Schoolchildren’s natural science competence development is inseparable from teachers’ natural science competence, the integral part of which are subject, didactic and managerial abilities. Competence (es) acquisition during the studies at university is not a final process. Competence improvement, enrichment continues during the whole period of active pedagogical work. In the months of January-February 2018, a qualitative, limited amount research was carried out. 60 primary school teachers from more than 25 Lithuanian schools participated in the research. Research data were analysed using a content analysis method. Research results revealed that most primary school teachers value their knowledge in natural science field as sufficient. Teachers accentuate that their competences are proper and emphasize their lifelike and long work experience importance. Part of the teachers accentuate constant natural science education subject knowledge renewal. Only a small part of teachers notice that they lack knowledge in natural science field. Research result analysis showed that most of primary school teachers develop natural science competence independently using various information sources. A big part of teachers develop natural science competence participating in formal specially organised activities. Not a small part of teachers accentuate practical natural science competence development. Research results revealed that most primary school teachers give average evaluation to their competence in teaching natural science (world cognition). Only a small part of teachers attribute a high value to this competence of theirs. Research result analysis showed that primary school teachers teaching students natural sciences (world cognition), encounter various problems. The bigger part of teachers experience problems, related to the teaching process: lack of devices, low students’ teaching motivation, teaching content shortcomings. A big part of teachers teaching natural science subjects (world cognition) experience social – organisational problems: a lack of time, unfavourable conditions, a lack of support. Teacher opinion analysis of what needs to be changed /improved in natural science primary school teacher training/preparation revealed that the biggest part of teachers offer to improve future teachers’ practical abilities/skills. Part of teachers offer to better develop special competences, related to natural science education, to improve material supply of the study process. Keywords: content analysis, primary school, science education, subject knowledge.

The analysis of training a future primary school teacher for the formation of environmental culture of primary school children revealed certain drawbacks: in the professional training of students of higher educational establishments, namely to theory and methods of ecological education studying is paid little attention; among the forms of organization of the educational process are dominated traditional ones (lectures and practical classes) of a reproductive nature; the potential of ecology as an integrated science has not been used; the resource of psychological and pedagogical subjects for environmental training of primary school teachers is not fully involved. All this creates a significant gap between the achievements of science and practice of environmental education in the direction of preparing future primary school teachers for the formation of environmental culture of primary school children. The article is devoted to the search for effective pedagogical conditions for training future primary school teachers for the formation of ecological culture of pupils.
The literature on this problem is analyzed, which allows us to conclude that the opinions of scientists are marked by a contradiction about what conditions should be created to ensure the greatest efficiency of the educational process. In general, they determine the pedagogical conditions depending on the direction of their research, in particular: environmental training of future teachers; environmental training of future primary school teachers; formation of the teacher's readiness to intensify the educational process in primary school; development of ecological culture (pupils, future teachers); formation of pupils' caring attitude to nature, a sense of responsibility of pupils. We attach the following meaning to the essence of the concept «pedagogical conditions of preparation of the future primary school teacher for formation of ecological culture of pupils»: it is purposeful and objective possibilities of educational process and the factors and circumstances providing the corresponding process in unity of traditional and innovative approaches. The following pedagogical condition is defined: the organization of the educational process by means of interrelation of theoretical and practical training on the basis of introduction of new educational technologies.

At the present stage of the development of Kazakhstani higher education in the context of the transition to the updated content of education, the problem of future primary school teachers’ professional training is relevant. It is not enough to identify the problems in the training of future specialists in the field of primary education in order to list the competencies that a graduate should master. It is reasonable to consider the model of the predicted result as a system of interrelated components. In this regard, this study aims to identify and substantiate the structural components of the professional competence of primary school teachers. The main methods of studying this problem are comparative and model methods, which allow to to take account of various research approaches for understanding the structure of teachers’ professional competence. The results of the study indicate the process of developing analytical, diagnostic, and prognostic professional actions make up the structure of the professional competence of an elementary school teacher, other important characteristics of the teachers’ professional development, such as communicative, are also being successfully improved, which also confirms the integrative basis of the structure of professional competence.

