The retention question in context-specific teacher education: Do beginning teachers and their program leaders see teachers' future career eye to eye     

Eran Tamir 《Teaching and Teacher Education》2010

This paper discusses the challenge of retaining teachers in hard-to-staff schools by examining how it is addressed in three context specific teacher education programs, which prepare teachers to teach in urban public, urban Catholic, and Jewish Day Schools in U.S.A. The findings of this study suggest that counter to teaching force trends teachers from the three programs that we studied expressed high motivation to serve as teachers or leaders in their particular schools and communities. In particular, we found that teachers' career commitments developed around the religious or civic missions promoted by their respective programs. Finally, teachers' career perceptions seem to correlate, though not entirely match, with those of their program leaders.  相似文献   

Reflections on soccer,sovereignty and the state of exception     

Tamir Bar-On 《Soccer & Society》2018,19(4):534-559

In this paper, I examine soccer, sovereignty and the state of exception. The paper is a pedagogical tool for undergraduate students in order for them to learn about sovereignty and the ‘state of exception’ through soccer, the world’s most popular sport. I begin by examining differing conceptions of sovereignty and the state of exception. I then highlight the fate of soccer under various states of exception. I focus on Pinochet’s Chile, but also provide examples from the Argentinean military junta, Nazi Germany and El-Sisi’s Egypt. I then reflect about soccer, sovereignty, and the state of exception in relation to Fédération Internationale de Football Association. I offer concluding remarks about soccer and states of exception. I argue that states of exception are in theory opportunities for change because they expose the naked aggression of states, but in practice they represent a danger for soccer players, fans and democracy.  相似文献

Interest in biology. Part I: A multidimensional construct     

Paul L. Gardner  Pinchas Tamir 《科学教学研究杂志》1989,26(5):409-423

Interest in a school subject (e.g., biology) is conceptualized in terms of three components: topics, activities, and motives, each of which has several dimensions. In this study, seven instruments were developed and administered to grade-10 biology students in Israel. Factor analysis provided support for the conceptualization which underlies the development of the instruments. Topic dimensions included biochemical processes, nonhuman organisms, human biology, personal hygiene, and practical applications; the activity dimensions were experiential learning, reception learning, writing/summarizing and group discussion; motives included environmental issues, moral issues, examination success, personal independence, problem solving, and four career dimensions (research, high-status professions, lower-status careers, “woodsy-birdsy” careers). In an analysis described in Part II of this paper, the students were classified into four groups on the basis of their grade-11 subject enrollment intentions: H (high-level biology), L (low-level biology), P (physical science), and N (no science). Zero-order and multiple correlations were found between interest and other variables and membership/nonmembership of the four groups. Students in Group H were characterized by higher achievement in year-10 biology, higher levels of enjoyment of biology, career orientations towards research or high-status biology-based professions, greater interest in various biology topics, especially reproduction/cell division/genetics, and a greater tendency to regard the Bagrut (grade-12) examination as interesting. Students in Group N displayed lower levels of interest in various topics (especially the microscope, plants, and reproduction), were less motivated to solve problems, had poorer grades in biology (and chemistry), were less likely to perceive biology as useful, were less likely to regard the Bagrut examination as fair, and were less likely to be interested in social modes of learning. There were few associations between interest variables and membership in Groups L or P.  相似文献   

Facet design and smallest space analysis of teachers' instructional behavior     

Ehud Bar-On  Arye Perlberg 《Studies in Educational Evaluation》1985,11(1):95-103

The essence of research in the behavioral sciences is to help in forming theories that will enhance understanding of behavior. In this study an attempt is made to construct such a theory of students' perceptions of their teachers' instructional behaviors and to verify it by empirical evidence. Guttman's definition of a theory was adopted here: “An hypothesis of a correspondence between a definitional system for a universe of observation and an aspect of the empirical structure of those observations, together with a rationale for such an hypothesis” (Shye, 1978). Data was collected through a questionnaire administered to two thousand highschool students. Facet design and smallest space analysis (SSA) were used to construct a theory that was then verified by empirical evidence. The results are consistent with previous studies done by Bar-On (Bar-On & Perlberg, 1976; Klinging & Bar-On, 1975) which employed also facet design and smallest space analysis.  相似文献   

The Media and Economic Voting in Israel   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

Sheafer  Tamir 《Int. Journal of Public Opinion Research》2008,20(1):33-51

The premise of the economic voting hypothesis is that citizensvote for the government if the national economy is doing well;otherwise, they vote against it. The causal chain of effectsin the economic voting hypothesis starts from the objectiveeconomic indicators, moves on to voter perceptions of the economy,and then to the vote. Under the competence hypothesis that isanalyzed here, this causal chain is slightly modified, withthe objective economy as the first step, voter perceptions ofthe economic competence of the government as the second step,and then the vote. It is argued that citizens learn about thestate of the national economy mainly from the media. Yet, onlyfew studies of economic voting include empirical analyses ofthe media's role in it. The findings support the competencehypothesis and the important role of the media in it. They underlinethe valuable contribution of media effects theories, and especiallymedia framing and priming, to our understanding of economicvoting.  相似文献
