Work Of Teachers Research Articles

Воспитательное мероприятие как предмет педагогического анализа

The purpose of the study is to develop a scheme for the systematic analysis of educational activities. The article presents various types of analysis of educational activities, gives their essential characteristics and identifies the main parameters of the analysis. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the fact that a convenient tool has been developed to assess the effectiveness of educational activities based on the analysis of individual components of educational activities using verbal and mathematical indicators of the performance of the classroom teacher. As a result of the study, it was found that the analysis of educational activities as a pedagogical problem remains insufficiently studied. The existing schemes of educational activities are difficult to apply due to the lack of an optimal number of requirements (criteria and indicators), incorrect formulation of the diagnosed indicators, subjectivity in evaluating the proposed parameters, and the inability to draw objective conclusions about the quality of the educational event. The scheme proposed by the author can be used in the work of classroom teachers, school administration, as well as university teachers accompanying the pedagogical (educational) practice of students.

A Comparison of Innovative Education Perceptions of Teachers Working in Turkey and South Africa

This study explored and compared metaphorical perceptions of “Innovative Education” among 100 in-service teachers from Turkey and South Africa during the 2020-2021 academic year. A phenomenological research design was adopted for this qualitative investigation. Teachers accessed an online platform to complete the open-ended prompt: “Innovative Education is like a ……because……”. The data was categorized through content analysis into four themes: vision, value, novelty, and process. Rogers’ Diffusion of Innovation theory provided a framework for interpreting the findings. The results revealed that teachers in both countries perceived innovation as a relative advantage, likely due to the significant changes experienced during the pandemic. However, South African teachers’ metaphors also indicated complexity, potentially reflecting a lack of adequate training and support during the implementation of innovative practices. Conversely, Turkish teachers’ metaphors suggested a more welcoming attitude, possibly due to sufficient support structures. Based on these findings, the study recommends that promoting teacher confidence during educational innovation should involve strong advocacy alongside comprehensive training and support programs.

Analysis of problems in planning and organizing independent curriculum in madrasah ibtidaiyah: teacher's perspective

Predictors of university staff distress during the COVID-19 pandemic. Part II. Risk and protection factors in women and men

Introduction and objective: Analysis of distress risk and protective factors regarding sociodemographic and COVID-19 pandemic related factors in the group of women and men working at Polish universities. Materials and methods: From March to August 2021, an online survey was conducted among 1,015 university staff aged 22–82 (M = 44.39 years, SD = 11.4), including 68.3% women. The semi-structured questionnaire used in the study included sociodemographic data, pandemic experiences, stressors from remote teaching, and Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS-21) to measure distress. Results: Multivariate regression has shown that the pandemic burden is significant for the severity of anxiety, depression, and stress for both men and women. The age of the participants was a significant predictor of the severity of anxiety and stress only in the group of women. We also found the difference between the groups in the relationship between academic status and stress. For women, the work of an academic teacher was a strong stress factor responsible for a stronger feeling of general stress. Being in a relationship was a factor in protecting against depression in the group of women. Conclusions: For both women and men, the most critical risk factors for worsening mental well-being were factors directly and indirectly related to the pandemic situation: changes in private life during the pandemic, the feeling of pandemic burden, and the occurrence of chronic diseases. On the other hand, the protective factor for both males and females was a close relationship.

A framework for transformational leadership to enhance teacher's work performance.

In the new era of higher education focusing on "double first-class" development, private universities in China face significant opportunities and challenges. The success of these institutions is closely linked to effective leadership, particularly transformational leadership, which is known to inspire and motivate employees toward extraordinary achievements. This study explores the existence and impact of transformational leadership on teachers' work performance in Chinese private universities. It aims to fill a research gap regarding the role of transformational leadership in a resource-constrained environment and provide practical insights for enhancing teachers' work performance, thereby contributing to the rapid development of private universities and the realization of "double first-class" goals. This study employed an input-process-output approach, combining qualitative data from face-to-face interviews with 12 leaders at Guangdong University of Science and Technology and quantitative data from an electronic survey of 392 university teachers. Data were analyzed using SPSS26.0, AMOS24.0, and NVIVO14, including exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, common method bias assessment, and correlation analysis. Structural equation modeling with AMOS24.0 was used to explore the relationship between transformational leadership and teachers' work performance, evaluating the impact of each transformational leadership dimension. The study findings demonstrated that transformational leadership styles are being employed in Chinese private universities, albeit not extensively, with moderate effects on teachers' work performance. The research identified organizational vision, intellectual stimulation, and personal recognition as significant drivers of enhanced performance among faculty members. Nevertheless, the study did not confirm the impact of supportive leadership, inspiring communication, and moral modeling within the context of Chinese private universities. The results highlight areas for potential development in leadership practices, including improving teachers' competencies, motivating teachers, providing good work opportunities and environments, and building good teacher teams.

