AbstractThe gap between how learners interpret and act upon feedback has been widely documented in the research literature. What is less certain is the extent to which the modality and materiality of the feedback influence students’ and teachers’ perceptions. This article explores the semiotic potential of multimodal screen feedback to enhance written feedback. Guided by an “Inquiry Graphics” approach, situated within a semiotic theory of learning edusemiotic conceptual framework, constructions of meaning in relation to screencasting feedback were analysed to determine how and whether it could be incorporated into existing feedback practices. Semi-structured video elicitation interviews with student teachers were used to incorporate both micro and macro levels of analysis. The findings suggested that the relationship between the auditory, visual and textual elements in multimodal screen feedback enriched the feedback process, highlighting the importance of form in addition to content to aid understanding of written feedback. The constitutive role of design and material artefacts in feedback practices in initial teacher training pertinent to these findings is also discussed.

AbstractIn this paper, we discuss the role of dialogue in two layers; first, in relation to two self-organised communities of science teachers in which we participated and, second, our process of coming together during our PhDs to analyse these communities, a dialogue about the dialogue. Regarding the first layer, there is much to learn from science teachers and science teacher educators when they are organised in sites of learning that can be spaces of hope, beginnings, and becoming, as is illustrated in the case of these two self-organised communities. Regarding the second layer, we discuss the value of dialogue and the possibilities it offers to develop ideas for science education in a way that might be democratising, emancipatory, and offering counter-narratives in a neoliberal Chile. By engaging in this dialogue revisiting the practices of our communities, we gained a sense of agency within the field of science education. However, we realised that we need to move towards a critical view within our communities, and more contextual and transformative science education by translating these sites of hope to our educational praxis today. For us, this relates both to developing a collective view of how to make science education provide pedagogical conditions and experiences for critical and engaged citizenship and thinking how we can act and engage with different settings in solidarity. One way of moving towards this is by developing a political knowledge of our disciplines through a collective scientific conscientisation. Our communities are the departure points to achieve this.

Pre Service Teacher

Inquiry has been the framework for guiding reform-based science instruction. All too often, the role of technology is treated tacitly without contributions to this framework. This case study examines a collection of pre-service teachers enrolling in two educational technology courses and the role these experiences play in promoting inquiry teaching. Interviews, field notes, surveys, reflective digital narratives and student-generated exhibits served as the data informing the analysis of inquiry experiences which shaped the enacted lessons of science teachers. Implications for research and practices are discussed.Keywords: teacher reflection; science education; technologyCitation: Research in Learning Technology 2014, 22: 21691 - http://dx.doi.org/10.3402/rlt.v22.21691

Resumo: Educação em ciências pode ser associada à formação de sujeitos para problematização e construção conjunta. Essa formação demanda a apropriação de conceitos e de linguagem científica para proposições concernentes à ciência e tecnologia. Nesse sentido, neste trabalho, são apresentadas considerações sobre interações em blog sobre Astronomia envolvendo estudantes de Ensino Fundamental, na disciplina de Ciências, em instituição escolar paranaense, entre 2012 e 2015. Esta pesquisa possui fundamentos na teoria da aprendizagem significativa, destacando as modalidades de aprendizagem representacional, de conceitos e proposicional. Os dados foram constituídos por 516 conjuntos de registros, realizados pelos estudantes, pelo professor e outros participantes em blog. Os dados foram analisados considerando características e pressupostos de Análise de Conteúdo. Entre os resultados, podem ser ressaltados indícios de motivação, apropriação de conceitos e de linguagem científica. Destaca-se o papel do blog para ampliação de espaços de comunicação e aprendizagem, expressões de interesses e de relações conceituais. Ressalta-se, ainda, o compromisso docente, no que concerne às inovações tecnológicas, para o estabelecimento e manutenção do diálogo na educação em ciências. Palavras-chave: Ensino de ciências. Tecnologias educacionais. Aprendizagem significativa. INTERACTIONS IN BLOG ABOUT ASTRONOMY: TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATIONS, MOTIVATION, APPROPRIATION OF CONCEPTS AND SCIENTIFIC LANGUAGE Abstract: Science education can be related to the development of individuals able to problem-pose and carry out joint constructions. This development demands the appropriation of concepts and scientific language so to produce propositions concerning science and technology. In this sense, this work presents some considerations about interactions in a blog about Astronomy with the involvement of students of Fundamental Education, in the discipline of Sciences, in a school in Paraná, from 2012 to 2015. This research is based on the meaningful learning theory, highlighting  representational, of concepts and propositional learning modes. Data is constituted by 516 sets of records in a blog, made by students, teacher and other participants. Data was analyzed considering characteristics and assumptions of Content Analysis. Among the results, some indicators of motivation, appropriation of concepts and scientific language can be highlighted. Blog's role increasing spaces for communication and learning, expressions of interests and conceptual relations is emphasized. Concerning technological innovations, the role of teachers,  establishing and maintaining a dialogue in science education is also highlighted. Keywords: Science education. Educational technologies. Meaningful learning.
