Relevant teacher qualifications that include specialist knowledge and knowledge in didactics significantly influence the level of achievement of education goals during the teaching process. Teacher's perception of their own professional competence to teach may depend on their qualification which is linked to the education obtained. The purpose of the research was to find out how teachers who teach Home Economics in Slovenian elementary schools estimate their competence to teach Home Economics contents, in reference to their formal education. 89 teachers of 5th and 6th grade Home Economics participated in the research. They were classified according to their formal education, either in the group with completed Home Economics studies (relevant education) or in the group without these studies (irrelevant education). A questionnaire was developed for the teachers to assess their own teaching competence. The obtained data was analysed with descriptive and inferential statistical methods. Results indicated that teachers with completed home economics studies who teach Home Economics feel more competent to teach Home Economics contents than teachers without completed relevant studies. Differences in their perceptions exist in all four Home Economics modules, i.e. economics, textile and clothing, living and environment, food and nutrition. This leads to the conclusion that relevant teacher education is important for teaching Home Economics in all specialist areas of home economics education. As regards providing quality education process and achieving Home Economics education goals, the results indicate that relevant qualifications of teachers should be ensured. Teachers with irrelevant education should be provided with additional professional training. Key words: teachers' education, teachers' competencies, Home Economics, Home Economics teachers, home economics education.

This study reports a further analysis of data presented by Chalmers, Carter, Clayton and Hook (in press) that examined teachers’ perceptions of possible best practice, reported implementation and training needs. Teachers of students with severe disabilities in 3 NSW Department of School Education regions were surveyed with 83 useable surveys being returned. Comparisons were made between teachers who worked in Schools for Specific Purposes (SSP) and those who working in support classes in regular schools as well as teachers with formal special education qualifications and those without such qualifications. Teachers in support classes reported a higher level of agreement with a majority of practices and disproportionately high levels of implementation when compared with teachers in SSPs. Teachers with formal special education qualifications reported higher levels of agreement than teachers without formal qualifications on the majority of items, but implementation levels were similar. There also appeared to be systematic differences in reported inservice training needs. Inadequacies in therapy services were reported as a barrier to best practice by over 50% of support class teachers.

Abstract This study reports on teachers’ attitudes towards their students’ speech varieties of English. A sample of 172 primary, district high and secondary teachers in Western Australian schools was surveyed on their attitudes towards language variation and towards their students’ use of specific English variants. The teachers were found to have generally conservative attitudes, particularly with regard to their students’ use of non-standard features. These features were also associated with falling language standards. The impact of the teacher background factors of gender, age, level of teaching qualification, teaching experience and professional development on attitudes was also considered. However, only teacher qualifications and length of experience were found to be significant and this influence was restricted to attitudes towards language varieties. Such findings have important implications for speakers of non-standard sociolects who would tend to use these features more often. It is of particular concern where teachers associate the use of non-standard varieties with lower academic ability as has been found in other research. The findings suggest that teachers need to understand the relationships between standard and non-standard varieties, written and spoken forms, formal and informal registers, and developmental and non-standard features.

Full textAbstract:
Based on a statewide survey of professional learning activities among 577 middle school mathematics teachers in Missouri, this study examined two questions: 1) What professional learning activities do middle school math teachers participate in and how much time do they spend in these activities?, and 2) How are teacher qualifications and contextual characteristics associated with the amount of their professional learning activities? The study examined seven types of formal and informal professional learning activities: 1) professional development programs, 2) teacher collaboration, 3) university courses, 4) professional conferences, 5) mentoring/coaching, 6) informal communications, and 7) individual learning activities. The study found that middle school mathematics teachers spend the greatest amount of time involved in teacher collaboration, professional development programs, and individual learning activities. In addition, mathematics teachers in high-poverty and ethnically diverse districts tend to spend more time in formal learning activities such as professional development programs, teacher collaboration, and mentoring/coaching than do mathematics teachers in wealthier and less diverse districts. To promote a greater level of teachers’ participation in shared learning activities, it is important for district and school administrators to offer professional learning activities that meet mathematics teachers’ learning needs for understanding students’ mathematical knowledge and thinking.

Among the many requirements posed today for the education system, the question of teacher competence deserves special attention. Previous explorations have demonstrated the unquestionable excellence of professional competences over formal qualifications, including in other professions. Psychological competences, increasingly appreciated by psychologists, are still searching for their place in pedagogy and other scientific disciplines. When I examined the social competence profiles of a particular group of teachers of academic military universities, I decided to show a new perspective on education in the army. I presented the subject matter with the help of a standardized measurement tool on the example of The War Studies University in Warsaw.

Full textAbstract:
The teaching of medical skills to medical students and to other doctors is a skill in itself. The traditional ‘apprenticeship’ system of learning within medicine is now known to be inefficient and flawed, in both the UK and in other countries where it has been scrutinised. This article sets out guiding principles to help doctors set up ‘teaching the teachers' courses, which teach the skills of teaching. Psychiatrists at all grades, from senior house officer up to consultant, need some teaching skills, and the authors outline how to plan a course, determine the needs of potential learners and set its objectives and content. Guidance is given on some of the opportunities that are available to obtain formal qualifications in medical education.

Full textAbstract:
Modern education, implemented in specially targeted institutions, in most cases cannot ensure high performance of graduates. A future teacher should possess not only a high level of qualifications but also creative thinking, the ability to use innovative methods and technologies. The improvement of the integrated abilities of future teachers is based on the appropriate competent combination of the Russian educational tradition with innovative types of education. University programs usually only follow the state educational standards, without contributing to the individual self-identification of young citizens. Today, education should be positioned as a daily intellectual work that reveals the potential of a schoolchild or student and contributes to building the required competencies. Consequently, non-formal education should become part of a teacher’s life, implying both personal cognitive activity and spontaneous education, carried out due to a personal activity in a rapidly developing educational space. The student should not only know a foreign language and master teaching methods, but also demonstrate an adequate intellectual level, the ability to reflect, to conduct scientific research, to predict learning outcomes. Unfortunately, at this stage, the potential of non-formal education in the field of foreign languages is not sufficiently used, which makes it difficult to improve the research skills of future school teachers.

