Hi everyone!
This new space is here for you to post the CORRECT FINAL VERSION of your definitions for PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT. Only include the academic definitions; not your team definitions, this time.
Please remember that this contribution has to be mistake-free in order to get 100% of your grade. A faulty contribution will give you a ZERO in your first partial grade for this semester, as it was agreed upon in class this week.
I shall include here the website where you can find the APA Style handbook
http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/
All the best and see you next week! Lupita

ReplyDeleteDíaz’s (2004) vision of the concept says that:
ReplyDeleteEffective professional development should be understood as a job-embedded commitment that teachers make in order to further the purpose of the profession while addressing their own particular needs. It should follow the principles that guide the learning practices of experienced adults, in teaching communities that foster cooperation and shared expertise. (p. 5)
Jasper (2006) citing Benner says the following:
Professional development means to advance ourselves as professional practitioners. It assumes that all professionals will continue to develop throughout their working lives- from becoming a student practitioner, to specialized and advanced practice. It assumes that they will progress beyond the levels of competence assumed at registration and qualification and become proficient or even expert practitioners. (p. 2)
Megginson’s (2003) view states that:
Continuing Professional Development is a process by which individuals take control of their own learning and development, by engaging in an on-going action process of reflection and action. This process is empowering and exciting and can stimulate people to achieve their aspirations and move toward their dreams. (p. 5)

ReplyDeleteHere is my newest post although I've got some issues with the long quotations, so I'll bring my quotations printed, see ya tomorrow!! =) GBY!
ReplyDelete1. "Development generally refers to general growth not focused on a specific job. It serves a long-term goal and seeks to facilitate growth of teachers understanding of teaching and themselves as teachers" (Richards & Farrell, 2005, p. 4).
2. "La profesionalización de los docentes se ha 'indicado ' ... ,básicamente, a través de tres actividades profesionales: el perfeccionamiento permanente de los profesores, el análisis de su práctica y la investigación en el aula" (Fernández, 2000, p. 188).
3.
For continuing career growth and individualized development, Richards and Nunan (1990) found that primary goals are:
-a knowledge of the theoretical base of the
field in language learning and classroom
research;
-informed knowledge of self and students;
-attitudes of flexibility and openness to
change;
-decision-making and communication skills;
-the analytical skills necessary for
assessing different teaching situations and
the changing conditions in a classroom;
-awareness of alternative teaching
approaches and the ability to put these
into practice;
-the confidence and the skills to alter
one's teaching approach as needed;
-practical experience with different
teaching approaches. (p. 150)

ReplyDeleteHello...after this long long free days, here are the definitions I found:
ReplyDelete"Professional development is defined as those processes and activities designed to enhance the professional knowledge, skills, and attitudes of educators so that they might, in turn, improve the learning of students" (Guskey, 2000, p. 16).
Gaff, Festa, and Gaff (1978) said:
The term no longer refers merely to activities that update and upgrade knowledge of a subject matter; professional development now incorporates more direct attempts to improve instruction, plan continuous career development, fashion mutually beneficial relationships with the institution, and even foster aspects of personal development. (p. 8)
Zepeda (2008) says in her book:
Professional development leads to better instruction, and improve student learning when it connects to the curriculum materials that teachers use, the district and academic standards that guide their work, and the assessment and accountability measures that evaluate their success. (p. 15)

ReplyDeleteAccording to Jasper (2006), “Professional development means to advance ourselves as professional practitioners. It assumes that all professionals will continue to develop throughout their working lives” (p. 2).
ReplyDeleteAccording to Lindstrom (2004), “Professional development is an ongoing sustainable process that builds collaboration, generates and shares professional knowledge, uses current research, and informs the daily work of teachers and leaders” (p. 10).
According to Zuber-Skerritt (1997), “The role of professional development must be to identify the skills and competencies of academics which are required to help students develop their skills needed in the future, and then to design appropriate strategies and methods to develop those skills” (p .210).

