Since the turn of the century, teacher evaluation has been introduced around the world with the intent to improve teaching. However, in the literature on teacher evaluation, often findings reveal critical accounts about the effectiveness of feedback in teacher evaluation for teacher and school improvement. This article presents a qualitative study in eight schools where teachers did indicate to find the feedback they discussed with school leaders during teacher evaluation processes useful. In this study, we investigate whether we can identify what teachers actually do with this feedback and which factors contribute to their response. Our findings demonstrate the importance of school organizational characteristics and an integrated leadership approach for the feedback response of teachers. Also, our findings reveal how teacher evaluation is used in these schools to further school improvement. 相似文献
This paper aims to gain insight into language production and academic language of 4- and 5-year-old students and their teachers in the course of a teacher intervention during kindergarten science education. The study is based on videotaped classroom observations, and specifically focuses on the academic language use of students (Nintervention = 18, Ncontrols = 26) and teachers (Nintervention = 5, Ncontrols = 5). The results suggest that this general teacher intervention yields interesting changes in language use and production. Patterns of change over time confirm the idiosyncratic and non-linear nature of these changes. Science lessons represent an appropriate context in which to acquaint students with academic language, which can be used as a basis to build upon more sophisticated language skills. 相似文献
In Flanders (Belgium), a new teacher evaluation policy was issued which placed a lot of autonomy with school principals to develop and implement a new teacher evaluation system. In this study, we explore how Flemish principals perceive the new teacher evaluation policy and what influences their perception. Results demonstrate that principals perceive the policy as clear, but they are rather negative about the need, practicality, and complexity of the summative teacher evaluation. This perception is influenced by policy, context, and individual factors as is demonstrated in our qualitative analyses. 相似文献
This study investigates the relationship between the quality of student dialogue and students’ ability to justify their viewpoints
on a moral issue. A curriculum unit for dialogic citizenship education was developed and implemented in the 8th grade of secondary
education. In the final lesson, students discussed a moral issue and then wrote an essay on it. The results show that students
who made more value-related utterances during the discussion also referred more often and more explicitly in their individually
written essays to moral values. This study indicates that the quality of the content of students’ dialogue is important for
their ability to substantiate their opinion on moral issues with value-laden argumentation. Approaches to citizenship education
in which dialogue is a central element should, therefore, pay specific attention to the validation of ideas in student dialogue. 相似文献
In many Western countries the pressure exerted on immigrants to integrate has become intense in recent years. Efforts to preserve their ethnic identity through multicultural recognition has now been replaced by the requirements of active civic participation and assimilation. Of course integration is considered important not only for the immigrant parents but also for their children. The central question in this article is whether there is a relationship between the degree of integration of the immigrant parents and the generation of their children on the one hand and the level of language and numeracy achievement of the children on the other. To answer this question we use data collected in 2008 from the Dutch COOL5–18 cohort study. The information comes from more than 9000 immigrant and 16,000 indigenous children and their parents. The results show that as immigrant parents are better integrated and their children are of later generations, the language and numeracy skills of the children improve, though there remain large differences in achievement between different ethnic groups. 相似文献
In this study, we examined how perceptual-motor expertise and watching experience contribute to anticipating the outcome of opponents' attacking actions in beach volleyball. To this end, we invited 8 expert beach volleyball players, 8 expert coaches, 8 expert referees, and 8 control participants with no beach volleyball experience to watch videos of attack sequences that were occluded at three different times and to predict the outcome of these situations. Results showed that expert players and coaches (who were both perceptual-motor experts) outperformed the expert referees (who were watching experts but did not have the same motor expertise) and the control group in the latest occlusion condition (i.e., at spiker-ball contact). This finding suggests that perceptual-motor expertise may contribute to successful action anticipation in beach volleyball. 相似文献
The interaction between functional and dysfunctional emotions, as one of the major tenets of the individual zones of optimal functioning (IZOF) model (Hanin, 2000), was studied in a sport specific setting. Fourteen female gymnasts performed three attempts of a compulsory balance beam routine at three different heights. Heart rate and self-report of functional and dysfunctional emotions were measured during each routine. These data revealed the effectiveness of inducting emotions by manipulating height. Also, performance decreased on the most challenging condition, (i.e., the first attempt on the highest height). Moderated hierarchical regression analysis revealed a significant interaction between functional and dysfunctional emotions only when the dysfunctional emotion level was low. 相似文献
This article focuses on the enhancement of social competence of students in secondary education. In the literature two perspectives on social competence can be distinguished: an ‘educating for adulthood’ perspective and an ‘educating for citizenship’ perspective. From each perspective goals are formulated for what education should be aimed at and what teachers could strive for. By means of a survey, teachers' educational goals regarding the social domain were explored. The results show that teachers unanimously emphasize educational goals from the ‘educating for adulthood’ perspective. The citizenship goals receive less attention. Irrespective of the perspective, pre‐vocational teachers appear less confident than general secondary teachers regarding the attainability of the goals for their students. They intend to contribute to the development of social competence of their students in their own lessons more often. In conclusion, we argue that teaching strategies should be developed that support teachers' contribution to their students' development of social competence, particularly the citizenship elements.
