Context Developing an understanding of the signature pedagogies in athletic therapy education may help to promote greater pedagogical development opportunities and encourage meaningful reflection for educators. Objective To gain an understanding of the perceived level of pedagogical knowledge in Canadian athletic therapy educators and how they developed such knowledge. Design Sequential explanatory mixed-methods. Setting Seven undergraduate Canadian Athletic Therapists Association–accredited institutions Patients or Other Participants Twenty-one athletic therapy educators (16 women, 5 men) responded to the initial questionnaire; 15 athletic therapy educators (11 women, 4 men) participated in individual phone interviews. Main Outcome Measure(s) An initial questionnaire was designed to explore general pedagogical knowledge in athletic therapy educators and how familiar participants were with different teaching strategies. Emergent trends from these questionnaires were used to design a specific interview schedule. Phone interviews further explored the institutional, personal, student, and cultural factors that affected the selection of different pedagogical approaches. Findings from the questionnaires and interviews were combined to identify participants' pedagogical approaches to teaching in an athletic therapy setting. Results A pedagogical distinction was observed, dividing the sample into 2 groups. One group used a traditional, passive lecturing format, and the other, more innovative pedagogies. Educators who followed traditional teaching practices were less likely to know about different pedagogies or understand how these strategies could contribute to more effective instruction. The other group of educators appreciated the use of different pedagogies and explained how different teaching strategies could be incorporated to enhance learning in the athletic therapy curriculum. Conclusions On the basis of these findings, Canadian athletic therapy educators would benefit from more formalized pedagogical training and/or development. These formalized opportunities could familiarize educators with innovative pedagogical strategies while also preparing them with the necessary skills required to self-evaluate their own teaching approaches.

Pedagogical Approaches

The relative effectiveness of different pedagogical approaches and pedagogies in early childhood has raised substantial debate. While the other are associated with the acquisition of basic skills and knowledge and some of them are associated with socio-emotional development and problem-solving abilities. In general, research revealed both positive and negative effects of pedagogical approaches, without favouring specific pedagogical approaches over mainstream ones. However, it is important to note that research evidence and studies considering the same approaches in the same context are very limited. On the other hand, specific pedagogical practices are found to enhance child development, including high-quality interactions involving sustained-shared thinking methods, play-based learning, scaffolding, as well as a combination of staff- and child initiated activities. Research impacts pedagogy and pedagogical practices in the sense that research findings can inform policy makers and practitioners on best practices and what works best in enhancing staff performance, process quality and child development. Research on pedagogy and practices is usually not conducted at the national level, but focuses on particular programmes. So, research review has been used as a guide or manual to provide pedagogical guidance for Early Childhood Education (ECE) staff not only in India but also worldwide. The main focus of the study is that how of the best pedagogical practices and approaches across the country can be useful and implemented in early childhood education

Resumen:Se estudia si la percepción de los conocimientos profesionales (disciplinares y pedagógicos) de las educadoras de párvulos de Chile está asociada al nivel de conocimientos que realmente tienen. Con este fin se aplicaron dos instrumentos de recogida de datos, previamente validados. El primero fue un cuestionario diseñado sobre la Encuesta Nacional Docente realizada por el Ministerio de Educación de Chile. El segundo fue la prueba INICIA (Ministerio de Educación de Chile, 2013), aplicada anualmente a los alumnos egresados de las carreras de educación parvularia. Los resultados indican que el nivel de conocimientos técnicos y pedagógicos de las educadoras de párvulos es extremadamente bajo, lo que se ve agravado por una falsa percepción acerca de su nivel de formación disciplinar y pedagógica. Las conclusiones apuntan a que la profesión de educadora de párvulos en Chile tiene un gran desafío formativo por delante. Abstract:It examines whether the perception of professional knowledge (disciplinary and pedagogical) of preschool teachers in Chile is associated with the level of knowledge they actually have. With this aim, two instruments of data collection were applied, previously validated. The first was a questionnaire designed on National Teacher Survey conducted by the Ministry of Education of Chile. The second one was the INICIA (Ministry of Education of Chile, 2013), applied annually to the pupils of nursery education. The results indicate that the level of technical and pedagogical knowledge of pre-school teachers is extremely low, which is exacerbated by a false perception of their level of disciplinary and pedagogical training. The findings suggest that the profession of nursery teachers in Chile has a great educational challenge ahead.