Full textAbstract:
Although qualified special educators are more likely to provide effective teaching for students with disabilities and special education needs, it seems many teachers in special education and support positions are not qualified for this role. The study reported here provided analysis of 219 job advertisements for special education positions in order to ascertain what employers required of applicants for special education positions. Advertisements represented all states and sectors in Australia, although the sample does not fully reflect the relative numbers of schools in each state. Most positions were for class teachers or for teachers providing support within and across schools. Special education qualifications and experience in special education were not common criteria for employment. The concerns raised by this finding are addressed through suggestions for formal recognition for special educators and accreditation of teacher education programs preparing special educators.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Early childhood teachers are a unique population of teachers and it is important to determine amendable factors that contribute to their stress. According to available research, challenging child behavior is associated with teacher stress and burnout in school-aged teachers. Given the lack of formal and coordinated in-service education and varied qualifications, early childhood teachers are particularly vulnerable to stress. Further, young children are more likely to have challenging behavior given their social-emotional developmental levels. The purpose of this study was to explore teacher characteristics and perceptions related to their stress, commitment, support, and challenging child behavior in their classrooms. Participants included 100 early childhood professionals. A teacher survey was utilized to determine their perceptions related to key variables. Regression analyses documented teacher commitment and challenging behavior in the classroom uniquely predicted variance in teacher ratings of stress and burnout. Commitment to their job was also a significant predictor to their perceptions of challenging behavior. However, only teacher stress/burnout predicted ratings of challenging behavior; thus, relationships among variables may be more complex. Teachers’ years of experience and education level were not related to other variables. For exploratory purposes, teacher professional development perceptions were also surveyed and results indicated that the vast majority of early childhood educators felt professional development was a good use of their time and that they wished more opportunities were available; however, most also indicated they felt training covered information they already knew.

Full textAbstract:
This paper reports on the implementation of a model that infuses service-learning into a four-year foundation phase teacher education programme. We argue for an integrated curriculum design utilising specifically the teaching (laboratory) school of the faculty, not only for clinical experience or work-integrated learning, but also for service-learning. In this way, the relation of the teacher education programme to the teaching school and its location within Soweto, an area within Johannesburg, optimises the affordances of learning from and through experience for students. The service-learning activities were designed to inform and draw on students’ practical and situational learning (learning in and about context) and address the notions of integrated and applied knowledge in the ‘Minimum Requirements for Teacher Education Qualifications’ (RSA DHET 2011). We argue in this paper that the incremental inclusion of service-learning over a four-year period and the varied nature of the service-learning projects within the programme extend students’ learning from practice, provide opportunities for students to see people outside of formal education as ‘experts’ who have something to contribute to their education, and maximize the potential civic and academic outcomes for students.

The purpose of this research was to identify opportunities for Event Managers to gain certification and recognition for their knowledge, skills and competences. The results of the research can represent a base for developing a National Qualifications Standard of Event Management, and a reference to develop the European Qualification Framework (INVENT 2017-1-UK01-KA202, 2018). The aim of this research was to determine an effective view of Event Management and the Event Manager’s career path for future reference. The survey showed some gaps in formal and informal educational programs of Event Management in Slovenia, and some suggestions to improve the quality of that field and how to train the teachers who train Event Managers follow. To evaluate the hypothesis, a model for assessing education programs of event management has been developed, using the computer program Dexi. This instrument serves to verify the presence or absence of skills from the National Qualification Standard. The system allows you to check if the quality of the education program is appropriate, and what needs to be done to improve the quality.

Full textAbstract:
Grade R is the year before learners in South Africa start formal schooling and has been part of the General Education Training Band (GET) since 1998. New efforts are being made to enable all five- to six-year-olds to attend a Grade R class. The nine provinces of South Africa approach this problem in different ways. Some of them, like Gauteng, try to establish Grade R classes at primary schools, but in the process seem to appoint many teachers with only minimum qualifications. This article reports on research requested by the Gauteng Department of Education about the school readiness of Grade R learners. The school readiness performance of 114 Grade R learners was measured by means of a standardized school readiness test. The results confirmed the worst fears of department officials: most of the participants were not school ready after attending a year in a Grade R class. The article concludes with some recommendations, among others that attention should be given to the qualifications of teachers and that parents should become more involved.

The purpose of this paper is to describe the status of coaching and coach education in Spain. Particular emphasis is placed on legislative evolution of the qualifications of sport coaches and the repercussions it has had on the sport and education system. The formal training of sport coaches in Spain has undergone many legislative changes since the promulgation of the Constitution in 1978. This period of legislative changes has been long and has not ended as a single process. Transitory provisions are still being used to impart and approve training courses. The changes adopted have served to introduce sport teaching into the Spanish education system as a special education system; and to homogenize the study plans, the requisites for teachers who give the courses and the administrative procedures, among the different sport disciplines. The equalization of professional sport qualifications at the European level is now more feasible.

Full textAbstract:
The formal educational requirements for principals in Canada vary significantly between educational jurisdictions. Principals are typically unprepared to lead inclusive schools upon graduation from educational leadership programs, despite the importance of formal education and experience in inclusive education in order to lead inclusive schools. Being unprepared includes lacking knowledge about students with exceptionalities and how they can and should be accommodated. Whether administrators value and support inclusion is imperative to schools being inclusive. Support of inclusion can include the use of teachers’ varied and extensive skill set through distributed leadership. The utilization of a leadership style focused on distributed leadership can be addressed through educational leadership programs, but also through professional development programs such as locally developed programs on mentorship. Educational leadership programs need to change in order to develop leaders for inclusive schools. Until such change occurs, principals are in significant need of professional development on inclusive education and how to lead inclusive schools.

