Summary
This study was designed to develop an evidence-based model for integrated (hybrid) practical experience. It combines qualitative and quantitative methodology (mixed-methods). The model will be developed in 2 phases: (1) a phase that will be based on qualitative research tools disseminated among the focus groups of different interests, in order to examine the bodies of knowledge that were identified in the pilot study, and (2) a validation and evaluation phase of the mode, based on quantitative research tools (questionnaires), which will enable the model to be included beyond the study’s research group.
The sample includes pre-service teachers from different institutions (universities and colleges), different sectors (Arabs and Jews), different regions in the country (periphery and center), as well as a variety of disciplines (sciences, social sciences, linguistics, and humanities). This will allow the model to be examined among different populations and areas of knowledge and in different geographical areas.
This collaborative research team includes four researchers from three different academic institutions in Israel, in which different teacher training programs are conducted (Haifa University, Weizmann Institute of Science , and Lewinsky College).
The project was enacted in collaboration with
- Prof. Lili Orland Barak and Dr. Alexandra Daniel-Saad, Haifa University
- Dr. Alona Forkush-Baruch, Lewinsky College
The project received a research grant from the Chief Scientist’s Office of the Ministry of Education, as part of a call 37 / 12.2020 for research on practical experience in integrated (hybrid) space.
