▼ New Zealand-trained teachers have good reasons to teach abroad, change careers or retire and there are sound reasons to hire overseas-trained teachers (OTTs) to fill vacancies. Securing work in a new country can be difficult and it makes social and economic sense to facilitate this process. This thesis reports on the journeys of six OTTs documenting the individual pathways navigated; from
teaching in their country of origin to securing a permanent placement as a secondary school teacher in New Zealand.
This study explores the pathways OTTs navigated in order to teach in New Zealand. It investigates the challenges they faced, the supports they encountered and the suggestions they had to offer others in a similar situation. The participants were OTTs at secondary schools in the Wellington region of New Zealand and most had emigrated from the United Kingdom. Participants taught different subjects and had varying lengths of
teaching experience. They had immigrated to and successfully found a post in New Zealand between January 2006 and January 2012.
The interpretive paradigm was used as the theoretical grounding for this research as this places importance on the subjective experiences of those interviewed. Qualitative data were collected using semi-structured interviews as part of a collective, case study design. A thematic approach to data analysis was used and the data were compared and contrasted under the themes of challenges, supports and suggestions.
Findings that concurred with previous research were that OTTs faced challenges from bureaucracy, culture shock and financial stress; and that networking, professional development, luck and maintaining a positive attitude were supportive. Participants suggested preparation, networking, interagency co-operation, a positive attitude and relief
teaching could assist other OTTs. The findings were used to formulate a suggested pathway that might facilitate the journeys of future OTTs.

▼ This study explored the factors that contribute to
mid-
career teacher attrition. A secondary focus was to explore how
recent policy initiatives have impacted mid-
career teacher
attrition. Preexisting literature focuses on the attrition of
beginning teachers, largely ignoring the problem of experienced
teachers leaving the field. This study advances our understanding
of the attrition problem and addresses the identified gap in the
literature. A multiple case study design, wherein, seven former
teachers who recently left
teaching during the mid-
career stage
were interviewed. Additionally, two administrators served as
supporting participants. Data were collected through in-depth
interviews, document analysis, and field notes. Four themes emerged
from the in-depth analysis of data: (a) psychological contract
violations due to policy implementation, (b)
leadership/administrative support, (c) lack of work-life balance,
(d) feeling disrespect and devalued. These findings, their
implications, and suggestions for future research are
discussed.

▼ Elementary teachers in Barre, Vermont must help their students achieve Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts (CCSSELA) to bolster student performance on statewide assessments used to determine adequate yearly progress (AYP). AYP is a measure used to secure each school's federal and state assistance. Vermont adopted the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) in June of 2013 and Vermont teachers now must also direct their science instruction toward helping students achieve NGSS. To assist teachers with addressing both the CCSSELA and NGSS simultaneously, an 11-week Science and Literacy: A Natural Fit professional development (PD) course was conducted with 14 kindergarten through sixth-grade teachers of science in the Barre Supervisory Union. This PD course was designed to help teachers weave student talk and notebook writing strategies into science instruction to bolster students' conceptual reasoning about the natural phenomena they experience through science inquiry. This research study investigated whether or not this PD course led to changes in teachers' knowledge base and classroom implementation for
teaching science using best practices that incorporate student dialogue and writing to bolster conceptual reasoning during science inquiry. Changes in teachers' self-efficacy for
teaching science (sense of the effect their science
teaching has on their students) were also measured at the start and finish of the course. Study participants completed a pre-course and post-course knowledge survey. Also, the Science
Teaching Efficacy Belief Instrument (STEBI-B) was administered at the start and finish of the course to measure self-efficacy. Study participants were observed instructing science early and late in the course, and then the Reformed
Teaching Observation Protocol was employed for analysis of the observation sessions. In addition, participant interviews and journals provided direct quotations about the changes that occurred for teachers throughout the course. The body of evidence gathered indicates that the Science and Literacy: A Natural Fit course taught in fall 2013 helped participating teachers increase significantly their knowledge and improve their classroom implementation for
teaching science inquiry using student talk and notebook writing. Participants' self-efficacy for
teaching science also improved through the course.

▼ This research discusses the Valorization Program by Merit implemented by the State Education Board of São Paulo in 2009. The purpose is to analyze, in the context of educational policies implemented in the Education System of São Paulo, possible consequences of its introduction in the teaching career and in the dynamics of the school work, by the point of view of coordinating teachers. It explores how the notion of meritocracy in the current education policies has been materializing. In order to do so, it explains the purposes and delineation of the Program, relating them to the directives of the educational public policies of the Estate of Sao Paulo, and it analyses the opinions of coordinating teachers about the Merit Program and its possible effects in the school work dynamics. This exploratory research has utilized procedures based upon a qualitative approach, resorting to the analysis of document sources and testimonials gathered by a semi-structured questionnaire, with open and closed questions. National and International authors that have studied the evaluation theme and the teaching career subsidized the results discussion. The results demonstrate the tendency to accept the notion of fairness of the Valorization Program by Merit. The discrepancy with the Program usually refers to the adopted criteria, which reveals the acceptance of the idea of teachers accountability by their choices, trajectories and by the results reached in their lives, which make us believe that success and failure are attached to the talent and abilities of each individual. The Program, while adopting the meritocracy principle, has potential to induce discriminatory practices where only the best and the most capable must be awarded by their individual efforts. As outlined, awarding only 20% of teachers induces the division of the the most well prepared group and the not well prepared group, in addition to promoting competition and encouraging the enhancement of individualized education. Therefore, it trails in the opposite direction of a collaborative culture, which encourages values such as sharing between members of the school

Teaching-only academics in a research intensive university : from an undesirable to a desirable academic identity.

