Pràctica reflexiva en interacció: la retroacció entre tutors i tutoritzats a les pràctiques formatives de postgrau  

Member

This research project is carried out by the UB members of the RealTIC research group,  some of whom have been researching reflective practice in the teaching and learning of foreign languages ​​for several years. 

The main objective is to understand how reflective practice is developed in the interactions between tutors and pre-service teachers of Spanish in their Practicum period, how their professional development is established based on tutoring, and what discursive strategies tutors use when giving them feedback. 

The data will help us to know how their interventions develop in the interactions that take place after the teaching practice of the pre-service teacher in their Practicum training. The results of the research will serve to better understand the tutoring processes in the training of ELE teachers, what tutoring implications have for teacher training, and how good tutoring practices are carried out.

Gamificación y TIC para el desarrollo de la competencia comunicativa en la enseñanza de lenguas extranjeras: análisis de intervenciones didácticas  

Principal investigator

This research project aims to deepen the analysis of gamified didactic proposals that use ICT in the field of foreign language teaching and how they influence the development of students communicative competence. For this purpose, after conducting a teacher training course on gamification and the use of ICT in the classroom of foreign languages, an analysis of the implementations of the gamified teaching units designed by the language teachers attending the course will be carried out following a DBR approach. Recording  classes under the methodological parameters of educational ethnography will enable an analysis of the gamified didactic proposals, of the teacher's performance in their implementation process and of the activities that the students carry out. In addition, the perception of teachers and students, based on a series of questionnaires and interviews with the participants, can also be analysed in relation to the gamified didactic proposals with the use of ICT and gamification in general. Thus, the various analyses proposed in this research project will allow us in depth knowledge of how teachers carry out gamified didactic interventions, the interrelation between the development of communicative competence, the use of ICT and gamification in the foreign language classroom and, ultimately, offer a better understanding of the pedagogical affordances of this methodological strategy.
