UNDERSTANDING THE IMPACT OF TEACHER DEMOGRAPHICS ON ASSESSMENT FOR LEARNING STRATEGIES IN GHANA'S EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM

This study explores the implementation and effectiveness of Assessment for Learning (AfL) strategies among basic schoolteachers in Ghana, focusing on the influences of gender, teaching experience, and teaching division. Utilising a survey approach, data were collected through a 16-item Assessment for Learning Questionnaire (AfLQ) from a randomly selected sample of 100 teachers. The instrument's reliability and validity were confirmed through a pilot study and expert reviews, achieving a Cronbach's alpha of over 0.7 for all variables. Multinomial regression analysis provided key insights into the effectiveness, variability, and reliability of AfL practices, guiding professional development and future research. Multiple linear regression analyses identified significant correlations among AfL practices, with strong positive relationships between self-assessment, peer assessment, and immediate feedback. Variance plots showed higher variability in the implementation of certain practices among female and subject teachers, indicating a need for more tailored professional development. Additionally, the Test Information Function (TIF) plot revealed distinct proficiency levels, highlighting areas where teachers excel and potential gaps requiring intervention. These findings emphasise the critical role of demographic factors in the application and success of AfL strategies and offer actionable insights for enhancing teacher training programmes. By integrating advanced statistical techniques, the study provides a comprehensive understanding of AfL practices in diverse educational settings, contributing valuable knowledge to the field of educational assessment.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0871/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Investigating how subject teachers transition to integrated STEM education: A hybrid qualitative study on primary and middle school teachers

Encouraging subject teachers to transition to integrated STEM education is an important measure to address the shortage of STEM teachers. However, there is limited research available on the process and characteristics of STEM teacher identity transformation. The study used a hybrid method of Grounded Theory and Epistemic Network Analysis to analyze interview texts of 10 STEM teachers from Zhejiang Province, China. Research has shown that subject teachers go through three stages when transitioning to integrated STEM education: imitation, exploration, and innovation. Throughout each stage, the teacher’s identity changes as they gain a better understanding of integrated STEM education, curriculum and project design, practical methods, and teaching reflection. The study has identified three paths for the transformation of STEM teacher identity, which are influenced by factors such as gender, professional background, school type, and location. Additionally, the study proposes strategies that could encourage subject teachers to transition toward STEM education.

Сотрудничество психологов, педагогов и родителей в сопровождении школьников при подготовке к выпускным экзаменам

<p style="text-align: justify;">One of the functions of the psychological service at school is psychological support of graduates in preparation for examination. The results of the survey of students showed that one of the reasons for anxiety and even fear is the topic of the period of preparation for examination and the examination process itself. Together with subject teachers, programs were created, the essence of which is to take into account the psychological aspects of time planning and self-regulation, as well as the content of the preparation plans and stages of work with examination tasks for each of the academic disciplines to be passed by graduates. Another no less “problematic” topic for graduates is the nature of the attitude of significant adults to the way graduates prepare for examination. Within the framework of psychological and pedagogical support of schoolchildren in preparation for the external examination, meetings of psychologist with parents of graduates were held, which were also conducted with the use of interactive methods. Such cooperation of subject teachers, school psychologist and parents has received positive feedback from students of final grades after testing the proposed recommendations on trial tests.</p>

Needs Analysis in English for Moroccan Applied Mathematics Graduate Students at Ibn Zohr University

This study examined the English academic needs of students in the Applied Mathematics in the Science of Engineering (AMSE) master program at the Faculty of Sciences, Ibn Zohr University, Morocco. It aimed at determining the gap between students' language needs and their actual competencies and identifying learners’ perceptions of their linguistic needs and their linguistic difficulties. The study was conducted based on a mixed-methods design approach with multiple data collection instruments. As a research framework, the Dudley-Evans and St John's (1998) needs analysis model was used. The results showed that participants attach different values to the importance and competence of macro- and micro-language skills. Students and teachers placed a high value on grammatical knowledge. Students valued grammar, speaking, and writing highly, while subject matter teachers valued grammar, speaking, and writing highly, but listening and pronunciation skills were valued as less important. The study showed that learners' English proficiency level is average. Their average English levels then influenced their academic achievement. Based on the aforementioned results, the researchers proposed that syllabus designers should address the macro- and micro-skills regarding academic studies when developing and redesigning course syllabus and its objectives in the ESP context.