▼ Teaching-only academics now constitute a significant proportion of the academic staff in UK higher education. This thesis is a three-part study in which I sought to contribute to a more indepth understanding of the teaching-only academic role. I did this through an investigation of the career trajectories, perceptions, work-related experiences and academic identity constructions of teaching-only academics working in a research-intensive institution in the UK. In the first part of the study I carried out a systematic review of the literature on teaching-only academics in the UK, Australia and Canada. In the second part of the study I investigated the virtual identity of teaching-only academics at the UK research-intensive institution. I did this by undertaking an analysis of how these teaching-only academics self-represented and projected themselves on their institutional webpages. In the third part of the study I carried out a life-history analysis of senior teaching-only academics in the engineering faculty of the case study institution. A principal finding from this thesis, which is collaborated across all the three parts of the study, is that the teaching-only academic role is a non-homogeneous role comprising individuals who come from different backgrounds, have followed different career trajectories into the role, and have different academic identities. Findings from this thesis also suggest that whilst teaching-only academics were introduced as an institutional response to the demands of the RAE/REF, the very act of creating the role has further exacerbated the separation between research and teaching, and between undergraduate and postgraduate teaching. Specifically, undergraduate teaching within the case study engineering department now tends to be the responsibility of teaching-only academics, with research-and-teaching academics increasingly focussing on research and postgraduate teaching. This separation has implications for research-led teaching, particularly in research-intensive institutions. The thesis also reveals that despite the pre-eminence of research, teaching remains important within the university, and individuals on the teaching-only academic role are able to accumulate substantial, and valued, teaching-related academic capital. This capital, in turn, is enabling them to secure and advance their positions within the same institution, and to pursue career advancement through seeking employment in other higher education institutions.

▼ År 2013 kom reformen om karriäruppdrag för lärare, den innefattar både lektorer och förstelärare. Den här studien är riktad mot förstelärare i grundskolans tidiga år. Då karriärtjänsterna berör hela Sveriges lärarkår på ett eller annat sätt är det nödvändigt att förklara utvecklingen som sker kring förstelärarens uppdrag. Studiens syfte är att undersöka hur förstelärare, med tjänst i grundskolans tidiga år, uppfattar att de arbetar med skolans kvalitetsarbete. Studien har genomförts med en kvalitativ ansats och empirin har samlats in genom 11 stycken semistrukturerade intervjuer. Det transkriberade materialet har analyserats med hjälp av fenomenografins sju analyssteg för att finna kategorierna som skapar studiens utfallsrum. Tjänsten som förstelärare har främst sökts på grund av rekommendation från rektor. Förstelärarnas uppfattning är att de saknar tid till att utföra sina uppdrag. Förstelärarna arbetar aktivt efter styrdokument och bedömningar för att ständigt utveckla undervisningen. Samarbete med andra förstelärare inom samma arbetsområde, och kollegialt lärande upplevs som en betydelsefull aspekt till kvalitetssäkringen av undervisningen. Dock saknas i dagsläget samarbete mellan förstelärare inom samma arbetsområde.
In 2013, the reform of a career mission for teachers appeared, which includes both senior lecturer and First-teachers. This study is directed to First- teachers in the earlier stages of primary school. Since these career missions includes all of Sweden, it is necessary to explain the development that takes place around the First-Teachers mission. The purpose of this study is to investigate how First-teachers, in the early stages of primary school, experience that they promote the quality work of their schools. The study is made by a qualitative approach and the empiricism has been collected by 11 semi-structured interviews. The transcribed material has been analysed with the help of the seven analysing steps of the phenomenography, which creates the “outcome room” of the study. The main reason for why teachers have applied for the post First-teacher is due to recommendations from the head teacher. First-teachers are experiencing the lack of time to prefill their missions. First-teachers are actively working with regulatory documents and judgement reports to persistently develop their teaching situation. Collegial teaching is, according to the First-teachers, a necessity to make sure that they quality proof their teaching. However, today there is no interaction between First-teachers in the same interest groups.

