Este artigo contempla parte de nossa pesquisa de mestrado, a qual teve como principal objetivo analisar as estratégias didático- pedagógicas utilizadas por professores de Geografia, experientes e bem-sucedidos, que atuam na Educação Básica em escolas que pertencem ao Núcleo Regional de Maringá-PR, nos anos finais do Ensino Fundamental e Ensino Médio. Para entendermos como estes organizavam suas ações em sala de aula, cujas práticas docentes precisam conduzir os alunos a uma educação geográfica, adotamos como principal referencial teórico os estudos de Lee S. Shulman sobre a Base de Conhecimentos, em especial o Conhecimento Pedagógico do Conteúdo – CPC, que os professores necessitam para o exercício da docência, e o processo de Raciocínio e Ação Pedagógica – RAP, que retrata como os conhecimentos docentes são acionados, relacionados e construídos durante o processo de ensinar e aprender. Na metodologia adotada para esta investigação privilegiamos os aspectos qualitativos através de entrevistas individuais e semiestruturadas e observações de aulas, e realizamos a análise dos dados obtidos via metodologia da análise de conteúdo. Os resultados da pesquisa esclareceram que quando os professores acionam e mobilizam o CPC em suas aulas, a Didática da Geografia é potencializada, facilitando a compreensão e a importância desses conteúdos para os alunos. PALAVRAS-CHAVE Conhecimento Pedagógico do Conteúdo, Processo de raciocínio e ação pedagógica, Didática da Geografia, Formação do professor de Geografia.   THE DEVELOPMENT OF PEDAGOGICAL KNOWLEDGE OF CONTENT AND THE SPECIFIC DIDACTICS OF TEACHERS OF GEOGRAPHY ABSTRACT This article includes part of our master's research, which had as main objective to analyze the didactic-pedagogical strategies used by Geography teachers, experienced and successful, who work in Basic Education in schools that belong to the Educational Regional Center of Maringá-PR, in the final years of elementary and high school. In order to understand how teachers organized their actions in the classroom, whose teaching practices need to lead students to geographic education, we adopted Lee S. Shulman's studies on the Knowledge Base, especially the Pedagogical Knowledge of the Content - CPC, which teachers need for the exercise of teaching and the process of Reasoning and Pedagogical Action - RAP, which portrays how teaching knowledge is triggered, related and constructed during the process of teaching and learning. Therefore, the methodology adopted for this investigation privileged the qualitative aspects through individual and semi-structured interviews and observations of classes, whose analysis of the data obtained was carried out by the content analysis methodology. The results of the research clarified that, when teachers activate and mobilize the CPC in their classes, the Didactics of Geography is enhanced, facilitating the understanding and the importance of these contents for students. KEYWORDS Pedagogical Content Knowledge, Pedagogical action and reasoning process, Didactics of Geography, Geography teacher training.

A multiple case, descriptive study provides research insights for illuminating the tools and processes in the online TPACK learning trajectory situated in a social metacognitive constructivist instructional framework for graduate coursework. In this course, inservice K-12 teachers' relearn, rethink, and redefine teaching and learning for developing a 21st century literacy significantly influenced by the proliferation and societal acceptance of multiple digital technologies. The research examination identifies insights about the incorporation of the key tools (community of learners and reflection) and processes (shared/individual knowledge development and inquiry) in the online learning trajectory for reframing teachers' Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK). Three themes reveal how the online learning trajectory relies on these tools and processes for enhancing the participants' learning: the tools and processes are needed for constructing knowledge, for transitioning the participant's thinking as a student to that of a teacher, and for recognizing the value of pedagogical strategies for teaching and learning with technologies.

Through semi-structured interviews with sixteen faculty members representing a variety of experience levels and departments, this piece illuminates faculty theories and ideas about digital pedagogy through the conceptual lens of TPACK (Mishra & Koehler, 2006), which delineates the overlapping considerations teachers in designing learning through technological knowledge, pedagogical knowledge, content knowledge.  Findings reveal widespread similarities in attitudes toward teaching and learning across all different departments and indicate that, while faculty members had a range of content knowledge, pedagogical knowledge, and technological knowledge inferences, the greatest tensions and successes were articulated when faculty discussed issues located at the nexus of technological knowledge, content knowledge, and pedagogical knowledge.

This study examined technology integration in Natural Sciences teaching and learning in South African township schools. A mixed method approach was adopted as part of an exploratory descriptive survey design. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews, classroom observations as well as administration of open-ended survey questionnaire. The study involved purposively selected grade 9 Natural Sciences teachers and learners as participants. The empirical investigation is underpinned by technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) as the underlying theoretical framework. The participants demonstrated a positive disposition about technology integration in Natural Sciences teaching and learning. In particular, technology integration was perceived to provide opportunities for the enhancement of meaningful Natural Sciences teaching and learning in township schools. Digital resources were largely viewed as essential educational tools that can be deployed to demystify abstract scientific concepts with a view to enhance scientific literacy. Theoretical implications for technology-enhanced teaching and learning are discussed.

