Transformative Lehre

Transformative teaching that involves practitioners prepares students for their role in social change processes in a way that is true to life. This guide shows how teachers can successfully shape the collaboration between students and practitioners. It introduces the basics of transformative teaching and the challenges of involving practitioners. At the heart of the guide are 13 building blocks, described in the form of checklists, which can be assembled by teachers as needed. The description of an ideal-typical module rounds off the guide, which is based on the teaching experiences of the four authors within the framework of the Reallabor Wissensdialog Nordschwarzwald.

Representations of rectilinear light propagation in the thinking of 12-13 year olds: A transformative teaching intervention

This research investigates the transformation of the seventh-grade students' mental representations of the rectilinear propagation of light. The researcher employed the quasi-experimental method on two groups of students aged 12-13 years. The survey involved 102 students who were divided into two equal groups determined by the stratified sampling technique. The first group participated in a didactic intervention based on the students' representations. The second group of students participated in a traditional school teaching. The Mann–Whitney U test was utilized for calculating the significance of the data. The statistical analysis showed that the pretest and the posttest progress was statistically significant for the first group. It resulted in the mental constitution of a representation that is compatible with the scientific model.The research results allow the design of effective interventions for the teaching of light propagation and geometric optics in general.

Lærerrollen der blev væk: Opbygningen af et transformativt lærerideal

This article raises the question if the role of the vocational teachers needs another teacher’s ideal. The foundation of the article is a rising tendency to describe the teacher’s role by other means than being a teacher and making the role of the teacher a matter of bringing students safely and easily to a learning outcome, through a teaching task described as both a supervisor, facilitator, motivator, and consultant. The article commences by explaining the tendency to understand the vocational teacher by others means than a teacher. Through analysis of ideas from Gert Biesta, Hartmut Rosa and Andrea English, the article will point to a transformative teaching ideal as a way of understanding the role of the vocational teacher, and at the same time try to exemplify this teacher ideal through different types of vocational education. The article will conclude by arguing that a transformative understanding of the teacher’s role can be seen as a more embracing ideal as opposed to the current trend of constructivism, and at the same time as an ideal, that gives back the original teaching task to the teacher.

UMA REFLEXÃO CRÍTICA SOBRE O INÍCIO DA FORMAÇÃO DOCENTE EM EDUCAÇÃO FÍSICA

The purpose of this study was to understand the teaching formation in Physical Education and its different aspects developed during initial training.Method:a bibliographical survey ofbooks andcientificarticles was carried out. For this,thekeywords“Teacher training”, “professionaltraining” and “physical education”, were used exclusively in Portuguese language.The focus of the bibliographic research was the survey of authors who discuss the thematic of teacher education in Physical Education. Results:It was identified that teaching formal higher education aims to ensure the training of teachers to work in the environment social so that they can assist students in developing their intellectual ability. Thus, training in Physical Education has the duty to subsidize theoretical and practical content to future teachers for transformative teaching during the educational process.The focus aspects during initial training are “the relationship between theory and practice "," the role of self-assessment in the teaching construct ","constant update", "beginning and path of teaching","convergence between technical and applied training". Conclusion:It is necessary during teacher training to develop an understanding of the future teachers values, such as feelings, emotions, the desire to overcome insecurity. That is, It is necessary to stimulatecritical reflection on the practice of the future physical education teacher. it is necessary to encourage the teacher to think critically to better develop the educational process.