Full textAbstract:
The summative assessment approach of all level three Business and Technology Education Council (BTEC) qualifications is changing away from a purely teacher-based, criterion-referencing internal assessment approach to a mixture of internal and external assessments including exams for core units. As this is a shift away from what teachers may be familiar with, the question of whether teachers are cognisant of how to effectively prepare students for high-stake exams arises. This paper reports on a pilot study preparing such an investigation by developing questionnaires with relevant techniques recommended in the literature and then comparing responses of two groups of teachers. One group is BTEC lecturers who may be unfamiliar with exam preparation. The other group routinely prepare further education students for General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) exams and, therefore, is familiar with exam preparation techniques and serves as a control group. One aspect of the research outcomes pertains to the refinement of the research method and suggests incorporating a formal interview. The other aspect relates to the tentative research results, which found that the responses of both groups have a high degree of agreement. However, there are some differences when it comes to detailed assessment preparation planning, student motivation and parental involvement. As the number of participants was very small, any conclusions suggested here need to be substantiated by a larger sample involving more than one college.

One of the positive effects of globalization processes is providing international quality of education, promoting the development of information and communication technologies and their dissemination in education. Globalization manifestations of ensuring the quality of education are: training a specialist of innovative type; international mobility of trained labor force; mutual recognition of qualifications by countries in order to enable recruitment of specialists from other countries; rapid response to the development of the modern economy by training specialists of new qualifications with knowledge of new technologies; increasing the number of foreign students; increasing the number of paid-for-study students who consider high-quality education a significant investment; maintenance of the level of competitiveness of the country in the world export market of education. The purpose of the article is to develop methods for diagnosing the formation of ОНЮМКtТoЧ qЮКlТtв ЦКЧКРОЦОЧt spОМТКlТsts’ managerial and qualitative competence. The criteria for the diagnostics are: motivational-axiological, cognitive, active. The method developed by us involves formal and informal types of theoretical and practical training of educational systems quality specialists. It has been approbated. The quality of the method is statistically confirmed using the Pearson method and single factor analysis dispersion. In the future, the developed methodology for diagnostics of managerial and qualitative competence is proposed to be improved. This improved version is used to identify teachers with a high level of competency. From these teachers, in the future, one can form experts on the quality of education at different levels: local (for institutions of higher education), regional and even national.

Studien undersøker veiledning av nyutdannede lærere ved en norsk ungdomsskole. Artikkelen problematiserer de ekstra krevende arbeidsbetingelsene som disse nye lærerne møtte i sitt første år, da de ble satt til å undervise i skolefag de ikke hadde studert. Forskningsspørsmålet er: Hvordan fremstiller nyutdannede ungdomsskolelærere sine opplevelser med å undervise i skolefag de ikke selv er formelt kvalifisert i, og på hvilke måter kan veiledning bidra med støtte? Artikkelen presenterer utdrag fra veiledningssamtaler som eksemplifiserer to nye læreres fremstilling av eget arbeid med elevvurdering når de mangler formell kvalifikasjon i faget. De nyutdannedes perspektiv, og mentorens, fremheves som et samspill gjennom interaksjonsanalyse. Artikkelens teoretiske bidrag er analysebegrepene – «psykologisk-emosjonell mentorstøtte» og «faglig-profesjonell mentorstøtte» – som brukes for å identifisere ulike varianter av mentorstøtte i veiledningssamtaler. Innenfor hovedtypen «faglig-profesjonell mentorstøtte» utdypes distinksjonen videre når det skilles analytisk mellom mentor-bidrag som vektlegger spisset drøfting av skolefag (faglig) og mentor-innspill av pedagogisk eller mer generell didaktisk karakter (profesjonell). Dermed bidrar studien til å vise hvordan ulike kvaliteter i faglig-profesjonell lærerveiledning kan gjenkjennes i praksis. Funnene viser hvor avgjørende det er at mentor har kompetanse i det skolefaget det skal veiledes i, såfremt skoler ønsker å tilby nyutdannede lærere spisset veiledning i skolefag. Funnene har implikasjoner for skolelederes/-eieres tilrettelegging av arbeidsforhold og organiseringen av veiledningsstøtte for nyutdannede lærere.Nøkkelord: nyutdannede (førsteårs)lærere, mentor(ing), veiledning, undervisningskompetanse, skolefag, ungdomsskolen, lærerutdanningAbstract Research on teachers’ professional development establishes the first year of teaching as a vulnerable phase for many newly qualified teachers (NQTs). While existing studies shed light on various challenges of NQTs, few studies pay attention to the strains created when NQTs are put in positions of teaching subjects they are not formally qualified for. This study problematizes implications of such work conditions, asking: How do NQTs bring up and discuss issues of teaching school subjects without formal qualifications, and how can mentors support them? Mentoring of NQTs at a lower secondary school in Norway was observed. The NQTs’ perspectives on this matter are displayed by presenting conversation excerpts from mentoring situations. The study demonstrates that while NQTs need both subject specific professional support and psychological-emotional support, the quality of the professional support depends on the mentors’ subject qualifications. Knowledge from the study bears implications for choices relating to the work conditions of NQTs and mentor-mentee matching when school leaders and administrators facilitate mentoring support for NQTs.Keywords: newly qualified teachers (NQTs), mentoring quality, teaching competence, school subjects, teacher education

