Abstract:
Gli autori in questo contributo evidenziano gli esiti di una ricerca relativa all'analisi di tre profili professionali del sociale (assistente sociale, educatore e operatore socio-sanitario), realizzata nel 2010 nel territorio della regione Marche. Con riferimento a tali profili i contenuti proposti mettono a fuoco gli aspetti connessi ai percorsi formativi e alle prassi operative messe in atto sul campo, evidenziandone i punti di forza, le criticitŕ, nonché le questioni aperte su cui appare piů urgente intervenire. In merito all'operativitŕ, tali figure professionali risentono delle condizioni di emergenza con cui i servizi si stanno misurando, oltre che dell'elevato carico di lavoro. Emerge, pertanto, uno stato di precarietŕ degli operatori che influisce sulla qualitŕ delle risposte e ne rende piů "incerto" il ruolo professionale, soprattutto nel terzo settore. D'altro canto si evidenzia come la legge 328/2000 abbia attribuito un forte rilievo alla dimensione dell'integrazione socio-sanitaria e del lavoro di rete.

Abstract:
In order to light up certain micropedagogical relations in this paper, we try to look at education through the prism of the peculiarities of interaction of essential factors of the educational process - educator and educatee. In doing so, the focus of our interest is on the explanation of educator’s obligations arising from the legality of interpersonal interaction. By gaining adequate insight into such demands, the educator is able to trace the path that is necessary to cross in order to avoid the trap of authoritarianism, and gain the necessary authoritativeness of the educational process. By the analysis of the Qur’anic text we come to the conclusion that the source components of educator’s authority are his personality characteristics and his professional competence. By describing prophets as educational authorities, the Holy Qur’an presents personality features that attract every educatee. All these features, grouped in the personal and professional competencies, are, in fact, disposition capacity of educators. From there, the manifestation of dispositional dimensions of the educator’s authority results in a functional educational environment, and the establishment of encouraging climate of interaction and refining interpersonal relationships are recognized as an essential thread of effective educational efforts. Since the education, in general, can be regarded as a sociological phenomenon, our theoretical considerations are, in fact, a prognostic attempt of indications and offering of solutions for primarily social problems.

Abstract:
THE INTENT OF THIS PAPER is to explore the ways in which educational documentation—one of the many important key principles that challenge and sustain the educational theories and teaching practice of the Reggio Emilia Educational Project in Italy—supports the practice, principles and pedagogy of early years educators. In this particular context, documentation is positioned as both a strategy and a tool for examining the work of the individual and of the group, for both children and educators, with the aim of questioning the role documentation might play in supporting educators' professional learning. This commentary paper will examine the concept of documenting as a process that enables an educator's work to become visible and therefore support their evolving capacity as an educator, through ongoing reflective practice, as indicated in the Australian Early Years Learning Framework (DEEWR, 2009).

Abstract:
Literature has shown that various studies have dealt with different professional features of teaching and they have focused on one or few professional characteristics of educators. In spite of the immense amount of literature on educator characteristics, a comprehensive study that would encompass the vital professional characteristics of an educator in total is lacking. This has instigated the researcher to take up the study to identify the professional characteristics of an educator. An attempt was made in identifying the educators' characteristics using student outcome as a boundary criterion to select the characteristics from among several that are available in the literature. Therefore, a new model of professional characteristics of educators was proposed. This paper discusses in detail, the characteristics of a profession in general and the wide range of educator’s characteristics as studied in previous researches. The paper presents a wide scope for the models developed to be studied in depth to appreciate and investigate more about the professional characteristics identified through this review of literature. The models may also be tested empirically for further accumulation of knowledge in the field.

