Comparative music education in partnership: examining policy and provision of music in initial teacher education in Ireland and Northern Ireland

ABSTRACT This article investigates policy and provision of music in initial teacher education (ITE) in Ireland and Northern Ireland through a novel approach to comparative music education in ITE. Employing literature reviews and a survey of music ITE policy and provision in the two jurisdictions, it draws on a range of primary and secondary sources and presents a summary of comparative findings from the MITE project, carried out between 2017-2018. Key similarities include corresponding provision for music in B.Ed. (primary) programmes; the residual influence of denominational institutions; and the dominance of consecutive over concurrent models of secondary music ITE. Among major differences charted are distinct models of provision for music instruction outside of schools, participation rates in secondary courses, and varying approaches to cultural diversity in statutory music curricula. The article advances an original framework for comparative research in music education which may provide a conduit and stimulus for future comparative studies in music teacher education. It proposes to enable networking opportunities across primary and secondary music ITE providers, within and beyond borders, and inform strategies for meeting common challenges for music ITE in prevailing policy contexts.

The critical work of memory and the nostalgic return of innocence: how emergent teachers represent childhood

ABSTRACT This article examines how participants enrolled in teacher education and childhood studies courses represented their understandings of childhood through a selection of artefacts discussed in focus groups at four sites: Montréal, New York City, Ottawa, and Toronto. To situate our inquiry, we theorise nostalgia in relationship to the construction of childhood innocence, with a focus on children’s everyday objects and playthings in upholding this ideal. We further trace the construction of innocence to discourses of social exclusion and defences against difficulty. While participants used their artefacts to represent personal memories and social contexts that disrupted an idealised category of childhood, they also returned to a nostalgic trope of innocence, which was particularly pronounced in their understandings of childhood under COVID-19. We advocate for the creation of time and space for prospective and practicing teachers to mourn the idealisation of innocence and to examine the unequal conditions of vulnerability that both children and teachers live.

Understanding Novice and Experienced Teachers’ Cognitions and Practices for Sustainable Teacher Development: The Case of Form-Focused Instruction in English Language Teaching

Framed in Complexity Theory, this paper presents a multi-case study of Chinese university English teachers’ cognitions and practices about form-focused instruction in English language teaching. Four teachers, including two novice teachers and two experienced ones, were involved in the study. A triangulation method, including semi-structured interviews, classroom observations and stimulated recall interviews, was used to examine and compare their cognitions and practices. Research findings reveal that all teachers favoured focus on form instruction rather than focus on forms instruction in English teaching in their cognitions; however, the two novice teachers failed to implement focus on form instruction in practices, whereas the two experienced teachers carried it out consistently. The result calls for effective teacher education programmes for sustainable teacher development, particularly in sustaining the development of novice teachers’ knowledge about how to implement focus on form instruction in pedagogical practice. The implications arising from this study for L2 teacher education in China and similar L2 contexts are also discussed.

EVALUATE RECOVERY OF PROSPECTIVE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TEACHERS USING QUIZIZZ: IS IT EFFECTIVE?

The Covid-19 pandemic has a significant impact on Indonesia's education today. Students from both junior and senior batches of universities must experience changes in learning systems and models. Demands for change are felt not only by students but also by teachers. The teacher must meet the demands of distance learning. This also impacts on the use of appropriate tools in evaluating student learning outcomes. The Quizizz website is one of the teacher's tools for evaluating. However, it is not yet known whether Quizizz is the right tool for evaluating. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of using Quizizz as an evaluation tool. The research method is quantitative with quasi-experimental design. There are control and experiment classes, each with a sample of 37 students of Elementary School Teacher Education Study Program. Data obtained in the form of test score figures will be analyzed using independent t-test to find out whether the two data groups have significant mean differences. The "t-test for Equality of Means" column shows the results of the independent t-test. Sig. Value from the t-test is 0.138. If α = 0.05, then Sig.> 0.05. This shows that there is no significant difference between the experimental class and the control class. The results of the data analysis showed that there were no significant differences between the experimental and control classes. This shows that the use of the Quizizz website is less effective as a means of evaluating learning outcomes.The use of the quizizz website as a means of evaluating student learning outcomes needs to be further examined

