How authentic are assessments in vocational education? An analysis from Chilean teachers, students, and examinations

Authentic assessment promotes professional skills, bridging the gap between academic knowledge and real-world scenarios. Given the challenges faced by vocational education in Chile, there is a keen interest in assessment methods within both secondary schools and higher education institutions. A non-experimental quantitative design was employed. The methodological approach used was a cross-sectional survey. The study's sample included 244 students, 37 teachers, and a compilation of 905 questions sourced from written examinations. The findings reveal certain disparities in perspectives between teachers, students, and the examinations reviewed. On one hand, secondary vocational education teachers perceive the quality of assessments to exceed those of their counterparts in higher vocational education. Conversely, students in higher vocational education express a heightened sense of depth and engagement in their learning compared to their secondary vocational education peers. Upon examination of the assessments, it becomes evident that while written examinations are more prevalent in secondary vocational schools, these often involve open-ended and analytical inquiries. In contrast, higher vocational education institutions predominantly rely on closed-response questions that lean toward rote memorization. However, when these questions are open-ended, they are more oriented toward the transfer of knowledge compared to the secondary vocational education level. The level of realism is more pronounced in higher vocational education than in secondary vocational education. Both educational tiers exhibit gaps in attaining the principles of authentic assessment.

Knowledge, attitudes, practices, and perception of COVID-19 preventive measures among adult residents of Matadi (Democratic Republic of the Congo) after the third epidemic wave.

Several governments from African countries, including the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), implemented stringent public health measures to curb COVID-19 transmission in the early phases of the pandemic. While these restrictive measures are believed to have contributed to lowering case incidence and related mortality in DRC, data on the population's knowledge and adherence are limited. This study aimed to assess the knowledge, perception, attitudes, and practices of COVID-19 preventive measures and associated factors among adult residents of Matadi, thereby generating evidence for a strategy adjustment as the COVID-19 response is transitioning from emergency to control status. We used data from a population-based cross-sectional study conducted in October 2021. Consenting participants were enrolled through a multi-stage cluster sampling approach and administered a pre-tested structured questionnaire using a mobile application (Epicollect 5). We analyzed adult participants' data using STATA 15.1. Univariable and multivariable analyses were applied to identify factors associated with good knowledge, good perception, positive attitude and good practice. We included 1,269 adult respondents for the secondary analysis. One respondent in six was female. The median age was 36 years (IQR 24-50). Most respondents (76.5%) had good knowledge. Respondents aged 40-49 years and those with vocational education level were 1.7 time (AOR 1.75, 95% CI 1.07-2.87) and twice as likely (AOR 2.06, 95% CI 1.01-4.21) to have good knowledge. Preventive measures were perceived as efficient by 45% of respondents. Good perception was associated with education level, profession, average household monthly income and good knowledge. Only 40% of respondents had a positive attitude. A positive attitude was associated with age, education level, and good knowledge. Respondents having good practice represented 5.8%. Good practice was associated with good knowledge, attitude and perception. Most respondents were knowledgeable, had a good perception of government-related COVID-19 preventive measures, a moderately positive attitude and an extremely low level of good practice. Current COVID-19 preventive strategies, including vaccination rollout, need adjustment into high-efficiency, context-based and risk group-specific interventions. Evidence generated by this study will improve preparedness and response to future outbreaks.

Исследование мотивации выпускников в получении и продолжении педагогического образования

Introduction. “A teacher, if they are honest, must always be an intent learner” (Maxim Gorky). Education is a process that continues throughout a teacher's professional career and is an essential element in their growth and development as a specialist. The question of motivation in obtaining and continuing pedagogical education is related to the specific nature of the teacher's work as a translator of incentives to understand the reality. The purpose of this study was to examine the motives for obtaining and continuing pedagogical education. Materials and methods. The article presents the results analysis of a poll survey of graduates of pedagogical specialties at various levels of education: vocational training, bachelor's degree level, and master's degree level (176 people). The survey considered the aspects that reveal educational motivation, such as the probability of continuing education, the planned level and direction of training, the optimal form of education, motives for choosing a specialty, evaluation of the mastering quality level of educational programs, assessment of the teaching process at the university, evaluation of the situation with jobs while studying and prospects in the labor market, evaluation of professional training, and recommendations for improving the structure and content of educational programs.

Students at the vocational education level are the most motivated to continue their education, while master's degree students are more motivated to realize themselves in their chosen profession. However, at the bachelor's degree level, serious difficulties arise in maintaining motivation to continue pedagogical education. Graduates at all levels of education are increasingly opting for alternative directions when choosing further education. The poll results show that participation in practical activities plays a huge motivational role in professional training. However, students note a lack of such activities, including all types of internships. Conclusion. The data we gathered on the motives for obtaining and continuing pedagogical education should be taken into account when implementing the principles of continuous education.