This paper describes a training proposal for future teachers in the design, management, and use of school gardens as an educational resource. During the 2020/2021 academic year, future teachers in the 4th grade of Primary Education (last year of the University Degree) received theoretical-practical classes to develop teaching-learning activities in the area of Sciences that they implemented in a Primary school. This training proposal and the research activities designed and implemented in the school garden by future teachers were analysed using three criteria: curricular contents covered, competency richness and structure and content. From the training programme implemented, we highlight an increase in the motivation of students towards learning to use this resource; because it is learned “in situ” in the school garden, it is possible to carry out outdoor work, sharing natural resources through cooperative work and improving relationships. Regarding the design of activities proposed by the future teachers, there is a predominance of the use of observation and classification processes and a deficit of other scientific competences, which implies the need for greater specific initial training on school gardens.

The study addresses to the modern praxeological approach of professional training of future primary school teachers on the research results application of modern neuroscience. The essence of praxeology as a science and praxeological approach in pedagogical activity is considered. The expediency of praxeological orientation during the professional training of future primary school teachers is substantiated. Theoretical bases of neurosciences studies in the system of pedagogical education and neuropedagogy formation are also considered. Based on the neuromyths spread, the problem of obtaining neuroscientific knowledge by future teachers in the context of praxeological orientation is actualized, which will significantly help to orient the latter to effective and efficient professional activity. The key structural components of the author’s model of primary school teacher’s training using a praxeological approach in the context of modern neuroscience are proposed and described in the study. The key theoretical provisions of the motivational and target component, organizational and procedural, semantic, operational and technological, diagnostic and effective components of the specified model are generalized. The theoretical provisions of modern neuroscience are detailed, which are the basis of the semantic component of the model. The purpose and tasks of the author’s course “Modern neuroscience in the education system” are determined, which is the basis of the content component of the model of training future primary school teachers. Perspective directions of future scientific studies are outlined - research of biological and neural feedback in educational activity.

Introduction. Pedagogical universities are faced with the task of traininga teacher of a new genera-tion, ready for the development of a competent student, his or her talents, individual characteristics, and creative potential, which determines the change in the content of teacher education and its implementation. In particular, the problem of a future teacher’s training who is able to independently choose the content of education, design and integrate educational material, create educational projects, use effective educational technologies, design and manage the educational process is becoming rele-vant. The рurpose is to highlight the problems of a future primary school teacher’s training in accordance with the challenges of our time, in particular, integrated teaching that is based on humane and constructive interaction. The methodsof research – problematic, logical and comparative analysis of scientific and pedagogical litera-ture, scientific works of domestic researchers, comparison and generalization of the methodological foundations of psychological and pedagogical literature. Results. In modern conditions, integrated learning has become important, which corresponds to the individual characteristics of children, the development of their abili-ties and talents, based on an integrated approach. In the history of formation and development of the national education system there is considerable experience in the implementation of integrated education. The essence of the integrated approach is, in particular, to create inte-grated courses – subjects that adapt to the study and integrate knowledge of several sciences or kinds of arts; introduction of thematic days, which unite blocks of knowledge in different subjects, topics around one prob-lem in order to enrich the information and emotional per-ception, thinking, feelings of the student. Originality. The scientific novelty of the research re-sults is that for the first time a comparative analysis of the problems of implementation of integrated learning and the readiness of future primary school teachers for its implementation. Conclusions and specific suggestions of the author. In the present-day challenges, the problem of the readiness of future primary education teachers for integrated learn-ing on the basis of humane and constructive dialogue interaction, who is capable of working on the principles of partnership pedagogy, is becoming relevant. That is why in the process of future primary school teachers training for professional activity, higher education institutions must ensure their ability to: acquire, replenish and expand their knowledge about the peculiarities of pedagogical activities in primary school; to analyze the experience and educational practice of primary school in the most developed countries of the world; select an educational material in order to form inter-est in learning children; select and combine optimal forms, methods and means to achieve the goal in the educational process of primary school; provide and evaluate the consequences of the im-plementation of modern pedagogical teaching technolo-gies; be able to manage the educational process in order to prevent learning difficulties and conflict situations, stimulate students’ educational activities.

