The paper proposes a reflection on the new development trajectories of teacher training in light of the impact with the Covid-19 pandemic. The health emergency is producing, among other aspects, a rethinking of the relationship between those who teach and new technologies. The hypothesis to be demonstrated is that the current experience is configured as an important opportunity for professional growth for the teacher if this profession becomes increasingly open to the demands of the present time, ready to respond to emergencies that may arise in teaching practice, skilled in managing and mastering a conscious and mature relationship with technology. The paper also presents the partial results of a research, carried out in three Italian universities, on the relationship between teachers in the training phase and technologies in this pandemic time.

The Impact

Research shows that mentoring EFL pre-service teachers during the practicum element of teacher-training courses allow them to get experience and to develop, improve, and put into practice their teaching skills. This professional practice can impact the development of a positive or negative professional identity in teachers. Current literature, however, seems to focus on the shaping of teacher identity and learner identity, but there is little empirical research regarding the development and shaping of the identity of pre-service teachers. Pre-service teachers are the main actors of this practicum stage of teacher-training programs and, therefore, by working in collaboration and being supported by a mentor as a role model, they develop their professional identity. The present qualitative case study sought to explore the shaping and re-shaping of the professional identity of fifteen EFL pre-service teachers of a northern Mexican university and the impact of working with English teacher mentors as role models. Information gathered through the constant comparative method of data from the participants taken from their reflective journals, mentor-observations, and self-observations suggests that although working with a positive role model encourages the development of a stronger teacher identity and an improvement in their teaching practice, working with a bad role model can also have the same results.

This chapter analyses the impact of innovation on business tourism success and the relationship between leader and employee to develop the hotel's ability to become competitive. Recent developments in the hospitality industry are a challenge not only for leader, but also for employees, and then they are forced to perform innovations activities. Today, the most visible innovation in tourism is that brought by new technologies, which modify behavior and facilitate and enrich travel experiences in multiple ways. So, the leaders of this industry must always be very close to their employees and must really encourage participation and innovative ideas within the organization.

This paper describes the impact of the implementation of a digital speaker and teacher training on the quality of a teacher's interaction with an AAC user. The data was obtained by recording and analysing classroom story time interactions. The types of utterances directed at each child in the class, the types of questions used as well as the messages recorded onto the digital speaker were determined for each research phase. There were four major phases in the research, namely, a pre-implementation phase, a post-implementation phase, a post-training phase and a post-withdrawal phase. The results indicated that the implementation of the digital speaker and the training of the teacher resulted in certain changes in the way that the teacher interacted with the AAC user. Utterance types such as answering and imitating were used more frequently after the implementation of the device. There was also a much greater variety in the teacher's use of questions as well as in the messages that were recorded onto the digital speaker after the five training sessions were completed. This study highlighted the importance of formal training for the communication partners of the AAC user. One of the most important communication partners of the school-aged AAC user is the classroom teacher.

El artículo muestra los resultados iniciales de una intervención en formación del profesorado que nos ha ayudado a diseñar un proyecto de investigación. Se elabora a partir de la narración biográfica fruto de la práctica docente de futuras maestras, lo que nos ha permitido entender la relevancia que otorgan a la necesidad de abordar la literacidad crítica, desde los primeros niveles de escolarización. El diseño de la propuesta de formación docente se realizó a partir de experiencias previas en las que el uso de la cultura popular y las nuevas tecnologías facilitan una enseñanza comprensiva para la construcción de identidades en contextos multiculturales. La experiencia nos ha servido para entender cómo podemos ayudar a futuras maestras a diferenciar entre hechos y opiniones, argumentar sobre la veracidad y la fiabilidad de fuentes, distinguir la ideología de los recursos de aula e identificar silencios. Junto a ellas conocimos qué cuestiones sociales relevantes pueden abordarse en el aula de educación infantil; cómo enseñar a interpretar información sobre cuestiones sociales relevantes, cómo abordar la literacidad crítica con alumnado de educación infantil.En definitiva, la experiencia nos ha acercado a conocer cómo ayudar a futuras maestras a repensar el conocimiento social y superar conflictos internos en la interpretación y tratamiento de cuestiones sociales relevantes desde la literacidad crítica.ABSTRACTThe article shows the initial results of an intervention in teacher training that has helped us to design an investigation. It is elaborated from a biographical narrative resulting from the teaching practice of future teachers that has allowed us to understand the relevance that they give to the need to address critical literacy from the first levels of schooling.The design of the teacher training proposal was based on previous experiences in which the use of popular culture and new technologies, facilitate a comprehensive teaching for the construction of identities in multicultural contexts.The experience has allowed us to understand how to help future teachers to differentiate between facts and opinions, argue about the veracity and reliability of sources, distinguish ideology from classroom resources and identify silences. Together with them, we knew what relevant social issues can be addressed in the classroom of early childhood education, how to teach how to interpret information about relevant social issues, how to approach critical literacy with children's education students.In short, the experience aims to know how to help future teachers to rethink social knowledge and overcome internal conflicts in the interpretation and treatment of relevant social issues from critical literacy.

