Pre-service teachers' representations about children's learning: a pilot study
Full text linkBackground: Research on teachers' representations of children's learning is currently ongoing. Social representations are common-sense theories built and shared in everyday interactions. Their analysis can detect the possible differences between teachers’ naïve beliefs and scientific learning theories. Objective: The objective of this pilot study is to analyse the beliefs about children’s learning of a group of teachers. The beliefs will be related to the most acknowledged learning theories. Methods: A mixed methods research was employed to analyse 100 pre-service teachers’ representations of the origins of learning and the psychological processes involved. Results: It emerged from the results that the teachers interviewed consider children’s learning mainly as culturally acquired, which reveals the prevailing constructivist conception of learning. Many pre-service primary school teachers, however, tend to see learning as mere ‘transfer of information’; many pre-service kindergarten teachers perceive learning as ‘behaviour modification’. The most considered psychological aspects are ‘knowledge’ and ‘acquisition’, while emotions are barely considered. Conclusion: Linking implicit theories and disciplinary theories could support pre-service teachers in integrating the theory and the practice of learning so as to understand the way their models influence their educational choices

No full textSummary
Background - Numerous studies show that health care providers are at risk of burnout.
Variability linked to the unit in which they work, the presence of chronic and disabling
conditions and excessive contextual demands have been found. Few studies focus on
burnout in paediatric wards.
Objectives - To check for syndromes among doctors that work in the paediatric ward and
analyse the main protection factors.
Materials and methods - A questionnaire designed to reveal signs of burnout, a semi-structured
interview on protective factors against the risk of emotional exhaustion and depersonalization,
and software for the analysis of the content from the interviews. Qualitative
and quantitative survey carried out with doctors working in a paediatric ward (N=12).
Comparison of the levels of burnout with the averages of the Italian normative sample and
analysis of the content from the interviews.
Results - Participants have an average level of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization
and low personal accomplishment at work. No doctor is in full-blown burnout. The protective
factors identified from burnout are organizational, relational and individual. Among
the first factors were: organization at the hospital (efficiency and complexity of the service),
teamwork, relational climate, rationalization of emergency room visits and synergy
with GP paediatricians. Among the relational and individual factors were: relationships
with colleagues, personal space for patients, awareness of working with patients-children
and the love for their job.
Conclusions - The doctors surveyed dwell on the problems of both criticism and resources,
taking into account organizational and relational aspects. Studies confirm that burnout is not
a problem that affects only the individuals but also the broader context in which they work.Background - Numerous studies show that health care providers are at risk of burnout.