Cet article traite l'apprentissage d'une compétence sociale des élèves dans l'éducation secondaire. La littérature professionnelle distingue deux visions sur la compétence sociale: une vision orientée vers l'âge adulte et l'autre orientée vers la citoyennet. Chacune des ces visions connaît des objectifs spécifiques qui amènent leur propre façon d'enseignement et le rôle de l'enseignant là‐dedans. Les objectifs éducatifs des professeurs concernant le domaine social ont été explorés au moyen d'un aperçu. Les résultats prouvent que les professeurs soulignent unanimement les objectifs éducatifs s'orientant vers âge adulte, tandis que les objectifs s'orientant vers la citoyenneté suscitent moins d'attention. Indépendamment de ces deux visions, les professeurs du primaire semblent moins confiants que les professeurs du secondaire quand il s'agit de la faisabilité des objectifs par leurs élèves. Ceux‐là sont plus souvent prêts à contribuer au développement de la compétence sociale de leurs élèves pendant leurs propres leçons. En conclusion nous plaidons en faveur du développement de stratégies d'enseignement stimulant les professeurs à contribuer à la compétence sociale de leurs élèves, en particulier en ce qui concerne les aspects de citoyenneté.
Dieser Aufsatz beschäftigt sich mit der Verbesserung der Sozialkompetenz von Schülern im Sekundarbereich. In der Fachliteratur zum Thema Sozialkompetenz lassen sich zwei Perspektiven unterscheiden: Erstens die der “Erziehung zum Erwachsenen” und zweitens die der “Erziehung zum Staatsbürger”. Aus beiden Perspektiven werden für den Ausbildungssektor und für die Leherarbeit Ziele formuliert. Mittels einer Umfrage wurde in dieser Studie ermittelt, welche pädagogischen Ziele Lehrer sich im Bereich der sozialen Kompetenz setzen. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass Lehrer einstimmig pädagogische Ziele aus der Perspektive der “Erziehung zum Erwachsenen” betonen. Im Vergleich dazu erhalten Staatsbürgerschaftsziele weniger Aufmerksamkeit. In Bezug auf die erreichbarkeit der Ziele für ihre Schüler zeigen sich Lehrer im berufsvorbereitenden Unterricht, ungeachtet der Perspektive, weniger zuversichtlich als Lehrer im allgemeinbildenden Bereich. Sie haben häufiger die Absicht in ihrem eigenen Unterricht zur Entwicklung der Sozialkompetenz ihrer Schüler beizutragen. Wir schlussfolgern, dass Unterrichtsstrategien zu entwickeln sind, die Lehrern dabei helfen können, zur Entwicklung der Sozialkompetenz ihrer Schüler beizutragen, besonders dort wo es um die Staatsbürgerschaftelemente geht.
Este artículo se centra en la importancia de la competencia social de los alumnos en la educación secundaria. En la literatura se pueden distinguir dos perspectivas acerca de la competencia social: una perspectiva `que se dirige a una educación para la edad adulta' y una perspectiva `que se dirige a una educación para la ciudadanía'. Desde cada perspectiva se han formulado las metas que deben de alcanzar tanto la educación como los profesores. A través de una investigación se exploraron las metas de los profesores respecto al dominio social. Los resultados demuestran que los profesores de forma unánime dan más importancia a las metas educativas desde la perspectiva de ‘adulthood’. A las metas acerca de la ciudadanía se presta menos atención. Independientemente de la perspectiva, los profesores prevocacionales parecen tener menos confidencia que los profesores de secundaria que los alumnos alcancen las metas. Más a menudo tienden a contribuir al desarrollo de la competencia social de los alumnos en sus propias clases. Concluyendo, discutimos que se desarrollen las estrategias de aprendizaje que soportan la contribución del profesor al desarrollo de la competencia social del alumno, sobre todo los elementos de ciudadanía. 相似文献