The current innovations in the system of education demand the high level of readiness, abilities to changes, rapid adjustment, and adaptation to new educational conditions. The article reveals and analyzes basic pedagogical conditions of the primary school teachers’ training for the development of students’ creative potential. It was found out that the basic pedagogical conditions of the primary school teachers’ training for the development of students’ creative potential are providing motivation for teachers to develop students’ creative potential; purposeful filling of the content of primary school teachers' training with a creative component in order to improve professional teachers’ competence about the development of students’ creative potential; organization of educational and methodological support for teachers. The article proves that the structure of readiness of future primary school teachers to the development of students’ creative potential consists of components that are closely related, criteria and factors that make dynamic integrity and have level characteristics. The structure of readiness of future primary school teachers to the development of students’ creative potential includes motivational, procedural and resulting components. Substantiated by the author tools for evaluation of readiness of future primary school teachers to the development of students’ creative potential made it possible to understand the content and the relationship among the criteria (motivational and value, activity and creative, professional and evaluation), relevant indicators of the specified readiness (the formation of the teacher's internal motives for professional development and value orientations; the degree of creative solution of educational tasks and creative approach to pedagogical activity with primary school students; professional readiness for pedagogical activity and readiness for professional self-development). The result of the primary school teachers’ training is readiness for the development of primary school students’ creative potential, the specifics of which are the motivation of future teachers to master the professional knowledge, skills and abilities to develop students' creative potential, mastering the necessary creative abilities and a high level of professional competence.

This study aims at creating an understanding of how teachers in Gambian primary schools, who have participated in Future in our hands in-service training, experience their motivation to teach. Three research question were defined to help us examining our purpose further; “Is motivation to teach a problem among Gambian teachers?”, “which factors are most important in order to create a motivational workplace?” and “which factors do the Gambian teachers experience to demotivate them in their work?“. A presentation on previous research in the field is given, which points out that motivation is a problem among many teachers in developing countries and that intrinsic as well extrinsic factors affects the motivation in both positive and negative ways. Twelve semi-structured interviews were conducted throughout The Gambia focusing on the respondents’ experiences about their motivation to teach. The collected material was analysed using Herzberg’s motivation-hygiene theory. The results showed that salary, interpersonal relations, lack of materials and facilities, possibilities for growth and promotion as well as workload were factors frequently mentioned in terms of creating motivation as well as demotivation to teach.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores the relationship between a teacher's understanding of the nature of science and her practice. The idea that teachers' understanding of the nature of science is a powerful determinant of their actions in the classroom has a strong intuitive appeal. Research over the last forty years has provided inconclusive results; however, there is a clear implication within recent central policy on teacher education that such knowledge should translated directly into practice. This has led to the identification within teacher training, materials of specific expectations regarding understanding of the nature of science (DfEE 1998a). This thesis presents four case studies of the science teaching of primary teachers. The studies derive from data collected over the course of a year and analyse evidence of the teachers' ideas, both tacit and espoused, about the nature of science against their practice in the classroom. The research employed a methodology unlike other studies in the field. Primary teachers frequently lack experience of reflection on the philosophy of science, and their actions may convey tacit ideas different from those they espouse. In order to ensure that, a mechanism existed to facilitate elicitation of the teachers' philosophical understanding, to render possible the identification of any tacit ideas and to enable the inherent dialectical nature of theory and action within practice to be accommodated, the participating teachers were encouraged to engage in action research on their own practice. Data generated by this personal inquiry then served as evidence for the main research questions. This methodology yields results which are closely derived from the everyday reality of teachers' practice. The findings indicate that teachers' understanding of the nature of science does not translate directly into predictable approaches to science teaching. Teachers' understanding of the nature of science is seen to be mediated strongly by their pedagogical beliefs and aims and it is these beliefs that assume overriding importance in the derivation of science practice. These findings extend previous research results. They suggest that the development of science practice will need to have regard for factors other than mere extension of knowledge, raising implications for both preservice and inservice teacher education.

