Role Of Teachers

A few studies have examined endorsement of conspiracy beliefs in cohorts of future teachers. We aimed to compare endorsement of conspiracy beliefs in future teachers, as well as the teachers’ beliefs about their students’ conspiracy beliefs in three countries. We recruited 1118 students in England, Greece and France, trained to become middle school teachers. We measured future-teachers’ generic and specific conspiracy beliefs, rationality/objectivity, beliefs in non-conspiracy explanations and their perceptions about the average student’s generic conspiracy beliefs. Differences per subject across countries and dependent measures were identified. Specific conspiracy beliefs, rationality/objectivity and official non-conspiracy explanations predicted teachers’ generic conspiracy beliefs. Teachers’ generic conspiracy beliefs, rationality/objectivity and specific conspiracy beliefs predicted teachers’ perceptions about the average student’s generic conspiracy beliefs. Discussion focuses on the role of teachers’ conspiracy beliefs in mapping out critical thinking and teaching strategies for education improvement.

In teaching, innovative work behavior is an important issue and there is a crucial role of teachers for development of innovations. Purpose of this study is to assess role of teachers beliefs and personality for innovative work behavior among school teachers. Participants were 400 secondary school teachers of 28 schools at Kolkata (West Bengal, India), who were administered the following measures: a) Innovative Work Behavior Scale (Janssen, 2000), b) Belief-Assessment Scale for Innovation and c) Neo Five Factor Inventory (Costa & McCrae, 1992). The Belief-Assessment Scale for Innovation was developed for this study. Teachers belief for innovation, openness, extra-version, and conscientiousness were found to be positively correlated with all the three domains of innovative work behavior i.e. idea generation, idea promotion, and idea realization. Neuroticism was negatively correlated with idea generation. Regression analysis revealed that teachers beliefs for innovation and degree of openness to new or different ideas have a potentially significant impact on innovative work behavior. This study is a significant contribution towards understanding the determining factors of innovative work behavior among teachers.