The teaching assistant program at the University of Windsor facilitates opportunities for students to develop leadership capacity, creativity, and pedagogical knowledge. This study explored the skills that student workshop facilitators were developing and/or enhancing, and how these skills might be used outside of teaching-related duties. Data from former student workshop facilitators were collected through an online survey (n = 15) and semi-structured interviews (n = 6). The results indicated that participants developed a range of teaching-related skills through leading teaching and learning workshops. The knowledge and skills facilitators garnered often resulted in them being perceived as teaching and learning leaders amongst their peers. Further, participants emphasized that leading workshops provided a unique opportunity to practice, increased their confidence, and led them to apply their skills in academic and non-academic endeavours.   Le programme d’assistanat d’enseignement de l’Université de Windsor aide les étudiants à acquérir des compétences en matière de leadership, de créativité et de connaissances pédagogiques. Dans notre étude, nous nous penchons sur les compétences que les étudiants animateurs d’ateliers ont assimilées ou affinées et nous nous demandons comment ces acquis peuvent être transposés à d’autres tâches en dehors de l’enseignement. Au moyen d’un sondage en ligne (n = 15) et d’entrevues semi-structurées (n = 6), nous avons recueilli les données provenant d’étudiants ayant animé des ateliers. Les résultats indiquent que les répondants ont développé diverses compétences liées à l’enseignement en animant des ateliers portant sur l’apprentissage et sur l’enseignement. Grâce aux connaissances et aux compétences acquises, les animateurs étaient souvent considérés par leurs pairs comme des leaders en matière d’apprentissage et d’enseignement. De plus, les répondants ont souligné le fait que l’animation d’atelier leur avait donné l’occasion d’exercer leur pratique, de gagner en confiance et d’appliquer leurs compétences en contexte universitaire et non universitaire.

This chapter introduces transformative learning as a helpful theory to consider the role of departmental heads in the procurement of teaching and learning resources in selected secondary schools in Alexandra Township, South Africa. South Africa felt the effects of the pandemic as the country was ill-prepared for the devastation the pandemic brought to its learning systems. The Department of Basic Education tried to implement various strategies to ensure that teaching and learning continue to save the academic year. In this qualitative study, the interpretive paradigm and a purposive convenient sampling technique were employed to sample five mathematics DH from five secondary schools. The thematic data analysis was used to interpret and discuss data obtained from the document and semi-structured interviews. It was found that the schools did not have teaching and learning resources that could allow remote learning. Moreover, there is a need to improve retrieval practices as resources loaned to learners remain unaccounted for.

Assessment of learning plays a central role in the teaching-learning process, and it has been extensively investigated due to the recognized necessity of adjusting didactic models to the new curricula and social demands. The knowledge of assessment is considered one of the components of pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) by some authors and for other authors is considered one component of the knowledge base for teaching. It is also recognized the strong link between knowledge of the educational ends, goals, purposes and values and the knowledge of assessment procedures. In this work, results focused on ten chemistry teachers are presented with the main goal of assessing and describing the knowledge of assessment practices and its close relationship with the purposes and educational aims. The results of the current study are based on semi-structured interviews, schools’ educational projects, questionnaires, evaluations and teacher lesson plans. The data suggest that there exists an inconsistency in the discourse regarding general education and chemistry education. Although the discourse at all levels, including educational projects, planning and interviews, can be considered as innovative, in actual practice we observed a strong tendency toward the teacher-centered approach and summative assessment. The results show that, in general, the investigated chemistry teachers lack the intrinsic knowledge to elaborate questions that assess students´ higher-order thinking, to use assessment results to improve teaching and learning, to inform planning, and ultimately, to perform assessments for learning that regulate and promote the learning process, in line with their own beliefs regarding the objectives of chemical education. As a result, we can infer problems in other PCK components of these teachers. Keywords: assessment, chemistry teacher education, knowledge base of teaching, pedagogical content knowledge.

<p>The rationale of the present paper is to investigate and stimulate a reflection on <em>the Tuning contribution to academic innovation </em>through the collection of case studies among some Tuning projects, focussing on methods and tools to implement successful and <em>innovative approaches to learning, teaching</em>, and assessment appropriate for <em>competence-based approach (CBA)</em>. In order to deepen these concepts, a conceptual framework on competence-based approach and student-centred learning will be presented, particularly focussing <em>teacher conceptions of teaching </em>as well as <em>pedagogical content knowledge </em>and their influence on teaching practices<em>. </em>The Tuning contribution in supporting academic innovation will then be deepened, through a <em>macro-level overview of the methodology</em>, and a synoptic table of cross-cutting themes identified across the Tuning projects will be the starting point of the empirical part of this study. Moreover, the <em>multiple case studies </em>conducted through semi-structured interviews with teachers from Higher Education Institutes involved in previous completed Tuning projects will be presented. Research design, sampling and data analysis will be described, and major findings will be presented. Results show a general understanding, but with different perspectives on the competence based approach as well as appropriate teaching and learning methods applied worldwide within the CBA framework. Outlines on the Tuning contribution to academic innovation in this framework will be offered, by identifying main strengths, weaknesses, threats and opportunities of the methodology. Suggestions and guidelines for future projects, training and researches of the Tuning Academy are provided for possible implementation, highlighting the relationship <em>between teaching, learning and research.</em></p>

This study examined the threat pose by schools operating a joint section under UBE to academic activities of both the pupils and students. The research method adopted for this study is the qualitative descriptive design of survey type. Upper basic school I, II, and III students of 15 purposively selected schools operating joint section Universal Basic Education System in Ilorin metropolis were selected for the study. Researchers-designed structured interviews with content validity and 0.77 reliability index of the instrument was the only instrument used to elicit the needed data from the respondents. The findings of the study revealed that: upper basic school students were seriously distracted the students it is meant to cater for in many ways. Based on the findings, it was recommended among others that; the same time should be allocated to both sections for both school activities since they use the same compound to decrease distraction and confusion of the students or better still, sections should be structured in different locations to reduce overpopulation in the compound thereby making teaching and learning more effective.