Self-Regulated Learning and Sociodemographic Factors in Students’ L1/L2 Writing Proficiency

Background: Academic writing is a complex and demanding activity in which students have to regulate their (meta)cognitive, motivational, and linguistic processes and self-regulatory writing strategies might serve as a tool to accomplish writing tasks. The research was done as part of a verification of Zimmerman & Risemberg’s (1997) model of self-regulation in writing. Previous research on the relationships between students’ self-regulated learning (SRL) and writing performance has suggested their positive impact. Purpose: This paper provides insights into Croatian university students’ first/second language (L1/L2) writing performance regarding the SRL strategy use. Method: Students’ written performance in both L1 (Croatian) and L2 (English) was checked, and the contributions of SRL and sociodemographic factors were explored. A total of 104 students from the initial and final years of teacher education study were included in the research. A quantitative research method was used including the following instruments: The learning orientation scale, the Perceived academic control scale, the Croatian version of the values subscale, Writing strategies questionnaire.Results: Descriptive analyses revealed that students’L1/L2 writing proficiency was on average. There was no difference between L1 and L2 writing proficiency. Furthermore, the study showed that students mostly initiated learning goal orientation, writing tasks were valuable to them and they had more results of academic control over the mentioned tasks. Participants mostly used the most effective writing strategy - checking and correcting the text. The final study year students had better L1 writing proficiency compared to the initial study year students. Such results were expected since students were exposed to the extensive L1 academic experience, which was not the case with the exposure to learning English as a foreign language (EFL learning), resulting in a lower level of L2 essay writing proficiency. Success in L1 writing proficiency was explained more by cognitive and less by sociodemographic and motivational factors. The greater academic control over writing assignments and the lower goal orientation on avoiding effort was shown, the greater success was achieved. Success in L2 writing proficiency was mostly explained by cognitive factors, but also significantly by some sociodemographic and motivational factors. The higher GPA in L2 and the less asking for help and writing by the model strategy was employed, the greater success in writing assignments was achieved. The study indicated the importance of mastering SRL, especially cognitive factors in both L1 and L2 learning. Implication: The implications of the study were discussed which may benefit L1/L2 teachers to teach their students SRL writing strategies by which students could self-regulate their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours throughout the writing process to achieve academic success.

The Effectiveness of Hybrid Learning Model Using Ethno-STEM Approach to Develop Critical Thinking Skills (CrTS)

Critical thinking skills (CrTS) are an important competency required to be taught in higher education. This research aimed to find out the Hybrid Learning model using Ethno-STEM (HLE-STEM) Approach effectiveness and practicality for empowering CrTS in the Science Education Development (PPIPA) course. The research method used in this study was a pretest-posttest control group design study with four themes in PP1PA courses. Ninety-one students were splitted into the control and experimental groups. The sample was drawn from a population of students enrolled in PPIPA courses at University of PGRI Semarang's Primary School Teacher Education Study Program for the 2020/2021 academic year. The results of the study indicated that the HLE-STEM model was practicable or applicable, as evidenced by lecturers and students’ activities belonging to good and excellent classification. The HLE-STEM model is rather effective in terms of empowerment. For even further research, The HLE-STEM model becomes another possible learning model which empowers CrTS at all school levels, particularly for providing prospective educators at the elementary school level.

Learning to teach through Tong Ke Yi Gou: voices from pre-service language teachers

