PEREZ ABRIL, Mauricio; ROA CASAS, Catalina; PATRICIA VARGAS, Ángela y ISAZA, Lida Alexandra. What Makes an Outstanding Teacher? Features of Practice during the First Years of School. Rev. colomb. educ. [online]. 2014, n.67, pp.171-200. ISSN 0120-3916.
This study presents the research results of the project entitled Typical Features of "Outstanding" Language Teaching during the First Years of School (first schooling cycle)- Building Knowledge from Teaching Practices. The study attempted to determine which features characterize outstanding teaching practices during the first years of school, based on a qualitative analysis, inductive in nature, of two sources of information: (a) a documental source, consisting of theoretical developments and researches as well as of documents on outstanding systematized experiences in language teaching; and (b) a discussion group with seven distinguished teachers from different parts of the country, with a career path in the didactics of language. From the findings, it can be seen that an outstanding teacher emerges as an implied subject, with his/her own ethical, political and social convictions. These beliefs act as the site where the key decisions guiding their actions are taken. The choice for a theoretical posture, for an approach, for a way to give form to their didactic challenges are all subordinated to such convictions.
