(1162) LEADING A SIMULATION GAME FOR TEACHING GEOMETRY IN PRIMARY SCHOOL. AN OBSERVATION GRID FOR TEACHERS

摘要

Self-evaluation and reflectivity play a fundamental role in teacher training, innovation and thedevelopment of professional identity. Reflective practise may be further delineated as the teacher'sapproach to regularly analyse and reflect on practices and actions in order to deal better withproblematic situations and various types of behaviour and thus as a result increase self-knowledge.This paper presents an observation grid for self-evaluation entailing the leading of simulation gamesfor teaching geometry in primary school;;it is useful for monitoring the leading of the simulation gameprocess and highlighting specific areas to focus on and consolidate for personal professionaldevelopment.This observation grid was based on procedural gaming architecture and specifically on theoreticalmethodologicalchoices and the principal functions of leading, integrating task-oriented andrelationship-oriented leadership in the sphere of educational interaction.In order to validate the observation grid, two independent researchers examined 8 films of simulationgames and used observational indexes. The indexes proposed in order to evaluate intercoderagreement showed satisfactory results. Using these results, the grid was then slightly modified and acodebook was created to assist future users.