Thesis (PhD)--Stellenbosch University, 2015ENGLISH ABSTRACT: An analysis of a teacher development programme known as the Cluster Project is central to this research. Study of the form, processes and outcomes of the project model draws attention to teacher professional development (TPD) as a critical strategy for improving science education in primary schools. High quality teaching at the foundational level supports children develop the appropriate level of knowledge that would allow them to take up and succeed at science at higher levels. With the object of strengthening primary science education the Primary Science Programme (PSP) implements a Cluster Project in Western Cape schools. The project model offers training workshops, classroom guidance and essential resources to support teachers develop both their knowledge and teaching competencies to teach science well. Training workshops are designed to build teachers’ understanding of critical science concepts, improve science content knowledge, and offers guidance with curriculum implementation and assessment of learning. In-classroom support and team-teaching, supported with teaching and learning materials and other resources, assists with improving teaching practice in context. This interpretive case study analyses the Cluster Project model and its processes within three theoretical frames: activity theory, complexity theory, and a research-developed qualitative framework to trace teacher professional development. Activity theory is applied to the purpose, organization and function of the Cluster Project, while complexity theory probes the meaning and implications of educational change for teachers and TPD. The qualitative framework with its five critical indicators of autonomy, knowledge, practice, and collaboration and continuing development analyses empirical evidence of TPD with respect to six teacher participants. Activity theory draws attention to the use of flexible adaptive teacher professional learning models which can accommodate frequent change to curriculum and context, and further highlights the importance of promoting collaboration and reducing contradictions in order to improve learning outcomes. Complexity theory expands understanding of teacher professional learning through its focus on the critical concepts of pedagogy, holism, learning as a nonlinear process, the unpredictability of teaching and learning, networking and connectedness, change by emergence and self-organization, changing environments, and teacher development programmes as open, complex adaptive systems. This research observed the six teacher participants were able to improve aspects of their teaching of science, thereby achieving a measure of professional development, although this was not a general observation within the Cluster Project teacher population. Research findings show that teachers’ active participation in meaningful practical science experiences promotes teacher learning, improves practical science in the classroom, and encourages the ready take-up of helpful and innovative science teaching ideas and strategies. This research recommends that practical science teaching, integrated with language and mathematics teaching, should form an essential part of education and training programmes for both pre-service and in-service primary and high school science teachers.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die analise van`n onderwyser-ontwikkelingsprogram, bekend as die Groepsondersteunings Projek, is die kern van diè navorsing. Studie van die vorm, prosesse en uitkomste van die projekmodel, vestig die aandag op onderwysers se professionele ontwikkeling as `n kritiese strategie vir die verbetering van wetenskaponderrig in primêre skole. Hoë gehalte onderwys in die grondslagfase, ondersteun die kinders se ontwikkeling op `n geskikte vlak van kennis wat hulle in staat sal stel om wetenskap verder te neem en daarvan `n sukses te maak op senior vlak. Met die doel om wetenskaponderrig te versterk in die primêre skool, implimenteer die Primêre Wetenskap Program (PSP) tans `n Groepsondersteunings Projek in die Wes-Kaapse skole. Die model voorsien opleiding deur slypskole, klaskamerleiding en noodsaaklike leerhulpmiddels om onderwysers se kennis en onderrigvaardigheid, om wetenskap as vak goed te onderrig, te ontwikkel. Opleidingsslypskole fokus daarop om onderwysers se begrip van kritiese wetenskaplike konsepte en opgradering van wetenskapinhoudskennis op te bou en ook om te help om die kurrikulum te implimenteer en kinders se leerwerk te assesseer. Klaskamer ondersteuning en span-onderrig, met die hulp van onderrig-en leerhulpmiddels, help met die verbetering van die onderwyspraktyk in konteks. Diè interpreterende gevallestudie analiseer die Groepondersteunings Projek model en die prosesse binne drie teoretiese raamwerke, die aktiwiteits-teorie, kompleksiteits-teorie en `n stel aanwysers wat ontwikkel is om bewyse van onderwysers se professionele ontwikkeling te ontleed. Die aktiwiteits-teorie is toegepas op die doel, organisering en funksie van die Projek, terwyl die kompleksiteits-teorie die betekenis en implikasies van die opvoedkundige verandering vir onderwysers en onderwysers se professionele ontwikkeling ondersoek. Die stel aanwysers met vyf kritiese fokuspunte: outonomie, kennis, praktyk, samewerking en voortdurende ontwikkeling, lei die analise van ses onderwyser-deelnemers se professionele ontwikkeling. Die aktiwiteits-teorie beklemtoon die belangrikheid van aanpasbare professionele leermodelle wat gereelde verandering aan die konteks en kurrikulum kan akkommodeer, en beklemtoon ook die belangrikheid om samewerking bevorder, teenstrydigheid te verminder en om sodoende die leeruitkomste te versterk. Die kompleksiteits-teorie verbreed die insig van onderwyser se professionele leer deur die fokus te plaas op die kritiese konsepte van pedagogiek; holisme; leer as `n nie-lineêre proses; die onvoorspelbaarheid van onderrig en leer; netwerk en aaneenskakeling; verandering deur die ontstaan en self-organisasie; veranderende omgewings en onderwyser-ontwikkelingsplanne as oop, komplekse aanpasbare stelsels. Diè navorsing het waargeneem dat die ses onderwyser-deelnemers in staat was om aspekte van hul wetenskap-onderrig te verbeter en sodoende was hulle in staat om `n mate van professionele ontwikkeling te behaal alhoewel dit nie `n algemene waarneming binne die Groepsondersteunings Projek se onderwyspopulasie was nie. Navorsingsbevindings dui aan dat onderwysers se aktiewe deelname aan betekenisvolle, praktiese wetenskapondervindings, leer kan bevorder en begrip kan bevorder van `n praktiese implimentering daarvan in die klaskamer en moedig die geredelike opname van nuttige en innoverende leer-idees en strategieë aan. Die navorsing beveel aan dat praktiese wetenskap-onderrig, integreer met tale en wiskunde, `n noodsaaklike deel moet vorm van onderwys-en opleidingsprogramme vir voor-diens en in-diens primêre en hoërskool wetenskaponderwysers.

