Συμμετοχικές διδακτικές προσεγγίσεις και επικοινωνία στο σύγχρονο σχολείο: απόψεις και στάσεις Ελλήνων εκπαιδευτικών Δευτεροβάθμιας Εκπαίδευσης

Περίληψη

The present study examines the views of Greek secondary education teach­ers about the impact of specific participatory teaching approaches on the development of students' communication skills in the classroom. More specifically, it examines how often teachers implement conventional or innova­tive/participatory teaching strategies and how these techniques are consid­ered to boost up in-class communication. Moreover, it examines teachers' perceptions about how Curricula influence participation and communication and. finally, how group work can facilitate the development of communication skills. The research shows that Greek teachers recognize the importance of participation and communication in the classroom, but they are insecure, as regards the implementation of innovative/participatory teaching methods, due to Curricula's academic-orientation restrictions and due to lack of appropriate professional training.