This article is an empirical analysis of history teaching as a communicative process. Dialogic history teaching develops as a designed meaning-making process that depends on thorough pedagogical strategies and decisions, and requires cohesion in teacher expectations, introductions and interventions. A micro-dialogic study is presented in this article to document a paradoxical teaching situation where history as subject-related content all but disappeared from a group of students' meaning-making processes because they were preoccupied with figuring out their teacher's intentions. History teaching thus turned into 'just teaching' without the teacher or the students being aware of it. A strong emphasis on history teaching as a communicative process and dialogue as a key pedagogical tool have potential with regard to pedagogical decision-making and strategies on the one hand, and for relationships between students and history as subject-related content on the other. The analysis presented in this article contributes to a growing field of studies on dialogic history teaching, of which the focus on students as an important part of classroom dialogues is central.

This research was conducted to suggest a set of WhatsApp activities to enhance pedagogical knowledge and classroom practices that can be used in TEFL courses and to explore student-teachers' reflection towards the use of WhatsApp and the suggested activities. By reviewing related literature of using social networks and WhatsApp and though interviewing (9) TEFL instructors and (17) TEFL student-teachers, the researcher was able to suggest several activities that were used effectively in TEFL courses. These activities are: (1) reading materials (2) prediction ideas to get interest for the next lecture (3) videos (4) questions for flip classes or reviewing questions or proposing a problem to solve (5) open discussion topics or reflection on the lecture. A set of bases for using WhatsApp activities such as: posting clear content and having clear instructions for doing the activity, meeting FL student-teachers' language level or little higher language level, and not overloading TEFL student-teachers was presented. A group of (104) TEFL student-teachers from the faculty of education at Al-Azhar University-Gaza completed the following three reflection questions: what are the benefits of using WhatsApp and the suggested activities? What are the disadvantages of using WhatsApp and the suggested activities? What are the recommendations for improving the usage of WhatsApp applications and the suggested activities? Their responses were analysed qualitatively and quantitatively. The most common benefits were classified under (a.) pedagogical knowledge (b.) classroom practices (c.) review and evaluation (quizzes or tests) (d.) course requirements. On the other hand, the mentioned disadvantages were classified as (a.) technical and security problems (b.) communication problems.

ResumoNeste artigo discutimos resultados de uma pesquisa em que se analisou ações propostas em uma disciplina de Prática de Ensino, identificando aquelas que podem ter possibilitado a construção de conhecimentos tecnológicos e pedagógicos de conteúdo, por egressos de um curso de Licenciatura em Matemática. Dentre as ações identificadas, duas são relacionadas à aprendizagem da docência, uma vivenciada na sala de aula da disciplina, em que o acadêmico teve colegas como alunos, e a outra realizada no espaço da escola, em que o acadêmico assumiu a regência de uma aula de matemática em escolas de Educação Básica. O objetivo neste artigo é analisar essas duas ações e possíveis relações com a construção de conhecimentos tecnológicos e pedagógicos de conteúdo matemático. Os dados foram produzidos na pesquisa a partir de entrevistas realizadas com 27 egressos desse curso de Licenciatura em Matemática, que realizaram a disciplina de Prática de Ensino e concluíram o curso, no período de 2010 a 2015. A partir da análise de “falas de egressos”, concluiu se que as duas ações propostas na disciplina de Prática de Ensino, nas quais os professores em formação tiveram a oportunidade de praticar a docência, podem ter oportunizado a construção de conhecimentos tecnológicos e pedagógicos de conteúdo matemático. Nessas ações, esses egressos tiveram que estudar conteúdos matemáticos e tecnologias, de maneira a atender objetivos de aulas e favorecer a aprendizagem de seus alunos.Palavras-chave: Prática de Ensino.

Among the actions identified, two are related to teaching learning, and other experienced in the classroom, in which the students was the academic’s colleagues, and the other was in the school space, in which the academic took over the conduct of a class of mathematics in Basic Education schools. The objective of this article is to analyze these two actions and possible relationships with the construction of technological and pedagogical knowledge of Mathematical content. The data were produced in the research based on interviews with 27 graduates of this Mathematics Degree, who took the Teaching Practice discipline and completed the course, from 2010 to 2015. From the analysis of the “speeches of graduates”, it was concluded that the two actions proposed in the Teaching Practice discipline, in which the teachers in training had the opportunity to practice teaching, may have given rise to the construction of technological and pedagogical knowledge of Mathematical content. In these actions, these graduates had to study Mathematical content and technologies, in order to meet class objectives and favor the learning of their students.Keywords: Teaching Practice.

