Full texts phenomenological analysis was utilized to analyze data from interviews in which beginning teachers reflected on their experiences in teacher education program and of being new teachers in public school context in Turkey. Findings have revealed that pre-service teachers were aware of many difficulties in public schools and ready to contend with those difficulties, yet some of the challenges they faced were beyond their initial anticipation. All those challenges were originated from teacher education program, Ministry of National Education&rsquo
s system itself, and local condition where beginning teachers were appointed. Suggestions for teacher education programs, Ministry of National Education, and administrators were proposed.

Five mentors and their six mentees were surveyed and interviewed to find how cross-race mentoring processes in an urban school district in the Commonwealth of Virginia work. Seven themes emerged from the study: (a) perceptions of the mentoring process; (b) perceptions of classroom management; (c) perceptions of school quality; (d) perceptions of urban teaching; (e) perceptions of White advantage; and (f) presence of White privilege.

Full textClassroom management has been the focal point of many different studies and research projects. Unfortunately, it has also been cited as one of the top three reasons teachers leave the field of education not only today, but for the last 40 years (Berry, 2010). There is a need for an understanding of the implications of past classroom management research trends, styles, and strategies that are popular but have not worked in the past. Realizing further research in teacher training programs was needed, this study included examinations of perceptions of teachers about how well prepared they were for the classroom environment, how effective they felt when dealing with issues in the classroom, and what teachers feel prepared them most to handle classroom management issues. To collect data, a mixed method study was conducted. A quantitative survey was used to gather perceptions of teachers using a Likert scale. A qualitative interview was conducted to gather perceptions of teachers, and a custom matrix was used to record responses from interview transcriptions. To validate data from the survey and interview, a literature review was compiled and compared to survey and interview results. Findings indicated mentoring and feedback from mentors and administrators helped teachers to feel better prepared for classroom management. Teachers felt more prepared for classroom management after their first year of teaching and after accepting their first job than they did prior to teaching, and those who had prior life experiences outside of teaching felt more prepared than those who did not. Likewise, engaging lessons and positive teacher and student relationships helped teachers to feel more effective in handling classroom management issues.

Full textTiivistelmä Tutkimukseni tarkastelee aloittelevien opettajien tarinoita ja vastaa kysymykseen: millaiset jännitteet luonnehtivat heidän työtään? Aiemmassa tutkimuksessa jännitteitä on pidetty henkilökohtaisina, mutta tässä tutkimuksessa painotetaan sitä, kuinka ne kietoutuvat ja syntyvät opettajien ja heidän koulujensa sosiaalisen ja mikropoliittisen ympäristön välisessä vuorovaikutuksessa. Jännitteet viittaavat tilanteisiin, joissa opettajat eivät tiedä miten toimia, kun erilaiset arvot ja näkemykset ovat ristiriidassa ja perusteltuja toimintatapoja on useita. Jännitteet eivät ole tunteita, mutta niihin liittyy usein voimakkaita tunnekokemuksia. Usein niitä pidetään vain ongelmina, mutta ne voivat myös olla lähtökohtana ammatilliselle kasvulle. Tutkimuksen empiirinen osa rakentuu kerronnallisen tutkimuksen perusajatukselle tarinoiden kerronnasta kertojan tapana rakentaa ymmärrystä itsestä ja ympäröivästä maailmasta. Pääaineistona ovat kuudentoista (16) japanilaisen aloittelevan opettajan kanssa haastatteluissa tuotetut tarinat. Yhtä osatutkimusta varten myös haastateltiin seitsemää (7) kokenutta opettajaa sekä tuotettiin kenttämuistiinpanoja eräällä yläasteella. Analyysissä käytettiin niin holistista lukutapaa, moniäänistä kerronnallisen ympäristön analyysia kuin perinteistä temaattista sisällönanalyysiäkin. Tulokset osoittavat aloittelevien opettajien työn jännitteiden liittyvän siihen, kuinka heidän ihanteensa hyvästä opettajuudesta kohtaavat koulun mikropoliittisessa ympäristössä näiden ihanteiden kanssa vastakkaisia odotuksia. Aloittelevan opettajan oletetaan ottavan juniorina alisteisen aseman suhteessa senioreihin. Tulokset osoittavat myös, että näkemyksissä hyvästä opettajasta korostuu yhteisten velvoitteiden asettaminen opettajan henkilökohtaisten näkemysten edelle. Toimimalla näitä odotuksia vastaan aloitteleva opettaja saattaisi vaarantaa työn kannalta tärkeitä kollegasuhteita ja päätyy siksi usein luopumaan ihanteistaan. Tällöin jännite syntyy siitä, että aloitteleva opettaja joutuu ihanteidensa sijaan omaksumaan niiden vastaisia näkemyksiä. Näiden jännitteiden kanssa eläminen ja käsitteleminen kietoutuvat niin opettajien hyvinvointiin kuin työssä pysymiseen. Tämän vuoksi niihin tulisi kiinnittää riittävästi huomiota sekä opettajankoulutuksessa että työelämässä