Relevance of the research topic. Today education as a form of training organization, systematic knowledge and information transfer to the next generations faces radical changes all around the world. Changes in current education system have lots of facets and their nature is reflected in different forms: learning process` sophistication, institutional forms` and organizational structure`s expansion, diversification of its financial mechanism. Ukraine is not an exception, since amid decentralization of its administrative and territorial system and the whole of society, it is important to provide these important processes with qualified personnel capable of effective implementation of the reform tasks, as well as to create conditions for economic sustainable development [1]. Implementation of strategic tasks for reforming the education system, which will increase its quality and competitiveness, the possibility of integration into the European and world educational space, determine the need to optimize the system of preparation and retraining of pedagogical personnel for vocational education. Formulation of the problem. The system of training of professional education faculty is more complex than the system of training of educators for educational institutions, which is due to a special place of vocational education in society - it belongs to economic, social and cultural spheres. Successful training and advanced training of teachers of professional (vocational-technical) education is a prerequisite for the effective functioning of vocational education in the country, since this is the basis for economic prosperity and social welfare of youth in terms of trouble-free transition from training to work. Therefore, improving the professional training and advanced training of professional education teachers means improving the training system of qualified personnel in the country. Therefore, there is a need to improve the training system of professional education teachers. Analysis of the last researches and publications. Significant contribution to the consideration of human capital development problems were made by Boginya D.P., Vovkanych S.I., Heets V.M., Holubets M.A., Hrishneva O.A., Dolishnii M.I., Zlupka S.M., Kanigina Y.M., Kolot A.M., Kuzmin A.E., Mocherniy S.V., Fedulova L.I., Khmil F.I. [2-5] and others. Selection of unexplored parts of the general problem. The issue of reform process and power decentralization management to ensure national sustainable development is intrinsically linked to the educational reform process, so reforms` effective mechanisms study requires particular attention and in-depth theoretical and practical research. Therefore, there is a need to study the mechanisms of education funding in general and vocational training in particular in the process of decentralization and reform of the country`s administrative and territorial structure. Problem statement, research goals. The above circumstances are due to the expediency of modeling the coherence of the interests of the parties in the process of advanced training of professional education faculty. Method and methodology of research. In the process of conducting research, general scientific (analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, analytical grouping) and special (abstraction, modeling, etc.) methods of studying economic phenomena and processes were used. Presentation of the main material (results of work). The analysis of the dynamics of the number of teachers of vocational education was conducted. It is established that they form a potential market for the provision of qualifications. Three approaches to the content of advanced training are considered. The first approach assumes that the content of professional development is formed by its own organizers. By the second - the content is ordered by those who are planning to improve qualifications. The third - the content is formed by the simultaneous efforts of those who enhances qualifications and those processes. Of the three approaches, the first one is traditional, but it does not take into account the specifics of the professional direction of educational institutions working with those who enhances qualifications. The second one is, on the contrary, takes into account their interests. In our opinion, the greatest efficiency of professional development can be achieved for a third approach, but it provides for the need to ensure the parity of the parties in this cooperation. In addition, taking into account the presence of competition among advanced training providers, an important aspect becomes not only the possibility of reaching an agreement, but also the quality of the service provided. In order to justify the expediency of using the third approach, the game theory used. It is shown that the success of reforms in the system of vocational education can be provided by more active involvement in the process of retraining and improving the qualifications of teachers of higher education institutions. In our opinion, it is expedient to focus on organizing the training of teachers of subjects of the professional-technical cycle, senior masters and masters of production training, since the relevant system of retraining and advanced training of teachers of secondary disciplines is more branched. Conclusions. An analysis of the dynamics of the number of teachers in the system of professional (vocational-technical) education showed the presence of periodicity regarding their number, which practically fully corresponds to the situation regarding the number of those who they teach. The main approaches to improving skills are considered. With the help of the game theory it is proved that the greatest efficiency is possible to achieve if the approach is used when the content of advanced training is formed by the simultaneous efforts of those who enhances qualifications and those processes. It is shown that in such an approach, there is a possibility of taking into account not only formal features on the availability of advanced training, but also the possibility of assessing qualitative parameters of the service provided. This is an additional competitive advantage for providing these services on a competitive advanced training services.

Full textAbstract:
Assessment practice is a crucial component of higher education learning and teaching, however many academic teachers lack formal teaching qualifications and often fall back on teaching and assessing the way they themselves were taught. Furthermore, with increasingly diverse student cohorts, larger classes and increasing components of teaching delivered online, it is unsurprising that students rate assessment as one of the poorest features of their learning experiences. For these reasons, understanding the specific contexts of assessment is important now more than ever. This paper will present the findings of a case study of a cross-institutional initiative aimed at exploring how to improve digital assessment practice by focusing on context, and encouraging and facilitating collegial collaboration. The aim of the case study was to progress a digital assessment project at an Australian higher education provider. Teams of staff from two higher education providers collaborated to develop and implement eight prototype assessments to reform digital assessment practices. The assessments were selected from online undergraduate academic subjects across a range of disciplines. Findings reveal that both staff and students felt that there were benefits to the cross-institutional collaboration. The resulting assessment was perceived as improving student motivation and engagement and more tailored for the online environment than the existing assessment.

Full textAbstract:
The recognition as a scholar upon al-Marbawi, whom significantly contributed in the scholarly literatures that which became reference for Muslims within the Malay Archipelagos is undisputed. In spite of the accolades, al-Marbawi was not spared from criticism; in which his background and qualifications in the discipline of hadith were disputed. The arguement stemmed from al-Marbawi's beginnings in the quest for hadith knowledge which was deemed unclear and further aggravated by the void in the details concerning the credence of his teachers. This article therefore aims to study the development of al-Marbawi's pursuit in acquiring his studies from his childhood to adulthood. To achieve these objectives, qualitative research was employed by way of library research in addition to content analysis methods that were fully used in the process of data collection and analysis. The findings show that there are two phases of study al-Marbawi's study of hadith; the basic phase of study being while he was studying in Malaya under the tutelage of Tuan Husin Kedah while the later stage refers to studies in his adulthood which took place in egypt involving formal studies at the al-Azhar University as well as informally through the books of Sahih Muslim and Jami‘ al-Tirmidhi. In summary, the varying periods of study of al-Marbawi proves that he was an authoritative scholar in the discipline of hadith.

