This forum article consists of commentaries-authored by Sumi Hagiwara, Maria S. Rivera Maulucci and Lizette Ramos-on the feature article by Virginia Jennings Bolshakova, Carla C. Johnson, and Charlene M. Czerniak. We reflect on a series of questions that take retrospective, introspective, and prospective views of self-efficacy in science education. We review selected studies that explore some of the historical developments and methodological approaches in the literature and examine a teacher-student self-efficacy system model that shows the ways in which teachers' and students' selfefficacy judgments are based upon multiple individual and shared components, such as identity and social interaction within the classroom and school. We close with a call for the design of measures of teacher-student self-efficacy systems, so that we can begin to tailor professional development experiences to the goals and motivations of individual and collective groups of teachers and students in ways that accommodate the unique cultural features of their classrooms and foster student self-efficacy.
RESUMEN: Este artículo plantea un enfoque metodológico fundamentado que permite caracterizar el discurso de la formación inicial del profesorado de ciencias de educación primaria desarrollado en un contexto AICLE (Aprendizaje Integrado de Contenido y Lengua Extranjera). A partir de una perspectiva sociocultural y utilizando las orientaciones del análisis conversacional, logramos analizar el discurso producido a través de la interacción en pequeños grupos durante el desarrollo de una actividad experimental en el ámbito de la modelización de los seres vivos, en la que los estudiantes utilizan tres lenguas: el catalán, el castellano y el inglés. Las estrategias de análisis incluyen la identificación de acciones discursivas y procesos discursivos en cada uno de los tres campos que caracterizan la acción comunicativa de los estudiantes: el campo de las ciencias, el campo de la lengua extranjera y el campo de la didáctica de las ciencias. Finalmente se identifican preguntas que orientan un análisis más profundo dentro de cada campo y a través de los campos, las cuales permiten abordar la pregunta inicial del trabajo: ¿Cómo se aprende didáctica de las ciencias en contextos AICLE? PALABRAS CLAVE: formación inicial del profesorado de ciencias, perspectiva sociocultural, contextos AICLE, análisis de la interacción, análisis conversacional.ABSTRACT: The paper presents a theoretical and methodological approach to the analysis of primary science teacher education discourse developed within a CLIL context (Content and Language Integrated Learning). From an integrated perspective using both a sociocultural and a conversational analysis approaches the study undertakes the analysis of discourse produced within small group interactions during a multilingual laboratory work activity dealing with the living being model in which student teachers used three languages: Catalan, Spanish and English. The analysis strategies include the identification of discursive actions and processes within each of the three fields that characterize students' communicative actions: the field of science, the field of English, and the field of science education. Finally the questions that orient the analysis within and across fields are presented whose general aim is constituted by the main question: How can learning in CLIL science teacher education contexts occur?
