성착취 피해 아동·청소년을 위한 교육현황 및 교육방안 연구

The purpose of this paper is to examine the current status of education provided to children and adolescents affected by sexual exploitation (hereinafter referred to as victims) and to suggest necessary educational measures for them. Since the law related to the prevention of prostitution and the protection of victims was enacted, support institutions based on the law have been in operation. However, most of them are livelihood, counseling, and medical care to solve problems, and education for victims is the responsibility of some institutions. In addition, although there are official figures for academic and self-support, research on the current status and practice of education that can compare them is insufficient. To this end, a domestic web-based academic database and related literature and research reports were reviewed. Based on this, through an interview survey of practitioners working in the institution, the necessary educational plans for sexual exploitation children and adolescents are presented by examining difficulties and limitations in the field. Accordingly, the following educational plan is proposed. First, specialized educational directions and contents for children and adolescents affected by sexual exploitation are required. In addition, diagnostic tools that can identify their problems should be developed. Second, education for them should be based on relationship-based personality education. It is of paramount importance to experience respect, love, and consideration within personal encounters. Third, it is important to arrange experts according to the characteristics of the problem and to support institutional practitioners. Accordingly, it is also proposed to specialized educational institutions and expert training courses for children and adolescents affected by sexual exploitation.

Implementing a process-based reflective teacher training course through situational role play, video, and scenario evidence and its effects on EFL teacher candidates’ perceptions of caring and reflective practices

ABSTRACT The current study examined the teacher candidates’ perceptions of ways a process-based reflective teacher training course-especially those focused on bumpy moments in the classroom, through situational role plays, video reflections, and scenarios- could assist them in their reflective and caring practices. In this regard, a sample of 45 pre-service teacher candidates enrolled at a teacher education university in Iran partook in the study and filled in the reflective and caring practices questionnaire before and after the treatment. Moreover, three teacher candidates were offered to keep reflective journals about the procedure based on their observations. Furthermore, pre- and post-phase interview was conducted with 15 participants. The results of this study revealed that the participants across all three intervention groups experienced improvement as a result of engaging in the teacher training course. The scenario group had the highest mean, followed by the video group; the role play group showed the least amount of improvement in reflective questionnaire mean score of all the treatment groups. The implication is that the process-oriented reflective teacher training course through situational role-play, video-based reflection, and scenario-based reflection can make teacher candidates more cautious about the caring and reflective aspects of their teaching.

Образовательная практика проведения вебинара при организации курсов повышения квалификации педагогов

<p><em>The work is aimed at analyzing the possibilities of educational practice of conducting a webinar at teacher training courses in the field of education. The article describes the practice of organizing and conducting webinars using interactive forms of learning and discusses the possibilities of organizing interactive remote discussion in a chat. A webinar usually allows the teacher to share information and organize its discussion in a chat. We consider it necessary to find ways to influence not only the cognitive, but also the emotional and sensual sphere during the webinar. The impact on the emotional and sensory sphere of listeners contributes to the assimilation of the presented educational information. As the practice of conducting webinars shows, listeners most successfully perceive information with the help of emotional visual images. Reliance on an emotionally colored image provides the teacher-listener with the effectiveness of studying educational information and using it in the future in his teaching activities. The article describes the techniques of influencing the emotional and sensual sphere of listeners during webinars.</em></p>

Digital Teacher Training in the Portuguese National Plan for Digital Development at Schools: A Case Study

Schools have been responding to the ongoing digital transformation, which requires continuous self-reflection and decision-making skills from teachers in the inclusion of new digital technologies in the teaching and learning process. In the present study, descriptive measures were used to understand how 140 teachers, in a school group, perceived their digital competences through the Check-in Questionnaire (Study 1). A school group is a Portuguese organisational unit, constituted by different schools, catering to different age groups, managed by a single director. Study 2 addressed how this specific school group organised teacher training courses, considering the results of Check-in Questionnaire, and the scope of the National Digital Transition Plan. Interviews, in which data content analysis was applied, were undertaken with seven teacher instructors, selected to implement digital training. The results of Study 1 revealed that most teachers are positioned at level 2, an intermediate level, with no differences in age or years of service. In Study 2, instructors revealed that the proficiency level assigned in the Check-in Questionnaire did not always correspond to a teacher’s real digital skills, identifying this as one of the obstacles to achieving the initial training aims. The goal of the training was for these professionals to feel committed to their educational context and understand what is intended in the inclusion of digital skills in the classroom. The relevance of this study relates to the current context, which places education and teachers at the centre of a digital agenda focused on the development of digital skills, thus generating new pedagogical practices, while accompanying the process from the initial assessment to the implementation of training in the National Digital Transition Plan.

