Le développement d’une posture d’enseignant-praticien réflexif repose sur la collecte et le traitement de différentes traces de l’activité professionnelle. La nature des traces collectées, leur rôle dans la formation, leur utilisation et leur gestion diffèrent selon les contenus et les dispositifs de formation. Par l’utilisation d’une plateforme électronique d’apprentissage (e-portfolio), le master en pédagogie instrumentale et vocale vise à développer la posture de praticien réflexif des futurs enseignants d’instruments ou de chant. Cette plateforme permet le dépôt, la gestion et le partage de différents types de traces de l’activité. La présente recherche vise à capter la nature des traces collectées ainsi que leur utilisation pour la rédaction d’un bilan de compétences. Il ressort d’entretiens menés avec les étudiants que les e-portfolios contiennent essentiellement des traces élaborées de l’activité et que ces traces sont peu ou pas utilisées lors de la rédaction du bilan de fin de cursus. Les étudiants mentionnent plutôt l’utilisation de traces immatérielles de type souvenirs, récoltées durant leur pratique en enseignement dans et hors formation. À partir de ces constats, nous sommes amenés à nous questionner sur la compréhension du rôle de la trace par les étudiants et l’orientation de leur apprentissage vers le produit plutôt que vers le processus. The development of a reflexive teacher-practitioner position is based on gathering and processing various artifacts of professional activity. The nature of the artifacts collected, their role in training, their use and their management differ according to the content and the training provisions. By using a digital learning platform (eportfolio), the Haute école de musique Vaud Valais Fribourg’s master’s program in instrumental and vocal pedagogy intends to develop the reflexive practitioner position of future teachers in this field. Different types of artifacts of the activity can be deposited, managed, and shared on this platform. The aim of this research is to define the nature of the artifacts gathered and use them to write a skills report. It highlights the interviews conducted with students and the fact that eportfolios essentially contain artifacts developed from the activity and that these artifacts are hardly or not used in the end-of-course report. Rather, students mention the use of intangible artifacts such as memories, collected during their teaching practice both in and out of training. Based on these observations, we are led to question students’ understanding of the role of artifacts and the orientation of their learning towards the product rather than the process.

The article analyzes the role of the educational game as a means of organizing the speech activity of medical students in English. The authors of the article emphasize the need to use active teaching methods in the educational process while learning English. It has been established that games in English classes can be divided into the following categories: games aimed at mastering new vocabulary; games aimed at grammatical material consolidation; communication games aimed at developing students’ monologs and dialogs. Methods, goals and tasks for forming a communicative model are highlighted. Examples of interaction between a teacher and a student are analyzed. It is noted that the conduct of professional games has a multi-faceted approach and is carried out according to a certain model. Systematic and purposeful use of games as a method of teaching English to medical students contributes to the effective learning in the educational process.

Perceptions Of Students

Active teaching methods are emphasized as an important part of an effective teaching process for Generation Y students. Still, some individual characteristics, such as creativity and learning style, need to be considered as they can affect outcomes of the learning process. Empirical research on the students’ preferences for various active and passive teaching methods was done on a sample of graduate students from the Faculty of Economics and Business in Zagreb. Perceptions of students regarding 52 individual teaching methods, and teaching methods bundles were investigated. Findings reveal that more creative students, as well as activists and pragmatists, and especially reflectors while learning, do exhibit the greater inclination towards active teaching methods.

Education Initiatives

The aims are to identify the role of unions in intellectual, technological and physical education of the workers and examine the main motivations of Brazilian union centrals for proposing educational initiatives, according to the existing literature on the subject. The central arguments point out that the intellectual education initiatives provided by unions should seek primarily to demonstrate the importance of dialogue in the educational process rather than merely transmit knowledge. The technological education initiatives may take the form of courses, workshops and lectures promoted by such entities, which could predominantly aim at raising workers’ awareness of the notion of “social technology”. The physical education initiatives – many focused on sports practices and body awareness – could predominantly move away from hygienist projects, get closer to the promotion of physical and mental well-being not to improve the workers’ performance in the workplace, but their quality of life outside the workplace, and achieve greater social integration. The authors conclude that, in fact, the most important union centrals in Brazil sought educational initiatives as ways of garnering workers’ support for projects that served the capitalist interests.

The teacher is to involve active teaching technique by means of inviting students to play the role of explorers. Embracing the active cognitive stance helps to boost intellectual development, that is, to master the skills of analysis, comparison and generalization.

Phantom Limbs

Many neuropsychological theories agree that the brain maintains a relatively persistent representation of one’s own body, as indicated by vivid “phantom” experiences. It remains unclear how the loss of sensory and motor information contributes to the presence of this representation. Here, we focus on new empirical and theoretical evidence of phantom sensations following damage to or an anesthetic block of the brachial plexus. We suggest a crucial role of this structure in understanding the interaction between peripheral and central mechanisms in health and in pathology. Studies of brachial plexus function have shed new light on how neuroplasticity enables “somatotopic interferences”, including pain and body awareness. Understanding the relations among clinical disorders, their neural substrate, and behavioral outcomes may enhance methods of sensory rehabilitation for phantom limbs.
