Studiu de caz pentru teoria atribuirii

I.
La nivel operational, obiectivele sunt definite intr-un mod concret prin comportamente
observabile i msurabile, mod n care s reflecte realizarea strategiilor i tacticilor
instruirii, pe de o parte, i s ofere imaginea concret a ceea ce va trebui evaluat, pe de alt
parte.
Tehnica lui R. Mager este cea mai utilizat tehnic de formulare a obiectivelor
operaionale i presupune respectarea a trei conditii:
1. Denumirea comportamentului observabil
2. Enunarea conditiilor n care elevii vor exersa i vor demonstra c au atins
comportamentul preconizat de obiectiv.
3. Criteriul de reuit, nivelul performantei acceptabile." Mager insista asupra conditiilor
materiale i mai puin asupra condiiilor psihologice.

Domeniul : Limba Englez. Gramatic
Prezentul Simplu
Clasa a VII-a
Ob: La sfritul leciei elevii vor fi n stare s defineasc Prezentul Simplu, s explice formarea
acestuia i s l utilizeze corect n propoziii.
De exemplu n cadrul Prezentului Simplu putem exemplifica ,, aplicarea i ,, nelegerea:
a) Precizarea comportamentului observabil
Pe baza axei timpurilor, elevii vor interpreta diferenele ntre aciunile trecute si ncheiate n trecut i
aciunile ncepute n trecut i care nc se deruleaz (influieneaz evenimente) n prezent.
b) Definirea conditiilor n care trebuie s se produc comportamentul (ce este dat; care sunt restrictiile
sau, totodata, i datele i restrictiile).
Pe baza exerciiilor date n manual sau pe fiele de lucru elevii practic utilizarea Prezentului
Simplu.
c) Criteriile performantei acceptabile. Mager insista asupra conditiilor materiale i mai puin asupra
condiiilor psihologice.
d) Obiectivul este realizat la nivel minim dac elevii numesc cel puin trei caracteristici ale prezentului
simplu i la nivel maxim dac elevii numesc 5 diferene ntre timpul trecut si prezentul simplu.

Domeniul : Limba Englez
Tipuri de scrisori de intenie
Clasa a X-a
Ob: La sfritul leciei elevii vor fi n stare s identifice caracteristicile diferitor tipuri de scrisori de
intenie: plngeri, invitaii, brouri, scrisoare de mulumire, etc. Obiectivul este realizat minimal dac
elevul precizeaz elementele introducerii, cuprinsului i ncheierii scrisorii i este maximal dac, n
plus, precizeaz cuvintele de legtur, expeditorul i destinatarul scrisorii, registrul folosit i gradul
de nemulumire exprimat, toate aceastea susinute prin exemple concrete din text.
Un asemenea exemplu ar putea fi pentru ,,analiz i ,,sintez:
a) Precizarea comportamentului observabil.

Elevii caut n manual sau n notie caracteristicile unui text de acest gen: scrisoare de intenie ( de
exemplu, elementele unei plngeri ctre administraia unui hotel)
b) Definirea condiiilor n care trebuie s se produc comportamentul (ce este dat; care sunt restrictiile

sau, totodata, i datele i restrictiile).

Elevii se rezum strict la coninului textului primit i selecteaz/transcriu pri corespunztoare
caracteristicilor enumerate.
c) Criteriile performantei acceptabile

Fia nr. 3

La sfritul leciei, elevii vor fi capabili:

-s identifice modaliti eficiente de subliniere
Activitatea: Sublinierea: skimming and scanning
Profesorul anun elevii c vor analiza 2 variante ale textului One
day in the Countryside (O zi la ar); coninutul este acelai, doar felul
n care este subliniat este diferit (cuvinte izolate/ pasaje ntregi/propoziia
principal etc.). Scopul activitatii este de a identifica eficiena de a
sublinia un text. Dup analizarea fiecrui tip de subliniere, profesorul va
discuta cu elevii care stil este mai efficient usurnd nelegerea i
organizarea textului.
Exerciii
1. Dup ce elevii au fost informai asupra continutului textului ,,One day in the countryside, acetia
sunt rugai s anticipeze ntrebrile care pot fi puse n cazul unei eventuale evaluri n funcie de cele
dou tipuri de subliniere (anticipare)
2. Realizai un jurnal n care s notai strategiile pe care le utilizai n rezolvarea sarcinilor primite
pentru acas iar la finalul fiecrei sarcini notai observaii cu privire la eficacitatea strategiei
respective i la cum altfel ai mai fi putut face.