▼ This study examined how health professionals who completed a master of bioethics (MBE) degree at mid-
career make sense of their decision to pursue the degree and how its attainment has impacted their sense of well-being in the workplace. Ryan and Deci's Self-Determination Theory (SDT) provided the theoretical framework for this retrospective study. SDT explores how a person's sense of motivation and well-being in the workplace may be impacted by the fulfillment of their psychological needs for autonomy, competence, and relatedness gained through the MBE education. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with five alumnae from a master of bioethics degree program at a medical school in the Northeast. Transcripts were analyzed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis to identify themes. Four main themes emerged: intrinsic and
career motivators, novelty, student experience, and post MBE
career transitions. Drawing upon intrinsic motivation to care for others, this interdisciplinary degree program pushed these mid-
career professionals to resolve professional conflicts, improve their confidence and competence, broaden their perspectives, move beyond their professional boundaries, and enhance their connections to a vibrant ethics community. Findings were interpreted in light of recent studies on motivation, burnout, moral distress, adult learning, and
career transitions. Opportunities for program improvement and support structures for mid-
career students are recommended.

▼ Since its inception, work and career-related issues have been central to the aims and scope of counseling psychology as a discipline. One common career counseling intervention in the University setting is to offer elective, credit-bearing courses in career development and exploration to provide help and direction to college students as they decide on majors and prepare for careers. Much research has been conducted which suggests that the use of career courses in the university setting has strong, positive impact on students' career decision-making ability and other output variables. What is less established is the impact of these career courses on macro-level outcome variables like retention, graduation rate, and academic performance. This ex post facto study examined two samples of undergraduate students from an eight-year span (2000-2007): one that successfully completed the Student Development 117 course at the site university (Career Exploration) during that time (N = 3,546) and a reasonably matched sample of students who did not take the career course to act as the comparison group (N = 3,510). The two groups were compared to determine if students who completed the Career Exploration course differed significantly from non-course participants in terms of graduation rate, time to graduation (in semesters and credits), course withdrawals, and total cumulative GPAs. Results indicated that the Career Exploration course was not a significant predictor of whether or not students graduated in six years, the number of semesters it took students to graduate and the number of withdrawals students incurred. However, the Career Exploration course did significantly predict total number of credits (with course participants graduating with about five more credits than the non-course participants) and cumulative GPA at graduation (with course participants graduating with higher GPAs than the comparison group). Implications for future research and practitioners are discussed.

▼ Enduring misconceptions exist regarding the value of learning history. Many history teachers are engaged in lecture- and recitation-based forms of instruction that seem to be at odds with the goal of helping students to develop skills and dispositions important for democratic citizenship. This study asked whether history teachers’ most ubiquitous core teaching practice, the explanation of historical content, had the potential to support civic ends. The study analyzed transcriptions of 43 classroom observations and interviews of ten U.S. history teachers. Findings pointed to five forms of historical explanation that have the potential to make explanation meaningful for preparing students for democratic citizenship. Findings also revealed factors that influenced teachers to make decisions to explain historical content in particular ways. The study has implications for improving teacher education and professional development with the goal of helping history teachers to make explanation meaningful and contributory toward their students’ preparation for democratic citizenship.

▼ This study explored the experiences of former active duty personnel who transitioned to the civilian workforce as school-teachers after a
career in the military. The qualitative methodology employed was a phenomenological approach. Six former U.S. Army and U.S. Air Force participants, were interviewed using purposive sampling procedures. Data collection included in-depth, face-to-face semi-structured interviews, as well as written responses by the participants using a Preliminary Survey. This study answered four research questions: 1. What factors motivate former military members to enter
teaching?; 2. What support systems currently exist to assist former military members’ transition into
teaching?; 3. What are the life experiences of former military members that may impact the transition to
teaching as a second
career?; and 4. What keeps former military members in the
teaching profession? Data was transcribed and analyzed using the MAXQDA qualitative software and a manual cross cutting theme procedure. The research in this area contribute to the gap in the body of knowledge on the challenges that
career-changers face. This study focuses on the difficulties encountered by military retirees in their first year or two as school teachers.

▼ The purpose of this study was to investigate the status of career guidance service provision
in selected special schools for the hearing impaired learners in Lusaka, Zambia. The
objectives of the study were to establish whether career guidance service were available to
learners with hearing impairment; assess the type of career guidance services available for
learners with hearing impairment; determine how beneficial the current career guidance
services were to learners with hearing impairment; explore challenges, faced by guidance
teachers in the provision of career guidance services to learners with hearing impairment in
special schools. A case study was used to conduct the study. The sample size was 55
respondents. These were broken down as five head teachers, five heads of departments, five
career guidance teachers and 40 learners with hearing impairment in selected special
schools in Lusaka in Zambia. The study findings revealed that special education teachers in
the selected schools of study provided career guidance services to learners with hearing
impairment. Both girls and boys with hearing impairment benefited. Learners with hearing
impairment were seen to own shops and sold goods in town which enabled them to earn a
living. It was also evident from the findings that learners in Grade 12 more than other
grades accessed career guidance services in the selected schools. Guidance teachers faced a
lot of challenges in the provision of career guidance services to learners with hearing
impairment in special schools which included communication difficulties, limited
availability of materials such as teaching and learning aids, limited time allocation for
career guidance, lack of trained guidance and counselling teachers in schools, lack of office
accommodation; limited resources; lack of co-operation or support from other teachers and
school administrators and indeed work over loads among guidance teachers in selected
special schools.
Arising from the study findings, the research has recommends that: the Ministry of General
Education should employ trained full-time guidance and counselling teachers in schools,
provide appropriate and adequate materials for career guidance purpose, put in place a
deliberate policy on guidance and counselling in schools that allow provision of career
guidance to learners with hearing impairment and conduct regular fresher courses or
workshop on sign language in order to improve communication between guidance teachers
and learners with hearing impairment.

