Stimulated Recall

Knowledge transformation drives changes in teaching practice. It takes place when a teacher mobilises personal knowledge for teaching. Technology can inform research on how knowledge transforms in practices of distancing from classroom teaching, and how a teacher draws on them to engage with a class. The paper introduces three fieldwork approaches that blend ethnographic fieldwork with technological possibilities: (1) Videographies of classroom interaction document practical educational knowledge of teachers and the orientations they use in classroom interaction. (2) Stimulated recall allows teachers to re-view classroom interaction. In talking about what has happened, teachers can present rationalisations of classroom events and explain how they addressed these events. Stimulated recalls also allow teachers to construct narratives in which they detail lived teaching experiences. Both stimulated recall and narratives document personal educational knowledge of teachers. (3) Video diaries allow teachers to tell stories from places outside of school, places in which they think about teaching and prepare for classes. There, teachers operate with self-technologies that scaffold the transformation of personal knowledge into practical knowledge. A conclusion outlines how data from these three technology-enhanced fields can be integrally analysed.

Denne artikkelen undersøker hvordan kunnskapsområder samvirker i lektorstu-denters undervisningspraksis og refleksjon over praksis. Hensikten med studien har vært å få en nyansert forståelse av hvordan kunnskapsintegrasjon framtrer i noen studenters praksisutøvelse og praksisrefleksjon. Artikkelen bygger på intervjuer med lektorstudenter og deres veiledere og observasjon av lektor-studenters undervisning og tilhørende før- og etterveiledning. Studien viser hvordan studenter utøver kunnskapsintegrasjon i interaksjon med elever og veiledere og hvordan de søker forankring for kunnskapsintegrasjon i pedagogiske perspektiver eller håndverkstradisjon.Nøkkelord: lærerutdanning, kunnskapsintegrasjon, koherens, praksiskunnskap, fagkunnskap, profesjonskunnskapKnowledge intergration in internship.Interaction between knowledge domains in student teachers’ teaching and reflectionAbstractThis study investigates how knowledge domains interact in student teachers’ teaching and reflection during internship. The aim of the study has been to provide a nuanced understanding of how knowledge integration emerges in some students’ teaching performance and reflection on their own teaching practice. Drawing on observations of classroom teaching and supervision as well as interviews with student teachers and their supervisors, the study demonstrates how knowledge integration takes place through interaction with pupils and supervisors, and how student teachers anchor their knowledge integration in pedagogical perspectives or in an understanding of teaching as craftsmanship.Keywords: teacher education, knowledge integration, coherence, practical knowledge, content knowledge, professional knowledge

<p>The study examines three new EFL teachers professional knowledge development through discussion in a <em>Teacher Study Group (TSG)</em> in Indonesian (Asian) context. These three participants have less than five year-teaching experience and teach junior high schools in Bandarlampung in the time of the study. The data were collected through audio-visual recorded observation of TSG sessions teaching practice. They were converted into written trasncription. The analysis signifies that group discussion recalls participants’ case knowledge from distant experience while group reflection explores participants’ practical knowledge from their own immediate practice. Some of the knowledge is still fragmented and some has been integrated into pedagogical content knowledge (PCK). Both TSG group theme-based discussion and collaborative reflection manage to explore participants’ professional knowledge.</p>

Action research (AR) as a research method has been recommended in the process of educating foreign language (FL) teachers as well as developing their teaching skills for decades. Many teacher education experts, including Elliott (1991) are of the opinion that the method contributes to teachers’ professional develpoment as they can extend their theoretical knowledge of the processes of learning and teaching through gaining the practical knowledge. Moreover, action research evokes the need for reflection upon one’s teaching activities. One may wonder whether FL teacher-practitoners apply AR in their teaching and how, if at all, it influences their classroom teaching. In order to learn about it, the author of the article conducted a questionnaire which provides interesting information about FL teachers’ attitude towards AR. The article aims at promoting AR as well as encouraging FL teachers and teacher-trainees to use the method in their work.

The present study is aimed at achieving main objectives i.e. to study the effect of Inquisitiveness and Attitude on Teaching Effectiveness among pupils' teachers practicing classroom-teaching practices; to study the effect of Inquisitiveness and Attitude on Teaching Effectiveness among pupils teachers practicing online-teaching practices, to explore the effectiveness of online teaching practice, to find out the future horizons of online teaching practice in Indian perspective. The sample of the present study is pupil teacher studying in Dayalbagh Educational Institute Deemed University Agra. 150 pupil teachers practicing classroom teaching and 150 pupil teachers practicing online teaching have been selected. T-Test, Linear Regression and SWOT Analysis have been used as statistical techniques. Pupil teachers possess more positive attitude and inquisitiveness towards online teaching practice in comparison to classroom teaching practice. Inquisitiveness and attitude significantly predicts the teaching effectiveness in online teaching practice and classroom teaching.

Teacher reflection is widely considered as an important process that provides in-depth learning experiences to preservice teachers. Portfolios and teachers' diaries are commonly used teaching tools to funnel one's own critical thoughts about practice. It is also common to analyse the teaching practice in the practicum through the guidance of expert teachers who act as mentors. Both ways are crucial to organise preservice teachers' practical knowledge acquired in the schools. The objective is to determine under which learning situations (individual reflection vs. mentoring interaction) knowledge is better acquired and determines the differences between preservice teachers. Five preservice teachers were recorded giving a regular lesson to primary school students. Data was analysed by following the PDA model that divides the content in narrative and inferential. Main results reveal that practical knowledge is mostly elicited with the help of a mentor and mostly inferential. There were minimal significant differences among preservice teachers.

Learning Development

Many studies have suggested that personal practical knowledge is essential for professional development. Recently,there has been growing recognition of the importance of teacher educators’ personal practical knowledge of‘language’ for student learning development. However, the need for teacher educators to first understand their ownlanguage-oriented development in content-based classroom interaction has not received as much emphasis. Thecurrent intervention study investigates how eleven experienced teacher educators understand their language-orienteddevelopment through the control of task difficulty, small-group instruction and directed response questioning. Datawere examined by conducting content and constant comparison analyses. The results showed that the interventionaffected the educators’ language-oriented development, which in turn affected their awareness and decisions made toimprove their methods of initiation and response during classroom interaction. The results call for more concreteways to expend teacher educators’ practical knowledge of language to further develop and enhance theirlanguage-oriented teaching performance in content-based classroom interaction.

The study investigated teacher knowledge of error analysis in differential calculus. Two teachers were the sample of the study: one a subject specialist and the other a mathematics education specialist. Questionnaires and interviews were used for data collection. The findings of the study reflect that the teachers’ knowledge of error analysis was characterised by the following assertions, which are backed up with some evidence: (1) teachers identified the errors correctly, (2) the generalised error identification resulted in opaque analysis, (3) some of the identified errors were not interpreted from multiple perspectives, (4) teachers’ evaluation of errors was either local or global and (5) in remedying errors accuracy and efficiency were emphasised more than conceptual understanding. The implications of the findings of the study for teaching include engaging in error analysis continuously as this is one way of improving knowledge for teaching.