Tipuri de cunotine din disciplina/disciplinele predate

Disciplina: Limba englez - gramatic
a) Cunotine declarative: definiii, situaii de comunicare coninut, relaie, context,
termenii raporturi ntre termeni, propoziii i raionamente caracterizare general, definirea i
clasificarea
Exemplu:
1. Clasificarea tipurilor de texte
2. Prezentul perfect
Prezentul perfect (Present perfect), este una dintre particularitatile limbii
engleze, acest timp nu are corespondent in limba romana.
Ca definitie, prezentul perfect exprima o actiune terminata in trecut sau o
actiune din trecut ce continua si in momentul prezent.
Acesta se formeaza cu prezentul auxiliarului have (have/ has) +
participiul trecut al verbului (regulat sau neregulat). Adesea,
auxiliarul have este folosit alaturi de subiect cu forma prescurtata 've.
b) Cunotine procedurale:
Cunotinele procedurale sunt cele care corespund unui anumit mod de aciune, ele intervin n
realizarea unei activiti, rspund unor obiective de tipul a ti s faci i cuprind ansambluri
structurale de reguli, secvene i operaii aplicabile ntr-o situaie determinat.
Exemple: nvarea prilor corpului prin cntece i artarea direct a acestora.
TPR (Total Physical Response)/ metoda rspunsului fizic total: Metoda are ca
scop reducerea stresului n nvarea unei limbi strine. Partea iniial a leciei const n
modelare, profesorul dnd comenzi, realiznd aciuni mpreun cu studenii. n a doua faz
a leciei studenii demonstreaz c au neles comenzile.
c) Cunotine condiionale (strategice): argumente i contraargumente n negociere i n rezolvarea de
conflicte/dezbateri.
d) Cunotine metacognitive: predara i utilizarea diferitelor metode de nvare

3. La alegere: un studiu de caz ilustrativ pentru teoria novici-experi sau teoria atribuirii.
Persoanele cu performane superioare ntr-un domeniu poart numele de experi, iar cei cu
performane modeste novici. A dezvolta inteligena nseamn a transforma novicii n experi
(Miclea, Lemeni, 1999, pag.75).

Problema diferenelor cognitive dintre novici i experi:

volumul i modul de organizare a cunotinelor;
puterea strategiilor rezolutive;
metacogniia;
adncimea procesrii informaiei;
capacitatea de transfer. (Miclea, Lemeni, 1999, pag.79).
A modifica sau mbunti performana inteligent nseamn a interveni la unul sau mai multe din
nivelele menionate.
Studiile comparative privind organizarea bazei de cunotine ntre novici i experi (persoane cu
niveluri de performan extreme), arat c experii sunt n general superiori novicilor n ceea ce
privete articularea cunotinelor conceptuale cu cele procedurale. n cazul experilor, cunotinele
declarative sunt n mare parte contextualizate, n sensul c le sunt asociate, la nivel mnezic, reguli de
producere. Altfel spus, chiar dac uneori nu se constat diferene semnificative ntre novici i experi
sub aspectul cunotinelor declarative dintr-un domeniu i nici mcar sub aspectul cunoaterii unor
reguli sau proceduri, cel mai adesea, condiiile de aplicabilitate ale acestora sunt mult mai bine
stpnite de experi.

Studiu de caz: Experiences of a Novice Language Teacher in Cyprus

As interviews enable participants to discuss their interpretations of the world in which they live,
and to express how they regard situations from their own point of view, we interviewed a novice
teacher at a university in Cyprus to have a deep understanding of particular challenges experienced
in the work of a novice language teacher (Cohen et al, 2000, p. 349). The participant was
purposefully selected within a criteriasampling frame. The interview was semi-structured. After the
initial determination of key questions, the interview protocol was revised based on expert
consultation. Interview data were transcribed. The analysis of the verbal protocols relied on open
coding. The interpretive process focused on the challenges experienced.

