RESUMEN El estudio exploró un caso intrínseco de reflexión curricular interpretativa y contextualizada en una escuela chilena. El caso destaca en un contexto nacional de alta estandarización curricular, con un régimen de rendición de cuentas de altas consecuencias que limita la reflexión curricular situada. Con un enfoque cualitativo, se llevó a cabo un análisis de contenido de una entrevista grupal con docentes, previa revisión de documentos que explicitan la visión de la escuela. Los hallazgos muestran una orientación crítica y opuesta a la política de estandarización a partir de una propuesta denominada Nuclearización Curricular. Se revela una consistencia entre los significados y las prácticas respecto de un aprendizaje pertinente, con sentido y favorable al desarrollo profesional docente.

In this work, we seek to reflect on teaching in a relationship that we call being-teacher, structured from an essay on theoretical reflections that articulate the production of subjectivity and professional identity, lecturing about personality in teaching, including collective/social and political dimensions. With the term being-a-teacher we argue about personality in teaching and its analytical powers of care, interpersonal connections and research as a teaching posture to infer about the teaching professional development, in the conception of a reciprocal integration between perceptions and agency. Reaffirming the impossibility of neutrality in the act of educating and of dissociating subject and teacher, understanding that personal experiences produce a political dimension of teaching action as a power of professional development when they are sustained in the premise of social justice by/in education, we point out an analytical space possible, from empirical elements, demarcating three axes called: identification, senses of belonging and investigative attitudes.

This article is part of the research project “University Pedagogical Assistance: Singularities and Synchronicities in an International Scenario”, in progress since 2022. The problem that permeates the study is based on the silencing of educational policies regarding the training of university professors who, in the absence of direction and legal support, are left to personal and institutional initiatives reflecting motivations and conceptions specific to the time-space in which they are inserted. In the case of the Universidade de São Paulo (USP), the actions and programs developed show the singularities of an institution that has built its identity based on research. The objective is to investigate the programs and proposals developed within the scope of the Universidade de São Paulo, as well as to analyze this training from the perspective of professors and managers involved. The corpus of analysis is constituted by institutional documents (yearbooks, reports) and interviews with social actors involved with institutional programs for the training of university professors. Data analysis is based on content analysis in the thematic modality. The data show that the institutional place of training programs and proposals has been marked by disputes that reflect the interests of different groups and social agents, emphasizing that at USP issues related to teaching have historically been treated as management policy, which reveals its non-place.

This study examines the career trajectories of three secondary technical-vocational education teachers in Chile who decided to study pedagogy while working in technical high schools. Unlike the traditional teacher training path, these professionals entered the workforce before formalizing their pedagogical education, offering a unique perspective on their professional development. The analysis focuses on identifying points of convergence and divergence in their trajectories, using biographical narratives to uncover key moments, motivations, and vocational shifts. The results revealed positive previous educational experiences and an early attraction to teaching as common points, while differences were found in the paths taken before entering teaching. Unlike conventionally trained teachers, these professionals approach pedagogy with a clear understanding of their formative process, underscoring the importance of tailoring teacher training programs to their specific needs. Thus, this study offers an insightful perspective on the professional development of technical-vocational education teachers, suggesting ways to enrich training processes in this educational field.

This article aims to analyze elements related to the teacher professional development presented in a remote training process on statistical concepts during the pandemic. This exploratory qualitative research comprises 29 teachers who teach mathematics in elementary and middle school in seven municipalities, partners of a research network. With the following research question: What elements related to teacher professional development are presented by participants of a remote training process on statistical concepts, carried out by a research network in the pandemic period? To implement it, during the COVID-19 pandemic, a remote training process was developed, supported by digital tools, and organized into four modules, with the methodology of the flipped classroom and the RePARe spiral. Statistical concepts were selected using the PPDAC methodology, from the perspective of equity. In data collection, teachers answered an online questionnaire. Content analysis was adopted to read the data, and professional development emerged as a category of analysis. The thematic axis supporting the reflection was the "Training Process", presenting elements that professional development is continuous, showing that teachers still have conceptual and pedagogical practice formative demands. Among the most mentioned factors was time, with discussions related to school, profession, the person, and the family. Finally, the internalization of research and the experience of teacher education in mathematics was promoted, especially in Brazilian Northeastern institutions. Thus, the work carried out provided equity for mathematics education. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

