Students' Experiences in Suddenly Transformed Living and Educational Environments by COVID-19.

This manuscript builds on research about how university students felt affected by the Covid19 pandemic and, especially, by the irruption of non-face-to-face classes and mixed teaching methods in this context. How have young people experienced this situation? How has it affected their wellbeing and the learning strategies should develop have had to incorporate into their virtual relationships? their virtual relationships? How have they related and relate to virtual tools for a task that they have always experienced face-to-face? To answer these questions, the TRAY-AP project that investigates how university students learn collected 89 scenes that show the effects of the Covid 19 on their lives and the university. We grouped these scenes into seven key concepts to detect how students were emotionally affected, especially by moving from face-to-face to virtual learning. From this analysis, although primarily negative, the emotional effects have also allowed them to generate positive strategies for readaptation and collaboration with other colleagues. All of which opens the way to rethink the predominant pedagogical and knowledge relations in the university.

Aprender a enseñar: la constitución de la identidad del profesor en la educación infantil y primaria / Learning to teach: building teacher identity in primary and children’s education / Aprender a ensinar: a constituição da identidade do professor na educação primária e infantil

El estudio acerca de la construcción de la identidad del profesor en los últimos 20 años ha mostrado la importancia de la formación y de las primeras experiencias docentes para el proceso de aprender a ser profesor. Las evidencias recogidas mediante el análisis de 23 microetnografías y 13 grupos focales, en que han participado un total de 88 profesores, siete de ellos especialistas en Educación Física, nos ha permitido explorar los componentes macro, meso y microsistemas en que los profesores interactúan y dan sentido a su aprender a enseñar. La discusión y contextualización de las experiencias de los docentes en relación a: (a) el ingreso a la formación, (b) la experiencia de la formación inicial y permanente, (c) el concepto de conocimiento y aprendizaje y (d) cómo han aprendido a enseñar, pone de manifiesto la complejidad de ser docente en los días actuales y nos posibilita elaborar recomendaciones para la mejora de la formación y de la inserción en las escuelas.

Studies on the construction of teacher identity in the past 20 years showed the importance of professional development and early teaching experiences for the process of learning how to be a teacher. Evidence was collected by conducting 23 micro-ethnographies and 13 focus groups, in which a total of 88 teachers participated, seven of whom were specialists in Physical Education. It allowed us to explore the components of the ‘macro’, ‘meso’ and ‘micro’ systems in which teachers interact and ascribe meaning to their learning of how to become teachers, and to how they have been constructed as teachers. The complexity involved in learning to be a teacher today was shown by discussion and contextualization of teachers’ experiences regarding: (a) starting their development; (b) experience with initial and continued training; (c) the notion of knowledge and learning; and (d) how they have been learning to teach, allowing us to make recommendations to improve teachers’ training and their placement in schools.

O estudo sobre a construção da identidade do professor nos últimos vinte anos destacou a importância da formação e das primeiras experiências docentes para o processo de aprender a ser professor. As evidências identificadas por meio da análise de 23 microetnografías e de 13 grupos focais, nos quais participaram um total de 88 professores, sete deles especialistas em Educação Física, nos permitiram explorar os componentes dos macro, meso e microsistemas em que os professores interagem e atribuem sentido ao seu aprender a ensinar e a como eles têm se constituído como professores. A discussão e a contextualização das experiências dos professores em relação a: (a) a entrada em formação, (b) a experiência da formação inicial e continuada, (c) o conceito de conhecimento e aprendizagem e (d) como eles têm aprendido a ensinar colocam em evidência a complexidade que implica ser docente hoje e nos possibilita elaborar recomendações para a melhoraria da formação e da inserção nas escolas.
