Factors influencing educators’ implementation of quality teaching practices in Australian engineering education

ABSTRACT Improving teaching quality within engineering education is a long-standing challenge, made more difficult by the complex economic, political, and social environment in which educators operate. Understanding the enablers and barriers to implementing quality educational practices from a holistic perspective is thus critical for developing evidence-based actions for improving practice. This study addresses the research question: ‘what key factors influence engineering educators’ implementation of quality educational practices, and how?’. Using Bourdieu’s Theory of Practice as the theoretical lens, interviews were conducted with 21 engineering educators from 11 distinct Australian universities. Conceptualising the field as the engineering departments of Australian universities, data were thematically analysed to identify key themes relating to capital (what is valued within the field) and habitus (characteristics influencing individuals’ perceptions). Five factors emerged relating to capital: knowledge of engineering subject matter, knowledge of quality educational practices, recognition of teaching quality, resource allocation for teaching, and collegial network. These interacted with four factors relating to educators’ habitus: role context, personal motivation towards teaching, subject and student characteristics, and institutional context. Recommendations for educational leaders include increasing the value of educational and industry acquired engineering knowledge, developing enhanced impact evaluation approaches aligned to recognition processes, and supporting engagement between educators.

A significant positive correlation was found between emotional intelligence and teacher quality (r = 0.231, p < 0.01), suggesting that teachers with higher emotional intelligence tend to exhibit higher quality teaching practices. Conversely, a significant negative correlation was observed between work stress and teacher quality (r = -0.187, p < 0.01), indicating that increased work stress may hinder teacher quality.These results underscore the importance of emotional intelligence in enhancing teacher quality, while highlighting the detrimental impact of high work stress. Therefore, it is imperative for schools and relevant stakeholders to prioritize interventions aimed at fostering emotional intelligence and mitigating work stress among teachers, ultimately contributing to the improvement of overall teaching quality.

Jordanian early childhood teachers' beliefs regarding best practices utilizing developmentally appropriate/inappropriate practices as a benchmark

The main objective of this study is to investigate the beliefs of early childhood teachers in Jordan regarding best practices using the Developmentally Appropriate Practice (DAP) and Developmentally Inappropriate Practice (DIP) frameworks. Additionally, the study aims to determine the influence of certain variables on teachers' beliefs regarding best practices. To achieve this objective, a questionnaire was developed and administered to 101 early childhood teachers in Jordan. The data collected was analyzed descriptively using means and standard deviations. The results of the study showed that early childhood teachers' beliefs about best practices were consistent with the DAP construct outlined by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). Similarly, their beliefs about lower-quality practices were in line with the DIP construct. However, the study also revealed that teachers still held positive beliefs about some traditional practices despite their potential to be developmentally inappropriate. Furthermore, the statistical analysis showed that there were no statistically significant differences in the beliefs of teachers regarding best practices based on their education level or teaching experience. Based on the results of the study, recommendations are made for decision makers and researchers to help them make informed decisions and develop effective professional development plans, which could help early childhood teachers in Jordan to implement DAP effectively. Overall, the findings of this study provide valuable insights that can be used to enhance early childhood education and improve the quality of teaching practices in Jordan.

Constructing an evaluation index system for clinical nursing practice teaching quality using a Delphi method and analytic hierarchy process-based approach

BackgroundThe key step in evaluating the quality of clinical nursing practice education lies in establishing a scientific, objective, and feasible index system. Current assessments of clinical teaching typically measure hospital learning environments, classroom teaching, teaching competency, or the internship quality of nursing students. As a result, clinical evaluations are often insufficient to provide focused feedback, guide faculty development, or identify specific areas for clinical teachers to implement change and improvement. Therefore, the purpose of our study was to to construct a scientific, systematic, and clinically applicable evaluation index system of clinical nursing practice teaching quality and determine each indicator’s weight to provide references for the scientific and objective evaluation of clinical nursing practice teaching quality.MethodsBased on the “Structure-Process-Outcome” theoretical model, a literature review and Delphi surveys were conducted to establish the evaluation index system of clinical nursing practice teaching quality. Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) was employed to determine the weight of each indicator.ResultsThe effective response rate for the two rounds of expert surveys was 100%. The expert authority coefficients were 0.961 and 0.975, respectively. The coefficient of variation for the indicators at each level ranged from 0 to 0.25 and 0 to 0.21, and the Kendall harmony coefficients were 0.209 and 0.135, respectively, with statistically significant differences (P < 0.001). The final established index system included 3 first-level, 10 second-level, and 29 third-level indicators. According to the weights computed by the AHP, first-level indicators were ranked as “Process quality” (39.81%), “Structure quality” (36.67%), and “Outcome quality” (23.52%). Among the secondary indicators, experts paid the most attention to “Teaching staff” (23.68%), “Implementation of teaching rules and regulations (14.14%), and “Teaching plans” (13.20%). The top three third-level indicators were “Level of teaching staff” (12.62%), “Structure of teaching staff” (11.06%), and “Implementation of the management system for teaching objects” (7.54%).ConclusionThe constructed evaluation index system of clinical nursing practice teaching quality is scientific and reliable, with reasonable weight. The managers’ focus has shifted from outcome-oriented to process-oriented approaches, and more focus on teaching team construction, teaching regulations implementation, and teaching design is needed to improve clinical teaching quality.

Comparative didactics: Toward a generic model for analyzing content-specific dimensions of teaching quality

Since the 2000s, the Joint Action framework in Didactics (JAD) has been developed in the context of the expansion of the French-speaking research in Comparative didactics. Studies carried out with this framework typically investigate how knowledge content develop in teacher-student classroom interactions. From a quite different perspective, classroom research on teaching quality has also developed considerably in recent years. Despite the many efforts to better understand relations between generic versus subject-specific dimensions of teaching, this dichotomy remains strong in the debates on teaching quality. This contribution explores a comparative model for characterizing the quality of teaching practices from the conceptual categories of the Joint Action framework in Didactics (JAD-MTQ). Based on the comparison of teaching and learning practices in two school subjects—physics and contemporary dance—this paper pursues a twofold objective: (1) proposing a provisional set of generic criteria for capturing content-specific dimensions of teaching quality; and (2) highlighting certain methodological conditions for ensuring qualitative analyses of these dimensions of teaching quality.

Evidence-based teaching: effective teaching practices in primary school classrooms

Understanding and measuring effective teaching practices in low- and middle-income countries is a complex process that requires a contextualised knowledge of teaching quality, as well as adaptable instruments that can reliably capture teachers’ varied classroom behaviours. One approach developed with these purposes in mind is Teach Primary, a classroom observation framework designed and revised in 2021 by the World Bank. This framework captures the time teachers spend on learning and the quality of teaching practices which help to enhance pupils’ cognitive and socio-emotional skills, as well as aspects of the physical environment which may influence teaching quality. Using the Teach Primary framework, this article examines evidence regarding effective instructional practices in primary school classrooms, with highlighted examples from low- and middle-income countries. It also sheds light on the criticality of instrument contextualisation, given variations in how practices can be valued and implemented in different settings and how structural quality factors can influence teachers’ use of strategies. Challenges and limitations relating to the use of the Teach Primary framework are discussed, along with implications for teacher education and evaluation.
