Examining pre-service teachers’ opinions about digital story design

Math is a subject in which students are generally not very interested and are unsuccessful compared to other courses. It has been suggested that digital stories designed for educational purposes could be used to prevent students’ lack of interest and failure in this subject. However, designing stories that are fit for purpose is important if the use of digital stories is to be successful. The purpose of this study is to investigate pre-service teachers’ opinions about how they utilized the steps of Gagne’s model while designing digital stories for math lessons. The participants in the study were 49 pre-service teachers studying at a Math Department at a Turkish state university in the spring term of the 2014–2015 academic year. The Pre-service Teachers’ Opinion Form and a Personal Information Form, both developed by the researchers, were used as data collection tools in the study, in which the qualitative method was adopted. Content analysis was utilized to analyze the data collected through open-ended questions. When the findings were examined it was seen that pre-service teachers had designed digital stories in which they often chose to attract attention by creating interesting characters in the “gaining students’ attention” step of Gagne’s teaching model, that the main character stated the objectives/topic in the story precisely in the “informing students of the objectives” step, and that the characters created repeated the previous topic in the “stimulating recall of prior learning” step. In the current study, the integration of digital story design into lesson plans in accordance with Gagne’s model was carried out and pre-service teachers’ opinions about their experiences of this process were investigated.     

小学教师职前培养实践教学模式探究--基于安康学院课堂教学技能训练的探索

当前,小学教育专业学生的教学技能训练普遍存在着教师职业基本技能训练独立化,专业技能训练模糊化,综合模拟训练形式化的问题。提升小学教师素质的关键是提高教学技能水平,探索“连环递进”实践教学模式,形成基本技能、专业技能和综合模拟训练相统一的循序渐进式课堂教学技能训练体系,切实增强小学教育专业学生的从教信心。     

日韩中小学教师流动制度及其对我国的启示简

Facilitating university teachers’ continuing professional development through peer-assisted research and implementation team work in China

ABSTRACT

Chinese university EFL teachers face challenges in teaching English writing effectively. On one hand, a lack of teaching strategies, heavy workload, and inability to meet students’ increasing expectations are driving them to seek continuing professional development (CPD) and adopt new pedagogies, e.g., peer assessment. On the other hand, their urgent need for CPD is overlooked by university administrators, who provide few opportunities for English teachers’ CPD in China. To help Chinese university EFL teachers to step out of the dilemma, the research proposes a CPD model, i.e., peer-assisted research and implementation team work. The model is characterised by its simultaneity with self-initiated research, instant communication of problems, implementation of strategies, and collaborative reflection of ideas with three major stages, i.e., problem identification, collective research and exploration, and pedagogy implementation and reflection. The findings show the model successfully contributes to Chinese teachers’ changing attitudes towards using peer assessment in the writing class. The model is of great practical value in improving teachers’ CPD collectively with minimal external help. The model can be widely promoted with modifications to cater teachers’ different CPD needs.

美国课程改革与教师教育

美国自20世纪50年代以来,在中小学进行了三次旨在提高学术质量的课程改革,每一次都强调了相应的教师教育改革,三次教师教育改革共同的趋向就是在课改的同时注重教师的专业发展。美国的经验值得我们借鉴,在课改的同时要注重相应的教师教育,加强职前教师教育的课程改革,加大在职教师的培训力度。     

Every teacher carries a leadership wand

Investigating the “black box” of effective teaching: the relationship between teachers’ perception and student achievement in a large urban district

Given the international need to improve student learning, there is nothing more important than classroom teachers. Obtaining a deeper understanding of effective classrooms is a priority if educational reform efforts are to succeed in any educational system around the world. In the last decade, educational researchers have expanded the knowledge base about the impact of teachers, but far less is known about what effective teachers do that make such a positive difference. This investigation focuses on the relationship between attributes of effective teaching, as perceived by both more and less effective teachers, and fourth grade reading achievement results of their students. This investigation used value-added modeling methods as the first step for identifying the more and less effective fourth grade teachers (N?=?261) and their students (N?=?6,962). Survey research methods were used to compare the perceptions about characteristics of effective teaching for teachers previously identified—in the value-added model—as (a) more effective and (b) less effective. Findings indicated that the more effective teachers value classroom management and organization as the number one characteristic of effective teaching; that, in turn, enables the more effective teachers to focus classroom time on student learning. Implications for theory and practice are discussed.     

促进中小学教师高水平快速专业发展:策略与途径

传统的中小学教师教育模式把教师专业发展看作是一个教师按部就班,循序渐进,从低水平到高水平逐步提高教学能力的缓慢过程。现实中广泛存在的青年教师跨越式专业发展案例表明,教师高水平快速专业发展是可能的,问题的关键是究竟哪些因素直接制约教师专业发展的水平和速度。本文基于对青年教师高水平快速专业发展丰富案例的分析,指出影响入职教师专业发展速度和水平的关键因素是教师的职业态度/个性品质和专业发展策略,并据此提出了促进教师高水平专业发展的策略和途径。     

人格心理学视角下的教师职业责任心结构研究

教师的职业责任心是指教师在与社会环境的交互作用中。形成的具有评价意义的反映教师对教育从业人员的责任承担程度的心理及行为的特征和倾向。通过考察教师在执行责任行为过程中所表现出的心理和行为方面的个别差异,教师的职业责任心可以分为三个环节：动力环节、操作环节和监控环节。

Semiotics and the “Connections” Standard: Significance of Semiotics for Teachers of Mathematics

For more than 14 years, the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (1989, 2000) has advocated that teachers of mathematics facilitate that students make connections of various kinds, in their learning of mathematics. Semiotic theories, including those of Peirce and those of Saussure and Lacan (each for different purposes), provide useful lenses for examining ways that teachers may facilitate the making of connections, for instance between home and school mathematics, or between mathematics and other school subjects, or between different branches of mathematics. This paper describes a nested chaining model that takes into account the need for interpretation and meaning making at each step in the sequences involved in connections. A nested model has the capacity to allow for webs of signification and meaning that take into account the complexity of the processes in ways that linear semiotic chains cannot. Examples are taken from research projects with graduate students, with pre-service teachers, and with practicing teachers.     

Complementary assessment in teacher and school leadership training: Necessity,conceptualization and validation

Contemporary education requires teachers and school leaders who have well developed basic skills and competencies such as interpersonal communication, teamwork and leadership, in order for them to lead their students toward successful integration into society. These skills and competencies are crucial for proper functioning in modern society. Existing training programs for teachers and school leadership roles, however, have little if any dedicated guidance for developing these skills and competencies. Inclusion of basic skill development in training programs necessitates a new model that focuses on their assessment. As a first step toward the development of such a model, this study, carried out using the Delphi method, offers definition and validation of a new concept called “complementary assessment”.
