Item Design-based development of educative curriculum material for deliberative human rights education(Taylor & Francis, 2023-06) Guzmán, Valentina; Larrain, Antonia; Álvarez, Carolina; Fernández, Ivettre; Herrera, David; Urrutia, CamilaHuman rights education (HRE) is an urgent historically and globally recognized challenge for societies. However, it has not been sufficiently addressed by empirical and theoretical research in education. Based on the UN Declaration on Human Rights Education and Training (UNDHRET), there is wide agreement that HRE should include education about, through, and for human rights. We argue that a situated deliberative pedagogy can offer these three dimensions to HRE. However, this is not without challenges for teachers and students. One way to deal with these challenges and support this pedagogical innovation is to design curriculum material that supports teachers. To contribute to this, we conducted a design-based research (DBR) aimed at participative designing of educative curriculum material for human rights deliberative education. Four teachers participated in two phases of the study. Two participated in refining the material’s structure and its controversies and the other two participated in discussing the dilemmas and activities relating to implementation of the material at school with their 11th- and 12th-grade students. The results show participatory educative curriculum material designed for holistic HRE: about, through, and for HR. The implications and problems of the design process associated with a deliberative curriculum for HRE are discussed.Item Entre el reconocimiento y las trayectorias biográficas: una mirada sobre las juventudes en Argentina y Latinoamérica(Universidad de Chile; Facultad de Ciencias Sociales, 2022-10) Carreras, Rafael Antonio; Escobar González, SebastiánEn el contexto de entrevistas realizadas a distintos investigadores de relevancia en el campo de estudio de las juventudes en América Latina y Europa, conversamos con Rafael Carreras, académico e investigador de la Universidad Nacional de Córdoba, construyendo un relato sobre su trayectoria académica considerando distintas variables que han marcado su labor, la psicología social comunitaria, el trabajo territorial con jóvenes y el uso de relatos biográficos en clave investigación-acción participante en el contexto argentino. La conversación comienza justamente con el origen del interés investigativo por las juventudes, donde el contexto sociopolítico es fundamental para iniciarse en la exploración de dicho grupo social. Así, se transita en distintas reflexiones sobre las juventudes en el contexto argentino y latinoamericano, integrando conceptos como neoliberalismo o pluridomonio. Finalmente, se establecen ciertas aperturas y pistas para estudiar a las juventudes en el actual contexto latinoamericano, el cual ha estado impactado por diversos hitos de protesta, violencia y transformación social.Item Estudiantes con gratuidad en universidades prestigiosas: ajustes académicos para permanecer(Centro de Estudios Avanzados en Niñez y Juventud del Cinde; Universidad de Manizales., 2023-08-25) Álvarez Valdés, CarolinaLa educación superior en Chile se ha masificado; sin embargo, se mantiene una alta segmentación en el sistema. En 2016 comienza a implementarse la política de gratuidad, dirigida a estudiantes de menores ingresos. Esta investigación buscó comprender las experiencias académicas de estudiantes con gratuidad en universidades prestigiosas y selectivas, espacios tradicionalmente de reproducción de las clases altas y élites. Se realizaron entrevistas biográficas a trece estudiantes de estas universidades, así como un análisis temático temporal. Los resultados muestran que la obtención de la gratuidad emerge como un facilitador en el acceso, pero los/as estudiantes experimentan fuertes sensaciones de inadecuación académica; se muestran activos en transformar sus disposiciones, realizando un fuerte trabajo sobre sí para permanecer. Las experiencias de jóvenes de menores capitales muestran la persistencia de desigualdades.Item La pareja pedagógica como experiencia desde la práctica para el desarrollo de desempeños colaborativos orientados a la coenseñanza(Universidad Bernardo O'Higgins, 2023-07-31) Pérez Carrillo, David Jacob; Alvarez Aranda, Nelly del Pilar; Jiménez Vivas, AmparoEl trabajo colaborativo es uno de los desafíos que se instala al interior de la Formación Inicial Docente a partir de las actualizaciones que ha sufrido la política pública en Chile. Para dicho propósito, el presente artículo sistematiza los resultados de un proyecto de investigación que recurrió al dispositivo pareja pedagógica a fin de promover el desarrollo de desempeños colaborativos que tributen en los procesos de identidad docente, en estudiantes que cursaron práctica profesional en las carreras de Pedagogía en Educación Diferencial e Historia y Geografía. Para ello, se analizaron sus respuestas a partir de dos instrumentos aplicados al inicio y al final de su práctica en dupla, concluyéndose que la pareja pedagógica favorece el desarrollo de procesos identitarios de carácter colaborativo, expresados en un reconocimiento del otro como un modelo a seguir; como una experiencia que amplía el conocimiento didáctico y pedagógico, y como una experiencia que permite generar mayores seguridades