Abstract

This research seeks to be a contribution to general pedagogy by studying a particular type of pedagogical intervention called articulating expressions, which are characterized as connections between different technical topics or topics associated with a discipline that emerge during a class. Two types of articulating expressions were determined: local and global. We conducted a video analysis of math classes with two expert judges, who carried out the coding of the frequency and type of articulating expressions. The selected material corresponded to videos of math classes from 138 teachers of second cycle of Elementary Education in Chile. Following this, the identified articulating expressions were correlated to the overall teaching performance of the 138 teachers, according to the Chilean National System of Teacher Performance Evaluation. The results show that articulating expressions, particularly those of a local nature, correlate positively but with a reduced effect, to different dimensions of teaching performance, such as the teacher's ability to structure the class or promote pedagogical interaction. Articulating expressions would correspond to an important pedagogical resource for the teacher to enhance learning, while facilitating the teaching of the technical language of each discipline. The latter is achieved by establishing relationships with topics discussed during class, but also with content that was previously taught, and even with future content related to the discipline.

RESUMEN

Este estudio busca ser un aporte a la pedagogía general al indagar un tipo particular de intervenciones pedagógicas denominadas expresiones articuladoras, caracterizadas por introducir conexiones entre diferentes asuntos técnicos o temas asociados a una disciplina que emergen durante una clase. Se determinaron dos tipos de expresiones articuladoras: de carácter local o global. En particular, se realizó un análisis de videos de clases de matemáticas con dos jueces expertos, quienes llevaron a cabo la codificación de la frecuencia y tipo de las expresiones articuladoras. El material seleccionado correspondió a videos de clases de matemáticas de 138 profesores de segundo ciclo de Enseñanza Básica en Chile. Posteriormente, las expresiones articuladoras identificadas fueron correlacionadas con el desempeño docente global de los 138 profesores, de acuerdo al Sistema Nacional Chileno de Evaluación de Desempeño Docente. Los resultados muestran que las expresiones articuladoras, en particular las de carácter local, correlacionan de forma positiva, pero con un efecto reducido, con distintas dimensiones del desempeño docente, tales como la capacidad del profesor de dar estructura a la clase o la promoción de la interacción pedagógica. Las expresiones articuladoras corresponderían a un recurso pedagógico importante del docente para el aprendizaje, en tanto facilitan la enseñanza del lenguaje técnico de cada disciplina. Lo anterior se logra al establecer relaciones con asuntos tratados durante la clase, pero también con contenidos enseñados previamente o incluso con futuros asuntos disciplinares.
