What do teachers do in their classrooms? the case of one Primary Schools Centre

Abstract

This paper presents an investigation focusing on the need to analyze the methodologies undertaken by primary school teachers to see the implementation of competency-based model at this level. The lack of research in this respect the basic levels of education in our country makes this study relevant. Specifically it is a descriptive case study conducted in a Primary School. Thus, through semi-structured interviews, we discuss the real classroom practice employing seven teachers to see how their teaching, five women and two men from different levels and specialties. The findings suggest that the teachers interviewed have not yet taken a competency-based educational model, but there are emerging signs of a new shift in media and methodologies used. This indicates that teachers are trying to adapt to new demands of continual change.