En el ámbito educativo, la pandemia por COVID-19 dejó en evidencia la importancia de las habilidades socioemocionales para lograr un aprendizaje integral, destacando los dominios interpersonales e intrapersonales como elementos necesarios para un funcionamiento efectivo y una interacción exitosa con los demás (Domitrovich et al., 2017). Es abundante la evidencia que destaca la influencia del liderazgo en la mejora educativa y es reconocida su influencia sobre el Desarrollo Profesional Docente. Se analizan las reflexiones de siete expertos sobre la relevancia de las habilidades socioemocionales en el liderazgo educativo actual, surgidas de entrevistas en profundidad referidas a liderazgo, mejora educativa y desarrollo profesional docente. Se emplea un enfoque cualitativo inductivo y una metodología interpretativa y crítica. Los principales hallazgos muestran la necesidad de enfocarse en el aprendizaje socioemocional. Se resalta la importancia de reorientar la formación inicial y continua de los docentes, donde los líderes educativos desempeñan un papel crucial. Se pone en evidencia la necesidad de tener en cuenta estas habilidades en las políticas educativas y curriculares de los diferentes niveles del sistema educativo. Los expertos coinciden en que las habilidades socioemocionales son fundamentales en el liderazgo educativo del siglo XXI. Se destaca la necesidad de desarrollar programas de formación docente que aborden estas habilidades, así como de promover su integración en las políticas y prácticas educativas. Estos hallazgos tienen implicancias para la mejora de la calidad de la educación y el bienestar de los estudiantes.

La inclusión escolar es un factor clave para el desarrollo de una Educación de calidad, siendo el liderazgo inclusivo un elemento fundamental para la consecución de ésta. El liderazgo, además, determina el ejercicio real de inclusión en las escuelas. Así, el objetivo principal de este estudio consistió en analizar las percepciones del profesorado y familias de escuelas de Educación primaria sobre el liderazgo inclusivo. Participaron 110 docentes de Educación primaria de centros públicos de Sevilla y 46 familias, cumplimentando las versiones de docentes y familiares del cuestionario LEI-Q. Los resultados mostraron que la percepción de los docentes sobre el centro educativo como comunidad inclusiva no es positiva y la de las familias tampoco, aunque en menor medida. Así, el liderazgo ejercido por los líderes educativos parece no haber conseguido implementar actualmente suficientes medidas para la construcción de escuelas inclusivas.

El amplio uso de las redes sociales por parte del profesorado permite la aparición de nuevas modalidades de aprendizaje. Como parte de su labor, los docentes llevan a cabo actividades de desarrollo profesional a lo largo de su carrera, muchas de ellas en línea. En las redes sociales están surgiendo docentes proactivos que ejercen liderazgos compartiendo su conocimiento, sus recursos y sus ideas. Se trata de docentes que asumen el papel de formadores para otros compañeros y compañeras apoyando su desarrollo profesional a través de vías informales. En esta investigación se determinan y analizan los principales procesos mediante los cuales docentes de aula se convierten en formadores informales gracias al uso de las redes sociales. Con esta finalidad, se pone el foco en las #CharlasEducativas, un proyecto a través del cual docentes informales aprenden y se forman en YouTube. Por medio de entrevistas estructuradas a 21 docentes, se pudieron conocer sus perfiles profesionales y analizar su concepción acerca de las características que deben tener las actividades de desarrollo profesional docente. Destacan por su experiencia de más de diez años como docentes en activo y por su dedicación a la formación del profesorado. Entre las cualidades que los formadores consideran que deben poseer las actividades de desarrollo profesional exitosas, los entrevistados valoran la relevancia de las formaciones prácticas, voluntarias, aplicables al aula, horizontales y desarrolladas a través de medios informales como las redes sociales. Los formadores valoran positivamente las oportunidades de desarrollo profesional dadas a través de las redes sociales, como el proyecto #CharlasEducativas, en las cuales encuentran la presencia de múltiples cualidades de las destacadas en este estudio. Las conclusiones de este trabajo indican que las redes sociales suponen una oportunidad no solo para que los docentes puedan acceder a información y conocimiento, sino también para generar nuevos liderazgos informales entre determinados docentes de aula.

