Within the project“Lehren, Lernen und Forschen in Werkstätten” (Teaching, Learning and Researching in Laboratories) from 2016-2019, German didactic seminars were held in the “Lern- und Forschungswerkstatt Grundschule” (LuFo) (Primary Education Research Lab) at the Technische Universität (TU) of Dresden. The seminars, which were attended by primary education student teachers, dealt with telling stories to wordless picturebooks, reading aloud picturebooks about school or other literary themes. The student teachers dealt with selected picturebooks from the perspective of literature didactics, visual literacy studies and empirical research on reception of literature. They designed didactic arrangements in the sense of inquiry-based learning and invited kindergarten and primary school children to the LuFo to explore the stories told in the picturebooks together with them. The study is based on the student teachers' seminar papers in which they describe their projects, give didactic reasons for the selection of literature and analyse their interactions with the children around the picturebooks. Using the example of picturebooks about school, the study uses the Key Incident Analysis to ask which books the student teachers choose and how they receive them, in what form they discuss them with the children and how they shape the reading situations and finally, how they reflect on their own learning processes. The results give an insight into both the processes of reflection of the primary school student teachers and the processes of literary learning of the children.

Response Feedback

In schools, classroom talk is often dominated by teachers´ lecturing or asking closed questions followed by teachers’ evaluative feedback. When the teacher presents ideas to students or uses the question-response feedback, the talk is considered as authoritative talk. On the other side, during dialogic talk, the teacher reacts to students´ views and responses. The important role of the teachers in promoting dialogic classroom talk has been demonstrated in many previous studies. However, little is known about how student teachers use different talk forms, especially in inquiry-based biology lessons which is the focus of this research. The primary school student teachers’ lessons – a total of 14 lessons of five student teachers – were videotaped and audiotaped. The data were analysed using theory-based content analysis. The results show that the primary school student teachers used more authoritative classroom talk than dialogical classroom talk in their inquiry-based lessons. Mainly, non-interactive authoritative talk form was used by all student teachers, and interactive dialogic talk form was used least. Authoritative talk was used in all stages of the inquiry-based lesson. Dialogic talk was used more during introduction and examination stages. The findings suggest that in teacher education, student teachers need scaffold in talking with pupils when carrying out inquiry-based teaching. Key words: authoritative talk, dialogic talk, inquiry-based lesson, primary school, teacher education.

Preschool and Primary School Children as Learners in 2030: Views of Finnish Student TeachersTeachers are key to the future. Because of enormous future changes, teachers need to re-evaluate their thinking. This study focuses on what student teachers think of the future in preschool and primary school of the year 2030. The questionnaire, conducted in October 2007, reached 76 student teachers from the University of Helsinki in Finland. Of these students, 52 were preschool and 24 primary school student teachers. The research questions were: 1) How important is it that children in preschool and primary school in the year 2030 can use language and communication and can work in groups and in the environment? (2) How can preschool and primary school teachers support language learning and communication in the year 2030? (3) How will children in preschool and primary school in the year 2030 take responsibility for their own (child-centred) learning? The results confirm that preschool and primary school student teachers think very traditionally. Many felt that it would be less important for children in 2030 to speak many languages, and student teachers did not consider the use of computers.

Scientific observation plays a central part in the formation of scientific knowledge and thus it has animportant role in the teaching and learning of science. Despite its importance there are only a few studies that focus on the problems in making observations. The paper begins with the collection offactors effecting scientific observation. In order to find out primary school student teachers’ conceptions of scientific observation 110 student teachers were asked to write what things they connect tomaking scientific observations. For the majority of the student teachers making observations seemsto mean in the first place just noticing things. Only about 30% of the student teachers connectedearlier experiences and knowledge with observations and only 30% of the student teachers mentioned processing of information. To become efficient at it, student teachers need plenty of practice and experience of the different features of scientific observation.

Innovation Project

Interdisciplinary projects play an important role in the development of a student profile based on the 21st century skills. Nevertheless, the implementation of an interdisciplinary approach is a challenge for both teachers and teacher educators. The aim of this study is to create an interdisciplinary model for teacher education, and to provide an empirical study which analyses its impact on learning. An educational innovation project was carried out with preservice teachers who experienced and subsequently designed a Problem Based Learning with interdisciplinary activities including Mathematics and Social Sciences, using the National Archaeological Museum as an educational resource. The proposals were implemented amongst children to evaluate the project’s effectiveness, considering two aspects: (a) improved teaching skills for preservice teachers (N = 26) and (b) improved learning for Mathematics and Social Sciences content amongst primary school children (N = 58). In the case of the student teachers, the variance analysis implemented showed sufficient empirical evidence of the improvement between the pre and post treatment, in different dimensions of the teaching skills and competences. On the primary school students, some significantly statistic progresses were found concerning the learning of both subjects, as well as their perception of museums as place for learning.

New Ideas

The first step in the reform of education in Ukraine at the current stage was the "New Ukrainian School". It is a platform for reforming secondary education, which begins with primary school. The decisive changes in this reform are the need for new approaches to learning, with the help of which competencies will be formed in younger school children through modeling and research actions, and not through theoretical material. It is the integration of knowledge, skills and abilities, as well as methods of thinking, values and other individual qualities, which enables children to achieve success in regular training activities and in their future. State standards for primary education orient teachers towards humanizing the education process and creating conditions for viewing the content of primary education, forms, methods, teaching technologies in order to activate the educational and cognitive activities of applicants for primary education and increase their motivation, contributes to the development of key and subject competencies. The article clarifies the concept of "LEGO-constructor", "LEGO-elements", LEGO-technology and considers the main provisions concerning the application of LEGO-technology in teaching of primary school children. Scientific approaches to the use of LEGO technology in primary education are characterized; the general characteristics of the concept of LEGO technology as a variant of educational technologies, the influence of LEGO technology on the development of younger school children, advantages and directions of application are analyzed. The use of LEGO-technology in mathematics lessons contributes to the comprehensive development of primary school children, the formation of a holistic picture of the world, the development of constructive skills, ideas about spatial relationships, geometric shapes, numbers, arithmetic operations, symmetry and so on. Working with LEGO educational constructors potentiate the younger student to learn many important ideas in the form of a cognitive game and develops the skills of a socially active, creative personality necessary in later life, independently generates new ideas and makes non-standard decisions. The use of LEGO technology in mathematics lessons in primary school is an efficient tool for the formation of key and subject competencies.
