The current study aims to investigate whether pre-service teachers’ tolerance tendencies and democratic tendencies vary significantly depending on gender and mother and father’s education level and the relationship between their tolerance tendencies and democratic tendencies. A total of 417 second-year students from the departments of Turkish teaching, social studies teaching, elementary school teacher training, pre-school teacher training, science teaching, elementary school math teaching, arts, music, psychological counselling and guidance, English teaching and German teaching participated in the current study. In the analysis of the collected data, frequencies, percentages, Mann Whitney U test, Kruskall Wallis test and correlation analysis were used. As a result of the analyses, the pre-service teachers’ tolerance tendencies were found to be very high. The female pre-service teachers’ tolerance tendencies were found to be higher than those of the male pre-service teachers. The pre-service teachers’ tolerance tendencies were found to be not varying significantly depending on mother and father’s education level. The pre-service teachers’ democratic tendencies were found to be higher than the medium level. The female pre-service teachers’ democratic tendencies were found to be higher than those of the male pre-service teachers. The pre-service teachers’ democratic tendencies were found to be not varying significantly depending on mother and father’s education level. A positive, medium and significant correlation was found between the pre-service teachers’ tolerance tendencies and democratic tendencies.

RESUMOA narrativa da trajetória escolar de formador de professores é trazida à luz como pretexto para discussão sobre a relevância de material biográfico em processos formativos. Práticas relacionadas ao método biográfico no cenário da escola de educação básica são aqui exploradas com a finalidade de evidenciar seu potencial formativo. A contextualização foi um recurso metodológico observado, tendo de seu uso resultado um texto recheado de notas históricas. A narrativa de trajetória escolar e do contexto de produção compõe aqui um memorial, entendido como um olhar lançado sobre a história de vida de um docente que toma sua vida como objeto e, de suas experiências, faz história. É uma história de si, uma autobiografia, pela qual nos fazemos historiadores de nós mesmos. A narrativa deslindou traços da escola, da formação de professores e da prática pedagógica, de modo a fazer compreender a participação da dimensão biográfica no processo formativo de professor.Trajetória escolar. Biografia. Formação de professor.Narratives of the school career of a teacher trainer: memory, history and formationABSTRACTThe narrative of the school trajectory of teacher educator is brought to light as a pretext for discussion about the relevance of biographical material in formative processes. Practices related to the biographical method in the scenario of the elementary school are explored here in order to highlight its formative potential. Contextualization was an observed methodological resource, and its use resulted in a text full of historical notes. The narrative of the school trajectory and the context of production composes here a memorial, understood as a look at the life story of a teacher who takes his life as an object and, from his experiences, makes history. It is a story of itself, an autobiography, by which we make ourselves historians of ourselves. The narrative unraveled traces of the school,teacher training and pedagogical practice, in order to make the participation of the biographical dimension in the teacher training process easier to understand.School trajectory.

It is an educational truism that reflection helps teachers to be more effective and ethical. Building on John Dewey’s assertion that we learn by doing and reflecting, and Hannah Arendt’s that reflection is strengthened through discourse among peers, I argue that a valuable role for teacher educators is to be interlocutors with whom teachers can reflect. Adding to previous scholarship that positions philosophers of education as ideal interlocutors, I focus on the nature of the relationship between teachers and philosophers of education. Mirroring the format of the Socratic dialogues, I include three dialogues to explore how teachers and philosophers of education might reflect together. The first dialogue is the transcription of an interview about reflection and teaching between a former elementary school teacher colleague and me (then a doctoral student in philosophy of education). The second is a written dialogue that brings the interview into communication with Plato and Arendt to further elucidate what it means to reflect as a teacher and with teachers. The third dialogue occurred many years later as a group of philosophers of education reflected upon dialogues 1 and 2 to consider how they might better engage with teachers.

Abstract The importance of pre-service teacher training regarding environmental education (EE) has been vastly demonstrated. This systematic review examined the existing evidence from studies evaluating and analysing the relationship between EE, including environmental competences and pre-service primary school teacher training. The literature review performed included 24 documents (22 peer reviewed journal articles and two doctoral theses). The strategy followed consisted in locating documents by a reliable search strategy; establishing the criteria for the selection of documents to analyse from the documents located and rigorously analysing the documents selected based on clear and precise criteria and dimensions. In general terms, the literature review analysis has emphasised the lack of environmental competences amongst pre-service teacher students and the gaps in the teacher training curriculums regarding EE. The overall scarcity of research in this area, jointly with certain gaps and methodological limitations, affirms the need for strengthening the evidence base.

The purpose of this study was to find out the relationship between statistical literacy and mathematical representation of students as pre-service elementary school teachers through the Collaborative Problem Solving (CPS) model. The relationship between statistical literacy and mathematical representation was analyzed by using a product-moment correlation with a sample of 35 students of Elementary School Teacher Education Study Program at one of the state universities in Ambon City. The results showed that there was a positive and strong relationship between statistical literacy and mathematical representation with a correlation value of 0.66. This relationship means that if students have good mathematical representation abilities, statistical literacy abilities are also getting better. Exploration of statistical literacy and mathematical representation abilities can be facilitated by using The CPS learning model. The CPS learning model can facilitate student learning as a structure in mathematical thinking so that statistical literacy and mathematical representation abilities of students can be explored through the transformation of ideas among students. The CPS learning model aspects were implemented in high and very high categories while the indicators were at rating-2 and rating-3.