en el ejercicio de la profesión. Por otra parte, los resultados reclaman mayores instancias para la reflexibilidad que se orienten a desmantelar posiciones de poder de los profesores de enseñanza regular sobre los profesores especialistas, posturas que se constituyen en obstaculizadores para la profundización de prácticas pedagógicas colaborativas e inclusivas.Item Future early childhood teachers designing problem-solving activities(Journal on Mathematics Education, 2022-06) Sala-Sebastià, Gemma; Breda, Adriana; Farsani, DanyalThis work aims to identify the criteria to design activities based on problem-solving tasks that emerge when future early childhood education teachers jointly plan their activities and reflect on them. The participants were 76 students from the Didactics of mathematics subject that was carried out in the 2nd year of the Early Childhood Education Degree of a Catalan public university. This is qualitative research in which the phases of the thematic analysis have been adapted: familiarizing with the data; systematically applying the categories to identify the student criteria emerged; triangulating the analysis with experts; reviewing and discussing the results. The Didactic Suitability Criteria (DSC), from the Ontosemiotic approach (OSA) framework to design tasks and their indicators, were used to categorise and analyse the tasks performed by future teachers. As a result, it was identified that when the future teachers adopt consensually design their activities, they are implicitly based on the Didactic Suitability Criteria (DSC). Still, not all their indicators emerge since their reflection is spontaneous and is not guided by an explicit guideline that serves them to show their didactic analysis in detail. The study concludes that it would be convenient to offer future teachers a tool, such as DSC, to have explicit criteria to guide the designs of their mathematical tasks. In this sense, a future line of research opens, much needed, to adapt the DSC to the singularities of this educational stage.Item A study of using metaphoric and beat gestures with motion-based and non-motion-based metaphors during retelling stories(MDPI, 2022-04) Khatin-Zadeh, Omid; Farsani, Danyal; Reali, FlorenciaIn this paper, we classify metaphors into four categories: motion-based metaphors, static space-based metaphors, static object-based metaphors, and static event-based metaphors. Then, a study that investigated the use of gestures with these types of metaphors is reported. The aim was to examine how these types of metaphors are used with metaphoric and beat gestures during the process of re-telling stories. The participants of the study listened to three audio stories. Each story contained two motion-based metaphors, two static space-based metaphors, two static object-based metaphors, and two static event-based metaphors. After listening to each story, they had to retell the stories in front of a camera. The videos were analyzed to determine the number of metaphoric gestures and beat gestures that had been used by participants during the retelling of the stories. The results showed that the highest number of metaphoric gestures had been used with static space-based metaphors. This was followed by motion-based metaphors, static object-based metaphors, and static event-based metaphors, respectively. On the other hand, the highest number of beat gestures was used with static event-based metaphors. These findings indicate that the use of metaphoric gestures and beat gestures accompanying metaphors is highly dependent on the spatial and motoric properties of the base of the metaphors, which supports the idea of embodied metaphor comprehension.Item Análisis de la atención visual de estudiantes a través de gafas espía(Universidad Nacional de Costa Rica, 2022-06) Farsani, Danyal; Villa-Ochoa, Jhony AlexanderLa atención visual es un indicador importante en las interacciones entre docentes y estudiantes. Este artículo presenta los resultados de un estudio que buscó determinar cómo fluctúa la atención visual que los estudiantes prestan a la persona docente durante sus clases de matemáticas e inglés y detectar posibles diferencias en dicha atención. El estudio se llevó a cabo en una escuela secundaria con una muestra de 16 estudiantes (varones). Los datos se obtuvieron a través de una mini cámara de video, montada sobre las gafas que son usadas por los estudiantes. A través del uso de imágenes de Google, analizamos de manera automática y objetiva 2613 fotogramas de las grabaciones en las que la persona docente de la clase aparecía en el campo visual de los estudiantes.Los resultados dan cuenta de la diferencia en la atención visual de los estudiantes entre los introvertidos y los extrovertidos durante los 90 minutos de clase. También se observó que los estudiantes estaban más comprometidos visualmente cuando el discurso de la persona docente estaba acompañado de gestos. Se destaca la importancia de diversificar las interacciones que busque otras formas de comprometer a los estudiantes en los últimos dos tercios de la clase. Algunas implicaciones para los programas de desarrollo profesional se derivan de este estudio.Item Non-verbal interaction and students’ visual engagement in mathematics and English classes(ULBRA, 2022-07) Farsani, Danyal; Breda, Adriana; Sala-Sebastià, GemmaBackground: