Unpacking teachers’ intentions to integrate technology: A meta-analysis

The Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) is a key model describing teachers' intentions to use technology. This meta-analysis clarifies some of the contradictory findings surrounding the relations within the TAM for a sample of 45 studies comprising 300 correlations. We evaluate the overall fit of the TAM and its structural parameters, and quantify the between-sample variation through meta-analytic structural equation modeling. The TAM fitted the data well, and all structural parameters were statistically significant. On average, the TAM variables explained 39.2% of the variance in teachers' intentions to use technology. Several sample, measurement, and publication characteristics, including teachers’ experience and the representation of the TAM variables, moderated the relations within the TAM. Overall, the TAM represents a valid model explaining technology acceptance—however, the degree of explanation and the relative importance of predictors vary across samples. Implications for further research, in particular the generalizability of the TAM, are discussed.     

Selecting teachers and prospective teachers: A meta-analysis

The purpose of this review article was to examine the methods used for the selection of teachers for employment and prospective teachers entering initial teacher education (ITE) programs, and to assess the predictive validity of these methods. We reviewed 32 studies reporting selection methods administered in high-stakes conditions and that included an external (not self-reported) teacher effectiveness outcome measure. The overall effect size was small but significant (r = 0.12, p < .001). Moderator analyses showed that academic and non-academic predictors were both significantly associated with teacher effectiveness measures and that effect sizes were small (but significant) for selection into employment and ITE. We conclude the review by proposing a research agenda that has the potential to enhance educational outcomes by improving the selection of prospective teachers.     

论新手教师和专家教师的合作对新手教师专业成长的影响机制

新手教师和专家教师的合作是一种推动新手教师专业化成长的有效途径,合作因为类型、性质、层次的不同而形成不同的运行机制,相应地会对新手教师的专业成长产生不同的影响。完善学校管理制度、构建教师合作的文化氛围、优化教师合作过程、培养教师的合作素养,是实现新手教师和专家教师高层次、规范合作以促进新教师专业成长的有效策略。     

新课程背景下农村教师合作文化的建构研究

教师文化是影响教师观念以及教学行为的隐性因素,合作文化是教师专业发展的理想氛围。保持人为合作与自然合作间的合适张力,营造和谐互助的合作氛围;依托农远工程资源开展网络教研,构建区域性合作组织,可以克服农村地区经济与地理等客观条件限制以及以保守性为基本特征的农村传统文化的影响,培育持续推动农村教师专业发展的合作文化。

教唆犯的未完成形态比较研究

教唆犯的未完成形态即教唆犯的预备、未遂和中止。在比较德国、日本、俄罗斯等大陆法系国家刑事立法和刑法理论的基础上,结合我国《刑法》规定及刑法学界的通行观点,独立教唆犯有成立预备犯的可能。教唆犯的二重性决定了教唆犯的未遂有时表现为未实行终了的未遂,但更多的表现为实行终了的未遂。教唆犯成立犯罪中止并不一定要以自动有效地制止被教唆者的犯罪行为或有效防止被教唆者犯罪行为可能发生的犯罪结果为必要条件,教唆犯甚至无需采取任何措施也可成立中止犯。

Is teacher attrition a poor estimate of the value of teacher education? A Swedish case

Far from all who complete teacher education end up working as teachers throughout their entire career. At first sight the value of teacher education, in terms of efficiency, seems to be a failure. In the present article we argue that teacher attrition, when defined as whether one is working as teacher or not, is a too blunt measure to gauge whether teacher education has been valuable. With a unique dataset, where we have detailed information on 87 Swedish teacher graduates’ working life across 23 years, we can consider whether activities and/or experiences point to an apparent use of teacher education. In conclusion, we find that in order to get informative estimates of its value it is important to consider it from different perspectives and to consider attrition related to the total working time spent in educational settings across a career rather than percentage leaving teaching after a set of years
