Las Nuevas tecnologías y los itinerarios didácticos: el Museo de la Memoria de Granada

Los itinerarios didácticos son un recurso tradicional dentro de la enseñaza aprendizaje. Centrándonos en el área de las Ciencias Sociales y más concretamente en la Didáctica del Patrimonio, consideramos que su utilización como recurso tienen una gran función educativa, ya que posibilitan la integración del alumno en la realización de una práctica activa, proporcionan un contacto directo con el entorno y por lo tanto con la realidad, permiten profundizar en el conocimiento y adquirir métodos de trabajo, así como contrastar de forma experimental, sucesos y hechos culturales e histórico-artísticos y adquirir sentimientos de protagonismo en su enseñanza por parte del alumno, pasando de ser un sujeto pasivo a activo

Understanding learning and teaching : elementary teacher trainers in Papua New Guinea engaged in cultural authorship in the context of national educational reform

Over the last decade, Papua New Guinea (PNG) has pursued educational reform in elementary teacher education. Because elementary teachers and teacher education are central to the reform agenda, there is a need to gain empirical evidence about how PNG teacher trainers’ understandings about learning and teaching impact on their practice. The study uses cultural-authorship as a theoretical framework to investigate the nature of changes in understanding about learning and teaching for 18 teacher trainers as they progressed through a two-year Bachelor of Early Childhood upgrade course. It addresses the research question: What do elementary teacher trainers in PNG understanding about learning and teaching and how has this changed during their course? The focus on such understandings provides valuable insights into their professional identities at a critical time in PNG’s education reform agenda. Analysis of journal entries at the beginning and end of the course showed that, over time, teacher trainers described increasingly more complex ways of understanding learning and teaching. These views shifted from a focus on learning and teaching as transmission of ideas to one in which the critical role played by communities and families in educational processes and the teacher as a change agent became focal. This watershed finding demonstrates notable shifts in teacher trainers’ professional identities from trainers to community leaders in elementary education.

Dos líneas de investigación didáctica con colectivos de tercera edad y patrimonio cultural

Esta comunicación nos permite exponer dos líneas de reflexión y, consecuentemente, de investigación sobre cómo la educación de las personas de Tercera Edad puede llevar a mejorar el desarrollo personal y optimizar su calidad de vida. El contexto educativo en el cual se desarrollan estas investigaciones es el ámbito no formal del aprendizaje

Trabajar el patrimonio histórico-artístico y cultural con maestros en formación de educación infantil

La participación de modo práctico en la asignatura de Conocimiento del Medio Social y Cultural y su Didáctica, de los alumnos de 2º curso de Educación Infantil de la Facultad de Ciencias de la Educación de la Universidad de Granada, nos llevó desde el planteamiento inicial a enfrentarnos a nivel teórico-práctico a un grupo de alumnos universitarios que en un futuro cercano van a tener la posibilidad de poner en práctica la experiencia vivida, y contextualizarla según las exigencias de nuestro sistema educativo. Como signo de alerta llamó nuestra atención el hecho de que a la altura de curso en el que entramos en contacto, y a falta de un curso académico para la finalización de la carrera, el 90% de éstos no habían manifestado interés, ni siquiera curiosidad por uno de los ejemplos patrimoniales más significativos de la ciudad de Granada, y vecino a la Facultad que era sede diaria de los alumnos. Por ello, acercarnos al monumento y sugerir mediante un aprendizaje autónomo la propuesta de planteamientos didácticos de aproximación al Patrimonio Histórico- Artístico y Cultural fue todo un reto y una experiencia muy válida compartida entre estudiantes y docente

Heteronormativity and teaching: A phenomenological study of lesbian teachers

The purpose of this phenomenological study was to understand what impact “heteronormativity” has on a lesbian teacher's perception of her instructional style, content, and context of curriculum taught. Through taped interviews with lesbian educators, this research examined the lived experience of the lesbian teacher. The framework for this study included theories related to historical, sociocultural, and psychosocial development while the methodology included a qualitative design using primary elements of a phenomenological study outlined without ignoring the influence associated with contextualism. Due to the sensitive nature of the study nine women who were the focus of this research were volunteers with the first serving as a “gatekeeper” to assist in the pilot study. The subsequent group evolved as a result of “snowballing” to gain more participants. ^ The data in the form of narrative derived from the interviews was transcribed, color-coded, and organized into four themes and associated sub-themes, based upon the perceptions of these educators. These themes characterized the coming out process of a lesbian, which directly paralleled the personal and professional development of the lesbian educator, emerged as a result of the analysis. They included: (a) self-acknowledgement; (b) self-indentification; (c) coming out to other lesbians by overcoming fear and establishing relationships; (d) coming out to others by overcoming heteronormativity by using support groups in defining a lesbian's role as a teacher. ^ The results of this study showed that the acceptance of the lesbian culture, shared with the acknowledgement, rather than compliance or defiance, of cultural hegemony can allow the lesbian educator to develop a curriculum and a classroom climate that will foster understanding and even generate social change among colleagues, parents, and students, one person at a time. ^
