Analyzing Pedagogical Routines in the Upper Secondary School Teacher’s Discourse Using the Commognitive Aproach
No full textIn this work, we investigated through a case study the pedagogical discourse of the upper secondary school teacher when introducing the derivative concept. The subject was selected considering her experience and expertise in the field of mathematics education. Eleven class sessions were audio and video recorded, and three of them were transcribed verbatim for analysis. The theoretical framework used in the analysis was the sociocultural theory of commognition (Sfard, 2008). Specifically, we focused on identifying one of the properties of discourse, routines, which are repetitive patterns that can be inferred by observing the rest of the properties (i.e., word use, visual mediators, and narratives). Thus, some subtypes of explanation and motivation routines that complement those appearing in the work by Viirman (2015) were identified and classified: exemplification, use of personified language, use of paraphrases and synonyms, promotion of autonomy in learning, variation, outline, location, linking concepts and reference to difficulty. Likewise, we distinguished among them which are more typical of the transition stage to university than of previous courses and vice versa, as well as which of them can be used by teachers to help students to be successful in their transition to university
Managerial Preparation in Context of Learning Styles Preferences of Future Managers
No full textCurrently is necessary to identify own way of cognition and information processing, so called the cognitive style, which is connected with learning style. Contribution contains theoretical information about many typologies of learning styles (e.g.. according to brain hemispheres dominance, intelligence, learning motivation, etc.) and research is focused on typlogy of D. A. Kolb (divergator, assimilator, convergator and accomodator). Aim of the research is to analyze preference of learning styles of future managers, to identify correlations between learning styles preference and chosen features of future managers, advantages and disadvantages. of distance education and to suggest some possibilities of learning styles development by methods of creativity development.

Profiles, Differences, and Roles of Learners’ Agency in English Learning in Thailand
No full textHuman agency theory has been known for more than two decades, but the applications in EFL learning are still insufficiently researched and the roles in enhancing English proficiency are still little explored. This study, thus, examined learners’ agency in English learning and investigated the role in English proficiency. Using a quantitative research design, it collected data from 13 nonEnglish disciplines of schools at a university in the south of Thailand. The total number of participants was 389 undergraduate students (22.4% male; 76.9% female; .8% prefer not to say) involving 43.4% 2nd and 56.6% 1st-year students with levels of proficiency ranging from A1 to B1 in the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). The data were analysed by using descriptive statistics, independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, bivariate correlation, multiple linear regression, and mediation analysis. The results indicated a higher level of learners’ agency for learning with some variations by year of study and proficiency level. Thai EFL learners’ agency for learning had predictive roles on their proficiency, yet no potential mediators were observe
