This aspect, perceived as the unique and invincible argument, places the pedagogy at the periphery of the science. The historical investigation of education can lead to some more rigorous epistemological groundwork's, redesignating the specificity and validity of its explanations and conclusions. The present study brings to the reflexive reader attention an important issue of the educational sciences. It focuses on: 1) opening of a new researching field of the educational sciences from the perspective of their epistemological and social evolution and maturing; 2) raising the awareness on the fact that pedagogy, as the base of all educational sciences, has to be involved in the process of defining and redefining the scope and the specific methodology within an often controversial and uncertain legislative background.

Improving teachers' access and participation in primary education to the continuous training opportunities, based on digital resources and blended learning courses, in order to support the young schoolchildren's' key skills training by organizing interdisciplinary learning offers represented, this year, a national strategic priority. Its importance is emphasized especially by the need for the continuous training who of those teachers which will coordinate the preparatory class (novelty and specificity for the primary Romanian education) at the beginning of the school year 2012-2013. Our study aims to highlight the steps taken by the authors of this training, starting by the basis of a training needs analysis, identifying the priority interest areas, planning training solutions, designing training events and resources, accrediting the program, delivering the program, integrating new information and communication technologies, managing training activities, assessing trainees' skills and establishing creative-anticipatory action strategies, in order to create an environment of continuing education in primary education and a culture that encourages and rewards the learning and vocational development.

The research approach of the educational field is revalued and redesigned in a period in which new information and communication technologies have become instruments of research processes inherent in any field of social sciences knowledge. E-research is a broad term used to describe a set of activities that harness the power of advanced information and communication technologies for research. It is obvious that any quantitative research does not properly validate assumptions can study without proper harness these e-tools. A less explored territory, in this perspective, is historical research educational phenomena. This article aims to identify and analyze historical research in the educational field design in terms of capitalization ICT resources. E-Research methodologies and capabilities can be applied in all research fields , not just those with a traditional affiliation to a high-performance computing. We consider issues underscores the importance of developing and improving the skills to use ICT and digital resources in historical research design development and implementation of education and skills for communication within research groups through the implementation and use of specific ICT tools within the program initiated research. The important aim is to identify several theoretical and methodological guidelines in the specificity of the historical research in education using the ICT resources. The article concludes with some recommendations for an appropriate exploitation of digital resources as opportunities to practice new skills specific for the current profile of the historical -researcher in the educational field.

The paper we propose supports an enthusiastic viewpoint that aims to reveal few basic guidelines of a plea for narrative art and a set of reasons supporting the importance of developing narrative intelligence through training programs for trainers. Throughout the paper we address few possible interrogations: What is a story/narration that calls for an action? What goals could be aimed by including a story/narration in a training session? What is narrative intelligence? What is known about narrative intelligence? How can it be developed/improved? Is narrative intelligence only a useful communication tool, or can it be used as an evaluation criteria for the effectiveness of all forms of communication directed to action? How to insert narration in a training session? How can you call to action using the art of narration? Is there a secret language of the trainer? How can it be cultivated? What other functions/roles can perform stories/narration used in a training session? In this paper I want to describe some of the properties of a world of “reality” constructed according to narrative principles and their force to act in educational space. In doing so, I have gone back and forth between describing narrative mental “powers” and the symbolic systems of narrative discourse that make the expression of these powers possible. It is only a beginning. My objective has been merely to lay out the ground plan of narrative realities and possible ways to develop narrative intelligence to teachers.

This activity implies having a teacher who's "armed with ICT instruments" not for using them as a goal (aim?), but especially for integrating them into the educational process with obvious formative and educational effects. As a course and tutorial author for pedagogical disciplines included in the initial training programs of the future teaching staff, I consider that enhancing the value of information and communication technologies is a part of an intercession of several other different strategies. The experiential learning has represented one of the most profound ways of approaching the process of familiarization and access for these technologies, from an instrumental perspective.The acceleration of the integration process and effective promotion of the new communicational and informational technologies must be regarded through the need of psycho-pedagogical and pedagogical substantiation of what represents the process of development of transferable competences and structures and of the mental operations supposed by the actual opportunities of professional development. This study represents a meta-reflexive exercise for identifying the main bench marks and the opening areas towards applicability and success in the information and communication technologies space for the initial and continuous training of the teaching staff from the primary and pre-primary educational environment.

Teachers with experience of new generations of pupils speak with delight but also with fear. There are other children, should be treated otherwise? Their world is not the world we are trained to educate. Our study hypothesis is the fact that to begin a training program for future teachers should have a good knowledge of the general profile of the child today, in the context of a complex and dynamic social context. The study findings are built as prerequisites to substantiate initial training of teachers, who need to reflect deeply. They can respond to new categories on which training needs most times I reflected in philosophical manner. The content of teacher training should focus on the role of virtual environments to create situations of training, design and exploitation creative educational software, evaluation assisted digital educational management, investigation - internet communication on issues of education, psycho-pedagogical and career Computer-Assisted, etc .. Also, teacher training must take into account the experience gained through the implementation of the agreements between traditional education and practice or knowledge of the entire teaching obvious transformations that are generated by harnessing information and communication resources of computers. By integrating students will be trained in intelligence gathering activities on the Internet to solve problems, they will communicate and collaborate. Using a blog and not a simple web page, the teacher may receive comments and questions from his students and they can answer. This Communication aims to support students; information, useful contacts for further in-depth study can be posted on forums or on a learning platform specially created.

The virtual educational environment that has been created implies respecting the specific exigencies of such an environment which also has to satisfy several needs of a real professional training. Since the beginning of this century, the directions of innovation and the Romanian Reform of primary education have focused towards the integration of an interdisciplinary vision in the construction of knowledge and the child preparation for all the scholar solicitations in the context of the preparatory class. The SWOT Analysis for the integration of the training program for the teaching staff from the primary educational environment from 2012 and 2013 had shown a heterogeneity ensemble of psycho pedagogical conceptions, educational practices and especially essential arguments which sustain the necessity of creating flexible scenarios which are adapted to the Romanian educational reality. The construction of this training program is based on the idea of integrating the principles of the pedagogy of diversity? The educational community hosted by the platform and the debate forum from the internet has been formed in the main context to fulfill the needs to educate this categories professional in perfect concordance with the pedagogical practices. This research synthesizes the conclusions of an investigation dedicated to the way that the training program for teaching staff from the primary educational environment has supported the adequate treatment of diversity in its multiple manifestations. The most important aspects of this research are focused towards the evaluation of the concrete modalities in which the principles of the pedagogy of diversity can offer systematically occasions for personalizing the online learning process. The investigation has appreciated the concrete level of promoting the standards of inclusive learning in the active construction and exploration of the online learning.

Our study focuses on the relation between these allocations, internal or external, in connection to learning particularities (the learning styles based on Felder and Silverman’s revised and improved model, 1987 [7]) and the results obtained in the first year of undergraduate studies during Initial Training Education (ITE). For the purpose of this research, we used questionnaires on control’s place in students’ academic life and on their learning styles, and the results of specific exam tasks. Previous similar research was done by Barzegar, Majid [3], Ramazan Hamdi, Farzad Pourheidari and Nematulla Moradi [10], Figen Akça [1] or Scherpbier, van der Vleuten, Rethans and van der Steeg [17]. The results of our research lead to the identification of a clear pattern of differences betwe...
