Investigation of Professional Commitment Among Practicing Teachers in Higher Education Institutions

The present study aims to explore the phenomenon of professional commitment in the institutions of the Higher Education Department in the province of Punjab. The phenomenon is related to the teachers’ commitment to teaching, teamwork, and students’ welfare. The study framework follows the positivistic paradigm and quantitative approach through the survey method for hypothesizing phenomena and gathering and analyzing data. The study population consists of public-sector college teachers from Punjab, Pakistan. Through the multistage sampling technique, 803 public college teachers were selected as a sample of the study. The data was collected through a self-developed questionnaire, i.e., ‘measure for teachers’ professional commitment.’ For the validation purposes of the data tool, qualitative and quantitative analysis was carried out by seeking expert opinion and pilot testing for factor analysis to ensure the reliability and validity of the study instrument. Descriptive statistical analysis was applied to answer the study's research questions. The results reflect that professional commitment among teachers is at a low level, and commitment to teaching and teamwork is at a low level. Based on these conclusions, it is recommended that a low level of teachers’ professional commitment is critically important to be addressed through a selection of teachers who have taught as their first choice for the job to ensure intrinsic motivation. Furthermore, incentives, appreciation, and social recognition might be supportive for enhancing their commitment to teaching.

The development of competencies is an important aspect for every individual, as it ensures the achievement of high results in work and allows you to perform tasks more efficiently and professionally. In the modern world, there are concordant concepts of “competence” and “competency”, which are interpreted by scientists in different ways. The purpose of this article is to study the origin of the concepts of “competence” and “competency”, to clarify the definitions of each concept and the expediency of using these interpretations by teachers of general secondary education institutions. Conclusions. Establishing the relationship between the concepts of “competence” and “competency”, we consider it appropriate to focus on their distinction. In accordance with the studied interpretations of these concepts, we note that competency is interpreted by a certain institution or the state as a predetermined requirement for knowledge, skills, abilities that a person must have in order to be successful in the required field of activity. In turn, competence is an asset of the individual, which determines the qualitative level of knowledge, skills and the ability to implement them based on one’s own experience, which manifests itself at a critical moment through the ability to find a connection between the situation and knowledge, in making adequate decisions on an urgent problem. It is important to note that competence is directly related to competency, as it specifically outlines a given range of issues in the field of activity that a person should be well versed in, i.e. competent. Thus, competence is a predetermined set of knowledge, skills, and abilities, and competency is actually a qualitative characteristic of the acquisition of this knowledge and skills, which is manifested in the process of practical activity. Key words: competence, competency, language competence, competence-based approach, pedagogical competence, professional competence of a teacher.

English teachers’ views of EFL education in private educational institutions in Tunisia: A qualitative investigation

This research study focuses on the status of English language education in private educational institutions in Tunisia, an area that has received limited attention. Qualitative investigation, utilizing one-to-one interviews with English language teachers in private schools and universities, was conducted to understand the conditions of Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) in the private sector. Interviews were conducted online and transcribed for analysis. Findings indicate that the quality of English language teaching in private institutions surpasses that of state schools, with students benefiting from early exposure and ample practice opportunities. Teachers in private institutions have access to better resources due to stable financial situations, but they tend to be less experienced compared to their counterparts in public schools. Despite the study's limited scope, it provides valuable insights into Tunisian English teachers’ perceptions of working conditions and highlights their need for professional development and improvements in TEFL. The instrument used in the study has been validated and could serve as a basis for future research. This research, part of a larger PhD dissertation, contributes to understanding the differences between state and private language education and has pedagogical relevance for EFL education in similar contexts.

Development of mathematical competence as a key competence in English language teaching

The relevance of the study is conditioned to the need to explore new effective methods of implementing competence-oriented education while teaching English and forming key competences as a basis for learners’ comprehensive development and successful integration into a fast-moving cross-cultural society. The purpose of the study was to substantiate the category “mathematical competence in English language teaching learning” and analyse the survey of English language teachers to determine its understanding among teachers of secondary educational institutions. General scientific and empirical methods, deduction, comprehensive analysis, and comparison facilitated achieving the set goals. Hence, this paper presents the research on implementing the competence-oriented strategy stated by the Law of Ukraine on Education in general and the features of developing mathematical competence in English language teaching/learning as a key one. The modern view on understanding the concept in scientific discourse was analysed, including considering mathematical competence as a subject-specific, key, and super-competence. Assuming that communication is one of the methods and ways of teaching the English language, the authors’ vision of its definition regarding its development in the language learning was suggested. In addition, the survey of English language teachers was conducted and analysed and contradictions and problems in its comprehension and implementation among teachers were revealed: understanding the need to develop mathematical competence as a key one in teaching English; and the lack of methods and didactic materials for practical use at the English language lessons at secondary educational institutions. Furthermore, outlined prospects for future research in developing methods and efficient didactic materials for developing the mentioned competence and conducting an experiment to prove their effectiveness. These didactic materials also should comprise the psychological, linguistic, and lingua-didactic aspects, previously substantiated by the author of this paper, for developing mathematical competence as a key one in the process of teaching the English language
