Partimos de un proyecto sobre cómo aprenden los docentes a partir de la creación de cartografías sobre sus escenarios de aprendizaje, los tránsitos y la relación dentro-fuera de la escuela/instituto. Antes de empezar nuestra investigación con el profesorado de educación infantil, primaria y secundaria, nuestro grupo de investigación empezó construyendo sus propias cartografías. Éstas son entendidas como una metodología de investigación narrativa y artística que nos ha permitido explorar intersticios, desplazamientos, trayectorias inestables, maneras de saber, montajes y enredos a través de los cuales los profesores siguen sus caminos de aprendizaje. El proceso de construcción de la cartografía sobre cómo, dónde y porqué aprendemos a ser investigadores nos obligó a cambiar el foco de la investigación. También nos obligó a cambiar la lente con la que miramos y el ángulo desde el que observamos. Investigarse para posteriormente investigar partiendo de metodologías artísticas: un paradigma que coloca al investigador en una posición de inseguridad y fragilidad. En el artículo partimos desde una posición de no-saber para realizar una revisión y estudio sobre la construcción de nuestras propias cartografías. Por otro lado, intentamos dar cuenta de muestras del proceso de cuestionamiento epistemológico, ontológico, ético y metodológico que parten de nuestro acercamiento a postulados de investigación post-cualitativos. The starting point of this article is a project about how teachers learn using cartographies to represent their learning scenarios, their transits and the relations of schools with what is outside them. Before beginning our research with kindergarten, primary and secondary school teachers, our group built their own cartographies.  They are understood as an investigation methodology that is both narrative and artistic and allows us to explore interstices, displacements, unstable trajectories, forms of knowing, assemblages and plots which teachers use for learning. The process of building cartographies about how, where and why we learn how to be researchers made us change the focus of our research. It also made us change the lens through which we look and the angle from which we observe. We did research about ourselves with a view to inquiring through artistic methods. This paradigm puts the researcher in a position of fragility and insecurity. In the article we situated ourselves in an unknown position with a view to reviewing and studying the process of building our cartographies. On the other hand, we tried to explain samples of our epistemological, ontological, ethical and methodological processes which stemmed from post-qualitative investigation assumptions.

As a starting point, this paper offers a theoretical discussion of a number of widely used yet diversely conceived concepts: (standard) language ideology, identity, agency, and indexicality. Using these concepts, we analyze a number of illustrative interview extracts from a corpus of sociolinguistic interviews with Flemish primary and secondary school teachers. Our goal is twofold. First, we discuss how Flemish teachers perceive (the importance of) Standard Dutch and other, nonstandard varieties of Dutch. Second, we show how these perceptions discursively shape teacher identities of authenticity, authority, and professionalism.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the applicability of the Principal Leadership Questionnaire (PLQ) to Greek educational context and to present the most important aspects describing educational leadership in a centralized educational context. It was sought to examine; a) the factorial structure of PLQ b) its invariance across teachers’ levels of education and c) its concurrent validity. Data were collected from 730 Greek primary and secondary school teachers of 77 schools. Teachers were asked to fill in the PLQ and Teacher’s Satisfaction Inventory (TSI). A bi-factor model was selected as the most tenable among five completive PLQ structures to describe teachers’ responses. Moreover, PLQ was found to be invariant across primary and secondary school teachers. Multiple-group analysis results indicate that primary, compared to secondary school teachers, reported more often that their principals behave as a transformational leader. On the contrary, secondary school teachers’ perceptions revealed that their principal implemented practices related to factor “intellectual; stimulation” more often than primary school teachers. Structural equation modeling showed that the general factor of the PLQ significantly and substantially predicted the “principal” facet of teachers’ job satisfaction, providing evidence of concurrent validity of the Greek version of the PLQ. Implications and suggestions for future research and policy are discussed.

The article discusses the possibilities, problems and prospects of using distance learning in the process of training primary and secondary school teachers. The presented results are based on a survey of students and undergraduates of one of the largest pedagogical universities in Russia. The identified problems that was based on data processing, are presented in an ordered form. The authors suggest possible solutions to problems based on many years of experience in using distance learning technologies in training of future teachers.

Implicit theories of intelligence are individual beliefs about the nature of intelligence, which are used on a daily basis as part of self-assessment and assessment of others, and are a significant factor shaping attitudes and behaviors. Research to date suggests that teachers can influence their students' beliefs about intelligence, which in turn affect motivation and achievement. According to Dweck's model, implicit theories of intelligence are a bipolar construct, with two theories at its extremes - the entity theory, which stresses the immutability of intelligence, and the incremental theory, which holds that intelligence can be improved through training and learning. Recent research, however, indicates that these two theories represent distinct, uncorrelated dimensions. The aim of this study was to carry out a psychometric evaluation of the Implicit Theories of Intelligence Scale (ITIS) and the Mathematics-Oriented Implicit Theory of Intelligence Scale (MOITIS). 228 primary and secondary school teachers in Serbia (87.7% female; average age 42.79 years) took part in the study. The results of factor analysis suggest the existence of two factors on both scales: incremental theory and entity theory. Further analysis showed that both factors of the ITIS and MOITIS scales have satisfactory psychometric properties. Significant differences were detected between primary and secondary school teachers on the ITIS scale. More specifically, among teachers of science subjects, mathematics and medical subjects the attitude that intelligence is a fixed trait is more pronounced than among teachers of the arts, humanities and social sciences.
