The S-L event I (PedTut I) had duration of 3 weeks. The initial platform was constructed as an online reflection tool. Students had to answer a short reflection diary, once a week, after the class they taught. The diary items were related to situations encountered during practice: positive experiences, difficulties, conflicts, problem-solving strategies they used, alternatives they used, worry thoughts and a text area field where they could ask for advice on methodological issues. Diary was individually completed 3 times, during the first 3 weeks of practice. In maximum 24 hours from the completion, students received email feedback from the tutor. PedTut II will extend PedTut I based on the needs identified in the qualitative analysis of the comments of PedTut I participants (diagnosis and planning), on different methodological teaching aspects and emotional management. Modules will focus on both the instructive-educative process (held by pedagogy tutors) and psycho-social aspects associated to the teaching process (held by psychology students). The execution of e-tutorial will be as follows: videos will be composed of modules that address different educational topics (30 minutes per module), that the tutor-students will have to prepare together with the coordinators’ team. The program will be hosted either by PedTut or by a free access platform. The speakers in the e-tutorial will be older students and we have also considered a few educational experts (school principals or inspectors). |