Mentorship as a tool to develop the pedagogical and content knowledge of inservice
teachers, regardless of experience, is a field in education which has gained
popularity worldwide. The review of literature however, provided evidence that
mentoring in education has primarily focused on the benefits received by novice
teachers and not experienced teachers. Areas addressed in the literature review
include the important role of continuous professional development programmes in
the improvement of the teachers’ classroom practices and by inference, their
learners’ achievements.
The purpose of this study was to explore and describe the experiences and
understandings of seven experienced natural science teachers as mentees in a
professional development programme (the ILLS project). Through the use of a
qualitative case study approach, I examined the activities that supported the
development of the participants as they interacted with the guided support of a
mentor teacher, and aimed to understand how the mentees made sense of their
experiences in this mentoring relationship. The activities included lesson-planning,
classroom observations and reflection meetings and the professional development
support, through mentoring, was embedded on-site and in-context.
This research revealed that the mentee teachers were motivated by the opportunity
to enhance their professional growth through the support of a mentor. The teachers
also perceived that their subject content and pedagogical knowledge were enriched
by participating in the mentoring process.Science and Technology Education

Full textAbstract:
In the climate of poor student achievement and a lack of skilled teachers in natural science and mathematics, the main research question of this study was: How can the professional development of primary school teachers be managed by means of action research? The aim of the study was to develop, implement and evaluate a site-based collaboration programme to promote the professional development of the teachers in these subjects within a home-based or semi home-based teaching context. The theory of situated learning within a community of practice (CoP) was used as conceptual framework.
Purposeful and convenient sampling was implemented to select participants. Five grade 4 teachers, five grade 5 teachers, four grade 6 teachers and eight members of the school management team participated in the three year study. During the planning phase a needs analysis was done. During the action phase, lead teachers were responsible for the planning in one or two subjects. The teachers met once every six school days (about 30 meetings per year), for up to two hours to discuss content and methodological issues, plan assessment strategies, analyse and reflect on results and decide on intervention strategies. The grade 4, 5 and 6 groups completed six, four and two action research cycles respectively, and the school management team six action research cycles of about six months each.
To evaluate the professional development that resulted, data collection was by means of observation, field notes, typed minutes, four focus groups, 12 individual interviews, teachers’ files, a questionnaire and students’ books and achievements. The results indicate that the professional development of primary school teachers could be managed and constantly improved by means of action research. When school managers organise teachers into communities of practice and implement action research cycles, the teachers learn in a context-sensitive way. This learning is characterised by two social stages involving participation in the subject and grade CoP, and an independent stage of personal involvement when teachers internalise knowledge and practices of other teachers. The professional development of the teachers was in the areas of content knowledge, pedagogic content knowledge, assessment literacy and professional attitudes. Student achievement improved.Educational Leadership and Management