The interactions in the classroom are of particular interest to the teaching and learning processes. Objectives: This study examines nonverbal interaction in mathematics classrooms, and how different modes of nonverbal behaviour, contributed to the engagement in lessons. Design: A quantitative study. Setting and Participants: 30 randomly selected students wore mini camera-mounted eyeglasses in their mathematics and English lessons. Approximately 45 hours of video recording were made from these cameras (from a first-person’s perspective) to analyse and compare the nonverbal interaction in mathematics and English lessons. Data collection and analysis: In Google Images, we objectively searched and statistically analysed frames in which the class teachers appeared within the students’ visual field. Results: The results show that how students are visually engaged with the teacher depends on a set of proxemics. Differences were found related to visual attention both regarding the subject matter and the different proxemics of the student in relation to the teacher, pointing out that students are more visually involved with the teachers’ instructions when at a proxemic of 1.20 to 3.70 meters. Furthermore, we report differences between boys and girls and how they are visually engaged in their mathematics classrooms. Conclusions: Finally, we report how teachers pointing gestures can serve as a tool to recapture students’ visual attention in mathematics classrooms.Item Reflections of future kindergarten teachers on the design of didactic sequences with the use of robots(Modestus, 2022-08) Seckel, María José; Breda, Adriana; Farsani, Danyal; Parra, JoséThe purpose of this study is to analyze the reflections of future kindergarten teachers when designing didactic sequences with the use of the bee-bot robot. A qualitative methodological design was followed to achieve this objective, collecting the data through a written record prepared by the participants from collaborative work. A total of 25 future teachers participated, forming six working groups. The data were analyzed with the content analysis technique, considering the criteria of didactic suitability–epistemic, cognitive, interactional, mediational, affective, and ecological–and their respective components. The results suggest that at the moment prior to the design of the didactic sequences, the reflections of the groups of future teachers are related only to some criteria, while, in the design of the proposed teaching and learning process, the units of analysis were related to all six criteria. With the results obtained, it is concluded that a future implementation and observation of the design of didactic sequences by the participants would allow the participants to consider more components of the criteria when reflecting. In addition, it is concluded that training that contemplates the criteria of didactic suitability, would also allow future teachers to deepen their reflections, guiding them with these tools.Item Developing conceptual understanding of Irrational numbers based on technology through activity system(2022) Rafiepour, Abolfazl; Abdolahpour, Kazem; Farsani, DanyalThe main purpose of this study is to develop a conceptual understanding of the irrational number of the square root of 2 ( 2 ). Participants in the study were 20 ninth-grade male students. Activity Theory was used as a framework to show the development of the conceptual understanding. Since this study was conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic; online teaching method was adopted. In this teaching method, WhatsApp messaging and calculator were used as our basic technology. Virtual education lasted 2 sessions (120 minutes) for the development conceptual understanding of the irrational number of square root of 2. To produce data, WhatsApp Export Capability was used. For data analysis, the online teaching activity system was used. By analyzing this activity system, three tensions were understood. Modifying these tensions, has led to their students making the concept of the irrational number of the square root of 2 ( 2 ) and reach a single definitionItem How are fortuity mathematical movements o mosquitoes represented in children’s drawings?(University of Kurdistan, 2022) Reyes-Santander, Pamela; Luci, Gina; Farsani, DanyalThis exploratory and experimental research aims to describe randomness expressed in 5 to 6-year-old children’s drawings. This study considers a six-day activity developed in 5 Chilean kindergartens, with a total of 142 participants. The activity on the mosquito’s flight considered the corporal movements to generate the idea of randomness in children. The children drew the mosquito flight and described the flight. We qualitatively analyzed and categorized the children’s drawings and verbal descriptions, dividing them into static or dynamic representations. A second grouping was established in the dynamic drawings: in one direction and random. The third division considers only random drawings: (1) uncertain walk, (2) possible walk, and (3) casual walk. The results show that children in this stage of development can express in their drawings some of the three basic notions of randomness. The children expressed randomness through random stops, circular paths, and arrows to mark positions or make decision possibilities