▼ As early
career teachers traverse the estranging terrain of education, they are situated at a point of confluence where school biography, individual ideas, university education (including the practicum), and other forms of experiences converge, compete, and confound with conceptions of identity and knowledge (Britzman, 2003). This study sought to gain insight into the ways early
career teachers navigated the polyphony of knowledge and the tensions that arise from ideological friction as they are (re)constructing their identity(ies) and contingent understandings in the becoming of teacher (Britzman, 2003). The purpose of this study was to investigate how early
career teachers grappled with becoming teacher through the entanglement of tensions created when knowledge collides and how this influences their identity(ies) of teacher. This study used a qualitative phenomenological methodology to investigate the lived experiences of six participants who were early
career teachers (defined as zero to five years of experience). Data was collected through semi-structured interviews. Findings illustrated the participants’ indirect engagements with teacher identity(ies) and becoming teacher. Consideration is given to the ways in which space can be made for early
career teachers to delve into their identity formation.

▼ Despite increased disability awareness and the advancement of disability rights laws, the
stigma of disabilities continues to be a problem in our country. Ableism is the outcome of
negative attitudes towards disabilities perpetuating the belief that being able-bodied is preferable
over being disabled (Siebers, 2008). This study examined attitudes towards disabilities in the
world of academe through the stories of disabled faculty. The purpose of this study was to
understand the experiences of faculty members living with a disability in higher education and
how they used the transformative learning stages in their adaptation and growth. Seven faculty
members were interviewed for this study selected from both a four-year public university and a
two-year community college. The study was designed using an adult education framework and
data was analyzed using Mezirow’s transformative learning theory. Critical disability theory and
feminist disability theory were also used to help understand the data. A narrative inquiry
approach was used by completing semi-structured interviews which provided space for the
participants to tell their stories. Each of the participants identified moments of transformative
learning throughout their educational and professional journeys. Their experiences illuminated
the ongoing stigma of disabilities, even within the world of higher education.

▼ Research on professional development for teachers usually focuses on its effects during or immediately after the experience or on teachers satisfaction with professional development in general. Little research focuses on the lasting impressions and influences. This qualitative study used two focus groups to gather the memories of eleven teachers who became trainers in a high quality and voluntary professional development program ten years prior to the study. The program focused on helping teachers infuse technology into their
teaching and develop constructivist pedagogy and used a training of trainers model for widespread dissemination. Teachers responded to four questions about their memories of the experience, how they felt it changed their practice, the challenges and successes of being a trainer, and the impact of their participation on their careers. Focus groups were audio and video recorded, transcribed, and analyzed using constant comparison and coding to identify recurring and powerful themes. Participants revealed that they found the curriculum resources and opportunities for collaboration as the most memorable features of the program. Many also reported that they experienced somewhat fearful feelings at the outset of the program, but that these feelings abated in the ensuing three years of the program. All participants voiced their success as trainers and learned more about technology through taking on that role. Challenges were related to recruiting new teachers into the program and inadequate technological resources in their schools. All found the program an enhancement to their self-confidence, professional growth and
career achievement.'

A presente pesquisa apresenta e analisa os Planos de Carreira Docente e a legislação concernente à carreira docente dos estados de Minas Gerais e Rio de Janeiro entre os anos de 2005 e 2015, no contexto do advento das políticas neoliberais e do desenvolvimento de processo gerencialista, identificando
a relação deste processo com a carreira docente. É parte integrante do Projeto de Pesquisa do CNPq “Mapeamento das estratégias de privatização da educação básica no Brasil (2005-2015)” que visa mapear, caracterizar e analisar possíveis tendências em relação à privatização da Educação Básica no Brasil no mesmo período. Deste modo, o presente estudo busca compreender, à luz dos estudos sobre gerencialismo, em que medida os Planos de Carreiras Docente e as legislações dos estados sofrem neste período. Optamos pela abordagem qualitativa como norteadora metodológica, compondo o corpus de análise a discussão bibliográfica e análise documental.
This research presents and analyzes the Teaching Career Plans and the legislation concerning the teaching career of the states of Minas Gerais and Rio de Janeiro between 2005 and 2015, in the context of the advent of neoliberal policies and the development of a managerial process, identifying the relationship of this process with the teaching
career. It is an integral part of the CNPq Research Project "Mapping Strategies for the Privatization of Basic Education in Brazil (2005-2015)" which aims to map, characterize and analyze possible trends regarding the privatization of Basic Education in Brazil in the same period. Thus, the present study seeks to understand, in the light of the studies on managerialism, to what extent the Teacher Career Plans and state legislations suffer in this period. We chose the qualitative approach as methodological guide, composing the corpus of analysis to bibliographical discussion and documentary analysis.

