Approximations and possibilities about Struggles content into school environment: an integrative review

School Physical Education works with a range of contents that aim to contemplate Movement Corporal Culture, among these are Struggles. Using literature in order to understand how research deals with this topic is essential for understanding its strengths and limitations. Following the integrative review method, this study’s purpose was to identify possible contributions of Struggles over integral human formation of students, into Educational Sports context. A preliminary literature search identified 192 articles published between 2015 and 2020. Studies were evaluated within three categories: Struggles into school environment, teacher formation and Educational Sport aspects. Review resulted to 6 articles according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Despite limitations around studies on area, results indicate Struggles content is recognized both in educational legislation and by researchers of this field; Physical education professionals have various difficulties for applying Struggles in their classes, mainly alleging problems in their teacher formation; and Educational Sports aspects appear in a non-convincing way, without empirical deepening, nor research applied to this specific theme. It is concluded that Struggles use is possible at school, but it requires confrontations, and Struggles contextualization inside Educational Sport principles is still vaguely explored, making it a field of possibilities for future researches.

Wikis as a Tool for Co-constructed Learning in Higher Education – An Exploratory Study in an Albanian Higher Education

This study explores the effectiveness of wikis in a teaching course in teacher formation and its pedagogical implications with the aim of determining whether wikis will influence the learning experiences and the learning out-comes of the students in a middle-income, post-communist country as Albania. For this, we implemented student-generated wikis into a master’s course on teaching and examined student reflections on their learning outcomes and other pedagogical effects. A mixed method methodology was employed. The findings of the study were informed by triangulating data from the analysis of the student-generated wikis, students’ reflections on the experience, as well as a comparison of the learning outcomes based on the exit exams of this group of students and the group of the prior academic year. Our data suggest that wikis help support collaborative learning, but at the same time they also encourage independent thinking. Teachers’ authority is minimized, empowering students’ ownership and authorship, leading to a continuous process of modification and improvement through interactions among group members via wikis. The data present compelling evidence in favor of wikis, as an organic tool to facilitate co-constructed learning which students seem to enjoy.

Profiling academic research on what is being sought in initial teacher education gender wise

This article is mainly focused on what is happening with university structures, at least in the aspects related to the pedagogy of gender, specifically transgender, provided to pre-service vocational students. Universities are hyper-regulated spaces in which, in an invisible way, there are spaces of censorship in the production of knowledge and the selection of topics of interest for research and learning. Vocational teacher formation has constituted a whole scenario of being, in which the gender diversity and especially Transgender is not contemplated. Initial teacher education in Colombia seems to be monolithic. Teaching education does not include topics or contents that deals with gender, least Transgenderism. The monolithic construction of who supposed to be “The English teacher” is an evident problem in the initial vocational teacher formation. Teacher formation is dis-gendered, denies not only the existence of “genders” but moreover the existence of Transgender “individuals” in classroom. This article traces back the meaning attributed to transgenderism in particular teaching practices, specifically in vocational training classroom, from some previous studies until ELT teachers’ and students’ beliefs, thoughts, perceptions, and interpretations about transgenderism. Additionally, by looking into elements that have been left unattended or unsaid in previous works concerned with gender, the integration of transgender teachers’ & students’ personal and professional experiences will be an ally ship not only on how to intervene when transphobia occurs, but also in the consolidation of the future transgender teachers’ identity.

THE COHESION OF TWO STUDENT GROUPS AND ITS IMPACT FOR LEARNING STRATEGIES AT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Group cohesiveness is usually an interesting object of study in the context of social life and work management. However, cohesiveness can also be found in educational study areas. This study aims to determine the cohesiveness of the students of SD Negeri 2 Prambanan, find out the differences in cohesiveness between the independent groups and teacher formation groups, and the impact of the cohesiveness on the learning strategies. The quantitative methods are used to measure and to compare cohesiveness between the two groups using a t-test. The qualitative methods are used to narrate how teachers implement learning strategies according to student cohesiveness. The cohesiveness refers to the concept of Forsyth, which divides into the social, task, perceived, and emotional. This study finds that first, the group cohesiveness of students is in a moderate position. Second, the independent groups have significantly higher than the teacher formation groups. Third, there are five follow-ups in ​​learning strategies undertaken by the teacher, i.e. rearranging student seats, making students who have high group cohesiveness as group leaders, motivating students who have low cohesiveness to be actively involved in their groups, giving freedom to groups to compete, and applying various collaborative