AbstractMany researchers and teachers agree that the inclusion of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics in early education provides strong motivation and greatly improves the speed of learning. Most primary school curricula include a number of concepts that cover science and mathematics, but less effort is placed in teaching problem-solving, computer science, technology and robotics. The use of robotic systems and the introduction of robotics as a curriculum subject educates children in the basics of technology, and gives them additional human and organizational values. This paper presents a new program introduced in an Italian primary school, thanks to a collaboration with National Instruments and Università Politecnica delle Marche. Specifically, the project’s curricular aim was to improve logic, creativity, and the ability to focus, all of which are lacking in today’s generation of students. The subject of robotics will be part of the primary school’s curriculum for all five years. The program has delivered training to the teachers, and a complete program in which children have demonstrated great learning abilities, not only in technology, but also in collaboration and teamwork.

AbstractUniversity Camilo José Cela (UCJC) is a private university located in Madrid (Spain) that belongs to the SEK Education Group, an institution with 125 years of tradition and a strong innovation identity. This case study presents the response that UCJC has given to facilitate the adaptation of the educational community (students, families, and teachers) to the situation arising from the pandemic caused by COVID-19. It will explain the coordination actions between students from the School of Education at UCJC and the impact derived from their interventions. Specifically, it will detail students’ participation as teacher assistants in online teaching within the IB pedagogical model to respond to the demands of primary and secondary teachers. This collaboration is the most outstanding due to the number of students and schools involved and the efficacy and efficiency of its implementation.On the other hand, there were other interventions of a smaller scale but a high social impact committed to disadvantaged sectors of the population. For example, our students’ support gave refugee students from Syria reinforcing their training or the psycho-emotional, educational, and legal assistance that volunteers from the bachelor’s degree of law provided to children and families in social exclusion. It is also significant to highlight the UCJC international actions: the teacher training program, EachTeach, provided educational methodologies, resources, and media to refugee teachers at the Kakuma refugee camp (Kenya), helping them to raise awareness about COVID-19, and the Cambodian program dedicated to training volunteers on how to combat the pandemic on these vulnerable contexts, where children live on the streets.Finally, to define broader collaborations and scale these initiatives in the future, this case study will reflect on the reasons for the success achieved, especially in training and pedagogical innovation and in the use of educational technology. The UCJC and SEK Schools collaboration allowed the use of a common technological language, sharing values. The development of training, support, and advice, between the university community (professors and faculty students) and the schools’ community (teachers, students, and families), enabled a wide range of relevant issues to be addressed in dealing with COVID-19 by schools and the broader education community.

Full textAbstract:
Inquiry learning is considered more effective than traditional teacher-led learning. Whilst teachers espouse ideals of inquiry learning, actual implementation and practice remains unclear, requiring further study. Inquiry learning research in primary schools is mostly contained to maths and science. Few studies have investigated how primary school teachers differentiate practice to meet the needs of students with learning difficulties. Even fewer studies have investigated primary school teachers' implementation of Humanities and Social Science (HASS) inquiry learning. This chapter investigates primary school teachers' practices of implementing HASS inquiry learning, including strategies used to support students with learning difficulties, and school based factors impacting the implementation of inquiry learning. One Queensland regional school was identified using a theory-based sampling method. Teachers were recruited using criterion sampling method. Data were collected from semi-structured interviews and demographic questionnaires; and HASS unit plans of three teachers (n=3) were synthesised into three themes: (i) teachers described a sense of professional fulfilment when implementing inquiry learning; (ii) teachers implemented specific strategies including explicit instruction to differentiate learning for students with learning difficulties; and (iii) school-based factors including leadership endorsement impact on successful implementation of inquiry learning in a primary school. Data obtained from the single school and small sample limit generalisability, therefore future research regarding teachers' implementation of HASS inquiry learning is recommended. Identification of strategies that support students with learning difficulties, and the impact of HASS inquiry learning on achievement amongst students with and without learning difficulties, are also recommended.

