Socioemotional competencies and behaviour management at school: An exploratory socio-educational intervention

Socioemotional competencies are based on self-knowledge, self-regulation, social awareness, relational skills and responsible decision-making, presenting a close relationship with the efficient management of behaviours in the classroom. In collaboration with 3 schools in the interior of Portugal, an exploratory socio-educational intervention project was developed over a period of 3 months, with the purpose of promoting the socioemotional competencies of 41 primary school children, as a basis for building classroom behaviour management strategies that would facilitate the teachers’ educational action. The intervention involved a process based on collaborative work between teachers, psychologists and educologists, having been able to produce 8 activities that promote socioemotional competencies. Ethnographic procedures, namely, the use of participant observation, field notes and informal interviews, were used to produce scientifically valid and socially useful knowledge. The results show that each activity works on more than one socioemotional skill. The data allowed to outline 6 efficient strategies to manage classroom behaviour. This exploratory project, besides contributing to enriching the educational project of these schools, proved to be a production of knowledge capable of contributing to filling the gap in terms of guidelines for socioemotional education in Portugal based on field evidence

Exploring Pedagogical Content Knowledge of Teachers: a Paradigm For Measuring Teacher’s Effectiveness

When considering the present and the future of education, it is hard to ignore the importance of teachers' subject-matter expertise. Educators' pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) is crucial to the development of effective teaching practises and the implementation of effective curricula. Since PCK permits the integration of content and pedagogy, it has the potential to have a profound and long-lasting effect on students' academic performance. For educators to do their jobs well, they need to have a firm grip of relevant information, concepts, principles, and methods. This understanding will serve as a guide for appropriate pedagogical thinking and decision making. The pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) that is part of both the art and science of teaching, however, can be difficult to understand and evaluate. Classroom observations, content representations (CoRes), pedagogical and professional experience registries (PaP-eRs), structured and semi-structured interviews, stimulated recall interviews, artefacts from teachers' tasks, concept mapping, reflective journals, tests, and lesson observations are just a few of the complex and specialised procedures required to measure PCK. Paper and pencil assessments have been hailed as a potentially useful instrument for determining PCK due to the fact that they are a trustworthy, objective, and valid procedure that may be utilised with a greater volume of samples. The easiest way to obtain PCK data for triangulation purposes from several sources is to use a combination of these approaches