Full textAbstract:
Part One of this series of articles outlines the current educational situation in the Third World context of Kwazulu/Natal. It highlights the problems caused by inadequate school buildings, low school attendance, lack of adequately trained teachers and, not surprisingly, the consequent general low school achievement of pupils. To compound these already debilitating factors, pupils learn in their second language (English) and the curriculum is Western oriented. However, the writers argue that even if the material conditions were improved, the teachers' qualifications upgraded and the curriculum made more relevant, there are other factors concerning the pupils themselves which inhibit their learning. Part two analyses some of the causes of underachievement. Certain types of social environment are not conducive to cognitive development to an extent sufficient for the learner to derive optimal benefit from schooling. (Vygotsky, 1978, Brushlinsky 1979, Feuerstein, 1979). These social conditions which include poverty, disrupted family life and fragmented cultural heritage are common causes of under-achievement. A direct and primary cause of pupils' under-achievement (which is distinct from hereditary or organic factors) derives from a lack of relevant and appropriate mediated learning experiences which are necessary for school-based learning. Mediation refers to the intentional selection and interpretation of the child's experiences by an adult who helps the child to build the cognitive “scaffolding” and gradually enables him/her to make sense of the world and to gain mastery and independence in learning. The child builds on mastered concepts, the higher concepts extending and transforming the lower. It is not a question of whether the child receives mediation or not because obviously in any home environment mediation is taking place between adult and child, but whether the child receives the kind of mediation which provides the cognitive scaffolding necessary for certain kinds of learning, in this instance, formal school learning.

The article explores the features of the introduction of digital tools into the educational process, using a competency-based approach to the training of future specialists. The article analyzes the process of forming digital competences in the educational environment according to domestic and foreign regulations. Based on the study, a shift in emphasis to requirements of the modern worker from the formal factors of his/her qualifications and education to the social value of his/her personal qualities, the ability to self-development of personality has been found. The article deals with issues related to the digitalization of educational processes and a number of problems in the development of digitalization in education, namely: funding, obsolete technologies, the reluctance of applicants and teachers to study online. The authors compared the level of implementation of digital technologies in educational institutions based on such world educational rankings as Times Higher Education Ranking (2019), QS Rankings (2019), Best Global Universities Ranking (2018). The article summarizes and presents the components of digital competences and features of their formation in distance learning. The authors also considered a combination of soft and hard skills in the teaching and learning process to provide a competent approach based on the digital component. Digital competence should focus on cognitive, social and emotional factors of work and life in a digital environment. The authors have developed a model for interaction with the main elements of digital competence development. The results of the author’s study revealed digital tools, innovative methods and technologies, as well as the impact of digital trends on the educational process. The authors concluded that the introduction of digital tools in the educational process affects the content of learning, the formation of competence of future specialists and changes the role of the teacher as a facilitator of the process.

Studier i den folkeoplysende virksomhed for unge i Danmark 1900 -1925 [The Youthful Years: Studies in the ‘Folk’- Education of the Young in Denmark 1900 - 1925] (Alinea, Copenhagen, 2000), 281 pp.In January 2000 there was considerable media discussion and an unusually vociferous gathering at Danmarks Padagogiske Universitet [The Danish University of Education] over university lecturer Soren Ehlers’ public defence of his thesis, where Ehlers convincingly demonstrates that the influence of Grundtvig and the Grundtvig legacy upon the education of Danish youth has been overrated seen in relation to the influence of relevant initiatives and trends at home and abroad. The book also offers an introduction to new approaches in educational research.This article critically addresses some major points arising from the study. In general, Ehlers’ readable presentation of an impressive quantity of comprehensive material and data deserves praise: firstly, as a solid introduction to and outline of a complicated educational debate and secondly, as a much needed platform for further investigations in the matter of upbringing, educating and morally influencing young people.Regrettably, the author’s approach is by the uncritical introduction of ill-fitting theory (I) from UNESCO’s concepts and categorisations (formal/non-formal/informal) of educational patterns; (II) from relatively recent Danish ethnological-anthropological theory about three dominant life-forms, namely (a) the self-employed - such as farmers, shop-keepers and minor craftsmen; (b) the wage-earning - such as industrial workers, unskilled workers and lower functionaries; and (c) the vocational – such as teachers, clergy, businessmen; and (III) from relatively recent Danish political science which divides society into four chief sectors, namely (a) the public - covering state, municipal and political organisations; (b) the private - profit-dominated businesses, factories and co-operatives; (c) the voluntary - non-profit-making organisations such as local sports associations, charities and Christian associations; and (d) the family and other social and local networks.All theories, I-III, are used in a pell-mell manner, with a stiff logic unconstrained by proper qualifications; and thus they weaken rather than illumine the study. What is worse: although, as Ehlers rightly argues, there is indeed need of a higher level of theoretically based research in the humanities and religious studies, it is to be feared that this book will rather scare researchers away than convince them to cultivate that theoretically-based approach.

This study aimed at investigating the problems of Arabic teachers’ professional competence in improving the quality of the graduates at MA Al-Musdariyah 2 Cimahi. Phenomenology, scientific approach, and a formal juridical approach were used as the method in this study. This study belonged to a case study. The result of this study showed that the main problems related to the teacher’s professional competence in teaching and learning Arabic were an unsuitable academic qualification, the lack of teachers’ welfare, teachers’ discipline and awareness, tutoring, and training. The implication of this study indicated that teachers’ professional competence to improve the quality of the graduates had been implemented. However, the implementation of teachers’ professional competence was considered less than optimal. It influenced the quality of the graduates. In other words, the objectives of teaching and learning activities were not achieved. Therefore, in this case, teachers as the most important factor in teaching and learning processes should improve their competences as a manifestation to improve the quality of the graduates.

Full textAbstract:
This study investigates teachers’ first language (L1, German) and second language (L2, English) use in the primary English as a foreign language (EFL) classroom in two federal German states. It particularly focuses on the question of whether a more frequent, (self-reported) use of the L2 is positively correlated to teachers’ professional qualification as well as (self-assessed) L2 proficiency. To this end, data was collected in 2017 through an online survey among German primary teachers teaching EFL in year 4 (N = 844). L2 use was assessed through a 4-point Likert scale comprising 16 items on various classroom situations. L1 use was surveyed with an open question on situations of L1 use in the L2 classroom. Moreover, teachers self-assessed their L2 proficiency with a 4-point Likert scale and adapted CEFR descriptors for speaking. Findings indicate that teachers claim to use the L2 more in L2-related situations and the L1 more in classroom management situations. The study shows that teachers with a higher formal qualification tend to assess their L2 proficiency higher and claim to use the L2 more often in the primary EFL classroom. In contrast, teachers with a lower formal qualification tend to assess their L2 proficiency lower and claim to use the L1 more frequently in the L2 classroom.