PurposeThe study explores how pre-service teachers engage in Tong Ke Yi Gou (“Same lesson and different design”) as a Chinese version of lesson study in a language teacher education course.Design/methodology/approachData were collected from multiple sources, including semi-structured interviews, field observations, as well as individual reflections constructed by the participants. The different data sources served to triangulate and enrich each other, shedding light on the student teachers’ learning experiences through lesson study.FindingsThe findings of the study reveal the participants’ enhanced motivation and participation through a process-oriented, collaborative design (i.e. joint lesson planning, micro-teaching, collaborative debrief and individual reflections). In addition, the participants engaged in constant comparisons at multiple levels, which collectively refined and expanded their pedagogical knowledge about language teaching. Such rich and collaborative experiences further contributed to their reflections on and for practice as future language teachers. On the other hand, the study also reveals the emotional challenges faced by some participants due to the competitive atmosphere brought by the comparative element embedded in the process of Tong Ke Yi Gou.Originality/valueThis study incorporates the mode of Tong Ke Yi Gou into a pre-service teacher education course in order to examine how it can benefit student teachers’ learning to teach. The findings highlight the power of “comparison” in promoting student teachers’ reflective and analytical thinking at multiple levels with practical implications for current pre-service teacher education programs.

Flipped classrooms: implications for K‐12 students with learning and behavioural challenges from an international exploratory study of teacher educators

Flipped classrooms represent a new instructional paradigm for presenting K‐12 instruction. Whereas in traditional classrooms new content is taught during the school day and application activities are assigned for homework, in flipped classrooms students are expected to acquire new content by working through assigned tasks at home prior to the next day’s class. Subsequently, class time is used for application activities. To date, limited, conflicting analyses of research about the efficacy of the flipped classroom paradigm have been reported. This lack of a clear consensus is of concern for students with serious learning and/or behavioural challenges who have not been the focus of these analyses and whose learning characteristics arguably run counter to what students must do to be successful in flipped classrooms. The investigation reported herein addresses one aspect of the aforementioned void in the literature. Data from an international survey of teacher educators from 33 countries that ascertained their thoughts about the appropriateness of the flipped classroom paradigm for students with serious learning and/or behavioural challenges are reported. Results indicate that teacher educators have reservations about the appropriateness of flipped classrooms, but that their opinions are not fully informed by knowledge about, and experience with, these classrooms.

Costa Rican Preservice Mathematics Teachers’ Readiness to Teach

Mathematics teachers’ knowledge for teaching mathematics has been broadly studied in recent years, and many theoretical frameworks and instruments have been created to measure and improve knowledge and competencies to teach mathematics. The knowledge gained from these studies has been crucial in understanding and determining what mathematics teachers should learn. In Costa Rica, there is a lack of regulations regarding the training that mathematics teachers receive and the knowledge and competencies they acquire in the different teacher education programs. This study investigates the knowledge for teaching mathematics of Costa Rican preservice teachers using the Teacher Education and Development Study in Mathematics (TEDS-M) instrument to identify strengths and weaknesses in their training. A mixed-method analysis of the responses of 79 participants revealed that they were well prepared for cognitive application skills but showed weaknesses in the development of reasoning skills. Additionally, the solutions highlighted significant deficiencies in participants’ monitoring of their own work and in the ability to provide feedback on students’ work. We hope that our findings could inform universities and policy makers to improve the quality of teacher education programs.

The Change of Preservice Physical Education Teacher’s Value Orientations across the Course of Student Teaching

There is limited empirical evidence of what value orientations preservice physical education teachers (PTs) endorse and how student teaching experiences influence their value orientations. The purpose of this study was to describe the initial value orientations of PTs at entry into the course of student teaching, and examine how their value orientations are changed across the student teaching semester. 14 Participants enrolled in the final student teaching semester were asked to complete the VOI-SF across the three terms of the student teaching semester (beginning, middle, and end of the semester). Descriptive analysis was conducted to identify PTs’ priorities for value orientations across the three terms. Furthermore, a Kruskal Wallis H test was conducted to see if there were any statistically significant changes in PTs’ value orientation priorities across the three terms. The results indicated that 1) PTs endorsed Disciplinary Mastery (DM) and Learning Process (LP) value orientations at entry into the course of student teaching and maintained the DM and LP as higher priorities across the three terms, and 2) their priority for the Social Responsibility (SR) value orientation remained the lowest but significantly increased among the three terms. Implications of this study for physical education teacher education include recognizing the strong DM and LP value orientation of PTs developed throughout teacher education curricula, and identifying the role of late field experiences like student teaching influencing PTs’ development of the SR value orientation.
