The articulation of the development of teacher knowledge during the implementation of new teaching procedures to enhance student understanding of molecular biological concepts

This paper is based on the first author’s extensive examination of her teaching and her students’ learning in a senior high school Biology classroom at a coeducational K-12 independent college in Victoria, Australia, over a five-year period. Research was guided by the following questions: (1) How can students become more aware of the specific biological terminology that they will need to use to communicate their understanding of biological concepts? (2) How can student familiarity with new biological terminology be enhanced? (3) Which teaching strategies might be most effective across the diverse range of abilities and learning styles within a senior Biology classroom? Three key data-sets ([1] Development of specific teaching procedures; [2] Student responses to using the teaching procedures; [3] Teacher journal entries and reflections) were analysed supported by Korthagen’s ALACT model. Findings support the notion that genuine educational change is linked to teacher change, driven by teachers themselves, drawing new insights into students’ learning.

Teacher licensing examinations—True progress or an illusion?

Over the past 10 years, public criticism of student achievement has been accompanied by a multitude of educational reforms, most of which emphasized the importance of setting national standards for student achievement and for the level and quality of teaching. The demand for frameworks to assess the extent to which students and teachers met the requirements set down by the national standards, followed. One such group of examinations – licensing exams – is directed at beginning teachers to determine which of them will be certified to teach. Thus these examinations are a regulatory mechanism designed to shape the national teaching force. This paper addresses these examinations. It consists of three sections. The first section includes information about licensing exams in many countries, licensing requirements, and whether or not the exams are actually in use. The second section of the paper presents arguments for and against licensing exams and in the third section the author presents her position on the issues addressed.