Teacher education for mathematical modelling: exploring the experiences of secondary school teachers in two courses

This paper focuses on in-service teacher education as a crucial agent in driving educational paradigm shifts for the teaching and learning of mathematical modelling. Our paper presents empirical research based on two case studies, examining training courses for in-service secondary school mathematics teachers. The first course integrates different modelling approaches, while the second one is based on the anthropological theory of the didactic and uses the proposal of the study and research paths for teacher education. Both experiences conclude with teachers working on the design of modelling tasks to be implemented in secondary schools. Both courses are analysed through the lenses of how teachers progress on the collective identification of conditions and constraints for modelling, when teachers deal with the design of modelling tasks and analyse their implementations. First, the results show the kind of modelling tasks teachers design and the level of disciplinary specificity at which they plan modelling to be implemented. Second, we analyse how teachers address the “ecological analysis”, that is, the identification of conditions and constraints that facilitate or hinder the integration of modelling in secondary school classrooms after their experiences.

THE EFFECTIVENESS OF ADVANCED TRAINING COURSES FOR TEACHERS IN FIELD OF EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE

The purpose of this article is to demonstrate the effectiveness of advanced training courses for teachers aimed at developing emotional intelligence, as well as to assess their impact on the professional growth of teachers and improve practical skills in managing emotions and interpersonal relationships in an educational environment. The study was conducted using diagnostic and final testing, as well as feedback from course participants. Diagnostic testing was conducted before the start of the course to assess the initial level of knowledge about emotional intelligence, and final testing was conducted at the end of the course to measure changes in the level of knowledge. Feedback from the trainees was used to assess the satisfaction with the courses and their perception. The test results showed a statistically significant improvement in the level of teachers' knowledge about emotional intelligence after completing the course. Diagnostic testing revealed that initially a significant part of the teachers lacked basic information on this topic. The final testing demonstrated a significant increase in awareness and understanding of the concepts of emotional intelligence. Feedback from the course participants confirms the positive perception of the material and its practical significance for professional activity. The refresher course has demonstrated its high effectiveness in improving teachers' knowledge of emotional intelligence and their practical skills in managing emotions and interpersonal relationships. The results of the study emphasize the importance of including emotional intelligence topics in educational programs for teachers, which contributes to their professional growth and improving the quality of the educational process.

Effectiveness of educational training courses aimed at developing spiritual intelligence and reducing anxiety and depressive disorders among students

Introduction. Spiritual Intelligence plays a pivotal role in mitigating depression and irrational thoughts, significantly contributing to improved student achievement. This research aims to determine whether or not spiritual intelligence can help college students deal with mental health issues like depression and illogical thinking while simultaneously boosting their academic performance. The sample of the study and methods. The study sample comprised of (62) male and female university students, and they were randomly distributed into two groups: controlling and experimental. Two scales were used: The scale of depression where its items were distributed on four dimensions, are bodily dimension, verbal dimension, the withdrawal dimension, and the psychological dimension, and the scale of irrationality thinking, it had been prepared and joined (60) statements measuring irrational thinking to emphasize the validity of the content. Results. The results show that following the intervention, there were notable improvements in the experimental group's levels of despair and irrational thinking. After the intervention, the average depression score for the experimental group dropped from 90.41 to 67.13, a statistically significant decrease. The control group's decline was less pronounced, falling from 87.85 to 84.26. The average scores for irrational thinking in the experimental group fell from 201.65 to 153.92, while in the control group they were mostly unchanged. It is worth mentioning that there was a more notable decline in depression in females as compared to males. Among college students, the survey found an average spiritual intelligence level of 3.38, with variations noted according to gender and academic performance. Academic success is strongly predicted with critical existential thinking (R2 =5.6%), according to regression research. Practical significance. This study presents important findings regarding the potential of spiritual intelligence to help college students cope with mental health challenges such as sadness and illogical thinking. This study offers important information for mental health practitioners and educators since it shows that spiritual intelligence can lower depression scores and illogical thoughts. Based on the results, student support programs that include interventions focused on spiritual intelligence may help students' mental health and academic performance. For schools, this could mean providing a more all-encompassing plan to ensure their pupils thrive in school.

