Training Of Teaching Staff Research Articles

On the problems of education of national minorities in Kazakhstan in the 20s and 30s of the XXcentury (on the materials of Northern Kazakhstan)

The article is an analysis of the problem of education of national minorities in Kazakhstan in the 20–30 years of the XX centuries.The focus of the researchers is on the initial period of Soviet power, when the processes of modernization and national self-determination intensified in the country. The main trends in the creation of the school system of national minorities, such as the opening of national schools, national cultural and educa-tional institutions, training of national teaching staff are considered. The peculiarity of the ethnic structure of the population of Kazakhstan in the studied period was the diversity of its national composition as a result of the active resettlement policy of the Russian Empire and migration processes of the Soviet period. The au-thors also pay attention to regional peculiarities in the development of the school system in Kazakhstan.The specificity of Northern Kazakhstan was that the German, Ukrainian, and Tatar populations were represented to a greater extent here; accordingly, the provincial education authorities paid special attention to the creation of schools for these ethnic groups, the number of which was increasing every year. The authors dwell sepa-rately on the problems and difficulties encountered by local education authorities —the lack of educational literature in the native language, the lack of basic conditions for organizing educational activities for national minorities, weak teaching staff, and the lack of experience in carrying out effective work to solve these prob-lems. The main reasons for overcoming these difficulties were the great diversity and dispersion of the popuation of Kazakhstan, the peculiarities of its economic way of life, the colonial past, the lack of specialists in local authorities to solve the problems of national minorities, the lack of funds for the development of nation-al schools.

Dyslexia in higher education – teacher’s perspective: scoping review

The experience of dyslexic students is influenced by the beliefs, knowledge, attitudes, and practices of their teachers at all levels of education, including the university. The purpose of this review is to explore the empirical knowledge of dyslexic university students from the point of view of their teachers. Following the PRISMA guidelines, 12 studies (out of the 771 retrieved from 5 main relevant databases) met the inclusion criteria. Reflexive thematic analysis was used to analyze the included studies. Three main themes were identified: dyslexia = gray area; “inclusive university”; and practical training is necessary. In conclusion, awareness of dyslexia among university teachers is sufficient, and their attitudes toward dyslexic students are mostly positive, while expressing some concerns, which would deserve closer examination directly in practice. Higher education teachers would appreciate practical training to acquire skills to work with students with dyslexia. These trainings have the potential to increase the self-efficacy of teachers and thus overall support the well-being not only of teachers but also of dyslexic students. This study advances the existing literature on dyslexia in higher education by adding the point of view of higher education teachers. Based on the results of this study, it is clear that universities should provide more support to their teaching staff, including guidance and practical training, so that their courses could become inclusive and welcoming for all students (including students with dyslexia).

The History of Natural Sciences as a component of the hidden curriculum

The history of the development of natural sciences is integrated into the educational process of the relevant disciplines and can influence the formation of a student’s personality. The content and interpretation of the historical component are not regulated, they are included in the “hidden curriculum”. The purpose of the work is to analyze the functions of history in the teaching of natural sciences as a component of the hidden curriculum according to literature data and to assess the degree of their implementation in the opinion of participants in the pedagogical process. Results. At the first, we highlighted the functions that history performs within the framework of natural sciences based on the literature data. Then during empirical stage in 2022 we conducted the anonymous online survey of tutors and students of 2-3 courses of Russian medical universities (N=325). The analysis of the obtained data showed that, according to the survey participants, firstly, the history of the studied science is a necessary part of the educational process. Secondly, the use of historical facts during lectures and classes performs more cognitive (including the development of critical thinking) than educational functions (including the formation of socio-cultural identity and citizenship), which can be associated with varying degrees of their implicitness. The results of the survey of students from different regions turned out to be similar. Most of the respondents supported the unification of the historical component of the natural science discipline for all medical universities in Russia. In a practical sense, the results of this study can be used in the training and advanced training of university teaching staff in order to focus on the hidden components of the educational process and actualize various contexts of the history of natural sciences, as well as be taken into account in the development of educational literature and work programs. The externalization of the hidden curriculum will allow to integrate it into a unified educational policy.

Motivation for Salary Increase for Teachers Depending on the Quality of Teaching and Research Results

Abstract In the world market, success is achieved by the countries that have better human capital and allocate sufficient resources for its reproduction. One of the results of the growing enrollment of many universities has been the need for additional qualified teaching staff and advanced training, which has led to the need to retrain existing teachers for staffing the growing number of higher education institutions. The first of the major success factors in this endeavor is to ensure that teachers are motivated to earn a relatively adequate salary. In recent years, a number of RA universities have successfully applied the method of salary calculation, which is based on the principle that a teacher (professor, associate professor, assistant, etc.) receives a salary depending on his category and workload (number of hours per academic year). Another important component of the assessment is the real involvement of the teacher in scientific activities and, based on this, a method for calculating the salary of a teacher is proposed, taking into account, among other things, his scientific activity. In order to encourage the scientific activity of the teacher, an indicator of the effectiveness of his scientific activity is introduced, the measure of which is scientific work during the previous (three to five) years.