Abstract:
The article deals with the problem regarding the formation of the future preschool educators’ information culture. It is substantiated that the information culture is a necessary condition for the modern education and subsequent successful professional activity of an educator in preschool educational institutions. It has been proved that under conditions of widespread use of modern information and communication technologies in the educational process of preschool educational institutions, the requirements to the future educators’ professional training are greatly expanded, and therefore the need to form the preschool educators’ information culture is originated from the real needs of renewing the preschool education system. The essence of the notion «preschool educator’s information culture» has been considered. It has been proved that the information culture of the future educator of a preschool educational institution is a qualitatively new form of the educator’s mental activity organization based on the use of information tools, which allows improving professional activities in preschool educational institutions. It has been substantiated that the definition of the «information culture» is multidimensional and diverse and is considered as a special type, as a subsystem of the preschool educator’s professional culture. The structure of the educator’s information culture is a synthesis of structural components (cognitive, axiological, behavioural) ensuring in their interaction the integrity and functioning of this type of culture. The necessity to develop the designated culture has been scientifically grounded and the formation peculiarities of the future preschool educators’ information culture have been revealed. The methodology aimed at forming future educators’ information culture while studying «Introduction to the specialty and basics of Pedagogy», «Preschool Pedagogy and the History of Preschool Pedagogy», «New information technologies in Preschool Education», «Computer technologies used in the work with children», professional methods, the bachelor curriculum in the specialty 012 Pre-school education has been proposed. The proficiency indicators of the educator’s information culture have been determined. The proficiency (development) levels of the future educators’ information culture have been specified: sufficient, intermediate, low. The tools and methods for diagnosing the proficiency levels of the future preschool educators’ information culture have been proposed. The results of diagnosing the proficiency levels of the future preschool educators’ information culture have been presented. The analysis of the experimental work shows the effectiveness of the developed methodology aimed at the formation of the future educators’ information culture according to all the selected components.

Abstract:
As journalism educators prepare their students to succeed professionally, whether professional journalists and educators see eye-to-eye on emerging trends that influence current journalism practice is worth examining. A national online survey of journalism professionals and educators found that professionals use blogs significantly more than educators. Educators had similar views of blogs, but professional journalists' uses and perceptions of blogs varied depending on type of organization they worked for and occupational position in their news organizations. Educators are quick to catch on to national trends in journalism even though they do not routinely use blogs, as they are trained to assess the impact of critical trends in the discipline.

Abstract:
Public universities educators were probed to describe and share their notions, and personal viewpoints, on KemahiranInsaniah (KI) (softs kills) competencies within their profession, as part of the professional socialization of Public Universities (PUs) students towards becoming professionally and sociallycompetent human resources at their workplace. In-depth interviews were used as means of gathering qualitative data, which was fully transcribed and then thematically analyzed.This paper highlights the opinions of one very experienced PU educator on the notions and viewpoints pertaining to KI and PU educators, who insinuated that it is important for PU educators to embrace the notions of KI as also encompassing the aspects of thinking, ethics, personality, spirituality, scientific, intellectual, creativity, religiosity, rationalization, professionalism, humanity, truthfulness, skillfulness, wisdom and truthfulness. Embedding these elements within their teaching context is assumed as one of the possible ways of inculcating and cultivating soft skills among PU students. The results of the study provided significant insights into the notions and views of an experienced educator with regards to KI. The proposed elements that had emerged could contribute to the construction of a KI Reference Framework for educators to refer, adapt and adopt throughout their endeavour to educate and cultivate humane human resources, who possess substantial soft skills, at their upcoming workplace.

