“…On a brighter note, the awareness of the active and agency role of teachers in PLCs is a good indicator of their success. This awareness values teachers as knowledge builders instead of service providers (Imant & Van der Wal, 2020); teachers are experts, decision makers and agents of their professional development and growth (Lopes & D' Ambrosio, 2016). As such, teachers need to shift their focus on teaching to that of learning.…”

The main objective of the study was to examine the implementation of Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) in Malaysian secondary schools. The study was conducted by using quantitative method whereby a total of 971 principals, senior assistants and teachers were involved in the survey. The descriptive statistical analysis was employed to obtain scores and means whereas the t-test and ANOVA were adopted to test the significance of the concerned variables. The result revealed that, i) the schools were rated as Quite Good in practising PLCs; ii) comparing the two dimensions of PLCs, Organizational Factor achieved a higher mean score than Non-organizational Factor; iii) among all the sub-dimensions, Principals’ Commitment and Support achieved the highest whereas External Support System achieved the lowest mean score. The study summarized that although contextual factors such as decentralized school system, the policy environment and teachers’ workload are potential factors that might impact the development of PLCs, the incompetence of the teachers in practising Collaborative Learning, Collective Inquiry and Reflective Dialogue would significantly hinder their professional practices in PLCs. The study offers an analysis in exploring PLCs towards sustained school improvement and may help move the current available literature to a more coherent, theoretical perspective for practical engagement. Keywords: Collective inquiry, External support system, Principals’ commitment and support, Professional learning communities, Reflective dialogue

“…Além disso, tais atitudes deveriam incentivar à aprendizagem pela pesquisa, consolidando a relevância da interação entre o estudante e o seu orientador. A promoção de cursos de formação docente, bem como o desenvolvimento da motivação por aprender dos discentes poderia compor um panorama favorável à manifestação e ao desenvolvimento de ambientes mais criativos (ANTUNES; ALMEIDA, 2015;FERNÁNDEZ FERNÁNDEZ et al, 2012;SILVA, 2016;RIBEIRO;MORAES, 2014;SANTOS;FLEITH, 2015;TEIXEIRA;PASSOS;ARRUDA, 2015).…”

Neste artigo pretendemos apresentar algumas considerações sobre as pesquisas referentes aos contextos da criatividade, assumindo as suas possibilidades de aproximação com a Educação, em especial ao Ensino de Ciências e Matemática. Partimos da discussão do amplo caráter semântico apresentado pelo termo nas diversas áreas nas quais existem investigações sobre o assunto, discutindo também algumas orientações metodológicas empregadas pelos pesquisadores do fenômeno criativo. Além disso, discutimos no trabalho certas implicações entre criatividade e educação, especificamente suas relações aos contextos das escolas, bem como os seus potenciais reflexos nas práticas docentes. Finalizamos o artigo percebendo a necessidade de pesquisas mais amplas sobre a criatividade no Ensino de Ciências e Matemática, assim como sua maior significação nas instituições educacionais.

“…There is a need for teachers to engage in professional learning that will allow them to broaden their theoretical, methodological and pedagogical knowledge regarding the teaching and learning of probability and statistics (Campos et al, 2011;Souza, Lopes, & Pfannkuch, 2015). An experience by teachers in this process will give them greater autonomy over their pedagogical work, allowing them to make decisions based on consistent professional knowledge (Lopes & D'Ambrosio, 2016).…”

Statistics education has the potential to assist students to develop their identities and engage in problems and social contexts that assist in empowering them to act politically in the future. The actions and narrative reported in this paper seek to identify the way in which teachers could develop and implement statistical inquiries that utilize aspects of creative insubordination to enhance student learning experiences. This paper reports on two students who were supported to produce information and act politically on a problem founded in their social and cultural context. Reported practices in this research involved inquiry tasks that promoted collaborative exploration of ideas, data analysis, and reporting. Results evidence that teaching statistics through projects that focus on the development of political actions, Creative Insubordination, have the potential to improve students’ statistical skills. As a consequence, the students were able to go beyond being data producers and data consumers to being statisticians and political activists, a shift necessary for students to understand how data can be used to transform their lives and those of others.
