The Programme for the Integral Evaluation of Schools, for example, is established
through main objectives:
- to value learning and school experience of
pupils;
- to identify strengths and weaknesses in school performance;
- to lead
school to set up self-evaluation strategies to ensure educational
quality, to strengthen their autonomy and to engage school stakeholders
in school improvement;
- to contribute to educational accountability.
We can see that area «Teaching-learning processes» is
wery important. For this area in focuse are:
- The curicural projects
of school and classes;
- The classrom work, management;
- The learning;
- The teaching (strategy, assessement, resource, providing
for diferences, efficiency, development);
- The pedagogical climate,
educational support.
The teacher needs to have proficiency in subject area and teaching metodology,
a rich repertoire of metods and teacher has to be able to cooperate on
the problems of his own work, communicate within school and beyond. Various
metodical concept and educational support for pupils are linked with
pedagogical advices and all available resource for teaching and learning. «Teaching-learning» materials
are laboratory instruments, tools, textbooks, magazins, list of addresses
internet sites, movies, computers programs, computers presentations,
tests for evaluation and self-evaluation, list of projects, models physics
phenomena, network for exchange experiences and colaboration and other
metodical materials.
Teachers of physics today are encouraged to read and extract information
from a variety of sources including electronic media, textbooks and magazines
and to provide writtenor and verbal reports on what they have found out.
Today mayority of teachers are making their projects, examinations, presentations
for teaching and other materials, buth it is not widely announced. Perhaps,
teachers do not enough exchange their working materials with other colleagues,
schools, maybe they are not enough stimulated and motivated, maybe their
role now is such. For example, when we are solving any problem (program,
presentation,...), with pupils if possible, we are making our models
in many different ways, we are also learning and then we are very active
and creative.
Perhaps, teachers of science have a need for the teacher training center
whitch has special internet site with all their «teaching-learning» materials.
Teachers can always send computer programs, presentations and etc. for
this site and also download all materials from it. Teachers contributions,
without external control, can be put in ordered by number of visits and
downloads or have only code or something similar.
Through these and many other activities, the teacher develop the knowledge,
competencies, their experiences and valuable skills needed to «Teaching-learning
processes» and lifelong learning.-now and in future.
For example, I am sending one small contribution «Rays
diagram»,
geometrical optics, done in PowerPoit for approximately four hours.