Abstract:
Pedagogical supervision is a meta-reflective tool thanks to which professional educators can experience the generative potential of reflection, dialogue with colleagues and comparison between knowledge acquired on the field, theories founding their praxis and intervention strategies developed in relation to different subjects, contexts and institutional partners. It is a vocational tool where thought and learning about educators’ professional identity and role, analyzed by focusing on premises, practices and praxis, looking for coherence between planning actions and intervention methodologies. It is a fundamental tool in broadening educators’ professional culture, even though it is hardly recognized as essential and indispensable. The present study starts from the belief that educators’ professionalism has to be thought and must make use of tools able to activate and oversee reflective and dialogical processes of (self-)evaluation and practical transformation, leading to the development of theories. Pedagogically centered reflection shared within work teams, services and organizations enables educators to review their praxis in terms of intentional aims and educational projects; but, above all, it makes them able to conceptualize knowledge acquired on the field and strengthen their own professional identity. The scanty production of thought around pedagogical supervision is an indication of its complexity, as well as the pedagogue’s difficulty in recognizing and being recognized as "the" depositary of knowledge about education as a profession. This in turn leads to the consequent risk of delegating the task of expanding the interpretative framework in which educational events are included to professionals from different disciplines, thus losing sight of the specific pedagogical point of view and aims. This study takes part in an open pedagogical debate, useful for increasing knowledge, but especially focusing on the significance and recognition of pedagogical supervision as a practice for supporting and enhancing educational professionalism, since it is an essential tool for the development of educators’ professional culture. Supervision, first of all, has been observed as an object to clarify both on the level of praxis and meanings, making a methodological mixture between phenomenological approach and grounded theory. The research was carried out, therefore, keeping the plan of theorization and the plan of praxis in constant and recursive dialogue: literature analysis and comparison with subjects making use of supervision as a professional tool were carried out simultaneously, through frequent references and stimuli to further reflection and investigation. Literature has provided information concerning the functions and the possible structures by which the supervision process can be accomplished; in order to extract from practices the multiplicity of contents, methodologies and reflections circulating within socio-educational services, a series of interviews were carried out with people variously involved in the supervision process: educators, representatives of organizations, professional supervisors. Therefore, supervision was enriched with elements of concreteness taken from narrations of current experiences, that have further defined it as a dynamic process, modulated according to needs and functions defined by work teams, starting from the formulation of questions on meaning and from the negotiation of objectives and contents. Supervision is not focused on practical problems, although it produces significant effects on the praxis through the implementation of reflective processes that increase educators’ levels of awareness and professionalism. It is a support tool in the process of constructing a professional identity and role, transversal to different areas and contexts of intervention. The professional figure of supervisor appears crucial, not only because his/her conceptual frameworks direct the focus of attention on education processes, but also because his/her methods of constructing the setting and management of working groups determine the course and the effectiveness of the supervision process. He/she has to show complete mastery in specific knowledge and transversal skills for whose acquisition, currently, he/she has assumed autonomous responsibility of self-training. However, a second level learning and training course (for which a structure hypothesis has been formulated) as well as a professional lifelong learning process are highly desirable. Within socio-educational services, multiple meta-reflective experiences related to learning, counseling, coordination and research processes are performed; a comparison with supervision has been made, offering some thoughtful insights about potentially confusing overlapping areas. Finally, in order to complete the attempt of analysis and recomposition of complexity, supervision has been replaced within the composite picture of places of reflection on educators’ professionalism, alongside team meetings, communities of practice and meaningful informality of daily comparison with colleagues and clients, as well as the need for self-reflective processes. These are thoughtful places in which educators can gain multiple skills and knowledge, broadening their professional culture.

Abstract:
The post 1994 educational reforms in South Africa brought about a new thinking in the basic education system. The Curriculum 2005 introduces General Education and Training (GET) band comprising of Grades R-9 and Further Education and Training (FET) comprising of Grades 10-12. These changes necessitates that greater energy and investment be made in the development of appropriate programmes for professional development of educators at both pre-service and in-service levels in order to increase educator reorientation and competency in educating learners in the new education system. The purpose of the study is to determine the impact of educator professional development programmes (pre- and in-service) on Grade 10 Life Orientation educators with regard to the implementation of the National Curriculum Statement (NCS) in the Francis Baard District. The study also aims to determine barriers encountered in the implementation of in-service professional development programmes for Grade 10 Life Orientation educators. The study consists of a literature review concerning the National Curriculum Statement and professional in-service training programmes. A quantitative approach was followed to collect the relevant data. Grade 10 Life Orientation educators in the Francis Baard District form the population of this study. Two distinct conclusions are drawn from the findings of the study, namely; • Educators professional programmes (pre- and in-service) had very little impact on the knowledge, skills and abilities of Grade 10 Life Orientation educators for the implementation of the National Curriculum Statement (NCS) in the Francis Baard District. • Pre- and in- service educator professional development programmes attended by Grade 10 Life Orientation educators did not substantially improve their capabilities mentioned above to implement the National Curriculum Statement. Four categories of recommendations are suggested, namely: • The responsibility of the Department of Education towards the professional in-service training programmes. • The teacher training institutions' responsibility towards the Life Orientation teachers. • The formation of support groups in the different regions in the Francis Baard District. • Further research should be conducted to improve successful implementation of educator professional development programmes ( pre- and in-service) on Grade 10 Life Orientation educators.

