Turnover Causation Amongst High School Teachers in Nigeria

Four theoretical frameworks were used to explore causations of turnover amongst high school teachers in Nigeria: (1) teachers’ personal health, (2) work–family life, (3) job satisfaction, and (4) actual turnover intention. Quantitative data were obtained from 925 public high school teachers in Ogun State, South-Western Nigeria. Cronbach's Alpha reliability procedure, regression modelling and t-test were used to analyse a total of 96 causations of turnover. Ad hoc analysis returned an Alpha value of 0.78. However, this improved to 0.93 when the causation factors were reduced to 64 – those with highest item-rest and itemtotal correlations. The findings showed that job (dis)satisfaction, personal health and work– family life conflict are prominent amongst the issues that trigger the intention of Nigerian high school teachers to quit their jobs voluntarily. Insights from the findings will help funding administrators in prioritising strategic decisions around mitigating turnover.     

荷兰大学教师发展研究轨迹探析

20世纪60年代以来,荷兰的大学教师发展研究顺应了其教师教育研究的发展,走过了一条从稚嫩到相对成熟的发展之路,至今仍呈现出国际化水平不断提升的良好发展态势。本文对荷兰教师教育研究的历程作简要的回顾,在此基础上,以荷兰跨校教育研究中心和莱顿大学教师教育研究院为例,具体分析该国以研究促发展的大学教师发展研究的内容与特点。     

酒店行业员工高流动率问题探讨——以泉州市为例

对泉州市部分酒店的员工流动情况进行调查,同时探讨员工高流动率的弊端。认为酒店行业员工高流动率的成因是:聘用人员多数为职业探索阶段的年轻人,社会对酒店行业的偏见,薪酬水平较低等。提出帮助员工制定职业生涯规划,改进薪酬制度,加强员工的沟通交流,培育企业文化的策略。     

社会网络视角下新进员工跳槽的生存分析

本研究以社会网络为视角,探讨影响企业新进员工跳槽的社会网络机制。选取2008年参加工作的毕业生为对象进行生存分析发现,入职前后的社会网络强度会显著提高新进员工的跳槽可能,而扩大入职后的网络规模则会延长新进员工的工作持续时间。交互效应的检验表明,入职前网络强度与入职后网络规模和强度的交互效应均会对工作持续时间产生积极影响。本研究最后提出了有针对性的建议。     

官员更替、银行授信与企业研发投入

利用官员更替数据匹配世界银行提供的关于中国企业营商环境质量调查数据,旨在从实证的角度探究官员更替、银行授信和企业研发投入之间的关系。研究发现,官员更替和银行授信都对企业研发投入具有显著的促进作用。此外,官员更替这种强烈的外生冲击会强化银行授信对企业研发投入的积极影响。不过,官员更替和银行授信对规模不同企业的研发投入的直接和交互影响存在着差异。上述结果表明,对于政策制定者而言,丰富和完善官员更替制度对加快实施创新驱动发展战略具有重要的实践意义。     

对第29届奥运会中国男篮进攻失误指标的分析研究

本文运用录像观察法和数理统计法对中国男篮在第29届奥运会比赛中的失误数量、方式、区域、时间等方面进行了系统的分析,研究结果发现,中国男篮的前锋球员和后卫队员是进攻失误最多的主体。除了客观因素,队员责任心、自信心不足也是导致失误的重要原因。进攻失误次数的偏多是导致中国男篮跻身世界篮球强国的瓶颈。     

中小学教师在职攻读教育硕士专业学位的职业承诺和离职倾向

通过对737名中小学教师在职攻读教育硕士专业学位的职业承诺、组织承诺和离职倾向的问卷调查,结果发现:(1)教育硕士具有较高的职业承诺和组织承诺。(2)教育硕士的离单位倾向处于一般水平,离职倾向较低。(3)教育硕士的职业承诺、组织承诺与离职倾向存在显著的负相关。     

Reflective peer coaching: Crafting collaborative self-assessment in teaching

Reflective peer coaching is a formative model for improving teaching and learning by examining intentions prior to teaching, then reflecting upon the experience. The goal of reflective peer coaching is to promote self-assessment and collaboration for better teaching and ultimately better learning. There are obvious benefits to colleagues collaborating and sharing ideas, thoughts, and observations. However, many models of assessing teaching effectiveness focus on summative evaluation in which colleagues observe each other once or twice a year and fill out institutional evaluation forms. Rarely do colleagues engage in formative conversations about teaching that are guided by the instructor's personal goals and objectives. Reflective peer coaching necessitates a ten-minute planning conversation prior to the actual lesson and a ten-minute reflective conversation after the lesson. These conversations happen regularly and frequently to build self-awareness and self-assessment of the personal craft of teaching. The following article outlines the dynamics of the reflective peer coaching process as a formative assessment model that leads to better learning through improved teaching.
