INTERNATIONALISATION: A CATALYST FOR ADVANCEMENT IN ARTISTIC AND PEDAGOGICAL EDUCATION IN PR CHINA

In the realm of education, particularly within the spheres of art and pedagogy, the concept of internationalisation has emerged as a potent catalyst for progress and advancement. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the context of the People's Republic of China, where a concerted effort towards internationalisation has profoundly transformed arts education, elevating it onto the global stage. This article aims to underscore internationalisation as a pivotal factor in the contemporary development of art and pedagogical education in the People's Republic of China, while also highlighting its traditional role in shaping the trajectory of education in historical retrospect. The research methodology employed in this article draws upon conventional approaches in the field of comparative pedagogy, including the historical approach, literature review, analysis of regulatory frameworks, and utilisation of open sources of information. The novelty of this article lies in its presentation of internationalisation as both a progressive and traditional tool, particularly in the context of training future art teachers for public schools in China. One of the primary mechanisms through which internationalisation fosters the advancement of art and teacher education in the PRC is by facilitating the exchange of ideas, techniques, and best practices with educational institutions and educators worldwide. Collaborative partnerships and academic exchanges have played a crucial role in revitalising knowledge, enriching curricula, and refining pedagogical approaches within Chinese higher education institutions today. Conclusion: internationalisation stands as the cornerstone of progress and development in art and pedagogical education in China. By embracing diversity, fostering collaboration, and embracing global perspectives, Chinese educational institutions have positioned themselves at the forefront of innovation and excellence in internationalisation, particularly within the realm of arts and education.

Preservice teachers' learning by design through space construction in the metaverse

AbstractTeachers who know what, how and why to teach are essential for successful student learning. However, many preservice teachers (PSTs) lack teaching experience and the ability to integrate theory and practice. To help bridge this gap, this study employed a learning‐by‐design project approach in which 22 Korean PSTs developed lesson plans for middle school English classes, constructed virtual classrooms in the metaverse based on their English lesson plans, and conducted microteaching in the virtual classrooms. The study used a qualitative research method and focused on an emic perspective with multiple data sets, including the PSTs' reflection papers and post‐interviews as primary data, and their lesson plans, virtual classrooms and recordings of microteaching as secondary data. The results showed that the project supported learning by design, and that it also helped PSTs understand learners and learning, redefine the teacher's role as a designer and facilitator, connect theories to practice and improve their teaching skills. The findings can be used as a reference for future teacher training. Practitioner notesWhat is already known about this topic Teachers' content, pedagogical and technological knowledge and skills are essential attributes for effective performance. Preservice teachers (PSTs) have difficulty transferring their knowledge to real classrooms because their knowledge often focuses on the ‘know‐what’ of teaching, but not on the ‘know‐how’. Microteaching in virtual environments helps PSTs connect knowledge and practice and prepare for real classroom situations. What this paper adds The study applied a learning‐by‐design approach to preservice teachers' microteaching to help them connect their pedagogical knowledge to classroom practice. The study focused on describing how the PSTs' virtual classroom design influenced the way they planned and implemented their microteaching. Implications for practice and/or policy Teacher educators can incorporate the design‐based approach into their teacher training modules to help teachers understand learner needs when planning and implementing English lessons. Teachers can develop technological literacy and positive attitudes about using technology in their classrooms.

Insights Into a New Format of Education for Sustainable Nutrition in Teacher Education

Abstract Education for sustainable nutrition will only succeed if society is given direct access and experience to the obvious benefits of a sustainable lifestyle. An earlier personal and positive association to a sustainable lifestyle makes a dietary shift most likely. Here, the training future teachers plays a central role as a multiplicator. Project-based learning (PBL) is a well-known approach with the purpose of crosslinking theoretical knowledge with real-life practice. Despite many existing PBL approaches, there is a gap of conveniently applicable and easily transferable approaches for ensuring their sustainable integration into teacher education. This study aims to fill this gap by exemplarily leading students to experience edible plant diversity in urban environments via action-oriented learning and out-of-school learning places. The present study outlines the methodological and didactic process and the practical implementation of an innovative sustainable approach of PBL for education for sustainable nutrition in the curriculum of teacher education. The results are discussed on the basis of student feedback and the evaluation of the recent course conducted in 2022 at the Technical University of Berlin. Measured by the outcome of the course, the new concept applied here has a personal impact by that having the potential to facilitate a more sustainable approach of nutrition in our society.

USING CLIL IN PROFESSIONAL TRAINING OF FUTURE VOCATIONAL EDUCATION TEACHERS IN LEADING EUROPEAN COUNTRIES

The challenges of wartime have prompted Ukrainian researchers to seek the most effective methods for enhancing professional education, particularly professional training of future vocational education teachers. As a result, examining the leading European experience with content and language integrated learning (CLIL) in professional training programmes for future vocational education teachers is scientifically justified and necessary. It is found that the problem of using CLIL in professional training of future specialists is notably significant. In the context of globalization and European integration processes, future professionals must demonstrate high levels of foreign language competence and competitiveness in the international labour market. Leading European countries, including Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, France and Spain, actively implement CLIL’s conceptual aspects in their training programmes. However, the specific features of these implementations, such as sectorality, strategies and approaches, assessment characteristics and material support, may vary. The main advantages and challenges of using CLIL in professional training of future vocational education teachers are identified. Based on leading European experiences, the most effective methods to enhance professional training through CLIL are substantiated. These methods include the development of integrated educational programmes, effective use of resources, differentiated instruction, systematic assessment and feedback, as well as reflective practice. Accordingly, relevant recommendations are proposed to improve professional training of future vocational education teachers in Ukraine by integrating key aspects of CLIL into curricula. It is defined that, by adopting these practices, future vocational education teachers can effectively employ CLIL to enhance both language and vocational learning, better preparing their students for success in global and multicultural work environments. Further research is aimed at analyzing the content of foreign language training for future vocational education teachers in developed countries.

Knowing the nature, students become harmoniously developed and comprehensively aware personalities, which is an important element of modern educational process.

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.