The findings of this community service program include a participant satisfaction survey, where forums for teachers such as teacher working groups have successfully emphasized teaching focused on students' learning achievements (teaching at the right level). Teachers have been able to conduct formative assessments at the beginning of the learning process to assess students' learning achievements. In conclusion, Implementation of Independent Curriculum Independently is reflected in formulating learning outcomes, becoming learning objectives, and ways to achieve these learning objectives. This is demonstrated during the community service workshop, where teachers have successfully adapted to PMM by using and utilizing the results of minimum competency assessments in class to design meaningful learning.

Using self-reflection to support higher education teaching

ABSTRACT Seeking ways to support the work of higher education teachers is important. One of the tools that can be used to support teachers’ work is the promotion of reflection. Thus, the current study aimed to explore higher education teachers support opportunities provided by self-reflection. In the study, Finnish higher education teacher educators (N = 20) reflected their teaching by using a research-based self-reflection tool HowUTeach, which consists of items measuring teaching processes and well-being. The teachers responded to the items and then received feedback based on their responses. The teachers then participated in group interviews, which form the data for the present study. Thematic analysis of the interviews focused on teachers’ experiences of the self-reflection and aimed to identify support opportunities the self-reflection and feedback may offer for teachers. Based on the findings, the teachers (1) experienced an enhancement and enrichment of self-reflection, (2) were expecting a more situation-specific approach to self-reflection, and (3) noted support opportunities through the deepening of reflection during collegial interaction. The study highlights that in order to support higher education teachers by promoting self-reflection, it is also crucial to provide teachers with opportunities for dialogical reflection.

Analysis of the Exchange Structure in Online Tutoring by Pre-service English Teachers

Based on the national strategy of revitalizing teacher education, as an important part of talent training, pre-service teacher education plays an important role in the process of building a high-quality education system. However, affected by many factors, there are still many problems in the practice teaching of pre-service teacher education. In recent years, private tutoring by college students has developed rapidly. Similar to other practice courses for normal students, private tutoring provides pre-service teachers with the opportunity to practice teaching, reflect on learning and improve their professional competence. This emphasis on self-reflection is in line with The Exchange Structure proposed by Sinclair and Coulthard (hereinafter referred to as S&C) at the University of Birmingham in 1975, which is widely used in classroom conversation analysis. As pointed out by Atkins (2001), it is a very valuable work for teachers to apply this model to analyze classroom teaching activities, because they can better understand the courses they teach and improve classroom teaching in this way. However, the existing researches mainly focus on the traditional classroom exchange of in-service English teachers, and there are few on the classroom conversation between pre-service English teachers and students in online tutoring. Therefore, in order to truly reflect the characteristics of exchange structure of online English tutoring, this study selects a clip of the author's (pre-service English teacher) online teaching audio one year ago and transcribe it with the transcription system developed by Hutchby & Woffitt (1999). Then, the text materials are analyzed according to the original Exchange Structure (S&C, 1975), so as to provide suggestions for the professional improvement of pre-service English teachers. At the same time, the application of the Exchange Structure can be expanded to provide data for related studies, and suggestions are put forward for the improvement of the theoretical model.

Peran Kompensasi dan Lingkungan Kerja Sehat dalam Mendorong Loyalitas Kerja Guru

The purpose of the study was to determine the role of compensation and healthy work environment in encouraging teacher work loyalty. Case study at RA H. Achmad Ali, Surabaya. The analysis technique used is qualitative descriptive analysis technique, with data collection techniques conducted through interviews and observations. This research method uses a qualitative descriptive approach. The results of the analysis obtained that the compensation obtained by RA H. Achmad Ali teachers is in the form of salaries, allowances, and transportation given once a month. Although with a relatively low nominal compensation does not have a significant impact as a driver of teacher work loyalty, because their commitment is grown from healthy work environment factors that they experience while working. This is evidenced by the running of the learning process in accordance with the rules and objectives, and proven by the length of service of teachers at RA H. Achmad Ali, Surabaya. So it can be concluded that the role of compensation is not significant in encouraging teacher work loyalty, while the role of a healthy work environment is significant and influential in encouraging teacher work loyalty at RA H. Ach Ali, Surabaya.

The Integration Strategy of Class Teacher Management and Mathematics Teaching

The professional and moral education of high school mathematics teachers will make classroom management work better, but their work pressure will also lead to classroom management problems. To do a good job in high school class teacher management and organically integrate it with mathematics teaching, we need to start from two aspects: mathematics teaching class teachers and class teacher work teaching, and penetrate mathematical thinking into daily classroom management, moral education, and classroom culture construction. Based on the attributes of the subject, we guide high school students to reflect after class to stimulate their self-management initiative through the cultivation of qualified class representatives. In addition, it is necessary to skillfully resolve classroom generative problems, change the roles of teachers and students, and integrate classroom management with mathematics teaching.