The paper is dedicated to the problem of out-of-school education teachers’ professional development in the conditions of growing requirements to such education quality. The authors of the article note that the professional development of teaching employees of out-of-school education institutions requires a review of existing tools and the search for new approaches. In the current conditions, advanced training courses for the teachers of out-of-school education institutions remain to be the prevailing form, but along with the development of e-education, increase of the freedom of a teacher to choose the forms, methods, terms of professional growth, they need a certain "reset". In a situation of quarantine restrictions, the qualification advancement courses are carried out in a remote format, but it has a number of pitfalls which impact the training effectiveness. Mastering the methods of reflection of one’s own activity by teachers allows to reduce this influence and to increase the quality of professional refresher training. The authors of the article focused their view on the introduction of blended learning during the qualification advancement courses, as such that should provide positive dynamics in the professional development of the teachers of out-of-school education institutions. Researchers see as its most effective models: the "flipped classroom", the self-blend model and the model of enriched virtual learning. They point to a number of advantages of these models compared to traditional learning, which include: flexibility, variability in the organization of the educational process and forms of presentation of educational material, as well as their impact on increasing the motivation of students to learn. The issues of increasing the requirements for the teacher's activity, which should offer optimal and rational methodological techniques and technological solutions for constructive interaction with students not only for the convenience of monitoring their learning, but also so that they can feel constant support, are considered separately. The authors of the article came to the conclusion that in each case the optimally selected model of the blended learning is the one that contains potential opportunities for professional development of the heads of out-of-school education clubs. The article provides statistics data for its confirmation.

Transformational trends of the modern social and political-economic space determine the modernization of the educational sphere, in particular, the system and methods of teaching highly skilled foreign language teachers. Deficiencies in existing technologies for development professional skills, the lack of innovative, modernized techniques for training competitive teachers, as well as the need to improve the quality of teaching staff in some European countries require adjustment of methodological support for training of narrow-focused teachers; forasmuch as professional development and the competence level of teachers directly affect the formation of socially-oriented, multifunctional educational systems in different countries of the world and determines the relevance of the issues proposed for the investigation. The purpose of writing an academic paper is to analyze modern methods of organizing the educational process of foreign language teachers and determining the basic factors that have a decisive influence on the level of pedagogical competence. The following research methods have been used during the writing of the research article, namely: comparison, system-structural research, statistical-analytical, tabular, graphical methods, analytical modeling, as well as methods of abstraction, analysis and generalization. As a result of generalization of modern teaching methods in European countries, it has been determined that general education practice involves the use of formal, non-formal and informal methods of training foreign language teachers. The non-formal and informal methods are the most effective of them, forasmuch as they are connected with the high level of the educational process’s coherence, professional activities and the practical aspect of applying the acquired knowledge. The practice of using non-formal technologies to improve pedagogical competence and qualification of foreign language teachers has become widely used in most European countries. A thorough analysis of non-formal education in Europe has determined that the most accessible is a multi-sensory approach to training that takes into account various aspects of language education and does not require significant financial support.

The research method used is the qualitative method by using triangulation of subject, time, and place. The result of this research show that Bunayya Islamic preschooler make an initiative to create their own learning concepts without technical guidance such as inclusive curriculum development and lesson plans. Bunayya Islamic preschooler runs the learning program by planning, implementing and evaluating the needs of learning resources of children with special needs. The conclusion of this study are the teacher performs several steps such as the identification of special needs children, pre-qualification priorities and the development of the learning curriculum to adopted the learning interpretation and alternative program for preschoolers and parent’s concepts

In this study, we investigate the distribution of qualified special educators across elementary neighborhood schools and exclusionary public and private special education schools. Using the 2011–2012 Schools and Staffing Survey, we provide a descriptive analysis of measurable teacher qualifications (e.g., years of experience, preparation type, degree, formal preparation, certification) across the three settings of interest. Findings indicate that each type of school relies heavily on special educators who lack qualifications in special education. Furthermore, special educators in neighborhood schools were statistically significantly more qualified in terms of experience, degrees, and special education certification than special educators in public and private exclusionary special education schools. These findings have important implications for policy makers, school leaders, and researchers.

Aims To survey Scotland's NHS consultants regarding their teaching roles; educational qualifications/training; attitudes to educational qualifications; perceptions of health boards’ attitudes to educational activities; usefulness of various educational courses and preferred delivery methods Methods Postal questionnaire (n=3615) Results Sixty two percent response rate (n=2246). 98% had one or more roles in education/training. 54% spent more time in educational roles than job-plan allocations. 6% had educational qualifications. 30% rated educational qualifications valuable to their educational role; 21% to their career. 48% had not attended any educational training. 19% of respondents rated their health board as supportive of their educational activities. Respondents rated dealing with underperforming students (74%), dealing with challenging behaviour (63%), appraising students (63%), trainee assessment (61%) and feedback (58%) as the most useful topics Conclusions Scottish consultant involvement in educational activities is virtually universal but consultants perceive they need more time than allocated in job plans. Most consultants had no teaching qualifications. Nearly half had no formal training for educational activities. Educational qualifications were valued by a minority regarding both career development and educational activities. Increased access to staff development for teaching is required as NHS sources are not meeting the need for teacher training of consultant staff.

After the implementation of the 2013 national curriculum which excludes English from the primary school, many primary schools in Indonesia keep offering English to the students despite the uncertainty of the status of English for the primary school. However, the state of the practice of English currently in primary schools is barely unknown. This study is an attempt to portray the teachers that strive to teach English in the primary schools in one of the regencies that are still implementing English education. This survey study involved 44 randomly selected Primary English teachers (PETs) in the regency. The research instrument was a set of online (google format) and offline questionnaires. Results show that the majority of the teachers have English teaching qualification, however only very few ever attended pre-service or in-service training for teachers of young learners. The teachers also deal with employment uncertainty as primary English has no formal legal government policy. The findings bring about the issue of gaps and opportunities for professional developments of PETs and inequality in professional supports for PETs.

