DESCRIPTION

Secondary teachers’ training has become one of the key elements in educational policies in Spain. For more than a decade, university and secondary education teachers have claimed the need to design specific and quality based training for professionals that wanted to become teachers in this specific level, giving special emphasis on the didactics and the psychological aspects involved in the process of teaching and learning with adolescents. In order to cope with this demand, a Master of Secondary School Teacher Training was designed at a national level with specific criteria. This master, as in other European countries, pretends to contribute to the development of the teaching competencies that are necessary to succeed in teaching at this complex educational level. It is addressed to different teaching disciplines, with a general psychopedagogical approach and specific teaching competencies for each domain (i.e. Mathematics, English, etc.) Specifically, at the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC) the master’s programme wants to contribute to the development of particular aspects such as: (a) Collaboration between novice teachers from different disciplines simulating the real context at schools. UOC’s programme, as coordinator of the pychopedagogical training modules addressed to students of different disciplines, has designed specific tasks that teach and demand students to collaborate between them as interdisciplinary teams. (b) ICT integration into the teaching and learning processes.

Past. How was designed Teacher’s training?

• A compulsory short training course.– Focus on WHAT to teach instead of HOW to teach.– No trust on the training (by students and

professionals).– Conceived as a formality.

• University and Secondary education teachers have been claiming the need to design specific and quality based training for more than a decade.

Present. What is the new approach?

• A compulsory 60 EC master programme.• Common structure for all disciplines/students.• Emphasis on the didactic and psycological-pedagogical

characteristics of teaching in each specific discipline: Maths, Biology, Literature, etc.

• Emphasis on the development of social and affective competencies to teach.

• Higher and deeper relationship between schools (teacher educator) and pre-service teachers.

Future. Which are the limitations and challenges?

• The design and structure of this programme is not enough flexible to contribute to the development of professional knowledge (different of academic knowledge).

• To develop a closer relationship between “teacher educator” and teaching practices.

• To contribute to the integration of ICT uses into everyday teaching-learning.