In the modern world there are more and more requirements, both organizational, methodological and psychological, presented to future primary school teachers. Failure to meet the requirements and expectations of the profession can lead the frustration and abandonment of the teaching profession. To minimize the negative consequences of adaptation to the profession, in many countries there is a supervision as a form of support for both students future teachers, and primary school teachers themselves. In Russia, this area of work is still considered innovative, but it has all the prerequisites for implementation and development.

Primary and secondary schools were hard hit by the war, with a dearth of supplies and trained teachers. Many colleges and universities, vacated by men off to war, would have had to close were it not for the U.S. military training units at the schools. Each institution in the state had some sort of government activity on their campuses, but the preeminent center was the Navy Pre-Fight School at UNC-Chapel Hill, where two future presidents of the United States, George H.

Full textAbstract:
The system of values of the New Ukrainian School (NUS) is designed to adapt Ukraine’s education system to progressive world standards in line with the prospects of sustainable development and lifelong learning while preserving the best traditions of national pedagogy. In the vector of such ambitious plans and positive prospects for qualitative changes in education and other areas of social life, the personality of the NUS teacher becomes central and conceptualized around the problem of forming a worldview culture, which we propose to specify by the definition of “positive worldview culture of the teacher.” At present, there is a clear need for high-quality methodological generalization. Thus, the aim of current study is investigation on the mutual integration of concepts of worldview of primary school teachers, ideological-axiological and practical aspects of NUS and ICT implementation as one of the central methodological lines of the renewed primary school in Ukraine. As a result of the conducted research, the concept of worldview culture of primary school teachers is analyzed, directions and sources of formation of worldview culture of future primary school teachers are determined. The main desirable features of worldview culture of future NUS teachers formed during acquiring professional competences in HEIs are structured, and the potential for forming a worldview culture through ICT is outlined. The conducted work actualizes the conclusion about the need for increased attention to the system of training organization of future NUS teachers to the fundamentally important concept of positive worldview culture. In the organization of work on the formation of the worldview culture of the future primary school teacher by university teachers, the image of a motivated (this is how it is outlined in the NUS Concept) creative and responsible teacher working constantly on his own personal and professional improvement in an atmosphere of partnership between all participants should be targeted. The NUS Concept states that the permeability of ICT is one of the main tools for NUS success. In addition, the manner of implementation of ICT should be transformed from episodic to thoughtful and holistic application, which would cover all types of educational activities. Accordingly, if the worldview culture is both the foundation and generalization of pedagogical development, then ICT is a mechanism that triggers the movement and development of knowledge and skills of teachers, shaping his attitude to the world, professional activity and himself in the context of pedagogical work. Pedagogical process organized on the basis of academic freedom and impartiality is very important. Promising areas of further research on the topic is the organization of empirical research on diagnosis, correctional and modeling influence on the formation of the worldview culture of the future primary school teacher in the conditions of NUS, especially in the paradigm of end-to-end ICT integration.

The ‘catch them young' concept is a good foundation for developing lifelong learning skills that can be used beyond tertiary education. This is one of the ways of ‘making the book pay' in helping to create an informed society that would take part in the implementation of the Africa we want through the Africa Agenda 2063. A survey was undertaken on how libraries are supporting information literacy and research skills of students for a successful transition from primary and secondary to higher education. Twenty school libraries and 15 academic libraries were purposively selected to participate in the study. Telephone interviews were done with school, teachers, and academic librarians to understand the opportunities and challenges that they are encountering in imparting information literacy and research skills to students in preparing them for higher education in the digital era. The results revealed that there are information literacy programs in schools and universities and the modules are delivered by librarians.

