OUTRAS FORMAS DE PENSAR AS DOCÊNCIAS EM MATEMÁTICA: OS USOS DE TEORIA E PRÁTICA NA FORMAÇÃO DE PROFESSORES

ABSTRACT: This paper develops from discursivities concerning theory and practice that go along with teachers training. Taking Michel Foucault’s theorization, Ludwig Wittgenstein’s latter thought and studies on contemporary teaching as analytical inspiration, this research describes the meaning ascribed to theory and practice on Mathematics’ teachers training courses, analyzing how they have been providing teaching that corroborate dichotomous utterances about these dimensions. The research material was provided by means of semi-structured interviews with Mathematics teachers who teach on Mathematics degree courses in the South of the country. The analytical movement performed exhibits that, as mathematical and educational knowledge are ascribed only in one of these dimensions, ways of teaching that prioritize what lies either on the concrete and the daily or on the abstract and the formal are settled, thus naturalizing and corroborating the dichotomy theory-practice on teachers training.

CHANGES IN THE MICROSTRUCTURE AND MICROHARDNESS OF 65G STEEL AFTER THERMAL HARDENING AND SURFACING WITH A LOW-CARBON ELECTRODE

The article is devoted to the urgent problem of improving the methodological training of biology teachers, who are direct mentors of participants, as well as winners and prize-winners of the All-Russian Olympiad of Schoolchildren in Biology. To date, the results of the participants of this intellectual competition are not only an important indicator of the professionalism and pedagogical skills of the teacher-mentor working with them, but also an indicator of the effectiveness of the educational organization on the basis of which the training was organized. The article describes the experience of organizing and conducting advanced training courses for teachers who are mentors of participants of the All-Russian Biology Olympiad in the context of implementing additional professional programs, including using e-learning and distance learning technologies.

Развитие метакомпетенций преподавателей с использованием педагогической фасилитации

The meta-competencies in professional activity are as important as their development ways in the system of general and vocational education. An integrated approach is necessary in the formation of meta-competencies as universal flexible structures in the basis for professional competencies both in the process of vocational education and in obtaining direct work experience. They begin to form spontaneously mainly during the period of secondary general education, therefore it is advisable to make this process more manageable. Suggested pedagogical facilitation is a suitable tool for this. However, the organization and implementation of the facilitation session requires the teacher to have experience as a participant. We describe the methodology of organizing the practical part of the advanced training course for teachers of specialized classes of Derzhavin Tambov State University based on the principles of pedagogical facilitation. The purpose of the practical part of the course is to create educational technology as an author's collective product. The use of pedagogical facilitation in this case allows teachers to gain positive experience of participation in the facilitated process, creation of a group creative product, new application of their personal pedagogical experience, development of their own meta-competencies. In general, the results recorded in the form of created collective author's educational technologies and feedback from the course participants confirm the effectiveness of our approach to organizing a refresher course for teachers. It is concluded, that teachers have a unique professional experience, the best of which can be transformed into an effective author's educational technology if they are given a new form (structure of educational technology) and combine their efforts in a pedagogical facilitation session.

«Я БОЛЬШЕ НЕ БОЮСЬ!»: ИЗМЕНЕНИЯ В ИДЕНТИЧНОСТИ ПРЕПОДАВАТЕЛЯ ПОСЛЕ ОБУЧЕНИЯ НА КУРСАХ EMI

Although English Medium Instruction (EMI) in tertiary education enhances the international prestige of academic staff, the practices of universities regarding the training of EMI staff are few in the literature as well as the analysis of the impact the such courses have on EMI academic staff. University staff are pushed towards teaching through English with little administrative support, which causes the creation of EMI training courses. The paper offers a practical example of how to apply research findings, university context, needs analysis and course feedback to syllabus design for teacher training in EMI in the context of a Russian university. It describes piloting of an EMI training course. The authors present the content of an EMI training course; analyze feedback from EMI teacher trainees to show how the EMI training course influences academic staff identity. The respondents recognized that the EMI course had improved them both professionally (innovative methods of teaching, interactive lecturing techniques, EMI strategies) and personally (increased level of language proficiency, boosted confidence in teaching in English). Although the course design has naturally been influenced by Russian context, the underlying principles, problems and solutions can usefully inform the development of EMI teacher training courses in other parts of the world.

