          Abstract

          Abstract: Teacher Education Programs (TEPs) face the issue of how to support preservice teachers in developing teaching skills that link theory and practice. The core practices approach offers a relevant alternative, including the definition of focal teaching practices and pedagogies of practice to promote them. One such pedagogy consists of approximations, through which preservice teachers can try out practices in low-stakes settings. These pedagogies are usually time intensive and can require substantive course restructuring. This raises the question of whether teaching simulations can be productively used in less intensive settings, and how these are perceived by students. We present the results of a quasi-experimental study conducted with preservice secondary teachers in Germany. The study assesses a novel teaching simulation and compares it with an established video-based analysis learning setting. Both conditions were implemented as part of a university-based seminar accompanying a five-month field experience focused on fostering productive classroom dialogue. The research aim was to assess the new simulation where a preservice teacher was meant to practice conducting productive classroom dialogue, which was videoed and then analyzed collectively (n=180 students). We compared this setting with a video-based analysis of classroom dialogue (n=100 students). The research questions focus on students’ learning perceptions and self-efficacy perceptions around dialogic teaching, which we addressed using pre-post surveys. Our main results show that preservice teachers in the simulation condition had significantly more positive perceptions of the learning setting, including reported knowledge gains and intention to apply. Meanwhile, both groups had equally high levels of self-efficacy regarding classroom dialogue from pre to post-test with no significant interaction effect in favor of the IG. We discuss the results, which offer support for the proposed intervention, considering previous research on learning to teach in a teaching practicum. The lack of changes in self-efficacy is addressed, considering limitations and aspects for further research.

          Resumen: Los programas de formación inicial docente se enfrentan al desafío de cómo desarrollar competencias docentes que vinculen la teoría y la práctica. El enfoque de prácticas generativas resulta pertinente al identificar prácticas clave y pedagogías para promoverlas. Esto incluye el uso de aproximaciones para simular prácticas en entornos protegidos. Estas pedagogías suelen requerir una inversión sustantiva de tiempo e, incluso, la reestructuración completa de los cursos universitarios correspondientes. Esto plantea las interrogantes de si las simulaciones pueden ser útiles en contextos menos intensivos y cómo son percibidas por los estudiantes. En este artículo se presentan los resultados de un estudio cuasiexperimental con estudiantes de un programa de formación inicial en Alemania. En el estudio se desarrolló una nueva simulación de enseñanza y se comparó con el análisis de videos de aula. Ambas condiciones se aplicaron en un seminario universitario de acompañamiento de una práctica profesional enfocado en el diálogo productivo en el aula. El objetivo de esta investigación es evaluar la nueva simulación, en la que un profesor en formación debía ensayar la realización de un diálogo productivo en el aula. Esta fue grabada y analizada colectivamente (n=180 estudiantes). El grupo de comparación analizó videos de profesores desconocidos que ejemplifican la enseñanza dialógica (n=100 estudiantes). Las preguntas de investigación se centran en las percepciones de aprendizaje y de autoeficacia de los estudiantes, abordadas mediante cuestionarios pre-post. Los resultados indican que los participantes de la simulación se diferenciaron significativamente del grupo que utilizó videos por sus percepciones más positivas del entorno de aprendizaje, la adquisición de conocimientos y la intención de aplicarlos. Ambos grupos exhibieron el mismo nivel de autoeficacia para implementar el diálogo en el aula, sin un efecto de interacción significativo a favor del GI. La discusión aborda los resultados favorables de la intervención. Se consideran estos hallazgos en relación con investigaciones previas sobre el aprendizaje de la enseñanza en una práctica profesional. Se problematiza la falta de cambios en la autoeficacia, tomando en cuenta limitaciones y aspectos relevantes para futuras investigaciones.

            Teaching Practice: A Cross-Professional Perspective

            Background/Context This study investigates how people are prepared for professional practice in the clergy, teaching, and clinical psychology. The work is located within research on professional education, and research on the teaching and learning of practice. Purpose/Objective/Research Question/Focus of Study The purpose of the study is to develop a framework to describe and analyze the teaching of practice in professional education programs, specifically preparation for relational practices. Setting The research took place in eight professional education programs located in seminaries, schools of professional psychology, and universities across the country. Population/Participants/Subjects Our research participants include faculty members, students, and administrators at each of these eight programs. Research Design This research is a comparative case study of professional education across three different professions—the clergy, clinical psychology, and teaching. Our data include qualitative case studies of eight preparation programs: two teacher education programs, three seminaries, and three clinical psychology programs. Data Collection and Analysis For each institution, we conducted site visits that included interviews with administrators, faculty, and staff; observations of multiple classes and field-work; and focus groups with students who were either at the midpoint or at the end of their programs. Conclusions/Recommendations We have identified three key concepts for understanding the pedagogies of practice in professional education: representations, decomposition, and approximations of practice. Representations of practice comprise the different ways that practice is represented in professional education and what these various representations make visible to novices. Decomposition of practice involves breaking down practice into its constituent parts for the purposes of teaching and learning. Approximations of practice refer to opportunities to engage in practices that are more or less proximal to the practices of a profession. In this article, we define and provide examples of the representation, decomposition, and approximation of practice from our study of professional education in the clergy, clinical psychology, and teaching. We conclude that, in the program we studied, prospective teachers have fewer opportunities to engage in approximations that focus on contingent, interactive practice than do novices in the other two professions we studied.
