcome is a prototype of the learning arrangement to foster students in a mathematics- and language-integrated way.