The primary objectives of this thesis is to discuss possible scenarios as to why educators are not collaborating, explore characteristics and implementations of collaboration with three specific groups including colleagues, stakeholders, and practicing professionals, and identify four key benefits of collaboration which include improved health, pedagogy, autonomy, and time. Evidence supports the idea that teachers who work in isolation can hinder growth within their profession. Additional evidence provides conclusive evidence that supports the benefits of collaboration by adding responsibilities to key contributors by holding them accountable for student learning.

Full text
Abstract:
The philosophy of pharmaceutical care, which defines a patient-centred approach to practice, has been embraced and upheld by national and international pharmaceutical organisations for two decades. However, pharmacists have been slow to change their practice and implement a pharmaceutical care approach. It has been suggested that amongst other factors, short-comings in pharmaceutical education have contributed to this reluctance of the profession to transform practice. Efforts to address these short-comings in pharmaceutical education have focused on the curriculum and pedagogic practices, and not on the pharmacy educators themselves. Palmer (1998) asserts that “good teaching cannot be reduced to technique; good teaching comes from the identity and integrity of the teacher”. In essence, "we teach who we are" and good teachers have one common trait: “a strong sense of personal identity that infuses their work”. This study identified, described and analysed the self-perceived professional identities of pharmacy educators within the South African context. This included ascertaining factors and contexts which contributed to participants’ self-perception of their professional identity. In an effort to understand the influence the educators have on practice and on changing practice and vice-versa, the attitudes, beliefs and behaviours of participants regarding the philosophy and practice of pharmaceutical care, and pharmaceutical education were also explored. Situated within a constructivist-interpretive, qualitative paradigm and making use of methodological triangulation, this study was conducted in three phases, each employing a different qualitative method to collect data. The first phase made use of narrative analysis to gain an in-depth understanding of pharmacy educators’ perceived professional identities and to explore how their experiences, across various contexts, have formed their professional identities. In-depth individual narrative interviews were used to provide a forum in which the participants could reflect upon and tell their professional life-story. This phase of the study also made use of the exploration of metaphors to further investigate the participants’ professional identity and, more particularly, their images of themselves as “teacher” and role model for students. A maximum variation, purposeful sampling approach was used to recruit eight pharmacy academics - one from each school or faculty of pharmacy in South Africa, as participants in this phase of the study. The second and third phases explored more widely, the insights gained from the first phase and the formation of professional identity, attitudes, beliefs and practices of pharmacy educators in South Africa. Two focus groups were employed during the second phase and the study sample was broadened to include a further ten pharmacy educators. In the third phase, a purpose-designed, qualitative questionnaire was used to extend the study sample to all pharmacy educators in South Africa. A convenience sampling approach was used in both the second and third phases of the study. Thematic analysis and interpretation of the narrative interview and focus group transcripts and the questionnaire responses were conducted using qualitative data analysis software – Atlas.ti®. A multiplicity of self-perceived professional identities was described. However, all of these were multi-faceted and could be situated on a continuum between pharmacist identity on one end and academic identity on the other. In addition, six key determinants were recognised as underpinning the participants’ self-perception of their professional identity. These included three structural determinants: expected role; knowledge base; and practice, and three determinants relating to the emotional dimensions and agency of professional identity: professional status; passions; and satisfiers. The professional identity of the participants had been formed through membership of multiple pharmacy-related communities of practice and continued to be sustained through a nexus of multi-membership. There was extensive support by the participants for the concept of pharmaceutical care; however, it did not impact extensively on their role as pharmacy educators. Furthermore, many expressed concern around the use of the term ‘pharmaceutical care’: its definition; its lack of penetration into, and implementation within the practice environment; and even its relevance to the South African healthcare context. Many of the participants perceived the professional development of future pharmacists to be integral to their role as educators, and was often their source of greatest professional satisfaction. However, concern was also expressed at the dissonance that students were perceived to experience, sometimes, because of the incongruities that they are taught and what they experience in practice. This study has afforded pharmacy educators in South Africa an opportunity to understand better “who” they are as professionals, and to reflect on their role as educators and as role models for future pharmacist. Moreover, the findings contribute to a collective understanding of the professional identity of pharmacy educators and socialisation of pharmacy students into the profession. The insights and recommendations emerging from the study have the potential to make academic pharmacy a more attractive career choice which may have positive implications for the future attraction and retention of pharmacists to academic posts within universities.