▼ Research in the field of professional development, though growing, is void of studies exploring the implementation of models of professional development, particularly in districts with high achievement. This inquiry was designed to examine the perception of elementary teachers of their implementation of the Iowa Professional Development Model in a high achieving Iowa school district and to explore operational variability regarding the implementation of the model.
Naturalistic inquiry (Lincoln & Guba, 1985) provided the theoretical framework for this study. Data were collected through multiple sources: an online survey that provided not only demographic data but also self-reported implementation data; district documents, including the comprehensive school improvement plan and the building goal documents; and focus group interviews. In naturalistic inquiry data collection and analysis occur simultaneously. To facilitate analysis, survey data were organized into cross-tabulations; and the text responses to the open-ended survey question were processed via a Concordance© program, entered into data tables, and coded according to emergent themes using the naturalistic approach to the constant comparison method. Focus group interview transcriptions were processed and analyzed using the same approach.
Findings suggest teachers had an abstract, general understanding of the Iowa Professional Development Model, but that they would welcome the opportunity to deepen their understanding. Teachers reported engaging to the greatest extent in the professional development components of collaboration, reflection, and analysis of student achievement; but they reported engaging least in peer observation and coaching. Overwhelmingly, teachers viewed professional development as focused on their learning and identified time as a critical resource. Teachers acknowledged the importance of both building and district leadership to systematize their work in school improvement. Although teachers engaged in the components of professional development, their participation and response varied. Teachers felt the pressure of competing interests and limited time and opportunity to address them.
District leaders should consider communicating and explaining the Iowa Professional Development Model with the intended outcome of a full implementation at both the district-wide and school levels. In addition, leaders should consider periodic audits of time to increase awareness as to how teachers and leaders are spending their time.

▼ The purpose of this study was to examine the levels of
teaching efficacy among postsecondary
career and technical education faculty at Kansas technical and community colleges. Postsecondary
career and technical education faculty at Kansas technical and community colleges were asked to complete an instrument designed to measure their levels of
teaching efficacy based upon a modified version of the Teachers' Sense of Efficacy Scale, originally developed by Woolfolk and Hoy (1998). The entire population of postsecondary
career and technical education faculty from Kansas technical and community colleges (N=726) were surveyed and a total of n=181 (24.9%) completed the instrument. Data gathered through the study was factor analyzed and three types of
teaching efficacy were identified among postsecondary
career and technical education faculty at Kansas technical and community colleges: classroom management, instructional practices, student engagement. Independent sample t-tests indicated that levels of
teaching efficacy in classroom management and student engagement were not significant based upon whether or not the faculty member held a
teaching degree. However, a statistically significant difference was found among those faculty who held a
teaching degree for their level of instructional practices efficacy (t(179) = 2.116, p=.036). Pearson's Product Moment Correlation Coefficient analysis indicated no statistically significant relationship between the variables of years of
teaching service and years of industry experience when compared to the three types of
teaching efficacy (classroom management, instructional practices, and student engagement).

▼ Becoming a teacher in technology-rich classrooms is a complex and challenging transition for career-change entrants. Those with generic or specialist Information and Communication Technology (ICT) expertise bring a mindset about purposeful uses of ICT that enrich student learning and school communities. The transition process from a non-education environment is both enhanced and constrained by shifting the technology context of generic or specialist ICT expertise, developed through a former career as well as general life experience. In developing an understanding of the complexity of classrooms and creating a learner centred way of working, perceptions about learners and learning evolve and shift. Shifts in thinking about how ICT expertise supports learners and enhances learning preceded shifts in perceptions about being a teacher, working with colleagues, and functioning in schools that have varying degrees of intensity and impact on evolving professional identities. Current teacher education and school induction programs are seen to be falling short of meeting the needs of career-change entrants and, as a flow on, the students they nurture. Research (see, for example, Tigchelaar, Brouwer, & Korthagen, 2008; Williams & Forgasz, 2009) highlights the value of generic and specialist expertise career-change teachers bring to the profession and draws attention to the challenges such expertise begets (Anthony & Ord, 2008; Priyadharshini & Robinson-Pant, 2003). As such, the study described in this thesis investigated perceptions of career-change entrants, who have generic (Mishra & Koehler, 2006) or specialist expertise, that is, ICT qualifications and work experience in the use of ICT. The career-change entrants‘ perceptions were sought as they shifted the technology context and transitioned into teaching in technology-rich classrooms. The research involved an interpretive analysis of qualitative data and quantitative data. The study used the explanatory case study (Yin, 1994) methodology enriched through grounded theory processes (Strauss & Corbin, 1998), to develop a theory about professional identity transition from the perceptions of the participants in the study. The study provided insights into the expertise and experiences of career change entrants, particularly in relation to how professional identities that include generic and specialist ICT knowledge and expertise were reconfigured while transitioning into the teaching profession. This thesis presents the Professional Identity Transition Theory that encapsulates perceptions about teaching in technology-rich classrooms amongst a selection of the increasing number of career-change entrants. The theory, grounded in the data, (Strauss & Corbin, 1998) proposes that career-change entrants experience transition phases of varying intensity that impact on professional identity, retention and development as a teacher. These phases are linked to a shift in perceptions rather than time as a teacher. Generic and specialist expertise in the use of ICT is a weight of the past…

