PARTICULARITĂŢI ALE EVALUĂRII DIDACTICE

ÎN CADRUL PROCESULUI DE ÎNVĂŢARE PRIN COOPERARE

Abstract: Particularities of didactic evaluation within learning process by co-operation

In the last years, attempts were made to identify a series of educational alternatives for the standard "design" of the learning process, in order to raise its efficiency in accordance with the new challenges of post-modern society. One of these educational alternatives is represented by the learning through co-operation. Depending on the modality of organization of the didactic activity, there are three types of social interactions: a competitive one, an individual one and a co-operative one. Co-operation tends to promote superior achievements, positive interpersonal relationships and a better mental health. In order to render it as efficient as possible, we must know which are its basic characteristics and apply them in an organized way as well as we can. However, one of the reasons for teachers having difficulties in using learning through co-operation with their students is represented by the obstacles that occur when they are trying to evaluate their scholar progress. This is why, in the present paper, our intention was to analyze, theoretically and practically, the process of didactic evaluation when a learning through co-operation is used, insisting on its advantages and its limits, as well as on the possibilities of its application at a specific learning discipline.

Abstract: Using the Concept Teaching Model (CTM) in the differential education of mentally retarded children

The first part of this paper presents the Concept Teaching Model (CTM) created by the Norwegian researcher Magne Nyborg. The second part of this paper presents the results of a research activity where CTM was used.

Hypothesis: if, in early school years, mild and borderline mentally retarded children are assisted in acquiring basic concepts using Nyborg's method, there will be significant improvement in their intellectual development and in their school results.

Procedure: I worked with 16 children divided into an experimental and a witness group. For six months, the children in the experimental group were taught the basic concepts (colour, shape, position, size, place, direction, number) using Nyborg's method. The stages followed were: Selective Association, Selective Discrimination, Selective Generalisation and Analytic Coding exercises.

Conclusions: The children in the experimental group significantly improved their ability to notice similarities and differences, to transfer their school knowledge into less familiar situations, and the mobility and reversibility of their thinking. Children also improved their ability to find the significance of a text, as well as their Maths results.

formării pedagogice şi didactice

a cadrelor didactice universitare?

Liliana Ciascai, Ioan Ciascai

Resumé: Il faut repenser la formation pédagogique et didactique des enseignants universitaires?

L'étude se propose de mettre en question la problème de la formation pédagogique et didactique des enseignants universitaires comme réponse aux besoins des étudiants. Cette analyse mette en évidence la manque d'adaptation des étudiants à la rigueur du travail universitaire, leur faible motivation surtout dans les dernières années, le taux élevé d'échec, leur difficulté de plus en plus grande de trouver un emploi. Ce sont les compétences de haut niveau que devraient acquérir les étudiants à l'université pour remédier la situation: clarté, précision dans les expressions, réflexion critique, communication, travail d'équipe etc. Ces compétences peuvent être acquérir par les étudiants par l'intermède d'un apprentissage implicite et explicite, à l'aide des enseignants habilités.

Resumé: La didactique de la Physique dans l'espace francophone – l'analyse des programmes d'études pour la formation initiale des enseignants

L'étude se propose d'identifier les compatibilités et les contradictions existant entre les programmes analytiques de la Didactique de la Physique appliqués dans l'enseignement universitaire roumain et les programmes similaires francophones. La critique des documents et l'analyse ont visé: la thématique, la structure et les contenues des cours et des programmes analytiques de la Didactique de la Physique. L'analyse a evidentié l'intérêt des didacticiens roumains pour les méthodes d'enseigner par oppositions à la préoccupation des didacticiens francophones pour l'acquisition par des futurs enseignants des compétences scientifiques transférables dans leur pratique didactique.