Abstract:

Educators in a low socioeconomic urban school district have been concerned with the quality of professional development (PD) training provided by the district. This issue affects students, parents, and teachers. Guided by the educational philosophy of inquiry and community, which hold that empowering teachers with validated PD could improve teacher pedagogy and perhaps academic outcomes, this project study examined (a) what benefits a standardized professional development content validation program for the 21st century can provide and, (b) what standardized professional development content validation for the 21st century looks like. A sequential exploratory mixed-methods design was used on a purposive sample of 8 teachers, who participated in semistructured, open-ended interviews. A quantitative questionnaire collected perceptions of teachers at the school. Interview data were analyzed via an inductive analysis approach, and survey data were analyzed via descriptive statistics. The findings of this sequential mixed methods research revealed that the content of PD activities often lacked structured validation for teachers to master important skills in their content area, new skills were undiscovered, and their pedagogy was underdeveloped. The outcome was a 3-day workshop designed to provide PD content validation for educators in 1 district in Washington State. Positive social change implications include teachers who can engage students in an informed, confident, professional manner, and increased teacher satisfaction at the research site as well as in other rural schools. Implementing this workshop will provide useful knowledge for policymakers, educators, and other researchers who are looking for a clearer definition of PD content for the 21st century.

Full text
Abstract:
Professionals in the information technology field are bombarded with an incessant stream of innovations in hardware and software as well as practices, methods, and techniques. IT educators are among the first targets in the market and must decide if and when to adopt these innovations in their instruction of students and professional endeavors. The risks are not small: educators must weigh the impact on budgets, time management schedules, instructional strategies, and student recompense. Some educators lag behind in adopting IT innovations and find that they have become pawns in the change process, vainly resisting the inevitable, while those on the front end of the adoption curve have eagerly embraced their role as change agents. This paper examines various factors that influence IT adoption among IT educators. More specifically, it presents ten reasons why educators should adopt, as soon as feasible, applicable IT innovations introduced into the marketplace.

Full text
Abstract:
Aim/Purpose: The purpose of this pilot case study is to provide details on developing a framework for e-mentoring graduate level online health education students as an added component of an online health education course. Background: E-mentoring gives faculty the opportunity to share professional knowledge with students and impart practical experiences. In addition, faculty can show how the course content is teaching skills applicable to student’s personal and professional goals. There is an abundance of research and professional literature that includes mentoring of graduate students, but this literature base has not shown a development in a theory and models used in e-mentoring. As yet, however, literature dealing with e-mentoring the future health educator is scarce or nonexistent even though technology such as mobile apps, email, listservs, chat groups and conferencing could enhance the e-mentoring process. Methodology: The framework is described in the context of a curriculum development and a program planning model. Following the steps designed in this framework, mentees are guided through a course that begins with setting goals and ends with an evaluation process. The steps are similar to what health educator’s use in the program planning process, which is also a component of building a community program. The model uses both psychosocial variables that help build identity and coaching functions as a guide and to obtain measurements. Contribution: The study ends with a mix of evaluations that include the formative and sum-mative evaluations. A formative evaluation is conducted throughout the pro-cess. A summative evaluation will be conducted at the end to gain feedback. For the summative evaluation, constructs from the mentoring scale will be used. Findings: This case study was prepared to serve as a basis for discussion rather than to illustrate either effective or ineffective e-mentoring process for health educators.