11

The novice teachers imagined identity of a good English teacher changed when she started teaching
and her perception of the todays language teacher was different from that of the past. When she was
asked how she would define an effective English teacher before starting teaching, the answer was:
A teacher who would give a lot of homework, teach grammar in a very organized way
using the board and ask his/her students take proper notes was an effective teacher for me.
However, now, it has changed a lotHow to make lessons fun We have shifted our focus
from grammar based teaching a bit. We are trying to fill the lesson with entertaining
activities.
The novices imagined identity started to transform into an identity aimed to meet the needs of the
changing world and the learners. What was emphasized here was that making lessons entertaining
has become very important for this novice teacher.
Another issue that needs to be elaborated on is when the novice teacher feels safe and successful in
class. In this regard, the participant stated: If everything I am supposed to cover is definite and I am
prepared for the lesson. She feels safe and successful in class when everything is specified and the
instructional procedures are completed accordingly. As can be understood from the response, the
flow of the lesson is very important for this novice teacher. Richards and Pennington (1998) also
found that novice teachers focused on covering the essential material efficiently and thoroughly in
their first years (p.186). As Pitton (2006) also underscored, the primary focus of novice teachers is to
complete the day-to-day work of teaching (p.36). The participant also noted that when the pace of
the program is slow and there is nothing to do, she experienced anxiety. She said: When there is
nothing in the program, I cannot decide what to do in class. And I feel weak those times You
have to follow something Mann and Tang (2012) had also referred to such feelings. When the
classes progress as novice teachers plan novice teachers feel relatively comfortable, but the situation
would change since they dont have a repertoire of pedagogical routines to deal with the
unexpected problems in the classroom. This might be the reason why the participant in this
exploratory study also continuously drew attention to the need for being ready for class and how she
felt weak when there was not much to do. Previous studies had also drawn attention to the criticality
of classroom management for novice teachers. As Ross et al. (2011) noted, strong classroom
management involves judgment and skills that are developed over time and with practice and
novices struggle with finding the balance between nurturing students and being authoritative (p. 7).
The participant also negotiated classroom management strategies. She said:
Sometimes, I can be very determined and say no to students. Then, I think it is not
necessary to be that strict with students...However, this leads to problems in the long run
because each time, the concessions I make are making the situation worse.

12

When asked to clarify these problems by giving examples, the participant described an event in
which she did not allow a latecomer to enter class at first. However, when the other students insisted,
she called the student. Although she allowed him to come to class, she warned the class not to
exploit her goodwill. She said:
Problems arise since I am a bit tolerant. Sometimes, I get angry with myself and I
become determined and strict in class, but then I think that there is no point in being obsessed
with this issue. As long as they respect me, understand the topic and listen to me when I teach
something important, there is no problem
As this vignette revealed, this participant experiences a conflict. On the one hand, she feels that there
is no need to be strict and authoritative. On the other hand, she is concerned that students would
exploit her goodwill. Students can tend to break the rules and ask for exceptions if they find that she
is constantly tolerant. When asked to give recommendations for induction programs, the participant
stated:
Observing a teacher contributes a lot to me During the induction period, every two
or three days, we could have observed teachersWhile observing others, you compare
yourself with the teacher.
These remarks reveal that the novice teacher finds observations crucial and expresses a need for
extending the duration of these opportunities for novice teachers. This finding is consistent with the
results of previous research. For example, Richards and Pennington (1998) also addressed the
importance of observations and noted:
Instruction alone- even instruction that espouses or demonstrates new philosophies or
innovative techniques- will not be sufficient to impact teachers practices substantially and
for the long term. What would perhaps more effective is an extended period of classroom
experience combined with repeated cycles of guided reflection (p.190).
The participant in the study also emphasized how useful observations were in the reflective thinking
process of novice teachers within their practices. While observing more experienced teachers,
novice teachers learn from them. As Good and Brophy (1987) noted, through observing how
teachers conduct their lessons, novice teachers can develop a repertoire of strategies and techniques
that they can apply in their own teaching (as cited in Richards, 1998, p.140). It is assumed that
acquiring skill in teaching and improving your teaching involves mastery of certain behaviors and
these can be seen in the lessons of good teachers. Therefore, observing experienced teachers can help
novice teachers distinguish between effective and ineffective strategies in class and contribute to
their development process. Fostering reflective observations are crucial in professional development
(Richards, 1998).

13

When discussing the challenges she encountered, the participant mainly discussed difficulties
in preparing materials for the students and managing teacher-student relationships. When asked to
talk about her sources of support, the novice teacher stated that she received support from her
partners (colleagues), her officemate and her husband. The nature of support was both psychological
and professional.
Psychological support. I also receive professional support from my office mate. Since
we teach the same classes and at the same time, my office mate shows the material she
prepares for her class makes my life easier
The participant also reported that her husband also provided substantial help for her especially with
the house chores. Furthermore, when she experiences a problem with the students in class, she talks
with her husband about it at home. She said:
If I have a problem with students that day- not very big problems but sometimes I
believe that my lessons are boring and this affects my life in the evening a lot. When I talk to
my husband, he says there is no point in exaggerating it. Students are never pleased, dont
take it personal
For this novice teacher, these conversations at home are likened to a therapy session. With such
help, she finds that she can reduce her stress levels and better prepare for the next day.
