Abstract

This paper reports the development and validation of a digital application (Assessment Scale of Oral Language at School - Decision Support System, EVALOE-DSS) for the professional development of teachers aiming to improve their students’ linguistic competence. We performed a multiple case study involving seven teachers and their students from seven different schools. Over a six–month period, the teachers used the digital application to self-assess their classes, make decisions and introduce changes into their teaching practices. The researchers observed four class sessions of each teacher and assessed them with the same digital application. Each teacher-researcher dyad discussed the tool and its use over three meetings during the semester. Despite some differences between the teachers, use of the digital application produced progress in the competences of both the teachers and the students. Thus, the digital application can be used for professional development in teachers.

摘要

本文报告了旨在提高学生语言能力的教师专业发展的数字应用程序（学校口语评估量表 - 决策支持系统，EVALOE-DSS）的开发和验证。我们进行了一项多案例研究，涉及来自七所不同学校的七名教师及其学生。在六个月的时间里，教师们使用数字应用程序对他们的班级进行自我评估、做出决定并在他们的教学实践中引入变化。研究人员观察了每位教师的四节课，并使用相同的数字应用程序对其进行了评估。每个教师-研究人员在本学期的三次会议上讨论了该工具及其使用。尽管老师之间存在一些差异，使用数字应用程序提高了教师和学生的能力。因此，数字应用程序可用于教师的专业发展。