of the mosquitoItem Preservice science teacher education around the globe. Trends, challenges, and future directions(Routledge, 2022-04-27) Cofré, Hernán; Vergara, Claudia; Santibáñez, David; Pavez, José ManuelThis chapter describes and analyzes four of the most relevant aspects of preservice science teacher education (PSTE) around the world: routes and training systems; curricula; characteristics of practicums; and the relevance of research. According to analysis of more than 25 countries, we conclude that in Europe, programs move towards higher qualifications for teachers at a master’s degree level; while in Asian and American countries, shorter, more pragmatic, and pedagogy-based programs are the most common. In most countries, there still exists room for an increase in learning experiences focused on the development of pedagogical content knowledge, such as science methods courses and practicums.Item Developing an Instrument to Assess Pedagogical Content Knowledge for Evolution(Springer, 2022-02-18) Becerra, Beatriz; Núñez, Paola; Vergara, Claudia; Santibáñez, David; Krüger, Dirk; Cofré, HernánDespite the importance of evolution to understand biology, there is signifcant evidence that many biology teachers have difculties to successfully teach this topic. The purpose of this study is to describe procedures by which a paper-and-pencil instrument to assess teachers’ pedagogical content knowledge for evolution (PCKevo) was developed and validated. The instrument was created to measure the components proposed in the model of Magnusson et al. (1999), except for the orientations. The creation of the questionnaire was carried out through eleven steps: (1) conceptualization, (2–4) creation of items and rubric reviewed by experts (focus on content and construct validity), (5–7) piloting a 32-item questionnaire to 10 biology teachers (focus on face and construct validity and reliability), (8–10) piloting a 16-item questionnaire to 61 biology teachers (focus on discriminant and construct validity and reliability), (11) application of a diferent instrument (CoRe interview) to four teachers (focus on criterion validity). The fnal version of the questionnaire (which includes three PCK components) showed in a Rasch analysis for the reliability of the items (α=0.90) and persons (α=0.81) adequate values. When applying the fnal version of the questionnaire, there is also evidence of discriminant validity (diferences between two groups of teachers with or without professional development in evolution education). The contributions of the PCKevo instrument for research topics and evolution teaching are discussed.Item Autorreflexión en la trayectoria docente: propuesta para su desarrollo desde el modelo SIC(Universidad Técnica de Manabí, 2021-10-22) Luci-Arriagada, Gina; Haas Prieto, Valentina; Cárdenas Berrio, María KarlaEl artículo aborda los principios fundamentales sobre los que se basa el modelo de autorreflexión SIC (Sentido – Intervención – Cierre). Dicho modelo se sustenta en los aportes teóricos de Zimmerman, fundamentalmente. Este modelo ofrece preguntas orientadoras a partir de tres fases de trabajo para el proceso de autorreflexión en la práctica docente como profesión. A partir de este modelo de carácter cualitativo, se plantea la necesidad de contar con una herramienta más operativa que permita medir desde el punto de vista de los docentes, la autorreflexión teniendo en cuenta varias dimensiones que involucran el saber práctico y la construcción del saber pedagógico en el proceso docente. Dicho instrumento ha sido confeccionado a partir de la experiencia de las autoras y la revisión bibliográfica, el que se ha validado en diversas instancias formativas.Item Modelling and applications in Iran school mathematics curriculum: voices of math teachers(City University of New York, 2021) Rafiepour, Abolfazl; Farsani, DanyalIn this paper, six mathematics curriculum changes in Iran are reviewed, spanning from 1900 to 2021. Change of forces, barriers, and the main features of each reform are represented. Specifically, the first five curriculum changes are described briefly and the sixth and most recent one is elaborated upon, with more detail as contemporary school mathematics curriculum change. This recent curriculum reform will be then analyzed using an application and modeling approach, followed by reflections from five teachers of mathematics’ voices about how they implemented recent curriculum reform after passing modelling course in their master’s program. These teachers shared their professional beliefs about the role of the modelling course in shaping their classroom practices. We believe that the practical aspects of this paper can have enormous implications for other mathematics teachers in developing countries.Item Teaching and learning of mathematics and criteria for its improvement from the perspective of future teachers: a view from the ontosemiotic approach.