Historical knowledge, often overshadowed by mass media communication, plays a crucial role in educating conscious and critical citizens. We want to explore the transformative potential of history in teacher education, particularly through a public history approach, highlighting its ability to foster critical thinking, interdisciplinary understanding and informed decision-making. By integrating historical perspectives, teachers can contextualise and better understand contemporary issues, promote cultural sensitivity and help break down stereotypes and social stigmas.
The first resource to combine the theory of globalizing education preparation programs (EPP) with practice collected from all regions of the world, At School in the World: Developing Globally Engaged Teachers makes the case for the necessity of incorporating global citizenship and intercultural competence development into education curricula at all levels. This volume includes the voices of forty-seven emerging and distinguished intercultural education scholars from ten countries, providing a breadth and depth of experiences and practices never before collected in one book. This is an ideal resource for division leaders of EPP at colleges and universities, education policy developers, teacher preparation faculty, preservice teachers (undergraduate and graduate), and practicing teachers. Through insights from the field and practical examples, along with its broad scope, this comprehensive work aims to help these education practitioners develop their awareness of the importance of internationalization of teacher education; develop their intercultural competence; and learn strategies for incorporating global approaches in their courses and programs.
Language teaching approaches, methods and procedures are constantly undergoing reassessment. New ideas keep emerging as the growing complexity of the means of communication and the opportunities created by technology put language skills to new uses. In addition, the political, social and economic impact of globalisation, the new demands of the labour market that result from it, the pursuit of competitiveness, the challenges of intercultural communication and the diversification of culture have opened new perspectives on the central role that foreign languages have come to play in the development of contemporary societies. This book provides an insight into the latest developments in the field and discusses the new trends in foreign language teaching in four major areas, namely methods and approaches, teacher training, innovation in the classroom, and evaluation and assessment.
Che cos’è l’inclusione e come si pratica nella scuola? Il volume intende rispondere a queste domande, introducendo il lettore all’interno del lessico, dei concetti di base e delle strategie che caratterizzano il discorso e la prassi dell’inclusione scolastica. Partendo dagli aspetti teoretici e da una definizione di inclusione come ricerca dell’eguaglianza formativa, attraversando il profilo dell’insegnante e del curricolo inclusivi, analizzando gli aspetti normativi che regolano l’inclusione, si arriva alla descrizione critica di alcuni strumenti operativi necessari a praticarla.
The volume examines the crucial and current connection between orientation, training and teaching professionalism. The various contributions make references to the new regulation on the subject, and focus on the institutional task and the pedagogical role played by orientation and training in creating a new physiognomy of the teachers' professionalism: an initial orientation, an in itinere orientation and an outgoing orientation, alongside personal and professional training, intended as an open and ongoing process. These are two fundamental devices to grasp the complexity of being a teacher and working in schools nowadays. They are also accompanied by the traineeship, which in this context is examined through the report of a multi-year work.