In India mathematics is a compulsory subject for the primary, upper primary and secondary classes. In secondary school curriculum among the compulsory subjects MATHEMATICS is the most vital subject and at the same time it is the most difficult one as per the learners’ opinion as well as the parents. So, the subject is neglected by many students and as a consequence Mathematics Phobia is often developed in the students’ mind. There are many more factors which are connected to this growing distaste in learning mathematics like in appropriate curriculum organization, methodology of teaching, teachers’ knowledge, assessment techniques [Das,M.2010] and management of classroom environment. The said problem is not a new one but in present teachers’ training course special attention is given on it. In this paper author will discuss that how the teaching skills and teachers’ professionalism can create a positive environment to motivate students.

In the present research of a qualitative type, we present the results of an experimentation led with 94 pre-service primary teachers from Quebec in Canada. The experimentation, which lasts four months at the rate of three hours per week, took place in two phases. The first phase took place in 4 steps in order to help student teachers to acquire knowledge competency in science and pedagogical knowledge competency, in accordance with the curriculum of the ministry of the education of the government of Quebec. In the second phase, the students had to prepare two teaching sequences centered on laboratory experimentations to the intention of their future pupils of the first, second or third cycle (please note that each cycle lasts for two years). For it, they had to follow an approach similar to the one experienced in the first phase. Finally, they had to complete a questionnaire to specify the difficulties of a scientific or pedagogical nature that they encountered during the conceptions of their teaching sequences. The analysis of the sequences constructed and of the data of the questionnaire shows an effort important on their behalf, in spite of the difficulties they met and that will be presented. Key words: training, pre-service teachers, primary school, knowledge competence, pedagogical knowledge competence.

This preliminary study has been carried out with the objective of knowing the sensitivity and implication of future primary school teachers regarding the 17 Sustainable Development Goals. The questionnaire used was translated from the work of Niklas Gericke et al. (2018), some questions elaborated on the basis of UNESCO's definition of sustainable development, aimed at knowing the awareness that people show towards sustainability. In the proposal of these authors, knowledge, attitudes and environmental, social and economic behavior were measured. In our study, whose representative sample has been 3rd grade students in primary school teacher, of the Jaume I University, the same parameters have been used. The results we found were positive to the extent that we showed that the sample has an acceptable knowledge, as well as an implication and responsibility on the subject. As conclusions, we can highlight the need to include the subject in teacher training, with the aim of improving, not only awareness and responsibility in the climatic situation, but also in people's quality of life, the use of Material resources in addition to promoting educational, social and personal values, as a way of prevention and positive actions connected with the 17 SDGs.

Full textAbstract:
The article substantiates the importance of training future teachers to use AR technologies in the educational process of preschool and primary education. Scientific sources on the problem of AR application in education are analyzed. Possibilities of using AR in work with preschoolers and junior schoolchildren are considered. Aspects of research of the problem of introduction of AR in education carried out by modern foreign and domestic scientists are defined, namely: use of AR-applications in education; introduction of 3D technologies, virtual and augmented reality in the educational process of preschool and primary school; 3D, virtual and augmented reality technologies in higher education; increase of the efficiency of learning and motivating students through the use of AR-applications on smartphones; formation of reading culture by means of augmented reality technology; prospects for the use of augmented reality within the linguistic and literary field of preschool and primary education. The authors analyzed the specifics of toys with AR-applications, interactive alphabets, coloring books, encyclopedias and art books of Ukrainian and foreign writers, which should be used in working with children of preschool and primary school age; the possibilities of books for preschool children created with the help of augmented reality technologies are demonstrated. The relevance of the use of AR for the effective education and development of preschoolers and primary school children is determined. Problems in the application of AR in the educational process of modern domestic preschool education institutions are outlined. A method of diagnostic research of the level and features of readiness of future teachers to use AR in the educational process of preschool and primary education has been developed. Criteria, indicators are defined, the levels of development of the main components of the studied readiness (motivational, cognitive, activity) are characterized. The insufficiency of its formation in future teachers in the field of preschool and primary education; inconsistency between the peculiarities of training future teachers to use AR in professional activities and modern requirements for the quality of the educational process; the need to develop and implement a holistic system of formation of the studied readiness of future teachers in the conditions of higher pedagogical education are proved. A model of forming the readiness of future teachers to use AR in the educational process of preschool and primary education has been developed.