“The children of Eve”: poor children and teenagers in the shadow of delinquency and abandonment in Florianópolis – 1900-1940 This book analyzes the discourses of intellectuals, jurists, and public authorities about poor children and teenagers in Florianópolis in the first four decades of the twentieth century. In the country’s pedagogical knowledge in that century, childhood had a “natural plasticity”, therefore susceptible to molding. Thus, shaping the child and adjusting it to the ideals of a “civilized” society became the pivot of passionate discourses in State Chambers and Federal Congress, as well as in the intellectual environment. In those, poor children and adolescents became synonyms of “abandoned” and/or “perverted. The discourses ranged from defending those children and adolescents, to protecting society against them, since they also “represented” a threat to the nation’s “order and progress”. When analyzing the experiences of those children we penetrate in a world of the “pitiful” and the “dangerous”, as well as in a network of intrigues. In it not only the “minors” were subject to a project of exclusion under the aegis of differentiated inclusion, but everyone that represents “the other”, the one that does not fit the normative system which, in that moment, was regarded as “universal and absolute”.

This chapter analyzes teaching strategies that English-speaking Language Assistants (LAs) enrolled as students in the ‘Teach and Learn in Spain' Program at Instituto Franklin-Universidad de Alcalá, considering their curriculum designs developed as Master's Theses between 2014 and 2017. It is based on the assumption that they focus on the aspects they perceive as essential for developing Spanish students' oral communication skills in English in the context of their relationship with other types of skills that are specific for the 21st century in particular. Specifically, after describing the basic context for developing competences in the Spanish and North American education systems, the chapter analyzes several aspects: the teaching strategies their academic papers focus on, the proposal of guides and guidelines as a strategy to solve difficulties, and some of the other types of solutions they provide to motivate the students and improve specific skills.

Context: A published commentary from 2 of the current authors acted as a catalyst for raising some key issues that have arisen in athletic therapy education in Canada over the years. Objective: The purpose of this article is to report on the process followed to establish a number of consensus statements related to postsecondary athletic therapy education in Canada. The consensus statements should act as a future plan for entry-level athletic therapy education. Design: Content validation for consensus statements. Setting: Video-conference meetings at 7 Canadian postsecondary colleges/universities. Patients or Other Participants: Canadian Athletic Therapists' Association (CATA) program directors and CATA leaders from education, certification, and program accreditation committees. Main Outcome Measure(s): A Delphi method and modified Ebel procedure were used to gather opinions from participants about athletic therapy education. Results: We created 10 consensus statements, with a series of caveats that are presented in this article. All components received at least 80% consensus from the expert validation group. Conclusions: The final Education Task Force Report was created and content was validated by a group of experts in the topics associated with every consensus statement. The final report was presented to the CATA Board of Directors for adoption and implementation.

Mentoring Relationship

The uniqueness of this research captures the dynamics of mentoring relationship between mentors and mentees and to what extent they have an impact on each other. Based on the qualitative analysis from teacher interviews done in Tianjin, China, the mentees greatly benefit from this relationship evident on the pedagogical knowledge, classroom management skills and psycho-behavioral aspects that they perceived and reported. On the other hand, mentors highlighted the effect on their leadership capacity and the sense of validation they get from this relationship. This paper concluded that although the benefits may not be weighed exactly the same on both ends, the effects are fundamentally significant and still ‘mutual’. The understanding of how teachers perceive and receive mentoring structures present in their school systems support and promote the literature on mentoring as professional development, induction, and an established practice that transcend vividly in a Chinese context.

The subject of analysis in the article is the phenomenon of pedagogical holism, which is considered as a necessary condition for the organization and implementation of the pedagogical position. At the same time, orientation at pedagogical training towards one or another hypostatic integrity is considered as a condition limiting the creativity of students in the analysis and creation of qualitatively different forms of pedagogical thinking and activity. The creative position of future teachers is interpreted as one of the mechanisms ensuring overcoming the uniformity of the current education. Hypostasized forms of pedagogical holism are opposed by the discursive holism, which is associated with the refusal of pedagogical training from extra-situational support in the organization of pedagogical knowledge, the establishment of presentism ideology and the pedagogical relativism in educational practices. The operational unit of these practices is an utterance created in the acts of educational interaction. At the same time, the pedagogical utterance loses its dominant position associated with the status of the owner of the integrity of development and becomes one of the judgments in the multifaceted educational polylogue, existing as the integrity that arises in the actual educational interactions it produces.