Para fortalecer el desarrollo profesional docente, se requieren propuestas formativas de carácter colaborativo, que consideren competencias de liderazgo intermedio para monitorear, retroalimentar y modelar la práctica. En este artículo, se presenta una experiencia de formación dirigida a 27 líderes intermedios de 11 establecimientos educativos, en que se utiliza el modelo formativo “Mejoramiento de la Experiencia Docente” (MED) para que acompañen a docentes en el desarrollo de la argumentación en el aula de matemáticas. Mediante el análisis de esta experiencia se muestra de qué manera características y etapas del MED tales como problematizar la práctica del profesor, generar conflicto cognitivo en el docente, suscitar las ideas de los profesores y promover que los docentes analicen evidencias en el aula se relaciona con las tres competencias de un líder intermedio para monitorear, retroalimentar y modelar prácticas.

El presente artículo consiste en la comparación de dos importantes herramientas utilizadas en la evaluación de las competencias digitales en el ámbito educativo: SELFIE y DigCompEdu. Se ha utilizado la técnica Delphi, que involucra a expertos en el campo de las competencias digitales en educación para evaluar y establecer equivalencias entre los indicadores de SELFIE y los niveles de competencia del marco DigCompEdu, con el fin de generar un mapa de la competencia digital docente. Se pretendía, través de esta técnica, averiguar qué indicadores de la herramienta SELFIE (y en qué medida) se corresponden con los indicadores de DigCompEdu según los criterios de los expertos y, por otra parte, establecer la relación existente entre las ocho áreas establecidas en SELFIE y las seis áreas del marco DigCompEdu. Para ello, se han tenido en consideración la cantidad de indicadores que, según los expertos, presentan correspondencias. Los resultados revelan numerosas correspondencias, especialmente en áreas como la enseñanza y la evaluación. Además, demuestra que las áreas de ambos modelos están interrelacionadas, lo que sugiere una conexión significativa entre la competencia digital del personal docente y el desarrollo de competencias digitales de los estudiantes, así como el compromiso profesional.

Collaboration among peers is recognized as a practice that strengthens teacher training. Hence it is necessary to move towards systematic collaboration that addresses issues around the practice of teaching, and that makes the work done in the classroom more open, in order to develop a professional learning community. This paper uses a mixed study of multiple cases to analyse the possibilities for establishing educational collaboration among working teachers. The cases come from three schools in Chile: teachers were asked to complete a questionnaire (PLCA-R) and two discussion groups with teachers and administrative staff were held. The findings indicate that these cases offer limited opportunities for classroom observation, feedback or peer mentoring practices. However, the study found a positive view of informal dialogue between teachers for sharing ideas aimed at improving student learning. It concludes that collaboration requires sufficient distribution of material resources and methodological resources to encourage cooperation between peers, as well as a strengthening of leadership that encourages the development of workplace training.

Objetivo. Este artículo presenta los resultados de un estudio, cuyo objetivo es analizar el abordaje del desarrollo profesional docente dentro de la formación inicial, en su articulación con el eje de práctica, desde la apropiación del personal docente formador de cuatro carreras, en una universidad estatal chilena, ubicada en la región de Valparaíso. Metodología. A través de una metodología de enfoque hermenéutico, basada en el paradigma interpretativo de la investigación cualitativa, se llevó a cabo un trabajo de campo que involucró el análisis de contenido de 37 documentos –ministeriales e institucionales–, y la realización de 16 entrevistas semiestructuradas a las jefaturas, docentes de formación práctica y personas egresadas de las carreras. Resultados. A partir del enfoque metodológico de la teoría fundamentada se analizó la información obtenida, dando cuenta, como resultados que el espacio de formación inicial estudiado presenta en su documentación institucional lineamientos que abordan lo establecido normativamente sobre el desarrollo profesional docente, los que no se concretizan en el espacio práctico de las carreras, ya que, desde el análisis unificado del discurso de los sujetos entrevistados, se puede sostener que existe una desarticulación curricular que replica un modelo de formación tradicional desde el cual se fragmentan los saberes a través de la instrumentalización de la formación pedagógica.