Tidak diketahui kondisi pembelajaran bahasa Inggris di SD saat ini. Penelitian ini berusaha untuk menggambarkan guru-guru bahasa Inggris yang berjuang untuk tetap mengajarkannya di salah satu kabupaten di Indonesia yang tetap mengizinkan pembelajaran bahasa Inggris di SD. Penelitian survei ini melibatkan 44 guru bahasa Inggris SD yang dipilih secara acak dan instrumen yang digunakan adalah seperangkat kuesioner daring (googleform) dan luring (cetak). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa mayoritas guru memiliki latar beakang pendidikan bahasa Inggris, namun hanya sedikit sekali yang pernah mengikuti pelatihan pengajaran bahasa Inggris bagi anak-anak. Guru-guru tersebut juga menghadapi ketidakjelasan status kepegawaian yang disebabkan tidak adanya aturan pemerintah yang jelas tentang bahasa Inggris di SD.

The research aims to identify the performance of teachers, graduates of Al-Quds Open University, and the performance of teachers who are graduates of formal education, according to the standards in Palestinian Commission for Developing the Teaching Profession in the fields of "knowledge and understanding", "professional skills" and "professional trends and values." The researcher used the descriptive and analytical method for its suitability for the objectives of the research. A questionnaire was distributed to the sample of (268) distributed among (182) school principals and (86) educational supervisors. The study found that there are statistically significant differences at (α≤0.05) between the point of view of the educational supervisor and the school principal in favor of the school principal in terms of the availability of professional standards for the teacher and for all these skills. The study also found that teachers who graduated from regular universities possess more knowledge, understanding and professional skills than al-Quds Open University graduates do, while the standards related to professional trends and values were difficult to differentiate between them. The study recommended the need on creating a compulsory educational qualification program in regular and open universities for everyone who wants to work in the teaching profession and to coordinate between universities and the Palestinian Commission for Developing the Teaching Profession on the skills that should be trained and focus on them in university courses related to the teaching profession.

Introduction. One of the most urgent issues in the pedagogic theory andpractice is their correlation with the challenges to modern society. The rapid development of technology and dramatic changes in the socio-cultural sphere call for the search for new ways to improve the present-day higher education. The purpose of the article is to generalize the tendencies in the development of higher education and to substantiate on this basis the need in teachers’ leadership in present-day teachers. Result. The tendencies in higher education development have been analyzed and generalized in according with the following socio-cultural determinants: globalization, computerizing, the VUCA-environment, the «clip-thinking» effects, the cognizant society, segregation, ecology problems, the development of the civil society, the demographic ageing of the population, the leisure civilization, etc. Considering the mentioned tendencies, it has been determined that purposeful development of teachers’ leadership in pedagogues should be among the important ways to raise the quality of present-day education. A teacher-leader is a conduit for changes in his/her higher education institution and accepts the responsibility for the wide-scaled introduction of pedagogic innovations, development of new programs, and other sectors of work, thus making an impact on the activity of the whole education institution as such. In Ukraine, hardly any attention is paid to the development of teachers’ leadership in neither higher education institutions’ programs, nor in qualification improvement programs, or in the formal or informal education systems. The authors think it necessary to introduce changes to the content of the pedagogic education in Ukraine and to purposefully develop teachers’ leadership in students and teachers. Conclusion. There have been generalized the tendencies in the development of higher education in accordance with the socio-cultural transformations of the present-day society, and on this basis there were determined the urgency and practical need in teachers’ leadership development in students and teachers within the present-day system of higher education of Ukraine.

Under the Concept «New Ukrainian School» implementation, the educational community received creative modernization challenges, in which the social and professional mission of the teacher changes in the context of European professionalism, while preserving the best mental Ukrainian characteristics. In the system of the New Ukrainian school, the professional development of a teacher implies his self-development and self-realization throughout his life as actual socio-cultural priorities and meanings. Such a social order highlights the need for training specialists who meet the challenges of a society of knowledge capable of continuous intellectual, cultural and spiritual development throughout their lives through formal and non-formal education, focused on preserving, multiplying and transferring humanistic social values, assimilation of new professional roles and functions. The article continues the cycle of publications by the author devoted to the development of theoretical and methodical principles for the acmeprofessionogenesis of the teacher of the New Ukrainian School in the system of continuous education. The explication of the basic concepts of acmeprofessionogenesis of the teacher, the «knowledge society», «continuous professional development», «acmeprofessional», «formal education», «informal education», «informational education» is carried out. Pedagogical acromeprofessionogenesis is defined as continuous prolonged process of professional development of a teacher in the conditions of formal, informal and informal education, comprehensive formation of personality and professional, including the successive periods of its self-realization and self-examination, changes and transformations of the psychological structure of professional activity, motivational sphere, values-ideological landmarks, development of key competencies, assimilation and implementation of innovative professional roles and functions. The basis of acmeprofessionogenesis of the teacher of the New Ukrainian school is the transformation of four aspects into their integrity and interdependence: biological, mental, spiritual and professional. The acmeprofessionogenesis of the teacher is traced through his continuous self-development and self-actualization as actual socio-cultural priorities and meanings. One of the key competencies is life-long learning through formal, informal and informal education. Alternative models, forms of improvement of qualification of the teacher of the New Ukrainian school are considered.

