Educators are one of the occupational groups most at risk of work stress and professional burnout. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to review studies on the triggers and facilitators of burnout syndrome in teachers. Method: an exploratory systematic review was conducted including material in English and Spanish, published between 1992 and 2022. More precisely, 27 empirical works that analyzed triggers of burnout syndrome in teachers were selected. In addition, 5 articles and books that addressed aspects related to the facilitators of the syndrome were included. Then the triggers for professional burnout were systematized and classified according to Peiró's taxonomy (40). Finally, the facilitators were grouped into three specific categories. Results: the burnout triggers were: work environment, work overload, role conflict and role ambiguity, interpersonal relationships, professional career development, use of communication and information technologies and organisational structure. The facilitators reported were: socio-demographic characteristics, personality characteristics and coping style. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper is part of the international EduCovid19 project that seeks to describe teachers' perceptions of the impact of COVID-19 on their practices, as well as those of their students. In this context, this text focuses on making comparisons of teachers' perceptions on different variables and projecting their consequences on their teaching careers. A sample (N=541) of Chilean and Peruvian teachers of all educational levels participated in the study through a virtual structured questionnaire. The results show inequalities in the teaching practices of both countries based on significant differences linked to gender inequality, socioeconomic gaps, and the academic degree of the educators.

Images portraying the teacher and its classroom have played an essential role in the development of educational systems. This paper constitutes a research on the iconographic origin of the representations that were mainly used in Spain between 1876 and 1931. In order to do that european cards from the 16th to the 19th centuries, made using a variety of engraving techniques, that show teachers and pupils, are analyzed. The continuity of some of these characterizations and their Spanish update, identifying the teacher with the traditional Latin dómine, it's revealing. Its presence, both in the satirical press aimed at adults and in illustrated books for children, reflects it. This image directed towards criticism and entertainment has its compensation, also starring teachers and schoolchildren, representing rewards and penalties in children's reading books in that same period of time. Contextual factors allow us to position this variety of pictures -- the development of schooling and its protagonists, the editors' intentions in the media in which they appear -- but they can not compose a sufficient interpretation without paying attention to the role of the illustrator. The artistic education that he posseses and the resources he manages in his profesión or the influence from other artists are conclusive aspects in order to decide the final meaning, the whole visuality of his images establishing the potencial of their meaning.

The government of poverty becomes educational policy and pedagogical approach in schools that develop proposals of education differentiated according to "sex", aimed at children and adolescents from popular sectors. Teachers' conceptions about their work with these sectors are based on a naturalistic and "social" reading of gender, which justifies the physical separation of boys and girls, and the supposed greater effectiveness of the work of educating if the "sex" of the teacher is homologated with that of the students. A pedagogical work is deployed with families in which they are placed as a threat or as possible allies, in terms of social work on gender violence in the family space. Gender policies are thus re-appropriated locally, justifying an organizational and pedagogical model based on physical separation and segregation according to criteria of inequality and differences, which reinforces the fragmentation of the system and segregation processes. The paper is based on a qualitative research developed in a private Catholic school that separates boys and girls in the city of Buenos Aires, and sought to understand the articulation of class and gender in the production of educational inequalities and their approach from the teachers' point of view.

This paper reflects on the growth and learning opportunities for educators offered by a confinement as severe as the one experienced by the Covid-19 health emergency in 2020. In order to do so, we will focus on the need for a more prudent, more attentive, more ecological and more measured behaviour as an educational key in all teachers in an ontological, epistemological and methodological way. We propose that it is essential for teachers to do serious work in transmitting to their students an appreciation of silence and restraint, largely reinforced by meditative states. In this way, we will do our best to facilitate for our students the acquisition of a high degree of attention to themselves, the others and the world around them. Finally, it is proposed the used of haiku as a tool to reach a better understanding of the ideas explained previously. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper approaches the limits of technologies in education, from the discourses extracted f'om the mapping of theses of the Graduate Programs in Education, in the interval of 2012 to 2016. It is a hermeneutic research carried out through the search of keywords, in the Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (BDTD), aiming to understand the contributions and problems evidenced in theses on the subject. The challenges and questionings of technologies come to the scene in education as models to be followed, which weakens the experiences of pedagogical sense in the historical-formative interdependence and unveils the need for a critical-dialectical movement that takes into account the knowledge constructed in the school. The teacher, in this scenario of change, needs to be a provocateur of pedagogical reflection stolen by the successive development of technical idioms, as a starting point for the dialectical reconstruction of technologies in education.

Reading in the university in the social sciences area involves working with multiple textual and discursive sources. Many times teachers can expect students to behave as autonomous readers and to know in advance how to read in a specific area. In this sense, this paper addresses teacher's perspectives and expectations about student's reading practices in Psychology at a state-run university. For this, a qualitative study is carried out in which 30 teachers of the first year of the Psychology degree are interviewed. The interviews are analyzed in light of categories that emerge from the theoretical framework and the emerging ones are considered. Results show that the great majority of teacher's perspectives on students reading focus on the difficulties and that a few teacher's perspectives focus on strengths and on self-critical view of teaching practices. In addition, these perspectives are related to the reading practices expected by teachers. Those teachers, who highlight difficulties, declare to encourage monological reading practices and expect students to read in this way. Those who recognize potentialities and difficulties in their students as readers declare possible dialogical practices and hope that students can read together with them. Reading perspectives lead teachers to deploy reading practices that may tend to remedy the difficulties or become spaces of construction of shared meanings on what is read. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Many Nowadays, digital teaching competence transcends the individual training of teachers in ICT. The European framework DigCompEdu, highlights that teachers must train students in the application of digital technologies in a critical and responsible way, in terms of information, communication, content generation, wellbeing and problem solving. Despite the good intentions to systematize a common model of development of digital competence, it is detected that the proposals lack a pedagogical approach that serves as a theoretical framework for them. This paper proposes a development model of the digital teaching competence based on the sociocultural approach through four constructs: Command, Preference, Reintegration and Appropriation. For this study, an ad hoc scale is created to record the digital teaching competence through the development of this in their students and empirical evidences are provided. A survey type design is proposed. The sample consists of 1,881 students of compulsory education in Andalusia (Spain). SPSS is used to analyse data. The average general results for each of the dimensions studied reveal a medium level of development of digital competence. It is concluded that there is still too much to be done in terms of teacher training in ICT, being necessary to provide them strategies for the development of this in their students.

The purpose of this paper is to show the adaptation and validation process of the Teacher Self-Efficacy Scale questionnaire (Tschannen-Moran & Woolfolk, 2001) in a sample selection of 544 Chilean teachers. This was done using the back translation procedure. For construct validity, the exploratory factor analysis statistic method was applied, which resulted in one additional factor to the three, which were in the original instrument. Secondly, a confirmatory factor analysis was carried out. The latter corroborated the four-dimension solution with appropriate index adjustments. Finally, the internal consistency was analyzed by using the Cronbach's alpha coefficient, which showed satisfactory rates for each factor and the entire instrument. All these findings support the claim that the adapted version of the questionnaire is valid, reliable and explanatory of the self-efficacy theory for the reality of Chilean teachers.

This paper discusses a research on the incidence of forgetfulness of teachers in the subject image and the configuration of society. Oblivion is a constant in human societies and it appears to be stronger in societies, such as Colombia, that have failed to grow, to set the ground as a project due to the political haste, the weakness memory and the inordinate capacity to forget. Little by little, an essential question encircled the research horizon: if people forget, if teachers forget how to teach: what are these oversights, and what do they consist of?
