Employing the five‐factor mentoring instrument: analysing mentoring practices for teaching primary science

Primary science education is a concern around the world and quality mentoring within schools can develop pre‐service teachers' practices. A five‐factor model for mentoring has been identified, namely, personal attributes, system requirements, pedagogical knowledge, modelling, and feedback. Final‐year pre‐service teachers (mentees, n = 211) from three Turkish universities were administered a previously validated instrument to gather perceptions of their mentoring in primary science teaching. ANOVA indicated that each of these five factors was statistically significant (p<.001) with mean scale scores ranging from 3.36 to 4.12. Although mentees perceived their mentors to provide evaluation feedback (95%), model classroom management (88%), guide their preparation (96%), and outline the science curriculum (92%), the majority of mentors were perceived not to assist their mentees in 10 of the 34 survey items. Professional development programmes that target the specific needs of these mentors may further enhance mentoring practices for advancing primary science teaching.     

论新建本科院校体育专业人才培养质量的提高——以广东省为例

"高等教育大众化"及"评估"为新建本科院校的发展带来了机遇,专业设置及招生数量明显增多,教学条件大大改善。但是新建本科院校规模日益扩大,并不等于人才培养质量的提高。当前,对于新建本科院校而言,切实提高人才培养质量和办学水平是他们应重点把握的问题。本文以广东省新建本科院校为例,就如何提高新建本科院校体育专业人才培养质量提出几点看法:准确定位,科学制定人才培养目标;优化专业设置;加强教师队伍建设、提高科研水平;构建综合、机动的课程体系;制定多样化的教学计划模式;引入淘汰机制。     

学校跑步现象探析

跑步活动能否在学校持续地开展下去,是学校体育既关注又困惑的问题。透过警察院校公安大学生跑步教育的实践与探索,提出学校长跑活动应以体育课与课外活动为载体,课内教学与课外锻炼＂并重＂;健身长跑的练习形式是多元、开放的,是师生双方共同参与的过程,具有较强的规定性、计划性和目标指向;在我国推行＂全民健身活动＂的背景下,立足于学校和学生实际的跑步活动,对推动并实现学校体育教育、健康教育、健身锻炼的目标有重要意义。     

大学生创新素质培养模式建构探究

Latinas/os succeeding in academia: the effect of mentors and multiethnic coursework

Academia often devalues diverse identities, cultures, and languages through emphasis placed on academic values. To ascertain how established and new Latina/o academics achieved success in academia, the author conducted interviews with ten Latina/o academics; they noted mentoring and multiethnic coursework as influential in their success as academics. The author suggests mentoring practices and multiethnic courses should be receptive and sensitive to the complexities and varieties of cultural and linguistic identities, thereby identifying a balance between recognizing diverse language and cultural practices in academia while avoiding generalizations and assumptions about ethnic groups. The author offers implications for practice and research.     

Enhancement of Mentor Selection Using the Ideal Mentor Scale

Doctoral students seeking faculty mentors have few tools available to assist them. The Ideal Mentor Scale (IMS) is a new measure designed to help graduate students consider the qualities they as individuals most value in a potential mentor. Ph.D. students at 3 different universities (Ns = 82, 250, 380) contributed to the development and cross-validation of the 34-item IMS. Item frequencies indicated that 2 universal qualities were central to graduate students' definitions of a mentor: communication skills and provision of feedback. Principal factor analysis of the IMS indicated that 3 individual differences dimensions reliably underlaid graduate students' importance ratings of mentor attributes: Integrity, Guidance, and Relationship. In one sample, Guidance and Relationship were significantly related to student satisfaction with their mentor. The IMS is an assessment tool that could individualize the initiation and maintenance of mentoring relationships, enhance communication, and ultimately improve the satisfaction of students with their doctoral education.     

Equal Opportunities and Post‐Sixteen Education: strategies for institutional change,possibilities and constraints

In this paper we describe findings from a research project in the South West of England that enquired into the impact of the changing requirements of programmes leading to teaching qualifications in the FE sector. We utilise the metaphor of ‘learning journey’ as a heuristic to discuss the professional formation of student teachers in training. In so doing, we challenge oversimplified models and assumptions of progress and learning as a linear progression by demonstrating the complexity of student transitions during professional formation.
