{"title":"ASSUMPTIONS ABOUT LEARNING THAT UNDERPIN TEACHERS’ FEEDBACK PRACTICES","authors":"Verónica Yáñez-Monje","doi":"10.36315/2023v1end114","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.36315/2023v1end114","url":null,"abstract":"This paper seeks to examine models of cognition and of learning and its possible alignment with formative assessment. This, using feedback as an entry point to have access to teachers’ actions and interpretations in the intertwining that takes place between teaching, learning, and assessment. Data is informed by doctoral research conducted in three primary schools in England. The empirical work was undertaken by classroom observation and teachers’ follow up interviews. The main findings foregrounded different participants’ views. For some teachers the strategies used to provide feedback such as modelling skewed towards instruction, which resonates with the idea of making judgments about what is missing within tasks, with the teacher exerting the prime role within interaction by taking responsibility for the pupils’ misunderstandings. Another relevant notion was assessment as learning (Torrance, 2007), which consisted of feedback actions focused on specifying what were the necessary features to be completed to meet the objective which resembled a hierarchical sense of how these elements or criteria should be taught and learnt (James, 2006; Marshall & Drummond, 2006). Results also depicted teachers’ assumptions regarded to talk and shared learning, which trace some similarities with cognitive and constructivist perspectives of learning. The corresponding actions were enacted by encouraging their pupils to use conceptual and strategic resources in collaboration when discussing on their writing tasks. These practices also involved pupils’ suggestions on the criteria already proposed by the teacher. Finally, the study also revealed a teacher’s perspective portrayed as Questioning means learning, which reflected how teacher provided their students with evaluative experience when the task was ongoing. In this view, a link could be made with a sociocultural approach as students took ownership of both, the learning and the assessment process.","PeriodicalId":93546,"journal":{"name":"Education and new developments","volume":"155-156 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73170161","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nevertheless, despite the extensive support by federal legislation, public policy, federal initiatives and programs, the employment outcomes for IWDs are still disappointing and they continue to encounter employment problems such as lower employment rates and lower annual earnings. For example, people with disabilities have experienced significantly lower employment rates than those without a disability. According to findings from the NLTS2 (Newman, Wagner, Knokey, Marder, Nagle, Shaver, & Wei, 2011), the approximate rate of employment, at the time of the study, for individuals with disabilities ages 18-24 was 63% and was impacted heavily by the identified disability label and level of training/education. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (2022) reports 19.1% of people with disabilities were employed compared to 63.7% of their peers without a disability. Research has shown that long-term career outcomes for individuals with disabilities can drop to a rate as long as 17.2% (Baker, Lowrey, & Wennerlind, 2018). Research on evidence-based practices indicated that early employment experiences, supported internships, and collaboration are effective in preparing and supporting IWDs for their transition to employment (Bellman, Burgstahler, & Ladner, 2014; Lee & Carter, 2012). Longitudinal data demonstrates that schools can improve employment outcomes for youth with disabilities through job readiness instruction (Park, Bouck, & Duenas, 2020).","PeriodicalId":93546,"journal":{"name":"Education and new developments","volume":"67 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86659216","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A total of 30 previous studies were included, resulting in a total sample size of 16,632 individuals. The result showed that the overall performance of male teachers was better than that of female teachers in the middle layer of the Chinese university teacher competence model, and the average effect size was significant. Furthermore, research showed that among the four dimensions of attitude, values, self-concept, and social role in the middle layer, only the dimension of social role had a significant effect size and indicated that the overall performance of male teachers in this dimension was better than that of female teachers, and the level of superiority was low. The results indicated that there were clear differences in the overall performance of male and female teachers in different regions. The overall performance of the female teachers in North China was significantly better than that of the male teachers, with lower and weaker levels of excellence, while the overall performance of the male teachers in South China was better than that of the female teachers, with lower levels of excellence. The findings provide future researcher with references on the university faculty competency model.","PeriodicalId":93546,"journal":{"name":"Education and new developments","volume":"43 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89310278","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim is to explore trends in group performance, which can then serve as a starting point for analysis and discussion of decision-making processes during training sessions. The results of the observation of the work process of 113 groups with a total number of participants of about 500 people were obtained from 5 different simulations based on a procedure developed by Human Synergistics. Average individual and group results, the gain/loss from the group discussion and the resulting synergy in the group were calculated as efficiency measures. The results of the Bulgarian groups are compared with those of known published studies and can serve as reference values. Expectations of similarity in the performance trends of individuals and groups are confirmed. The hypotheses regarding the increase in the quality of group decisions compared to the averaged individual results (in 82% of cases) and the relatively limited achievement of synergy (only in 30% of cases) are confirmed. Differences are also established between groups