Dual Identities

Due to socio-economic difficulties, many teachers in Uzbekistan combine their regular teaching activities with private supplementary tutoring (PST). Involvement in two professional activities has led to the emergence of teacher and tutor professional identities. It is assumed that the co-existence of dual identities has an influence on the professional activities of a tutor and/or of a teacher. Although a plethora of studies has focused on teacher identity and its effect on teachers’ professional activities and some on co-existence of teacher identity with other social identities, there is a gap in the academic literature with only a few studies on teacher-tutor identity and its impact on their professional activities. The present qualitative study has made an attempt to reveal the types of relationship between these two professional identities, to find out the reasons for the existing relationship and to explore how this relationship impacts their professional activities as a tutor and/or as a teacher. For these purposes, the research utilizes semi-structured interview questions with six university teaching staff members who are also private tutors. By applying a predetermined theoretical framework, an intrapersonal identity network approach, the study reveals the three most predominant types–power relationship, temporal and conflicting. These types of relationship found to have a negative impact on the respondents’ activities as private tutors.

Professional Interest

This research attempts to understand aspects of one area of language learning, learning strategies, in order to possibly identify teaching implications. To that end, the paper outlines an exploratory study examining the language learning strategies of university teaching staff. It was designed to a) identify and classify the language learning strategies employed by the respondents, and b) explicate the relationship between individual differences and language learning strategy use. This study is based on the assumption that the learning of a foreign language involves some conscious manipulation of input. In this sense, language learning is comparable to the learning of other cognitive skills. Although a great deal of work has been done to investigate language learning strategies, few studies have examined those used by language learners with a professional interest in language learning, particularly those who are studying to teach in English or participate in international conferences. Data from 28 university teaching staff members were analysed. The findings suggest that learners with a professional interest in the study of English seem to use almost all the strategies derived from the analytical framework. The participants could therefore be defined as independent learners because they appear to take full responsibility for their learning.

Rotation Procedure

In an attempt to assess the views of academics about issues relating to performance appraisal/ and to test the views expressed by several authors, a questionnaire consisting of 23 items was developed and distributed to a random sample of senior lecturers, associate professors and professors from all South African universities. The research participants were requested to evaluate the importance of each of the items, as well as the extent to which these activities in fact existed in their departments. The resulting data were subjected to a principal factor analysis and an oblique rotation procedure, and five readily interpretable dimensions were identified for both sets of ratings. In the main, these dealt with Feedback and advice, Regular and formal appraisals, staff development, the Role of external examiners, and Consumer evaluation. While no differences were found between faculties, different degrees of experience, different qualification levels, and ranks, it was apparent that there were sizable differences between the importance that academics ascribe to the different aspects of appraisal and development and current practices in their departments. The findings have important implications for the management of academics. Opsomming In 'n poging om akademici se beskouings van aspekte rakende hulle eie prestasies, en outeurs se menings oor die onderwerp te ondersoek, is 'n vraelys met 23 items saamgestel. Die vraelys is onder 'n ewekansige steekproef van senior lektore/ mede-professore en professore versprei. Die navorsingsdeelnemers is versoek om die items te beoordeel aan die hand van die belangrikheid van die aktiwiteite wat deur die items verteenwoordig word, en die mate waarin die onderhawige aktiwiteite in hulle tuisdepartemente toegepas word. Die twee datastelle is aan 'n hooffaktorontleding en skuinsrotasie onderwerp en vyf komponente is gei'dentifiseer/ naamlik Terugvoer en advies, Gereelde en formele evaluerings, Personeelontwikkeling, dieRol van eksterne eksaminatore en Verbruikersevaluering. Geen verskille is ten opsigte van fakulteit/ rang/ oopvoedkundige kwalifikasies of doseerervaring gevind nie. Dit was egter duidelik dat daar 'n betekenisvolle verskil tussen akademici se beskouings van die belangrikheid van aspekte van evaluering en bestaande praktyke binne hulle onderskeie departemente bestaan. Die bevindings het belangrike implikasies vir die wyse waarop akademici bestuur word.