La formación permanente supone un proceso de aprendizaje que se desarrolla a lo largo de toda la trayectoria vital del docente, dando respuesta a las necesidades y problemas reales que el profesorado tiene en su práctica para desarrollar sus propias competencias profesionales en un contexto de cambio continuo. Una de las modalidades fundamentales de formación permanente del profesorado no universitario es la Formación en Centro, dado que parte, se ajusta y revierte en el propio contexto, facilitando de esta manera el análisis, la reflexión y la mejora de la práctica docente. En este trabajo se presenta una investigación de corte cualitativo, centrada en cinco estudios de casos, cuatro centros educativos públicos de Infantil y Primaria y el Servicio de Atención Educativa Hospitalaria y Domiciliaria de Málaga, que se implican en el desarrollo de una Formación en Centro como iniciativa para dar respuesta a sus necesidades formativas, a los problemas que el profesorado encuentra en su práctica. Como demuestran los resultados, estos Proyectos de Formación en Centro, orientados hacia la mejora personal, profesional e institucional, tienen un enorme potencial para la formación permanente y el desarrollo profesional del profesorado. Son proyectos con gran capacidad para adaptarse al contexto y a las necesidades reales del profesorado, que ayudan a prevenir el malestar docente, a evitar la inhibición y la rutina, y a incrementar el interés por la búsqueda de nuevas propuestas educativas. Por tanto, concluimos que la Formación en Centro es valorada como una modalidad prioritaria dentro de los planes de formación permanente del profesorado en Andalucía, puesto que considera al centro educativo como el foco de formación y la unidad básica de cambio e innovación educativa. Además, favorece espacios de reflexión y participación, propuestas de cambio y de trabajo en equipo como desarrollo fundamental de la institución educativa y del profesorado.

RESUMEN: En este artículo se da a conocer un estudio realizado mediante la indagación narrativa autobiográfica haciendo uso de la tridimensionalidad de la indagación narrativa: temporalidad, sociabilidad y lugar. Se explora acerca de los desafíos que implica formarse como docente universitario inclusivo, basándose en las historias de Eddy, un profesor universitario hondureño. A través de la lectura del texto, revisiones, conversaciones y reflexiones, los autores pudieron reescribir las narrativas de Eddy. En dicho intercambio emergen y se profundiza en cuatro historias siendo estas: a) encuentro con la discapacidad, b) involucrarse en la lucha por generar un contexto inclusivo, c) formarse como docente inclusivo y d) sus posibles retos en un entorno desigual.

Las instituciones de Educación Superior desempeñan un papel decisivo para resolver los problemas económicos, sociales y medioambientales que afectan a la humanidad. De ahí que el logro de los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS) constituya un reto para la academia. En este ámbito, el profesorado universitario tiene un rol determinante, ya que de sus conocimientos dependerá la conciencia y la cultura sostenible de los profesionales y líderes del futuro. En base a ello, este estudio se propuso identificar el nivel de conocimientos del profesorado universitario sobre los ODS y constatar las posibles diferencias existentes según el sexo y la facultad de procedencia. Para ello, se contó con la participación de 100 docentes de las Facultades de Educación y Ciencias de la Universidad de Alicante, quienes cumplimentaron un cuestionario sobre dicha temática. Se realizó un análisis descriptivo y comparativo con el programa estadístico SPSS v. 22. De acuerdo con los resultados, si bien el profesorado tenía una idea general sobre la sostenibilidad, sus conocimientos específicos eran escasos y limitados. Además, no se apreciaron diferencias significativas según el sexo y centro de adscripción. Se concluye que es necesario promover políticas universitarias para diseñar e implementar programas formativos específicos en materia de sostenibilidad.