based on belonging to a private or state organization and open groups or members of a team/organization. The observations create a basis for more in-depth discussions during the training sessions on how the quality of decisions can be improved by increasing the quality of interactions between group participants.","PeriodicalId":93546,"journal":{"name":"Education and new developments","volume":"101 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76872529","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The proximity of the Fourth Industrial Revolution is observable and brings challenges arising from the ongoing automation and digitization. All companies, willing to remain competitive on the market need to go through this transformation overcoming such barriers, as the lack of qualified, skilled and talented employees to develop and manage various high-tech systems. This deficiency means that Industry 4.0 demands a change in the labour market, explicitly requiring trained professionals who have the needed competencies and skills. In this new environment, driven by new technologies and innovations the cooperation between academia and business is a prerequisite to sustainable economic growth, readiness for employment and preparedness for satisfying the new demands of the industries. The authors are university teachers, working in Mechanical engineering department and Design department. The purpose of the presented paper is to observe the competencies and skills of mechanical engineers demanded by Industry 4.0 and to systemize the links between the industry in the region and the University aiming developing the needed competencies. Example with a project “Smart Industries”, running at the Mechanical Engineering department and Department for Computer sciences, focuses on development of expert competence within research and education areas related to the digitalization of the industry will be presented.","PeriodicalId":93546,"journal":{"name":"Education and new developments","volume":"41 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74801864","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"PRESERVICE LIFE SCIENCES TEACHERS’ CONCEPTUALISATION OF GENDER EQUALITY IN THE CLASSROOMS","authors":"Lydia Mavuru","doi":"10.36315/2023v1end016","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.36315/2023v1end016","url":null,"abstract":"Gender equality has become a rhetorical phrase in today’s modern societies where women are challenging the societal gender stereotypical practices particularly in the African context. Such vibrancy however is not evident in research to provide empirical evidence of how issues of gender equality can be promoted in different fora. The school context is an ignored stakeholder considering that schools are extensions of the lives in the homes and communities, yet this is where the future leaders are developed. In Life Sciences (Biology), there are topics which could be used as opportunities for teaching gender equality to the young learners. The current study sought to determine how preservice Life Sciences teachers conceptualised gender equality and the need for teachers to be gender sensitive. A questionnaire with only three open ended questions was administered to 90 pre-service teachers (50 enrolled for a Bachelor of Education and 40 enrolled for Postgraduate Certificate in Education) as a google form. The questionnaire sought participants’ understanding of what gender equality in the science classrooms entails, topics that invoke gender issues, and reasons for the need for teachers to be gender sensitive when teaching such concepts. This information was pertinent as the lecturer (researcher) planned to introduce gender responsive pedagogy as a theme in the following year’s module. Through deductive and thematic analysis of the data collected, three themes emerged: 1. Preservice teachers’ understandings of what gender equality entails is based on their sociocultural practices and beliefs; 2. Gender equality issues arise from topics that evoke emotions in the Life Sciences classrooms; and 3. Teachers of Life Sciences have a duty to protect and embrace every learner despite their differences. The findings also revealed that there were preservice teachers who declined to give responses to the questions. When quizzed outside the lecture, two participants (separately) pointed out that such a topic is sensitive to them, and they declined to elaborate. Based on the findings, the researcher surmised that such a topic cannot be brought into the classroom without preparing the participants emotionally as previous experiences or encounters at home or in society may interfere with open mindedness to learn. The findings provided an important basis for further research and for teacher development.","PeriodicalId":93546,"journal":{"name":"Education and new developments","volume":"70 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72907134","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is an issue of major importance considering how it relates to writing skills which are necessary for education as a whole. Teachers must introduce students to the pleasure of learning, and working collaboratively is proposed as one way to sustain students’ interest in writing. However, very little is known about the contribution of collaborative writing to writing motivation. This is because few studies have opted for recognized motivation indicators or a control design that would reveal the added value of a collaborative approach at different times in elementary school. The aim of this study is to compare the writing motivation of second-and sixth-grade students depending on whether they write individually or in dyads (repeated measures). After each writing session (individually and in dyads), the students answered a likert-scale questionnaire to assess their motivation on four indicators: self-competence, self-efficacy, interest and value. Preliminary results (t-tests) showed that second-graders are equally motivated to write in both contexts but that boys’ motivation reached girls’ only in the dyad context. Results for six-graders are expected. They will be presented and discussed to highlight the contribution of collaborative writing to writing motivation, which may vary depending on students’ sex and grade level.","PeriodicalId":93546,"journal":{"name":"Education and new developments","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87197630","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