Pedagogical Skeptics and Challenges towards the Application of Drones in Teaching and Learning Sciences

Drone application and implementation in various domains of work and life have transformed technology in numerous ways. Drone technology has greatly benefited various industries while also making the lives of various professionals easier in completing complex tasks in a short period. Studies proved that by introducing drones into classrooms, teachers would have a new means to make learning more fun, innovative, interactive, and collaborative for students. Drones can be applied in challenging subjects like sciences: Computer science, Biology, Physics, Chemistry, Geography, and others to clear off difficulties in some abstract concepts by giving real-world applications to the problems. However, some teachers are skeptical of the use of drones in science teaching and learning. The purpose of this paper is to investigate teachers’ actions and reactions to the application and implementation of drone technology in the classroom. It goes on to explain how teachers’ knowledge and professional development, students’ attention being diverted to technology design and models rather than learning outcomes, a lack of adequate technical support, and fear of technological maintenance cost and sustainability all serve as barriers to proper drone implementation in the classroom. Using Google Forms, teachers (both pre-service and in-service) were asked how the aforementioned factors affect drone application. Given the time constraints for this study, a purposive sampling approach was used to recruit 60 respondents. The instrument’s contents were validated with the use of the ‘face validity’ method. The 0.77 reliability index demonstrated that the instrument’s reliability strengths were accurately positive. The collected and compiled results were analyzed using graphical representations for better presentation and visualization. According to the findings, teachers’ knowledge of emerging technologies and professional development needs to be improved to keep up with the trend and applications of various tools that can aid effective science teaching and learning. Similarly, proper guidance is required to prevent students from becoming distracted by the fashion and gleaming designs of drones. Similarly, the government should provide maximum support to schools through subsidies to ensure technology accessibility. The functionality, safety, and care of the drones should also be maintained by the school administration. It is then suggested that frequent training and re-training for both teaching and non-teaching staff be organized to ensure proper and continuous use of drones in classrooms.

ICT efficacy and response to different needs in university classrooms: effects on attitudes and active behaviour towards technology

Digital competence is considered to be a crucial learning outcome in education in the 21st century. In this context, research highlights the fact that the perceptions that instructors manifest about different aspects of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) condition these professionals’ behaviour towards these learning resources. In the same line, this study aims to analyse the effects that exist between a series of dimensions related to the perception of university teaching staff on the capacity of ICTs to respond to different needs of students, on perceived efficacy and attitudes towards these tools and, lastly, on active behaviour towards their use. To do so, 345 university instructors from the Spanish educational system filled in an online questionnaire. The application of a Structural Equation Model underscores the fact that the ability of ICTs to respond to the different needs of students in the university classroom and their perceived efficacy in the teaching–learning process both exert a positive effect on attitudes in favour of their incorporation into the classroom. In turn, these attitudes also have a significant effect on active behaviour with ICT resources. In addition, various mediating effects are seen to influence an active behaviour. All this gives rise to a discussion on the implications of these results to encourage the training of university teaching staff in the knowledge and management of ICTs. Increasing confidence in ICTs as effective tools to respond to different needs could significantly favour positive attitudes and behaviour so that these resources are actively integrated into the classroom.

Analysis of Teachers’ Competences for Industry 4.0 Subjects: A Case of Thai Higher Education Institutions

The era of Industry 4.0 (I4.0) requires technology and engineering higher education institutions to provide their students with the competences inherent to this evolution. This requires teaching staff training, but first, naturally, teachers’ level of competences must be assessed. The objective of this work is to assess the current level of teaching staff self-perceived competences related to product, process, and production in the I4.0 Era, using a tailor-made questionnaire. Additionally, the work aims to evaluate the relation between academic degrees and years of experience, with the level of self-perceived competences. In terms of methodology, the development of the questionnaire’s items was based on the Acatech framework and existing I4.0 courses. The questionnaire was validated through the following steps: 1) think-aloud procedures with 4 teaching staff, and 2) test and retest statistics validation, developed with approximately 30 teaching staff from the referred institutions. Then, the questionnaire was applied to more than 200 teaching staff. Two I4.0 areas showed a lower level of self-perceived competence: Data Analytics and Digital Manufacturing. It became evident that the teaching staff, regardless of their level of experience or academic degree, may benefit from organizational and people management training including processes and techniques related to I4.0.
