HOW FUTURE TEACHERS FOR PRESCHOOL AND ELEMENTARY SCHOOL UNDERSTAND AND USE INQUIRY TEACHING AND LEARNING?

Author(s): Cristina Florina Pop,Liliana Ciascai / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

Inquiry-based learning is considered a learning framework valued by researchers but less used by teachers, despite the fact that it has been promoted since the mid-19th century. Teaching by investigation includes methodological approaches specific to scientific inquiry, such as asking questions, documenting, testing personal ideas, solving problems, and concluding. There is no single framework for teaching by investigation, the inquiry approach being modeled by practitioners according to the proposed goals. The aim of this study is to investigate how future teachers for elementary and preschool education, involved in a distance training, design an inquiry-based learning model. The topics studied were left to the students' choice. The sampling was convenient, with 124 subjects participating in the research. The tool used in the research was an inquiry-based learning activity analysis grid. The obtained results show that the steps of formulating the assumption / hypothesis and of designing the testing of hypothesis are the most deficient. Participants face difficulties in formulating hypotheses and in substantiating them on the results of primary documentation or in correlating them with research questions. Furthermore, the testing is not correlated with the assumption or hypothesis made.

THE RELIGION CLASS IN THE CONTEMPORARY EDUCATIONAL CONTEXT

Author(s): Carmen-Maria Bolocan,Pavel Lungu / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

In this study, we intend to emphasize the role of the Religion lesson in the formation of the student’s moral character, in a modern context, which is not exactly appropriate to achieve this goal. We will focus in our endeavor on several aspects such as: the Religion teacher, the person who proposes and coordinates the lesson; the Religion class – a spiritual meeting between the teacher and his students, the Religion professor – the evaluator of the lesson; the student – the subject of the lesson; the cooperation between the teacher and the students for the best progress of the lesson and not only these. The Religion class has a formative dimension, even in the contemporary context of the educational process, which goes beyond the didactic environment. It reaches its full goal only when the students become interested and practicing, when they become aware of the fact that they belong to the mystical Christ’s Body– the Church.

A MULTISPECTRAL STRATEGIC APPROACH IN DEVELOPING CRITICAL THINKING IN STUDENTS

Author(s): Nina Bîrnaz,Nadejda Butnari,Lilian Rață / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

This paper highlights the importance of critical thinking in an era of rapid change. Critical thinking is a system of judgements that contributes to formulating conclusions, ideas, interpretations, and their applicability to concrete situations and problem-solving. Therefore, the educational approach aimed at developing critical thinking in students combines two different dimensions, namely, the axiological and the cognitive dimensions. Based on these directions, we propose the "4 What" strategy for the development of critical thinking in students. The strategy involves a matrix of four interrelated components: critical thinking development attitudes, critical thinking development skills, manifestations of critical thinking behaviour, and critical thinking development methods, as well as ten stages reflecting the consecutiveness of the critical thinking process.

INTEGRATED STREAM APPROACH THROUGH SERVICE LEARNING PROJECTS. TEACHERS' OPINIONS

Author(s): Marinela Bărnuțiu-Sârca,Liliana Ciascai / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

Over time, it has been found that STEM education does not cover all areas of school knowledge necessary for the integration of today's students into tomorrow's society. The introduction of the arts and reading along with the exact STEM subjects was intended to increase interest in knowledge and learning. Service learning projects can be considered an efficient and innovative way of applying the integrated STREAM approach to the classroom. Through this study, we aim to investigate how teachers understand the INTEGRATED STREAM approach, and, respectively, the realization of this type of approach through service learning projects. The participants in the research were primary and secondary teachers who attended a two-week summer camp. The results show that: a) engineering and technology have raised issues for teachers regarding their didactic treatment, these areas being often confused; b) participants show high interest in applying the INTEGRATED STREAM approach in service learning projects.

PRESCHOOLERS’ GRAPHIC SKILLS: TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT

Author(s): Victoria Tira / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

Psychomotricity and the development of pregraphic acquisitions in preschool children involve components such as body schema knowledge, spatial organization and orientation, laterality, and temporal organization. By means of these dimensions of development, the child orients himself and then operates with concepts indispensable for his development and integration towards other educational environments such as kindergarten and then school. The preschool period is the beginning of manifestation of the most important motor, cognitive and affective acquisitions, which, through specific activities and games, facilitate the formation of fine skills in the child and prepare him for the execution of the gestures that writing actually requires. The entire physical, cognitive and graphic evolution of the preschool child is correlated with the development of motor skills and the rest of the developmental dimensions, and relevant in this sense, on the dimension of stimulation and development of fine motor skills, are the child's scribbling, drawing and writing stage.
