Teaching science in Portugal: Let’s develop WIKIS!

Wisophia

This wiki was developed with 9th grade pupils (13-15 years) studying electrical circuits. Pupils’ work

was done in the classroom and at home, in groups and individually. The pupils developed their

pages on a whole class wiki. The Physics and Chemistry teacher collaborated with the English

teacher. In this wiki there are other examples of activities carried out with pupils.

Lab-interativo

This wiki was developed with 8th grade pupils (12-14 years) studying acids and bases. The pupils

developed their pages on a whole class wiki.

has a computer. They search information on the given theme n the internet and in books. They

discuss their findings in wiki and make a sum-up of them. During the following two lessons, each

group has a new task. All information is collected and discussed.

ENHANCEMENT OF DIGITAL AND COMMUNICATIVE COMPETENCES

THROUGH LEARNING SUBJECT CONTENT

Stefania Dugovicova,PhD.,Comenius University in Bratislava, Slovakia, dugovicova@fns.uniba.sk

An INTegral Teacher Training for developing digital and communicative competences and subject content

learning at schools (intTT)

The objective of the intTT European project is to offer student teachers tools to enhance digital (DC) and

communicative competences (CC) through learning of subject content (SC).

The specific aims of the project are to identify ICT tools for improving DC, CC and SC learning; to establish criteria

for the design and selection of teaching and learning methodologies; to select appropriate strategies for using theses

ICT tools, and to select appropriate strategies for supporting development of subject matter knowledge in physics,

chemistry, biology, language and literature, art and history.

Communicative language competence (CC)

Linguistic competence is concerned with knowledge of the language itself, i.e. knowledge of, and ability to use

spelling, pronunciation, vocabulary, word formation, morphology, syntax, stylistics, semantics.

Sociolinguistic competence is concerned with the knowledge and skills required to deal with social dimension of

language use. The matters treated are those specifically relating to language use: linguistic markers of social

relations, politeness conventions, expressions of folk-wisdom, register differences between varieties of language

used in different contexts, dialect and accent.

Pragmatic competence is concerned with the learner’s knowledge of the principles according to which messages

are organised, structured and arranged (= discourse competence); used to perform communicative functions (=

functional competence);

sequenced according to international and transactional schemata (= design competence).

Digital Competence (DC)

Digital competence involves the confident and critical use of information and communication technology (ICT). It

embraces the following types of skill:

Using data and information sources

Searching and selecting data

Organising and investigating data

Analysing processes

Assessing fitness for purpose

Refining and presenting information

Communicating

The concrete outcomes of the intTT project are methodologies (teaching methods/learning activities) and 6 CDs with

didactic activities and didactic suggestions for student teachers.