(1) Background: Schools report a high number of schoolchildren with poor attention and hyperactive behavior, with 5% being diagnosed with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). This causes specific problems during homework and classroom times, and the extension of all-day schooling in German primary schools makes this a challenge for support staff working in the after-school programs. Such staff have a very wide variety of qualifications, ranging from no formal teacher training to full teaching qualifications. (2) Methods: This study documents the knowledge of 196 support staff working in all-day primary schools about ADHD, and their subjective view of whether they feel competent with regard to homework situations in general and ADHD in particular. (3) Results: Those with an educational background have significantly more knowledge than those without such a background, staff feel less prepared to supervise children with ADHD, and there is a small but significant correlation here with knowledge about ADHD. (4) Conclusions: The importance of trained pedagogical staff in the supervision of children with concentration problems is emphasized.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose Problem solving is a skill in mathematics which although always relevant has heightened priority due to the changes in the new mathematics GCSE (Department for Education, 2013). It has previously been a skill which is deemed underdeveloped within mathematics and therefore is a theme which teachers are seeking to improve and nurture in order to align with the new changes. The GCSE is the formal qualification that students take at the end of Key Stage 4 (KS4) in the UK. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach The focus of the enquiry was to explore, using lesson studies, the differences in students’ approaches to problem solving. Consequently, key themes relating to the mediation of gender, ability, and academic motivation surfaced. Considering these themes, the paper subsequently reflects upon pedagogical practices which might effectively develop students’ ability to problem solve. The study took part in a mixed gender comprehensive secondary school with students taking part in the observation lesson ranging in age from 11 to 12 years old. The authors are the teachers who took part in the lesson study. The teachers implemented observation techniques in the form of video and peer observation with the accompanying teacher. In addition, students provided feedback on how they approached the problem-solving tasks through a form of semi-structured interviews, conducted via the use of video diaries where no teachers were present to prevent power bias. Following this, a thematic analysis of both the observations and student video diaries generated conclusions regarding how said key themes shaped the students’ approaches to problem solving. Findings Students’ frustration and competitive need to find a specific answer inhibited their ability to thoroughly explore the problem posed thus overseeing vital aspects needed to solve the problem set. Many students expressed a passion for problem solving due to its freedom and un-rigid nature, which is something teachers should nurture. Originality/value Generally, teachers are led by a culture in which attainment is the key. However, an atmosphere should be developed where the answer is not the key and students can explore the vibrant diversity mathematics and problem solving can offer.

This article attempts to unravel the failure of Arabic learning in formal education institutions and tries to offer alternative solutions. The failure of formal education institutions in learning Arabic is mostly due to the lack of clarity in the vision of the policy makers on the position and significance of Arabic materials. This is reflected in the policy regarding the frequency of face-to-face learning, qualificat-ions of teaching staff, preparation of textbooks, and the position of Arabic language materials which are still not included in the category of national examination materials. The success of Assunniyyah Islamic Boarding School in Kencong Jember in learning Arabic is because they are able to present bī’ah ‘Arabīyah (Arabic milieu) in the pesantren, even though they use ta’zīr as one of their approaches. Formal education institutions are less successful, or even fail in learning Arabic because they fail to present bī’ah ‘Arabīyah in their neighborhood. There are many points that need to be addressed in the context of designing Arabic learning in the formal education environment, both related to the creation of the environment, teacher qualifications and standardization of textbooks as learning resources, or related to the position of Arabic as material that adequately deter-mines student graduation.

Full textAbstract:
Education and Culture documents (2004) point out that assessment of school activity quali-ty is a mandatory precondition striving for implementation of the Lisbon strategy. EU and national documents (Lithuanian State Long-Term Development Strategy, 2002; State Education Strategy, 2003; Programme of Government of the Republic of Lithuania, 2004; Education Monitoring Pro-cedure 2005;) are implemented in Lithuania on a par with other countries that carry out European education reform; new models for quality management of education as a service are introduced as well as emerging modern culture of self-evaluation and evaluation of activity. The main focus of the methodologies (Internal Audit Methodology for Comprehensive Schools, 2004; External Au-dit of School Management and Educational Proceeding Improvement, 2005; Description of Proce-dure for Internal Quality Audit of Comprehensive School Activity, 2007; Description of Procedure for Internal Quality Assessment of Comprehensive School Activity, 2009) under implementation is laid not on the analysis of documents regulating the activity of the organisation and on imposing punishments but on the quality assessment when the process is observed directly, when there occurs communication with teachers, school learners, school administration, other school staff members, stakeholders and when the outcome is evaluated. External assessment of school activity is carried out in Lithuania through implementation of modern organisational–structural elements. One of the most essential features constructing an ex-ternal school activity assessment system is its constant renewal, which is based on reflection and application of applied research data. External evaluator of school activity is a factor, which deter-mines not only data collection and their interpretation but also improvement of teacher’s activity and change in school culture. Therefore, preparation of external evaluators and their acquired competences call for a particular attention. This article presents the conception of external evaluators’ competences, analyses the opin-ion of Lithuanian teachers regarding competences of evaluators, who carry out activity assessment in Lithuanian general education schools. The roles of external evaluators are described and profes-sionalism of external evaluators is analysed. The article also reveals teachers’ opinions about com-petences of external quality assessment evaluators, which were surveyed applying quality research methods (focus group). Teachers perceive external activity quality assessment conducted in Lithuanian general ed-ucation schools as a very intensive process, where professional evaluators act as an organised team. The whole process is understood as prophylaxis or examination, when a reliable diagnosing of school activity spheres is carried out. The teachers’ survey regarding their opinion about the external assessment of activity quali-ty conducted in their school revealed that the respondents were satisfied with external assessment, which was based on identification of the good sides and strengthening of the good practice. Being rather critical and self–critical, teachers have formed an increased expectation to more intensively feel rhetoric of external evaluators regarding organisation of education process. The respondents long for independent and unbiased expanded comments from evaluators, which would point to the strong spheres of teacher’s educational activity, would disseminate this information in the school community and national education system. External evaluators of general education schools have to meet certain requirements that are defined through qualification requirements and competences that are necessary for an evaluator who aims to improve the school. Formal qualification requirements (higher pedagogical education, experience in pedagogical work, awareness of documents regulating education activity) are satis-fied but problems are faced when principles, values, self–perception and positive attitude to the environment of an evaluator of school activity quality are analysed. Considerate, attentive and discrete evaluators increase the degree of positive while observing, recording and analysing teach-ing/learning processes. The majority of teachers appreciate unbiased and expert evaluation, which is perceived as assessment and enhancement of own activity or that of school as well as encouragement to direct their activity towards renewal. Key words: external evaluator, professionalism, activity quality assessment.
