Abstract:
This study explores the aspirations of secondary education master's students regarding their teaching
methodologies and educational approaches. Building upon a previous investigation into the teaching
practices observed during a 200-hour internship, the current study analyses responses from students
regarding the type of teacher they aspire to become. The focus is on identifying overarching themes
related to student-centered learning, communicative language teaching, motivation, respect,
collaborative teaching, individualized instruction, cooperative learning, active learning methodologies,
the integration of innovative and traditional methods, and the promotion of critical thinking. The
insights are contextualized within established educational theories and practices, drawing from
influential scholars. The findings highlight a contemporary and dynamic vision for education that
emphasizes inclusivity, engagement, technology integration, and the application of diverse
instructional methods to meet the diverse needs of students. |