Full text
Abstract:
With higher education facing budget cuts and declining enrollment, instructor effectiveness continues to be crucial, particularly in a state of increasing workloads with restricted resources. However, the dilemma of how to develop effective instructional skills while still maintaining a research agenda stems from a larger contradiction within professional disciplines; teaching is essential to the profession but holds a devalued position compared to research. It is not enough for educator to recognize that teaching and research are mutually reinforcing, universities must also recognize and support this reality. Understanding that we must learn to be good instructors, even as teaching is devalued, led our School of Professions to reflect on how we can develop strategies for becoming effective educators while still fulfilling our research (and service) agenda. With the Master Educator (MEP) program, our school is developing internal talent via instructional coaching between our School of Education (SOE) and our School of Professions (SOP). Research indicates that traditional forms of professional development are not effective. In turn, research on instructional coaching in K-12 setting has indicated a much higher implementation rate than traditional approaches to professional development; however, to our knowledge, there have been no attempt at implementing instructional coaching at the university level. The MEP is the first program to implement this practice at the university level.

Abstract:
Since changes to the reading/language arts State Subject Area Test (SSAT) in late 2010, elementary education teacher candidates at a teacher training college in the Southern United States have experienced declining scores resulting in test failure and delaying student teaching and graduation. The purpose of this case study was to identify factors that students and faculty perceived as most beneficial in preparing students to pass the SSAT. Constructivism served as the conceptual framework for this study addressing the effects of collaboration, hands-on learning, and application of knowledge. Purposeful sampling was used to recruit 6 elementary education students who had taken the SSAT and 4 full-time reading and language arts faculty members who participated in semistructured interviews. Analysis of coded data indicated themes of preference for experiential learning, intensive strategy instruction, and a review of tested content. Based on study findings, a 3-day professional development training was created to provide students a review of tested subject matter through embedded strategy instruction and opportunities for hands-on application of learning.

Full text
Abstract:
In the face of a worldwide pandemic, educators rose to the challenge of engaging students and families remotely to not only continue learning but also to provide as much normalcy as possible at a time of chaos and uncertainty. Many educators were looking for quick, meaningful ways to learn new skills to effectively teach remotely and connect with learners from afar. The Edcamp Community by Digital Promise saw this as an opportunity to further demonstrate how the Edcamp model of professional learning paired with learning sciences research could quickly meet the needs of educators and create spaces for shared learning and networking. The Edcamp team created the Edcamp: Design for Learning (DfL) series. Supported by the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative and in partnership with Transcend, a national nonprofit organization focused on innovation in school design, we refined our model for online Edcamps to emphasize bringing together learning sciences expertise within Digital Promise and educator context and pedagogy expertise from the Edcamp Community to co-design a series of four online Edcamps. This report shares the key lessons learned from that series.

Abstract:
The UFERN Framework Professional Learning Community project was funded as a supplement to the existing NSF-funded Undergraduate Field Experiences Research Network (UFERN), which sought to build a vibrant, supportive, and sustainable collaborative network that fostered effective undergraduate field experiences. The goals of the UFERN Framework Professional Learning Community (PLC) supplement were: • To support a small group of field educators in intentional design, implementation and assessment of student-centered undergraduate field experiences in a range of field learning contexts; • To develop effective strategies for supporting undergraduate field educators in using the UFERN Framework as an aid for designing, implementing, and assessing student-centered undergraduate field experience programs; • To assemble vignettes featuring applications of the UFERN Framework in a range of program contexts; and • To expand the community of field educators interested in designing, implementing, and assessing student-centered undergraduate field learning experiences. Sixteen educators participated in the PLC, which targeted participants who taught and facilitated a range of undergraduate field experiences (UFEs) that varied in terms of setting, timing, focus and student population. Due to the COVID pandemic, the originally-planned three-month intensive training took place over nine months (January to October 2021). It consisted of seven video conference sessions (via Zoom) with presentations and homework assignments. It included independent work, as well as guided group discussions with project leaders and other participants, which were supported by online collaborative tools.

