    A Personal Leadership Statement
    (2023-02-17) Pérez Ramos, Marisleysis; Díaz Rodriguez, Aslin Sofia; Pedro Pablo Aguas Castillo
    Leadership is fundamental in every field of study; it encourages people to make positive changes and help others collaborate to perform remarkable things. Different perspectives of leadership exist; when we are aware of the leadership that best suits our goals, we may successfully lead others, which improves everyone's performance and overall job accomplishment. Hence, this leadership statement will focus on teacher leadership; this perspective will help us contribute to education and achieve what we want to improve in educational settings as future teacher leaders, which is to increase teacher collaboration to enhance students’ learning process. As future teacher leaders, we prospectively plan to empower teachers by offering ongoing professional development and providing leadership opportunities; giving teachers the chance to lead professional development sessions, serve on committees, or take on other leadership roles, which can help them feel more invested in their work and provide a sense of ownership over their professional development.

    Construcción de la identidad profesional docente: estudio de casos desde las concepciones de los profesores
    (Universidad de Córdoba, 2023-03-7) López de Moreno, Amparo Esther; Pacheco Lora, Luis Carlos
    La investigación indagó sobre la construcción de la identidad profesional docente a partir de las concepciones de los profesores. Esta identidad resulta influenciada por los pensamientos que se construyen a partir de los múltiples escenarios y desafíos que plantea la labor docente. El objetivo del estudio fue analizar las concepciones sobre la construcción de la identidad docente a partir de las dimensiones personal, social y profesional del ejercicio de la docencia. Se utiliza una metodología cualitativa, con diseño de estudio de caso y técnica de entrevista en profundidad, para recolectar las narraciones de los docentes. En el proceso de análisis de la información se aplica el análisis de contenido y la interpretación de categorías emergentes. Los resultados muestran rasgos comunes y otros antagónicos en las concepciones referidas a la construcción de la identidad profesional, a partir de las experiencias que motivaron la elección de la profesión, los procesos de socialización en contacto con las instituciones de formación y de trabajo, el valor social de la labor y la percepción sobre el desarrollo y futuro del ejercicio docente.

    Developing efl learners’ study habits to improve communicative skills under the “Mentoring” program at Universidad de Córdoba
    (2023-07-26) Gil Vergara, Kamila Susana; Nieto Caballero, Jaime Arturo; Olga Lucía Galván Garcés
    This report describes the internship accomplished at the University of Cordoba in the Foreign Language Teaching Program under the Student Academic Accompaniment and Mentoring Program. It is intended to prevent student dropout and to bring down the level of desertion to maintain and stimulate the permanency of the students in the program. 15 learners who were studying Grammar and Communication from novice to upper intermediate level enrolled from first to fifth semester, were identified and presented academic needs mainly regarding study habits which affected their academic performance; they lacked a plan to study appropriately to improve their communicative skills, they also had some difficulties concerning the use of grammar in writing and listening tasks. Add to this, students had personal problems which caused them to stop paying attention in class or to attend classes. As many of them worked sometimes they did not have time to get home to study and they simply could not concentrate in class due to external problems. The methodology applied was principally founded on professional development to measure the different needs teachers encounter at different stages of their career; collaborative and cooperative learning which let the mentor and the mentee work together to achieve a common goal; also, the development of study habits which lead the learners to create and domain a set of behaviors to study more proficiently, and the implementation of adapting methodologies. The results confirmed that mentees could not only improve their communicative skills, but also their academic records in some way, likewise they realized the importance of having a plan to track progress and set goals.

    Exploring changes in teachers’ praxis when learning reading to learn (R2L)
    (2022-11-16) González Rodríguez, Estefany; Herazo, José David
    Reading to learn (R2L) is based on a set of strategies intended to qualify teachers to support their students during their learning process, in order to lead them to independent and successful creation of texts. This methodology has been implemented and researched around the world, considering different curriculum contexts, languages, and content areas. Nevertheless, the main concern of these studies has been learners’ reading and writing improvement based on this Genre-based pedagogy, paying less attention to teachers’ learning and implementation of R2L. This study presents an in-depth analysis of one in-service teacher’s appropriation of R2L for teaching spoken discourse in English as Foreign Language (EFFL) classroom. Specifically, the study describes the challenges and changes that might take place in teachers’ praxis as a result of this process. The study was conducted following a qualitative formative interventions (FI) design. Data were gathered through interviews and lesson observations. Analysis was carried out through activity systems analysis. Findings revealed changes in the teacher’s praxis referring to the object and tools and the contradictions she experienced when learning R2L that propelled such changes. This study will inform future professional development programs in R2L as well as expand our understanding of how R2L can be used for supporting learners’ spoken meaning-making in foreign language contexts.