La colaboración entre pares es reconocida como una práctica que fortalece el aprendizaje del profesorado. Es por ello por lo que resulta necesario avanzar hacia una cooperación sistemática que responda a los problemas de la práctica docente y donde se haga público el trabajo de aula hacia la construcción de una comunidad profesional de aprendizaje. El presente artículo analiza las posibilidades de establecer colaboración docente en el ejercicio de la profesión a través de un estudio mixto de casos múltiples que corresponden a tres centros educativos chilenos en los que se aplicó un cuestionario (PLCA-R) a los enseñantes y se realizaron dos grupos de discusión con docentes y directivos. Los hallazgos señalan que los casos presentan bajas oportunidades de desarrollo de prácticas de observación, retroalimentación y tutoría entre pares. Sin embargo, se observa una percepción positiva sobre los diálogos informales entre profesores para compartir sugerencias encaminadas a la mejora del aprendizaje de los estudiantes. Se concluye que, para desarrollar la colaboración, es necesaria la distribución adecuada de recursos materiales y de metodologías que propicien el trabajo entre iguales, junto con el fortalecimiento de un liderazgo que fomente la construcción de aprendizaje situado.

This study gathers teachers’ perceptions in a peer observation practice as a mechanism for professional development. Based on a collaborative and mutual observation, 131 teachers agree on observation foci and observe each other in a class session, offering feedback to set personal goals for improvement. The results from a pretest-postest indicate a decrease in resistance and an increase in some dimensions of the teaching agency. Descriptive analyses show positive participant perceptions, particularly in the collaborative stages. Although not all of them set goals for improvement, it has been possible to trace how they emerge and are refined during the process. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The first years of teaching experience are permeated by tensions and learning and become more challenging when the insertion occurs during the literacy process, due to its complexity and specificity. This qualitative investigation aimed to reveal the process of insertion into literacy teaching of teachers who graduated from a Pedagogy Course. The analysis indicates that the challenges encountered are related to the conditions arising from the context of performance: private or public school. In the private school, they concern the plastering of the pedagogical action and the selfconfidence and confidence of the families; in public schools, the number of children, the heterogeneity of the group and the lack of support. Regardless of the context, this has been a lonely process that needs intentional monitoring [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This research aimed to understand the implications of a collaborative-formative process to the professional development of novice teachers who work in the early years of elementary education in a municipal public school in Piçarras-SC. A qualitative and collaborative research was developed, and the data were analyzed using textual discourse analysis. During the course of the research, the main challenges faced by novice teachers in their daily practice were listed through a narrative interview: collaborative work, teaching knowledge, ethical commitment of the teacher, interpersonal relationships, and reflective practice. Based on these challenges, a learning community was formed. The implications obtained in this collaborative formative process led to the defense of: continuing education based on the interests and challenges faced by teachers; continuing education centered in the school; and collaborative work among teachers.

The teaching profession can no longer be understood without collegiate work, which allows professionals not only to be good individual recipe applicators but, above all, to feel safe to develop common methodological strategies, try out new collective practices and be recognized for them. This conception supposes the transformation of the prevailing professional teaching culture, to reach constant agreements on what should be learned in each educational entity, and, consequently, when, and how, what has been learned should be taught and evaluated, on the behaviour of educational agents, as well as the type of institutional experiences to stimulate the desired learning. Considering the educational entity as a complex system, the model of positive educational transformation in professional learning communities (PLC), allows an intervention in all these dimensions jointly, with the purpose of eventually taking it to its inflection point, through a highly participatory approach of reflection on practice and collaboration among equals to generate autonomous work structures that sustain long-term transformation. The field work carried out using the case methodology, and the subsequent triangulation of project documentation, online surveys and interviews, has allowed us to conclude on the importance of aligning teaching and management practices, and the degree of maturity of the educational organization in terms of the beliefs of its members, the technical-pedagogical variables, the internal culture, the leadership, the communication between the educational agents, as well as the organization and management, in the processes of positive educational transformation.

This investigation intends to discuss and understand some objectives of the professional development of teachers who teach Mathematics in an academic-professional environment through a formative action based on a Conversation Circle involving undergraduate students, internship supervisor teacher and Basic Education teachers. The research is characterized as a qualitative study and the research corpus is composed of audio record transcripts and the logbook notes of the research professor. The data produced were analyzed according to the principles of Discursive Textual Analysis and the discussion was anchored in the objectives proposed by Sowder. The results point to the need of rethinking the way training actions are being developed and to possibilities of planning new actions that seek the professional development of the mathematics teacher, focused on their interests, needs, challenges, possibilities and limitations.