(City University of New York, 2021) Breda, Adriana; Seckel, María José; Farsani, Danyal; Fernandes da Silva, José; Calle, EulaliaThe objective of this article is to identify the meaning attributed to the didactics of mathematics and what are the criteria with which an improvement in the teaching and learning process of mathematics is based, future teachers of mathematics, belonging to universities in three different countries (Brazil, Chile, and Ecuador). The qualitative analysis indicates that the majority of future teachers consider that the didactics of mathematics is a technical discipline that consists of providing strategies, resources, and procedures for teaching mathematics; few consider it as an art to teaching and almost none consider it as a scientific discipline that is concerned with studying the processes of teaching and learning mathematics. In addition, the results show that the criteria used by them, on how teaching and learning in this discipline can be improved, are focus, above all, in the cognitive, ecological, and emotional aspects and, to a lesser extent, to the interactional, mediational and epistemic. Finally, it is concluded that the improvement in teaching and learning is directly related to an improvement in the training programs of future mathematics teachers.Item Cultural historical analysis of Iranian school mathematics curriculum: the role of computational thinking(Sriwijaya University, 2021-09) Rafiepour, Abolfazl; Farsani, DanyalIn this paper, six mathematics curriculum changes in Iran will be reviewed, spanning from 1900 until the present time. At first, change forces, barriers, and the main features of each curriculum reform will be represented. The first five curriculum changes are described briefly and the sixth and most recent curriculum reform will be elaborated. In this paper, we call the last reform as contemporary school mathematics curriculum change. This recent (contemporary) curriculum reform will be explained in more detail, followed by a discussion of the effect of globalization and research finding in the field of mathematics and mathematics education (in the Iranian mathematics curriculum). In total, three key ideas are distinguished as an effect of globalization which is “New Math”, “International Comparative Studies”, and “Computational Thinking”. Finally, the paper comments on the necessity of paying more attention to information and communication technology as part of globalization; in particular, recall policy-makers to consider “Computational Thinking” as an important component of future curriculum design.Item Two fish moving in their seas: how does the body language of teachers show itself who teach mathematical equations?(Universidad Luterana de Brasil, 2021) Rosa, Maurício; Farsani, DanyalBackground: “Culture hides much more than it reveals and, strangely enough, what it hides, it hides more effectively from its own participants” (Hall, 1959, p. 39). This quote corresponds well to a Persian proverb, also a well-known aphorism that has been widely cited in many ethnographic articles: “a fish will be the last to discover water.” Being immersed in water, surrounded by it, makes it invisible and almost impossible to perceive. In other words, we often do not know our interactional behaviour as mathematics teachers when we perform it in our usual and localised professional practice. Objective: To discuss mathematics teacher’s body language when teaching equations and thus perceive this language in terms of possible fruitful educational action when teaching equations in the classroom. Design: Qualitative methodology. Data collection and analysis: Based on theoretical references that deal with body language, corporeality, and perception, we analysed individually and comparatively the classes of two mathematics teachers who taught equations in Birmingham (United Kingdom) and Rolante (Brazil). Thus, particularly attentive to mathematical culture in the classroom and analysing the localised gestures in the teachers’ teaching of equations and the non-verbal behaviour, we can understand mathematics teaching through body movement, which often goes unnoticed. Results: We understand from the results of this research that perceiving the body language of mathematics teachers, which is produced with speech, gives us indications of the materialisation of the meanings attributed to the equation and how this will possibly affect the very constitution of the student’s mathematical knowledge, in terms of possible meanings attributed to each gesture. Conclusions: We consider that knowing the body language can favour the teacher’s teaching, i.e., metaphorically, knowing the sea can favour the fish to swim.Item Proxêmica e comunicação não verbal na interação em sala de aula(Psicologia Escolar e Educacional, 2021-12) Farsani, Danyal; Rodrigues, JackelineEste artigo relata um estudo realizado sobre a interação professor-aluno em uma escola pública dos anos iniciais, na cidade de Santiago, Chile. O estudo realizou uma análise quantitativa dos quadros das imagens capturadas por uma minicâmera montada em óculos de um grupo de 18 estudantes. Os quadros selecionados foram os que a professora aparece no campo visual dos alunos. A análise foi desenvolvida a partir do conceito de proxêmica e os resultados mostram que há momentos em que a professora da sala de aula interage com os alunos em um nível mais próximo e, em outros, há um distanciamento maior. Além disso, foi possível identificar diferenças entre meninos e meninas quanto aos padrões proxêmicos de envolvimento visual na interação. Os resultados deste estudo sinalizam novos sentidos para a análise da interação professor-aluno com foco em aspectos não verbais na construção das relações de ensino e aprendizagem.