ChatGPT-facilitated professional development: evidence from professional trainers’ learning achievements, self-worth, and self-confidence

ABSTRACT Professional trainers play an important role in helping new recruits adapt to the workplace. In general hospitals, training courses for clinical teachers still adopt the lecture method. Such a teacher training approach focuses on the way of delivering knowledge and skills, while the training for their teaching of case handling as well as their self-worth and self-confidence could be insufficient. In order to cope with this problem, the present study proposed a ChatGPT-based training mode (ChatGPT-TM) for professional development. To verify its effects, we conducted an experiment in a “Using ChatGPT in Case Teaching” course for clinical teachers in hospitals, and explored their learning achievement, self-worth, self-confidence, and learning perceptions using the ChatGPT training mode (ChatGPT-TM) and the conventional training mode (C-TM). The results showed that the ChatGPT-TM could effectively enhance clinical teachers’ learning achievement in case teaching, self-worth, and self-confidence in comparison with the C-TM. The main contribution of this study is that it revealed that ChatGPT could allow clinical teachers to carry out reflection, verify references, and integrate theory and practice, which improved their learning achievement, made them realize their self-worth, and increased their self-confidence in performing professional training tasks.

Preparing Teachers of the Future in the Era of Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is designed to create intelligent systems capable of performing tasks traditionally dependent on human intellect. Its integration into the field of education presents both opportunities and challenges as it is quickly expanding. Preparing teachers for this rapidly advancing technological shift is essential for success, as education itself is not static. This position paper adopts the methodology of synthesizing existing literature on innovative strategies for integrating AI into the preparation of Teachers of the Future. The concept of Teachers of the Future was introduced in this paper, addressing concerns surrounding AI’s potential to replace teachers. The paper recognized the irreplaceable roles of teachers in providing emotional and moral support as well as nurturing critical thinking among learners. It further explored the importance of AI for effective application in teaching and learning processes. Drawing upon the synthesis of literature collected from the review of related works, strategies for preparing Teachers of the Future in the Era of AI can be realized by implementing approaches such as development of AI literacy, integrating AI into teacher training courses, promoting collaborative learning among teachers in training, offering continuing education opportunities, and nurturing a positive attitude towards AI utilization. The paper suggested, among others, that Teachers of the Future should be provided with foundational training in AI application for teaching and learning processes within teacher education programmes offered by teacher training institutions.

MATHEMATICAL COMPETENCE MODEL OF A TECHNOLOGY TEACHER

The purpose of the article is to define the structure and build a model of the mathematical competence of a teacher of technological education, develop methods for its parametric identification, analyze the results of the testing of the proposed methods of measuring mathematical competence. The conducted research was based on theoretical methods of system analysis, pedagogical modeling, as well as experimental methods of sample research, methods of statistical analysis of experimental data, in particular, descriptive statistics and correlation analysis. As a result of the study, a reasonable definition of the mathematical competence of a teacher of technological education is given, its components are highlighted: operational-arithmetic (arithmetic), geometric, mathematical modeling, analytical-statistical, which determine the functions of mathematical activity of a teacher of technological education. A hierarchical structure of the content of mathematical competence has been built, it is justified that it should contain three levels: basic, medium, high. It is shown that a basic level of mathematical competence is sufficient to ensure the main work of a teacher in the technological education field. A structural model of the mathematical competence of a teacher of the technological educational field was built, in which information connections between the subject-professional activity of a teacher of the technological educational field, his/her scientific and analytical activity, components of mathematical competence and the system of forming its content are reflected. The value of the index of the basic level of mathematical competence was evaluated as the probability of coping with a randomly selected task from the population of tasks related to the teacher's work functions, the average value of which is 0.63. It is estimated that approximately 70% of technology education teachers can solve more than half of the basic level problems. The correlational dependence between the results from the mathematical modeling components and the arithmetic component was revealed. The main problematic mathematical questions for teachers of technological education are also revealed. The practical significance of the study is that the obtained results allow to improve the system of training future teachers of the technological educational field, in particular their mathematical training, as well as to adjust the content of postgraduate pedagogical education of teachers. The main conclusions of the study include that it is the basic level of mathematical competence that is necessary for the realization of the functions of a teacher of the technological educational field, and also that at least 30% of the teachers of the technological educational field need the development of mathematical competence. Therefore, possible further explorations involve the implementation of trainings, special courses, blocks of practical classes at advanced training courses for technological education teachers to develop their mathematical competence and analyze their effectiveness.