Full textExtensive review of the pertinent literature on sexual harassment was undertaken to support a critical analysis of the expressed perceptions and experiences of these students. Methods such as focus group discussions were employed with semi-structured interviews (open-ended questions) and memory writing as qualitative data gathering techniques to conduct group interviews and individual sessions with a random sample of 40 participants from two teacher training institutions of the country, the University College of Education in Winneba and Bagabaga Training College in Tamale. Female participants were engaged individually in memory writing using procedural guidelines.
The study found out that the main factors predisposing trainee teachers to sexual harassment in Ghanaian Teacher Training Institutions are Institutional practices by both teachers and students and the Institutional environment created from inadequate or complete absence of physical structures aimed at preventing sexual harassment and assaults. The lack of explicit policies to check sexual abuse, including sexual harassment, work in concert with the aforementioned institutional characteristics to create conditions that facilitate sexual harassment of female trainee teachers in the Ghanaian context. All these accumulate into an apparent institutional framework of sexual harassment that supports a regime of blatant disregard of the safety concerns of female trainee teachers.
Based on the testimonies of the students, it would appear that the problem of sexual harassment perpetrated by people in positions of authority is widespread in Ghana. Female student teachers are regularly exposed to a range of sexually motivated abuses within the learning environment, and these abuses are often carried out by tutors, professors, administrative staff and senior students. These three categories of agents of sexual harassment take advantage of available or perceived institutional power to abuse vulnerable female students. Also, perpetrators of sexual harassment against female students are not held accountable for their acts, thus perpetuating these abuses. By their very nature, the institutions of learning in Ghana are very hierarchically structured, such that power, might and right are often easily accorded to tutors over students, administrative staff over students and senior students over their junior counterparts. Most often they abuse the power and influence of their positions with threats of reprisals when the females refuse to consent to their sexual demands. The victimized females suffer untold consequences, which are minimized at every step in this structured power system.

Full textBecause of the increase of online education options and the continuously increasing demands on teacher time, this case study analyzed online mentoring's effectiveness for beginning teachers in one Midwestern school. Specifically, the case study analyzed what, if any, the effects were of including an online learning forum to modify the traditional teacher mentoring program as well as the experiences of the mentees. A further analysis was conducted considering the administrator's role in the creation and facilitation of an online learning forum for teacher mentoring. To guide the creation and maintenance of the online learning forum, the participating teachers completed the survey 'Beginning Teacher's Views on Practice' three times throughout the year of research. Both quantitative survey data as well as qualitative data including in-depth interviews and discussion board posts were later analyzed. From the survey analysis it was concluded that of the 12 areas of needed development indicated by the participating teachers, nine indicated minimal to strong positive growth. This level of growth indicated the online learning forum was able to provide beginning teachers with necessary career development. In regard to the experience of the mentees, through indepth surveys it was indicated that the online mentoring program often reflected aspects of previously conducted research; however, most importantly, the online learning forum experience provided a structured but personalized approach to learning. Considering the administrator's role in the facilitation of the online learning forum, it was concluded that the role is complex in that no matter the amount of trust and community built between the administrator and the beginning teachers, there is still a supervisor-subordinate relationship that is difficult to overcome. Although this case study offers a general context of an online learning forum for beginning teachers, further studies should investigate a larger number of participants who span several schools or several districts to increase participation and variety of perceptions and experiences. Further, it would be advantageous to investigate how multiple, non-administrative mentors who maintain the online learning forum affect the participants' experiences.