AS REPERCUSSÕES DAS AVALIAÇÕES EXTERNAS EM LARGA ESCALA NA ORGANIZAÇÃO DO TRABALHO PEDAGÓGICO: UMA POSSIBILIDADE DE DISCUSSÃO A PARTIR DO ESTÁGIO SUPERVISIONADO

ABSTRACT: This article aims to analyze the presence of large-scale external evaluations in the organization of the pedagogical work of schools oversaw by the mathematics undergraduates from the Federal Institute of Education, Science, and Technology of São Paulo, Bragança Paulista campus, during their supervised internship, contemplating the reflections created by them from theoretical studies that guided this process. For this purpose, considering the technique of content analysis, 19 reports built in the 2nd semester of 2019 by the undergraduates of the Licentiate Degree in Mathematics were analyzed. It was observed that, during the internships, the undergraduates were faced with the repercussions of external evaluations on the organization of the pedagogical work. Such repercussions permeate the moments of Collective Pedagogical Work Classes (ATPC), Class Councils, Parent-Teacher Meetings, and the planning of activities for students. The analysis of the reports shows that the future teachers reflected on these repercussions about school management, pedagogical practices of teachers, and the training process of students. It is argued that teacher training courses devote time and space to analyze the relationship between assessment and organization of pedagogical work, in order to foster the (de)construction of concepts and practices related to the logic of training and curriculum structure, arising from large-scale external evaluations.

Die Vorstellung der Praktikumslehrpersonen von einem guten Unterricht während des Schulpraktikums angehender Primarlehrerinnen und Primarlehrer in der Fachdidaktik Deutsch als Fremdsprache

This contribution deals with the views of in-service school teachers about a good lesson during a four-week period of teaching practice for future teachers as part of their bachelor’s degree and explains the correlation between the teaching practice and the didactics of German as a foreign language and foreign languages didactics in general. After describing the organization of the teaching practice and the theoretical background of the teacher training courses at the university, the contribution goes on to investigate and discuss what the student teachers put into practice in their lesson planning. It emerges that the interviews with the teachers’ mentors about a good language lesson contain both pedagogical as well as didactic themes and that the professionalization of student teachers can differ depending on the in-service teacher.

COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE LEGAL STATUS OF THE HIGH COUNCIL OF JUSTICE IN UKRAINE AND FOREIGN COUNTRIES

The need to study certain aspects of the judiciary is explained by the constant updating of current legislation. Given that the Ukrainian legislator has recently paid close attention to the call-up foreign experience, there is an objective need to analyse the legal status of the High Council of Justice, or bodies that perform its functions in foreign countries. The purpose of the article is to conduct a comprehensive comparative legal analysis of the status of the High Council of Justice in Ukraine and abroad. In the process of comparative legal analysis of the status of the High Council of Justice in Ukraine and foreign countries, the following methods were used: formal-legal (dogmatic), comparative-legal and the method of dogmatic (logical) analysis. According to the results of the research, it is determined that the current state of activity of the High Council of Justice is characterised by a certain representation of executive bodies, including judicial bodies. The key task is to work on the development of the judiciary, participation in the administration of judges, and the disciplinary responsibility of prosecutors and judges. It was found that the legislation of foreign states, consolidating the powers of judicial self-government bodies, gives them the right to select candidates for judges, appoint court chairmen, including bringing judges to disciplinary responsibility. Such bodies always involve government officials, including the president. However, it should be noted that the judiciary has exclusive independence from other bodies, including the executive and the legislature, which is manifested in broad powers. It is argued that the world practice identifies two main options for the appointment of judges: appointment by the President or Parliament on the proposal of the Ministry of Justice or the relevant body of judicial self-government (judicial councils); direct appointment of judges by the relevant body of judicial self-government (judicial councils). The study provides a comprehensive comparative legal analysis of the functioning of the High Council of Justice in Ukraine and foreign countries in today’s conditions, and provides specific proposals to improve existing legislation in terms of the activities of the body under study. The materials of this study can be useful for teaching training courses: Judicial system of Ukraine, international law. Also, the submitted proposals to improve the functioning of the body under study can be used by the legislature in considering the possibility of updating special national legislation

FOREIGN LANGUAGE TEACHERS’ LINGUISTIC AND CULTURAL AWARENESS: WAYS OF DEVELOPMENT

Today the development of professional standards aimed at teachers of foreign languages and requirements applied to the level of professional competence are both greatly discussed. It is obvious that new approaches are needed in order to form professional courses which focus on enriching language and cultural awareness of school teachers of foreign languages. Following the changes of educational system in general and taking into account the growth of information and communication technologies and their impact on educational teacher-training courses, the digital environment should be considered as the most appropriate for the teachers’ professional development. Defining the learning style of the teachers and analysing the results of some questionnaires, the methodological approaches to the course have been chosen and described as a combination of the leaner-centered approach (for language teachers), communicative approach, Kolb’s learning styles model and digital learning. Some difficulties the language teachers usually face are vocabulary, fluency, in which non-native English teachers are in a disadvantage, grammar and listening and reading skills due to the lack of practice. To meet the language teachers’ expectations some actions such as supplementation the language teachers with appropriate amount of practice of receptive and productive skills, usage of discourse analysis to advance the teachers’ linguistic skills and enlarging their socio-cultural information with the help of texts for reading and listening are to be done. Moreover, the course includes elements of test tasks in the format of tasks of the unified state exam in English, as well as several international exams of the appropriate level. In the process of studying according to the course program, foreign language teachers increase the level of linguistic and cultural competence by working with texts containing material of a linguistic and cultural orientation. The results of final test and evaluation prove the effectiveness of the proposed and further described ideas.