Slem, Levi and Young (1986) developed a model of the psychological impact of technological change on the workforce. The purpose of current research was to investigate the relationship between stress and technological change. The “Impact of Technological Change Survey” was administered to workers in five large electronics manufacturing corporations. Almost one-third of the workforce believed that technological change would make the individual's job more stressful. Over 20% were worried about the future of their jobs. Anticipated role conflict, role ambiguity, and quantitative role overload produced the strongest and most consistent relationships with the global measure of stress. Qualitative role overload and beliefs about reduction in force were more closely allied to job insecurity stress. Anticipated stress is reduced somewhat when technological change is seen as providing personal and organizational benefits or when the organization is perceived as effectively dealing with the transition to the new technology.

The Relationship

The digitization of cultural heritage has become a common practice among cultural and educational institutions. The Internet and the widespread of new technologies have made the heritage more accessible and facilitates cultural exchange. However, digitization both raises challenges and creates opportunities for the sustainable and appropriate treatment of Indigenous digital cultural heritage collections, as the use of new technologies may render such heritage more vulnerable to misappropriation and misuse. It is therefore vital to investigate the possibilities of Intellectual Property tools to protect, preserve, and promote such heritage. This article addresses the following questions with respect the Indigenous heritage: What is the nature of the relationship between IP protection and the safeguarding of intangible heritage?; What are the consequences of misappropriation and misuse of traditional cultural expressions for Indigenous Peoples?; and What is the impact of digitization on Indigenous cultural heritage?

The Impact

This study investigated and identified the common computer-assisted language learning (CALL) teacher training types in the Iranian private language schools (PLSs), and their effectiveness in shaping and encouraging teachers’ use of new technologies. An exploratory mixed method approach was employed, and a total of 86 Iranian EFL (English as a foreign language) teachers participated in this study. The results indicated that teachers were primarily self-trained, in the absence of comprehensive CALL training provided by either PLSs or teacher training courses offered at university level. It was concluded that self-training had resulted in subsequent sporadic and non-systematic use of CALL by teachers.

Resumo A contemporaneidade demanda por qualidade no campo da Organização do Conhecimento, no que tange tanto à representação quanto à recuperação da informação, em virtude do impacto provocado pelas novas tecnologias nos serviços de informação. Para tanto apóia-se no pressuposto de que é possível firmarem-se outras estratégias de comunicação humana, com vistas a uma melhor compreensão da relação entre linguagem, informação e dinâmicas sociais contemporâneas. O objetivo é problematizar uma discussão conceitual sobre discurso e memória, no intuito de perceber como tais conceitos afetam a comunicação, em uma tentativa de compreender práticas comunicacionais na atualidade e de como tal compreensão pode contribuir para os estudos do campo informacional. Ao final, apoiado na concepção de gênero discursivo proposta por Bakhtin, este texto acredita ser preciso identificar novos padrões discursivos, de modo a constituir novos gêneros discursivos a fim de que o ciclo informacional ocorra de modo cada vez mais efetivo.Palavras-chave memória; discurso; gênero discursivo; organização do conhecimento Abstract Contemporaneity demands quality in the field of Knowledge Organization, in relation not only to information representation but also to information retrieval, due to the impact of new technologies on information services. In order to achieve this, it presupposes that it is possible to establish new strategies of human communications with a view to a better understanding of the relationship between language, information and contemporary social dynamics. Our aim is to problematize a conceptual discussion about discourse and memory, in order to understand how such concepts affect communication, in an attempt to understand contemporary communication practices and to establish how this understanding may contribute to information studies. Ultimately, based on Bakhtin’s notion of discoursive genre, this text concludes that it is necessary to identify new discoursive patterns, in order to form new discoursive genres, so that the information cycle is realized in an increasingly effective way.Keywords memory; discourse; genre of discourse; knowledge organization

Although play exemplifies one of the highest forms of experiential learning and can foster creativity and innovation in adults, it is less frequently used explicitly in adult training. This short article explores a play-based approach to enhance teachers’ confidence in using play-based pedagogy through a case study on the Continuum of Teacher Training (COTT), Right To Play International’s in-service teacher training programme. The CoTT is a 21-day programme, which is contextualized and delivered in 16 countries. It integrates play-based learning methods into teaching practice while aligning with local curriculum and infusing academic content with social-emotional skills development. The article concludes with preliminary insights on the impact of the model on children’s social-emotional learning and academic achievement and argues for the critical importance of play for adults to support intergenerational relationships and quality play-based approaches.