▼ The tenacity of the study was to establish why learners with visual impairments in selected secondary schools of Zambia were more braille inclined in Accessing Career Guidance than through Information and Communication Technology (ICT). Objectives that guided the study were to; establish why learners with visual impairments were more braille inclined in Accessing Career Guidance than through ICT. Explore how accessible career guidance through ICT was among learners with visual impairments. Examine factors that might have influenced access to career guidance through ICT among learners with visual impairments. UTAUT theory guided this study. A descriptive case study design was used in analysing, presenting and discussing the findings. The population was all pupils with visual impairments and their teachers in selected schools, while the sample size was fifty-two (52) segmented as fourty (40) pupils, four (4) head teachers, four (4) career guidance teachers and four (4) grade teachers. Purposive sampling was used to select the participants of the study. Interviews and focused Group discussions were the methods of data collection. The study revealed that due to inadequate or non-availability of ICT facilities, learners with visual impairments did not have access to career information through ICT. There was also inadequate ICT trained teachers, facilities and ICT unclear policy which contributed to learners being more braille inclined than ICT. Instead, learners accessed career information through braille and word of mouth only. For these reasons learners with visual impairments did not often participate in ICT related learning activities and examinations consequently, restricted in their career choices. The study therefore, recommended that the Ministry of General Education through schools should supply ICT facilities, train teachers in ICT, formulate a clear policy on ICT for learners with visual impairments and Examination Council of Zambia (ECZ) should introduce practicals in ICT examination for the visually impaired learners.

▼ This study enhances student acceptance of
career investigation and contains extensive lesson plans for each day of the school year, plus one copy of each handout to be duplicated. The classroom is run as a business where students work for the instructor and are paid by check at the end of each week. Money is deposited on account and used to purchase course grades. The more money the student earns, the higher grade he can purchase. The findings show that students learn more about careers. Students became aware that the higher paying
career fields required more schooling and/or training, resulting in changed attitudes about school. They were able to see how the relationship of the learning process could determine their future.

▼ The hospitality industry is one of the most popular industries in Cape Town, where it plays a major role in the economy and offers many employment opportunities. Because of this, one might have thought that learners would be encouraged to pursue a career in the industry. But learners and Life Orientation teachers in black township schools do not know about the hospitality industry: Hospitality Studies is not offered as a subject and learners receive no career guidance about this industry. This study investigates the extent of knowledge among Grade 11 learners and LO teachers in black township high schools about the hospitality industry, with a focus on the extent to which these learners are guided towards pursuing a career in the industry. The study therefore examines the information given to Grade 11 learners about the hospitality industry and the information LO teachers have about the industry to equip them to guide learners. The aim of the study is to highlight the knowledge gap that exists amongst Grade 11 and LO teachers when it comes to the hospitality industry, with the ultimate object of enhancing awareness of the industry so that learners can make meaningful career choices informed by that awareness.

▼ This study has as its objective the situation of the teaching of basic public education systems of states and capitals in different regions of the country, compared to funding policies administered from the year 1990. The focus of the study lies in examining the career and remuneration of these professionals. In the 1990s the movement of teachers deployed around wage demands and working conditions of poor functional status before the class started to gain greater visibility by the expectations of social reforms. In this context, was settling certain consensus around the need to value the teaching of basic public education, the point of setting up as a matter of law that reform. It starts with the central hypothesis that the mechanisms of recovery teacher, fired in the Decade of Education were unable to raise the minimum level to a teaching career and compensation required by teachers, but rather contributed to a greater deterioration of conditions work of teachers. With a view to meeting the proposed objectives was undertaken a historical-documentary consisted of an examination of official documents of governments and unions, focusing on wage policies adopted in the context of current reform. The examination of these documents enabled the mapping of the trajectory of struggles of teachers Brazilian scored achievements that served as reference for the development or modification in the Statute of the Teaching and Career Plans and Compensation of public school systems. The survey data on the composition and configuration of the remuneration of public teaching career Paraiba expressed in career plans of the state and the municipality of João Pessoa was achieved through arrays and wage paychecks and / or annual financial statements of the teachers. The emphasis of the analysis focused on the mechanisms of regulation of access, retention and performance in professional activities. The results show progress during the execution and adjustments in the teaching career plans Paraiba public teaching of basic education. However, the uncertainty of a career that includes teachers with degrees in higher education highlights the fragility of the educational policies of school systems under study, the minor impact to the enhancement of public teaching.
O estudo tem por objetivo analisar a situação do magistério de sistemas públicos de educação básica de estados e capitais de diferentes regiões geográficas do país, frente às políticas de financiamento gestadas a partir dos anos de 1990. O foco do estudo situa-se no exame da carreira e da remuneração dessa categoria profissional. Na década de 1990 o movimento dos docentes desdobrou-se em torno de reivindicações salariais e de condições de trabalho diante da precária situação funcional da categoria, passando a ganhar maior visibilidade social pelas expectativas das reformas. Nesse contexto, foi se conformando certo consenso, em torno da necessidade de valorização do magistério da educação básica pública, a ponto de configurar-se como matéria da legislação da referida reforma.…

