A comprehensive "real need" assessment, a step towardimproving the quality of faculty development programs: A survey-based study in Hormozgan University of Medical Sciences.

Developing a framework to identify the "real" needs of faculty members, the gap between the current and desired conditions, would lead to an effective faculty developmentprogram (FDP) and improve higher education quality and health system promotion. For the first time in Iran, instead of needs assessment based on faculty members preferences or assessing needs only in a few areas, this study aimed to assess the difference between "self-rated level of skill" as the current condition and "perceived importance" as the expected condition, regarding all faculty roles and levels at Hormozgan University of Medical Sciences (HUMS). This study used a research-made questionnaire that included 73 items within nine domains. The content validity of the questionnaire was confirmed, and Cronbach's alpha coefficient ranged from 0.86 to 0.96 for domains. The census method was applied. Participants rated their current skill level and perceived importance for professional development of each item on a 10-anchor scale. Statistical software, SPSS 19, analyzed the data using descriptive statistics and analytic tests. Significant differences existed among participants' ratings of skills and the importance of further training in various areas. Priority professional development domains were e-learning, curriculum development, personal development, program evaluation, leadership and management, student assessment, learning theories and teaching strategies, research and scholarship, and ethics and communication. Additional formal training is required, especially in e-learning and curriculum development, for most faculty members at HUMS to enhance their academic performance. This study is the first needs assessment in Iran based on gaps between current and desired conditions. Conducting a "real needs" assessment before initiating an FDP is necessary for its feasibility.

However, there are still many problems in the implementation and promotion process. At the same time, its emergence has promoted the entire education industry to be more standardized and in line with national macroeconomic regulation, which is more conducive to create a higher quality and good educational structure system, firmly treating schools as the main venue for educating students, people need to transform and change off campus training organizations even more. The research in this article analyzes the problems and difficulties faced by the "Two-way choice and burden reduction" policy in promoting the development of schools, families, and training institutions through literature review, and proposes its own solutions to these problems and difficulties.

Education as a necessity of life: An exploration on Ugandan Education System Quality with reference to John Dewey's Philosophical Correlates

AbstractEvery country desires and aspires for an education system that caters for learners’ physiological needs, belonging, love, self‐esteem, security and self‐actualisation at the top, which are rarely provided by a few countries. With a review focus on the Ugandan education system, several challenges related to the education borrowing suggestions as proposed by John Dewey have been attributed to creating an environment that has seen most graduates ending up unemployed, and with leadership challenges, inadequate funding, poor teacher perception, low research and innovations in higher institutions of learning, less involvement of the informal sector in development, low literacy levels, political interference among others. Thus this exploratory analytical‐qualitative review focuses on John Dewey's teachings in his book Education and Democracy—specifically chapter 1, ‘Education as Necessity for Life’—with attention on how education as an engine that empowers life, ensures independence through self‐reliance, sustenance, freedom, and is syndrome‐free to enhance appreciation of the contemporary trends in education—critical aspects that are extremely lacking within the current Ugandan education system and can impact on the future of education to the future of education as recommended in National Development Plan III (NDP III). Thus the review recommends that while reflecting on the state of the Ugandan education system, there is a need to revitalise the research and innovations in higher institutions, especially catering for an integral‐education system with a focus on science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) from primary school to university, involvement of the informal sector through skills education as proposed by the Ugandan Vision 2040 and NDP III, as well as addressing low literacy levels and providing adequate teaching and learning through quality and balanced funding from all relevant government agencies and development partners.

Teachers’ experiences of continuous professional development for citizenship and social cohesion in South Africa and Zimbabwe: enhancing capacity for deliberative democracies

While questions continue to be asked about teachers’ content and pedagogical content knowledge to ensure quality education systems, less consideration has been placed on teachers’ ability to teach for citizenship and social cohesion that contributes equally to quality education systems. This paper illuminates the understandings of citizenship and social cohesion held by South African and Zimbabwean teachers, their experiences of Continuous Professional Development (CPD) that promote the values of citizenship and social cohesion, and how they practice these learnings in their school contexts. The South African study presents the views of eleven high school teachers where data was procured through semi structured interviews. The Zimbabwean study presents the views of seventeen high school teachers, where data was procured through an open- ended questionnaire. The two studies suggest that teachers in South Africa and Zimbabwe share similar perspectives on citizenship and social cohesion, emphasizing nation-building and respect as key drivers. Teachers also report aligning their teaching practices with citizenship and social cohesion values with a limited focus on political participation, possibly due to fear of negative repercussions. Further, CPD for citizenship and social cohesion is fragmented, inconsistent and mostly absent. This study is an important contribution to debates about improving quality education and ensuring deliberative democracies in post-conflict and post-colonial states in the Global South. Teachers play a critical role in socializing schoolchildren for citizenship. As such, they need to be equipped with the skills that allow them to do so. Further to this, teachers also need the freedom and autonomy to discuss politics in the classroom without fear of negative repercussions, including alienation and fear of losing their jobs.

A multilevel investigation of factors related to achievement in Ireland and Spain using PISA data

The Program for International Assessment (PISA) is a methodology for making comparative judgments about the quality of education systems. Celebrated by proponents as a transparent process that allows policy makers produce data informed judgments about relative quality of their national education system PISA – and through it the OECD – has become a key vehicle for informing and explaining educational policy development. This paper explores the Irish and Spanish outcomes of the 2018 round of PISA. It examines the contextual factors that are associated with performance at student and school level while at the same time developing a multi-level statistical model to explain divergent school performance profiles It finds that issues associated with the socio-economic level of the students, the repetition rate, and student age are common across all domains in both countries. It suggests that the socio-economic status of Spanish students at school level is not significant, that the shortage of teachers in Ireland affects student performance, and that immigrant status does not disadvantage Spanish student performance. It concludes by suggesting that studies involving a wider application of the model be undertaken to assess possible social, economic, and cultural causes that may explain the differences in variable significance in each country.
