A short formative module on the theme of Time was proposed in meta-knowledge and experiential modalities to a class of Italian prospective primary school teachers. Time was chosen as a multisciplinary and complex subject since it is a fundamental concept which allows to construct a bridge between common sense and scientific knowledge. Using a rubric developed by the Udine research unit we investigated how pre-service teachers use the proposed elements on the concept of Time to construct an educational project and how they collect and organize the on-fly suggestions received in the context of a specific situation. A marked tendency towards classification and the need to work on the logical connections among concepts are the main interesting indications of this study.

Abstract

A short formative module on the theme of Time was proposed in meta-knowledge and experiential modalities to a class of Italian prospective primary school teachers. Time was chosen as a multisciplinary and complex subject since it is a fundamental concept which allows to construct a bridge between common sense and scientific knowledge. Using a rubric developed by the Udine research unit we investigated how pre-service teachers use the proposed elements on the concept of Time to construct an educational project and how they collect and organize the on-fly suggestions received in the context of a specific situation. A marked tendency towards classification and the need to work on the logical connections among concepts are the main interesting indications of this study.