▼ Este trabalho tem por objetivo analisar como o professor percebe sua formação inicial, primeira etapa para o desenvolvimento da profissão docente. É um estudo descritivo-interpretativo das representações por eles manifestadas em relação à formação inicial. A fundamentação teórica que embasa a parte empírica da pesquisa referiu-se a representações sociais e percepção de professores, aspectos históricos da formação docente no Brasil, dificuldades, paradigmas da formação inicial, saberes docentes a serem formados e formação para a competência. A investigação envolveu trinta e cinco professores de educação básica que atuam no ensino fundamental (cicloII) e médio em duas escolas estaduais do município de Santo Anastácio, estado de São Paulo. Em duas reuniões de HTPC (horário de trabalho pedagógico coletivo) em cada unidade escolar foi realizada a aplicação de um questionário. A análise dos dados coletados demonstrou que a percepção dos professores indica formação inicial precária pela ênfase dada à teoria e negligência da prática. Os cursos de licenciaturas, responsáveis pela formação docente estão estruturados nos moldes da racionalidade técnica. Concebidos como técnicos, os professores ao final de seus cursos de licenciatura, vêem-se desprovidos de conhecimentos, habilidades e atitudes que levem às ações que dão conta da complexidade do ato pedagógico e dos desafios impostos pela sociedade contemporânea à escola e que é marcada por uma globalização perversa e desumana imposta pelo sistema capitalista neoliberal. O estudo evidencia a necessidade de uma formação inicial que articule, dialeticamente, teoria e prática e que promova atividades que leve à formação do professor investigador da sua própria prática pedagógica, que permita a ele o desenvolvimento de uma consciência crítica sobre o mundo e o resgate do processo de humanização do homem, numa perspectiva de formação continuada, nestes tempos de homogeneização e pasteurização dos discursos.

▼ This mixed method sequential explanatory study examines the perception of
teaching preparedness of Living Skills teachers who graduated from Universiti Teknologi Malaysia.
Teaching competencies related to future teacher preparation, proposed by Darlin-Hammond et al. (2005) served as the conceptual framework. One hundred and six participants who graduated from the year 2010-2013 responded to an online Teacher Preparedness Survey making up about 55% return rate. A follow-up interview was conducted with twelve participation, which include participants who scored on the high end and scored at the lower end of the survey scale. One of the most consistent themes that come through this study− quantitative and qualitative− was diversity. In the quantitative part of this study, the aspect of supporting diverse learners found to have the lowest overall mean score among other aspects of
teaching preparedness. Multivariate analysis detected a significant effect of diversity, teacher characteristics and school placement variables on aspects of
teaching preparedness jointly. Significant differences in participants’ perceptions was found associated with demographic factors were participants’ year of graduation, school location, students’ ethnic diversity and teachers’ ethnic diversity. In addition to the quantitative findings, interview data found several themes that further explained the quantitative results. Thematic analysis identified four themes emerging in relation to aspects for which participants’ felt very well prepared, including a) planning and delivering the Living Skills curriculum, b) managing extra-curricular activities, c) using technology to facilitate tasks outside of the classroom, and d) collaborating with other teachers. While participants felt less prepared to a) deliver lessons to Non-Malay students, b) handle classroom discipline, c) teach with the lack of instructional materials, and d) use School Based Assessment (SBA).