PROGRAMA DE EXCELENCIA ACADEMICA
O professor iniciante e o início de sua carreira têm merecido pouca atenção por parte dos pesquisadores brasileiros, embora seja uma fase importante para a construção da identidade e desenvolvimento profissional do professor. O objetivo mais amplo desta pesquisa foi compreender como o professor iniciante constrói sua aprendizagem profissional no ciclo de alfabetização de modo a se desenvolver profissionalmente. Parti, para realizá-lo, das ideias de que o professor é um sujeito ativo no seu processo de aprendizagem, capaz de relacionar suas experiências formativas e práticas (MARCELO GARCIA, 2009) e de que, ao ser inserido na carreira, ele passa por um ciclo de aprendizagem profissional (HUBERMAN, 1992). A pesquisa foi realizada com 6 professores, com tempo de experiência profissional variando entre 2 e 4 anos, que atuavam ou tinham atuado no ciclo de alfabetização na fase de iniciação (HUBERMAN, 1992), em escolas públicas – municipais e federais – e privadas do município do Rio de Janeiro. Adotei o procedimento metodológico de entrevistas semiestruturadas, entendidas como espaços de produção de narrativas que, como texto que são, abrem-se a múltiplas interpretações (KRAMER, 2002). Compartilho com Emilia Freitas de Lima (2006) o pressuposto de que a formação de professores é um processo contínuo, sem um fim estabelecido a priori, do qual fazem parte a experiência acumulada durante a passagem pela escola enquanto estudante; a formação profissional específica – formação inicial –; a iniciação na carreira e a passagem de estudante a professor e a formação contínua. A primeira parte das análises se concentrou nas trajetórias dos professores na educação básica, passando pela formação – inicial e contínua – e chegando até suas atuais experiências e práticas como professores em início de carreira. As análises foram fundamentadas nos conceitos de campo, habitus, capital e estratégias da Sociologia de Pierre Bourdieu (2004, 2007, 2009, 2011, 2013). Destacam-se a opção pela docência marcada por uma não escolha (LELIS, 1996) e a presença da família incentivando, apoiando, influenciando ou rejeitando essa opção (NOGUEIRA, 1998). A segunda parte se estruturou a partir de dois eixos que emergiram das narrativas como significativos para a compreensão do problema de pesquisa: o início e os meios. Com relação ao primeiro, foi possível chegar à conclusão de que as dificuldades inerentes ao início da carreira, tais como mau comportamento dos alunos, competição entre os colegas e interferência dos pais são mais facilmente superadas com o apoio da equipe gestora da escola. No que diz respeito aos meios foram relatadas práticas pedagógicas de leitura e escrita, bem como autores de referência em torno da alfabetização, enfatizando a centralidade desse período do ensino fundamental, que demanda conhecimentos específicos tanto da parte de quem ensina, quanto da parte de quem aprende. Considerando o início da docência como uma fase diferenciada, com características e necessidades próprias, que demanda apoio e formação específicos (MARCELO, 1999, 2011; MARIANO, 2006; PAPI E MARTINS, 2010), a pesquisa destaca a necessidade de viabilizar um maior apoio institucional ao professor (alfabetizador) iniciante nas escolas, aliado a programas e políticas de iniciação/inserção e formação.
Despite of being an important stage for the development of its professional identity, the early stages of professor s professional career seems to be yet underexplored by Brazilian researchers. From the perspective that professors have an active role on their learning process, able to connect their practical and theoretical experiences (MARCELO GARCIA, 2009), and once initiated on their careers they go through a professional learning cycle (HUBERMAN, 1992), the broader aim of this research is to understand how professors on their early stages build their professional learning at the literacy cycle, connecting its theoretical and practical experiences in order to obtain professional development. Present research was completed with six professors with professional experience between 2 and 5 years, that have currently or past experience at the literacy cycle on the initiation stage (HUBERMAN, 1992); at public schools – municipal and federal – and private schools within Rio de Janeiro city. Interviews were used as a methodological tool. Interviews, understood as narrative production spaces, give room for multiple interpretations (KRAMER, 2002). Based on Lima s (2006) assumption that professor s development is a continuous process, without a firm established end, in which takes part its own experience as a student; specific professor formation – undergraduate degree - ; career commencement and its passage from student to professor to continuous development, first phase of the analysis was concentrated on the professors paths at the basic education, passing through formation – initial and continuous – up to their current practices and experiences as early stage professors. Analysis were completed having Bourdieu (2004, 2007, 2009, 2011, 2013) concepts of habitus, strategy and capital as drivers. It should be highlighted the option for a professorial career as a nonoption (LELIS, 1996) and family s influence, either supporting or rejecting this option (NOGUEIRA, 1998). Second phase was structured based on three axis that arose from the narratives as important for the research problem understanding: early stages, learning and literacy cycle. Regarding the early stages it was possible to conclude that difficulties associated with early stages of the career, such as students behaviour; competition among colleagues and parents interference are easily overcome with support given by school managerial team. In connection to the learning process, professor were unanimous in point the insufficiency of their degree, highlighting their relationship with their pairs – either within the school and outside the school as a privileged element of its professional learning. Finally, regarding the literacy cycle, pedagogical practices such as reading and writing, together with prestigious authors and public policy associated with literacy, highlighting the key importance of such period of the fundamental cycle, which demands specific knowledge (TARDIF, 2007) have been described by professors interviewed. Considering the early stages of a professor career as a differential stage, with particular characteristics and needs, demanding specific support and education (MARCELO, 1999, 2011; MARIANO, 2006; PAPI E MARTINS, 2010) current research highlights the need for a major institutional support for the literacy professors in the early stages of their career, complemented by induction/ introduction policies together with continuous developing programs.
