Preservice Teacher Professional Identity: Influence of the Teacher Educator and the Teacher Education Model
(ARIZONA STATE UNIV, MARY LOU FULTON TEACHERS COLL, 2023) Cuadra-Martinez David, Castro-Carrasco Pablo, Oyanadel-Veliz Cristian, Gonzalez-Palta Ingrid, Zivkovic Predrag, Sandoval-Diaz Jose, Perez-Zapata Daniel
The objective of this study is to estimate the association between the following variables: teacher professional identity, the teacher education model adopted, the type of teacher educator, and academic progression of teacher education students. A purposive and convenience sampling process was used to recruit 662 preservice teachers attending teacher education programs at three Chilean universities. A sociodemographic survey and teacher professional identity scale were administered to these preservice students. Data were analysed using Spearman correlation, the Kruskal-Wallis test, and multiple linear regression. Results how different types of teacher educator profiles and teacher education models positively correlate with professional identity; furthermore, levels of professional identity were found to differ in connection with students' level (year) within their teacher education program. It was also found that the profile of teacher trainers, who are also schoolteachers, and the critical-intellectual educational model are predictors of teacher professional identity. In the discussion, these results are analysed based on the literature.
Towards a comprehensive musical education: analysis of a proposal from traditional music in four Chilean schools
(UNIV RIOJA, DEPT EXPRESION ARTISTICA, 2023) Valverde Ximena, Rossel Raul Jorquera, Casals Albert
Music education in Chile has yet to focus and deepen the possibilities that the use of traditional music can have as an interdisciplinary learning resource. As a result of this problem, this research focused on the relevance and value that traditional music can have as a comprehensive and interdisciplinary learning tool in formal music education. The research analyzed the implementation and results of a proposal for the sixth year of basic education with a pedagogical approach based on the idea that the music that we transfer to formal education cannot be separated from the experiences, activities, knowledge and socio-cultural implications that give them meaning in their contexts of origin. Through collaborative action research, the proposal was carried out in four centers and the perceptions of the collaborating teaching staff were analyzed. The results show that the inclusion of these types of music can enrich the learning process from an integrating conception of knowledge, considering the indivisibility of the musiccontext-society triad.
Community engagement: A bibliometric analysis in the university context
(MINISTRY EDUCATION & SCIENCE, 2023/12/01) Araya-Pizarro Sebastian, Verelst Nando
Modern universities have the task of transferring skills, knowledge and val-ues, that serves the students to engage with societal and environment chal-lenges. This research aims to examine the research landscape in the field of university-community engagement. Methodology: A longitudinal descriptive bibliometric examination of the scientific literature published during the period 2017-2021, was applied. Data were obtained through the search in the Scopus and Web of Science databases, using the PRISMA declaration for systematic reviews. Bibliometric indicators were calculated to describe the production, dis-persion, distribution and growth of the articles. Through bibliometric mapping, the co-occurrence networks of the most used terms and citations were explored. A thematic analysis was also performed using the categorization scheme of Callon et al. (1991). To analyze the data, the Bibliometrix R package and the Biblioshiny application were used, and the VOSviewer software were used to visualize the outputs of the network analysis. Results: There were 404 articles, which received 431 citations, mostly from the United States of America (277), with an average of 8 citations per document. The annual growth of the literature was 29%, with an exponential adjustment trend (R2= .93). Most of the authors published only one article (93%), mostly in the areas of education and health.

Cross-disciplinary language changes in 4th graders as a predictor of the quality of written scientific explanation
(UNIV ANTWERP, 2023/06/01) Meneses Alejandra, Montenegro Maximiliano, Acevedo Daniela, Figueroa Javiera, Hugo Evelyn
Upper elementary students face conceptual and linguistic challenges when writing in science. One way to scaffold science writing is the explicit teaching of cross-disciplinary language. Limited research has explored the dynamics of these language changes in instructional contexts. This study examines the micro-developmental changes in cross -disciplinary language skills and their contributions to the quality of 191 science explanations written by 65 fourth graders that participated in language and literacy-based instruction. The instruction's pedagogical design was focused on writing-to-learn and learning-to-write the scientific explanation genre. Each student wrote an initial, a scaffolded draft, and a final explanation that was scored for scientific quality and productive cross-disciplinary language skills. Students' prior and final scientific knowledge was also measured. The results showed large instruction size effects on the scientific quality (0.71), productive cross-disciplinary language skills (0.46), and explanation length (0.64). Stepwise regression analysis showed that prior and final science knowledge and productive cross-disciplinary language skills significantly predict the quality of the final explanation (R2 = .704, F(11,38) = 9.03, p < .000). This research offers evidence of the dynamic relationships between language, literacy, and science in contexts of explicit cross-disciplinary language instruction for disciplinary literacy and learning.