Full text
Abstract:
This report details the findings of an Ontario-wide survey of 1194 school educators which is part of a larger study funded by funded by the Social Sciences Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC). The survey was developed in consultation with trans educators, school board officials, and community members and included a mix of qualitative and quantitative questions. The report is structured according to educators’ responses to questions about trans-inclusive policies, self-rated knowledge, and understanding of trans inclusion and gender diversity, training received, use of resources and the barriers to fostering gender diversity in schools. Educators’ recommendations and advice on improving education about trans inclusivity in schools are also reported. Key findings revealed that there continue to be systemic and structural impediments to supporting trans inclusion and gender diversity in schools, in terms of both the failure to enact policy and to provide adequate support, education, and resourcing for educators. Recommendations are outlined which relate to the need for further development of policies that identify the allocation of resources for both professional development and curriculum development as central to the necessary provision of support for trans students and creating gender-affirming schools. The report also stipulates the necessity for sustained accountability measures to be established by governing bodies, such as the Ontario Ministry of Education, for supporting gender diversity and trans inclusion with the explicit objective of supporting school boards fiscally in the provision of professional development and development of resources. Teacher Education faculties also need to be committed to ensuring that teacher candidates are provided with the knowledge and understanding of trans inclusion and what trans affirmative education entails.

Full text
Abstract:
Technology is becoming more integral across professional fields and within our daily lives, especially since the onset of the pandemic. As such, opportunities to learn computational thinking are important to all students—not only the ones who will eventually study computer science or enter the information technology industry. However, large inequalities continue to exist in access to equipment and learning opportunities needed to build computational thinking skills for students that experience marginalization. We call all educators to integrate computational thinking into disciplinary learning across PreK-12 education, while centering inclusivity, to equip students with the skills they need to participate in our increasingly technological world and promote justice for students and society at large. This report issues two calls to action for educators to design inclusive computing learning opportunities for students: (1) integrate computational thinking into disciplinary learning, and (2) build capacity for computational thinking with shared leadership and professional learning. Inspired by the frameworks, strategies, and examples of inclusive computational thinking integration, readers can take away practical implications to reach learners in their contexts.

Full text
Abstract:
A new participatory research model, Research-Practice-Industry Partnerships (RPIP), presents a unique value proposition. Design processes have typically placed professional designers, not the end users, at the center of the work. RPIPs create an intentional feedback loop that transforms the knowledge, action, or goals of all involved parties (Baker et al., 2022). RPIP aims to create better designs for scalable technologies that both meet the needs of educators and incorporate research from the learning sciences. This yields a product more likely to be used, used appropriately, and have the desired impact for learners. Digital Promise partnered with edtech startup Merlyn Mind and the University of California, Irvine (UCI) in an RPIP. This white paper describes our engagement and suggests that this model can yield positive impacts and new learning for all participants. Surveys and interviews with participants showed that engagement was mutually valued among all parties, practitioners learned more about AI and edtech in general, and Merlyn Mind staff learned more about working with schools and educators. Practitioners also benefited from the networking and collaboration that participation in the RPIP brought and felt it helped them grow professionally.

Full text
Abstract:
The Sophia Program is a one year professional learning program established by Sydney Catholic Schools in collaboration with the University of Melbourne. The professional learning program is unique, in that it not only involves the acquisition of knowledge and theory of school learning environments but also action-oriented evidence-based research within a professional learning community where groups of educators work collaboratively at the school- and system-level to improve student outcomes. Thirty five participants from six Sydney Catholic Schools participated in the 2022 program. This report provides a summary of aggregated findings around teacher efficacy, teacher mind frames, student learning and student engagement, perceptions of students on the prototype learning environments and furniture, as well as overall evaluation of the program by participants in the inaugural cohort. Lessons learnt from the Sophia Program have found seven important characteristics of effective professional learning. In summary, effective professional learning is one that is: ● contextualised, i.e. aligned with school goals, priorities and values, and addresses the learning needs of staff and students. ● includes the engagement of a strong leader with a committed group of educators. ● is longer in duration, reinforced over a longer period of time. ● includes establishing a prototype that enables educators and students to test and evaluate both design and pedagogy. ● includes multiple forms of active learning. ● includes forms of action research that enable evidence-based improvements. ● can be delivered virtually and face-to-face. In essence, the world-first Sophia program illustrates what a high-quality professional learning could look like—one that is ongoing, connected to both content knowledge and teacher practice, incorporates active learning and research-based practices, and encourages networking, collaboration, mentoring and time for practice, feedback, and reflection. The report concludes with directions for future practice that provides important school- and system-level implications.