▼ D.Phil.
Since the inception of democracy in 1994 the country’s educational system has radically changed as one reform rapidly succeeded another. The changing curriculum meant an end to the sole emphasis on academic achievement. Instead, the introduction of Life Orientation (LO) meant that schools had to be concerned with the development of the whole person, placing personal and individual needs in a social context to encourage acceptance of diversity and promote the quality of life for all. Whilst the transformation and curriculum changes have brought about a breakthrough in the education system, LO teachers in the Gauteng Province were presented with new challenges as they found themselves faced with multiple moral and emotional problems that learners brought to school and yet they were not professionally prepared for nor were they trained to deal with. Such problems brought about ambiguity and created confusion in their roles, raising personal and professional dilemmas such as their limited knowledge of the curriculum and specific tools and practice skills needed to teach Life Orientation meaningfully. It is in context of the above that I decided to conduct a study focusing on what should be entailed in the personal and professional development (PPD) of LO teachers in the Gauteng province. I also considered how their personal and professional experiences contributed to the meaningful teaching of LO. Furthermore, these experiences would be used to develop an Educational-Psychological Practice Framework for the PPD of LO teachers in the Gauteng Province. LO teachers and provincial coordinators in Gauteng were identified as study participants. A three-phased sequential explanatory mixed methods design was used in this study. Phase one of the study was quantitative in nature and data was collected using a questionnaire distributed to 154 LO teachers in the province. The main aim of this phase was to obtain descriptive data that would be used to enhance the qualitative data in phase two of the study. Of the total distribution, 130 questionnaires were returned and analysed using the SPSS software package. Synopsis vi In phase two of the study a qualitative approach was used with the aim of obtaining LO teachers’ experiences of their personal and professional development. Individual and focus group interviews were held with a total of 18 participants. In addition, two participants took part through creating collages. The study yielded eight themes namely: 1) LO teachers’ life experiences; 2) Attitudes towards LO; 3) LO curriculum delivery; 4) complex roles of LO teachers; 5) essential characteristics of LO teachers; 6) LO teachers’ needs; 7) dealing with challenging social issues; and finally, 8) support circle for LO teachers. In the third phase of the study an educational-psychological practice framework for the personal and professional development of LO teachers in the Gauteng Province was described. Empowerment and support were identified as key aspects of that should be used in the development of LO teachers in…

▼ The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between administrative support and retention of early
career special education teachers. Research has shown that there is a shortage of special education teachers; however, teachers leaving the field may be driving the shortages. Based on the work of Schein’s (2003) theory of organizational culture, this study identified how different types of support (i.e., emotional, instructional, technical, and environmental) can influence early
career special education teachers’ decision to remain in their current position. Participants, including teachers and administrators from a suburban school division in Virginia, completed a modified version of the Administrative Support Survey. A correlational research design was used to answer research questions comparing support perceived by principals to support received by teachers and support perceived by teachers to support provided by administrators.
An analysis of variance (ANOVA), independent samples t-test, and descriptive statistics were conducted. Results revealed that the majority of teachers reported they received support and intended on returning to their position. However, the teachers who reported they were not returning to their position indicated receiving little support from their principals. Further, differences in support were also reported by race, grade level, disability taught, licensing status, and delivery model of instruction. Limitations and implications for practice, policy, and research are reported.

▼ As a result of the shift to the Common Core State Standards (CCSS), the expectations for
teaching and learning have changed significantly. During the time of No Child Left Behind, the state department of education provided grade level standards on which Fairview County Public Schools based their curriculum. The curriculum was circular in nature and focused on exposure to concepts and skills, rather than mastery. The same concepts and skills were introduced throughout many grade levels, which promoted surface level learning. The CCSS, however, are focused on depth of understanding and mastery; the standards build on one another from year to year, and students are expected to use that knowledge to expand and deepen their understanding as the years go on. The expectations for learning at each grade level have also become more rigorous; for example, complex texts and complex mathematical concepts are now introduced in earlier grade levels. In order for students to be successful with the CCSS, teachers must change the way that they plan for instruction as well as the way that they deliver instruction. This Education Leadership Portfolio describes strategies that were designed and implemented at one elementary school in an effort to shift mathematics planning and instructional practices to better align with the CCSS expectations. I engaged in activities to increase my knowledge of mathematics and professional learning so that I could lead the improvement efforts successfully and support teachers in a meaningful way. A variety of professional learning experiences was provided to help teachers increase their content-area knowledge and expand their repertoire of strategies to teach mathematics. The results of these professional development strategies on teacher practices are discussed and recommendations are made to inform future professional learning activities focused on shifting mathematics planning and instructional practices.

▼ This dissertation explored how eight artists who are also faculty in academic institutions and adult professional development programs teach leadership. As such, the purpose of this study was to understand to what extent and how these self-defined artists who also teach leadership in academic and professional development settings draw from and integrate their roles, skills, experiences, learning, and ways of making meaning as artists to facilitate leadership learning among adults. By doing so, this research sought to move beyond existing technical and conceptual knowledge of arts-based methods in leadership teaching to learning more about specific artists who have inspired or used such methods.
Using the method of portraiture embedded in a qualitative exploratory interview study with narrative inquiry, this study reveals an aesthetic approach to research and presents narratives of eight artist-educators in the form of portraits. Portraits were analyzed thematically using a procedure of cross-portrait analysis. Four conclusions emerged from the analysis. These include evidence of participants’ greater integration or interdependence of artist-educator identities and roles in later stages of one’s teaching career, experience of some degree or form of transformation in personal learning journeys with art, emphasis on experiential learning as an essential aspect of teaching, and advice to emerging artist-educators to embrace their artistic ways of being and knowing and integrate art into their teaching. Several recommendations for future research and practice are offered along with concluding reflections.