Remote teaching and pandemic: perceptions of university professors from the Coquimbo region, Chile
(UNIV REPUBLICA, COMISION SECTORIAL ENSENANZA, 2023) Dibona Paula, Miranda Florencia, Mondaca Gabriel, Matamoros Scarlet, Marin Fernanda
The main aim of this phenomenological study was to understand the perceptions of academics from the Faculty of Humanities of a state university in relation to remote teaching. The findings show that the restrictive measures of the pandemic affected teachers' mental health more than factors related to remote teaching. They were also affected by the lack of interaction with their students, who keep their cameras turned off. Teachers showed good adaptability to changes in this context, and applied methodological changes and self-care strategies. Despite the fact that more time is required to prepare teaching material, most of them indicate that there are no problems in the distribution of time. It is concluded that the objectives of the research have been achieved, however, the conclusions could be limited. It is recommended that further studies address teachers' perceptions of the future of higher education and conduct less structured interviews that consider gender and age.
Self-regulation of Learning in First Year Law Students: A preexperimental design
(UNIV CHILE, FAC DERECHO, 2023) Apablaza Carmen Gloria Covarrubias, Alfaro Maribel Veas, Marino Israel Gonzalez
The objective of this study was to analyze the effect on the self -regula-tion of learning in a group of first-year university students, after completing the subject Workshop on Study Techniques and Methodologies of the Law degree at the Central University of Chile, Coquimbo Region. The methodology is quantitative, with a pre -ex-perimental pretest-posttest design with a group, and cross-sectional data collection. The non-probabilistic and intentional sample consisted of 59 students for the pretest and 59 for the posttest, who answered the Inventory of self-regulation strategies in univer-sity students by Cleary and Platten at the beginning and end of the course. The results of both measurements revealed few differences for the actions of the students in the information search dimension, while in the organization of the task it is possible to appreciate increases. The need to strengthen the self-regulation of learning in first-year law students with systematic and intentional actions emanating from the institution and teaching is concluded.
Framing Teacher Identity in an Era of Accountability: Media and Teachers' Narratives in Chile
(ARIZONA STATE UNIV, MARY LOU FULTON TEACHERS COLL, 2023) Cabalin Cristian, Andrada Pablo
This article presents the main results of a research project that aims to analyze teachers' perceptions of media discourses and how those discourses influence their teacher identity. Based on focus groups with teachers from public, charter, and private schools in the Metropolitan Region of Chile, this study shows that teachers' identities are results of their experiences, the audit culture context, and media discourses. However, in order to combat negative media discourse representations, teachers need to re-frame the conversation by becoming aware of media discourses and creating counternarratives to reposition themselves in society.
The moderating role of aesthetics and information quality for acceptance of augmented reality
(ROUTLEDGE JOURNALS, TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2023/10/01) Alvarez-Marin Alejandro, Velazquez-Iturbide J. Angel, Castillo-Vergara Mauricio, Acuna-Opazo Christian
This study explores the moderating role of aesthetics and information quality on the technological acceptance of augmented reality. A technology acceptance model with the following variables was used: perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, attitude towards using, and behavioural intention to use. Analysis was conducted by using structural equation modelling and a participation of 90 engineering students. Participants used an augmented-reality app for electrical resistive circuits, which works as a virtual laboratory. The app allows manipulating circuit elements and computing voltage and amperage values using the loop method, applying Kirchhoff's voltage law. The results suggest that aesthetics and information quality influence attitudes towards use. These findings show the importance of aesthetics and information quality in accepting augmented reality apps; therefore, designers and developers should consider these factors. This type of study has not been investigated previously.
Mapping the astronomy content knowledge of Chilean in-service teachers
(ROUTLEDGE JOURNALS, TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2023/04/13) Rodrigues Lara, Montenegro Maximiliano, Meneses Alejandra
This paper reports a mapping of the astronomy content knowledge held by a sample of 171 Chilean in-service teachers, both from primary and secondary education, using a multiple-choice test. The responses were analysed by total achievement, and the proportion of alternative conceptions for each item was identified. Moreover, the test items were divided by Big Ideas in Astronomy and curricular topics to analyse teachers' performance by subject, and the effect of some demographic factors was calculated. The results show a relatively low level of astronomy content knowledge and a considerable presence of alternative conceptions amongst Chilean in-service teachers, especially in day-to-day topics like diurnal motion, seasons, and Moon phases. Furthermore, we detected a significant effect on secondary teachers' performance depending on their teaching degree and on primary teachers' performance concerning their gender and previous participation in astronomy professional development programmes. Our outcomes offer evidence to improve astronomy teacher training, especially in the Chilean context, and contribute to the still scarce astronomy education research from the country.