Rolul gândirii critice

în evaluarea obstacolelor întâlnite de elevi

în procesul de învăţare A conceptelor de chimie

Florentina Ciomoş

Resumé: Le rôle de la pensée critique dans l'évaluation des obstacles rencontrés par les élèves dans l'apprentissage des concepts chimiques

Dans la perspective générique d'une recherche, la pensée critique se propose d'étudier un phénomène, un problème pour élaborer une hypothèse et la vérifier en tant que conclusion. C'est à ce niveau de la recherche que les élèves font des erreurs - à cause des obstacles qu'ils rencontrent –d'où la nécessité pédagogiques d'identifier ces obstacles. Ainsi, le premier moment dans le dépassement des obstacles reste leur identification et, ensuite, leur analyse. Assumer les erreurs devient un problème délicat, qui peut être dépassé par l'enseignant par une attitude d'encouragement. Notre étude se propose d'analyser quelques modalités pratiques d'identifier les obstacles rencontrés par les élèves dans l'apprentissage des concepts chimiques et des les évaluer compte tenu du binôme élève-professeur.

Strategii educaţionale inclusive

pentru persoanele cu dizabilităţi

Gabriela Ciot

Abstract: Educational inclusive strategies for persons with disabilities

The image of building community implies a way to do it. Conscious community develops when people thoughtfully relate cycles of person to person learning to the elaboration of a social architecture that expresses and supports that learning (Senge, 1994). Learning to build community means linking person to person learning to social architecture (O'Brien, O'Brien, 1995). Education leads children and adults out of comfortable routines and into the challenges and the pleasures of drawing on the lessons encoded in human tools and human texts to face life's realities. Education happens in company with others, and the gifts and fallibility's of other members of the company shape the extent and the texture of each member's growth. Schooling will offer people more resources for their education when adults and students collaborate to build conscious community to sustain the work of the school, even though this means growing past the myth of complete control of childhood. Students with disabilities and their parents can liberate and organize much creativity in the school community. All that is required is the courage to renegotiate familiar boundaries, relationships and structures, and the constancy to learn the way through the difficulties that arise and the fidelity to renew the sense of community when it is threatened.

Maintaining the building community ideal, this paper will focus on presenting some of the inclusive strategies, from which the most important are: Person Centered Planning, MAPS, Essential Lifestyle Planning and Circle of Support. This paper will offer examples for all professionals that are working daily with people with disabilities, in order to find suitable solutions by adapting these strategies to the Romanian realities.

Asupra conceptului de violenţă în sport

Dan Ioan Dascălu

Abstract: A Few Considerations about the Concept of Violence in Sport

In contemporary societies, sports occupy an increasingly important position – they have become a mass phenomenon which involves an ever larger number of people, both as athletes and viewers. Unfortunately, the phenomenon of violence in sport is still very much present, as it occasionally surges, assuming various forms, taking place inside and outside arenas, involving athletes or viewers, sometimes with dire consequences, despite the efforts sustained by various authorities with a view to eliminating or containing manifestations of violence in sport Under the circumstances, over the last couple of decades, the scholarly community have met with sympathy the increasingly numerous efforts to scrutinize the sports violence phenomenon, to identify and typologize its forms of manifestation, its generating causes, and its conditions of apparition and manifestation, as well as the consequences it has upon the actors involved, upon collectivities, and especially upon society, so as to securely configure solutions for intervention and policies aimed at eliminating or containing sports violence.

Actual and theoretical research done so far in this field has allowed for a sketching of the violence in sport concept. Our paper advances a set of considerations upon this concept and upon the means to operationalize it, so as to shape it as a useful theoretical tool for future actual research in the field.

Motivarea elevilor în învăţământul modern

Ştefan Sonea

Abstract: Motivating Students in Modern Education

Modern education focuses on students rather on teacher's needs, observing the students values and aspirations.

The student's focused education relies on observing every pupil's needs and aspiration.

Problem solving lesson, the experiment, and student' stimulation in problem solving has to focus to both judgment and emotion. A positive attitude, a positive emotion toward the lesson, teacher, the subject learned is usually crucial for success.

The student involvement, trough problem solving groups, active involvement, positive values formation, pattern retention and their change in thinking are pillars and common tools. The transfer structure of knowledge must to be well illustrated and strong enough to become pattern of continuous learning and education in a changing world.

The teacher become a facilitator of learning trough students involvement, promoting classroom discussion, finding out what the students are thinking, helping them clarify and reflect upon their ideas, challenging students' ideas, giving them feedback, bringing them to think.