Richards and Farrell(2005)stated that:
ReplyDeleteDevelopment generally refers to general growth not focused on a specific job.It serves a longer-term goal and seeks to facilitate growth of teachers' understanding of teaching an of themeslves as teachers. It often involves examining different dimensions of a teacher's practice as a basis for refkective review and can hence be seen as bottom-up. (p.4)
Paquay, Altet, Charlier and Perrenoud(2005)say that:
Esta serie nos permite apenas precisar que el profesionalismo de un maestro se caracteriza, indiscutiblemente, por el dominio de conocimientos profesionales diversos (los conocimientos que se enseñan los criterios utilizados en el análisis de situaciones, los conociemientos relativos a métodos de enseñanza, etc. ), pero también por los esquemas de percepción, análisis, decisión, planificación y evaluación...que permiten al maestro combinar su conocimientos en una situación determinada. (p. 13).
"Within the framework of teaching as profession, teacher preparation aims at the development of a certain level of competency for all individuals, while underscoring the imprtance of of individualized professional growth throughout the teaching carrer" (Richards & Nunan, 1990, p. 134)

ReplyDeleteCalhoun & Joyce (2010), created their own definition of professional development: "We imposed a definition of professional development as formal provisions by organizations of ways of helping teacher and administrators develop a better workplace and enhance their knowledge and competence in their assigned roles" (p. 10) .
Guskey (2000), has defined professional development as follows: "Professional development is defined as those processes and activities designed to enhance the professional knowledge, skills and attitudes of educators, so that they might, in turn, improve the learning of students" (p. 16) .
According to Teitel (2003), "Professional Development promotes learning by improving schools, preparing new teachers in better ways, supporting the growth and development of all educators, and using inquiry and research to see what is working well and what is not" (p. xvii) .

ReplyDeleteFernández (2002) says that “el desarrollo profesional es el proceso por el que las personas progresan a través de una serie de etapas caracterizadas por distintas tareas de desarrollo, actividades y relaciones” (p. 67).
According to Imbernán (1999), professional development “se define como la revisión y el perfeccionamiento de los procesos que mejoran la situación laboral, el conocimiento profesional, las habilidades y las actitudes” (p. 61).
Villa and Yañez define it as the “proceso de formación continua a lo largo de toda la vida profesional que produce un cambio y mejora de las conductas docentes, en la forma de pensar, valorar y actuar sobre la enseñanza” (as cited in De Miguel et al., 1996, p. 19).

"Professional development means that professionals as adults, already have a range of experiences on which to draw and build. Further learning can take place in all sorts of situations and from many different kinds of experiences, both in formal education or through informal interactions" (Alsop, 2000, p. 75).
ReplyDelete"Professional development is a deliberate process, guided by a clear vision of purposes and planned goals" (Guskey, 2000, p. 17).
"Professional development is a lifelong, collaborate learning process that nourishes the growth of individuals, teams, and the school through a daily, job embedded, learner-centered, focused approach" (Lindstrom, 2004, p. 10).

Lawn & Ozga (2004) stated that:
ReplyDeleteLa proletarización del trabajo implica una serie de aspectos diferentes. El principal de ellos es, evidentemente la pérdida de habilidad u oficio o de conocimiento tradicional. Se trata de un proceso continuo que puede experimentar cambios repentinos y movimientos bruscos, dependiendo del cambio tecnológico y de sus aplicaciones, de la naturaleza del proceso de producción y de la ideología e historia de la fuerza laboral. (p. 33)
Müller´s (2008) study states that:
Al considerar la extrema complejidad del mundo contemporáneo, los vertiginosos cambios históricos y socioculturales que, a su vez, modifican los escenarios de todas las instituciones e impactan en las subjetividades, la formación continua que se demanda a docentes y a otros profesionales del sistema educativo requiere nuevos paradigmas y nuevos aportes teóricos para sostener y desarrollar las funciones de enseñar, seguir aprendiendo, orientar y acompañar tutorialmente. (p. 57)
Richards´s (1998) study found the following:
Reflection and inquiry are key components of teacher development. The skills of self-inquiry and critical thinking are seen as central for continued professional growth, and can help teachers more beyond a level where they are guided largely by impulse, intuition or routine. (p. 21)
