Once teachers enter the world of teaching, their opportunities to find continuing education become diffuse and often problematic. Despite the significance placed on continuing education by school districts, inservice and staff development activities are largely understudied in the research community. Accordingly, the purpose of this study was to investigate teachers’ inservice preferences and the relationship of these preferences to selected teacher and school characteristics. A 25-item questionnaire was administered to 85 secondary physical education teachers to assess their preferences for inservice education activities. Multiple regression and factor analysis revealed that selected teacher and school characteristics accounted for significant proportions of the variance as measured by the Inservice Needs Inventory.

This study examined the relationship between the total number of practice trials and practice trials using correct technique and achievement in a soccer kick-up skill. Eight preservice physical education teachers taught two lessons to 10 fourth-grade students; upon completion of the instructional periods the students were posttested on the soccer skill. Each class was videotaped, and the entire lesson for each day was coded for each student using an event-recording system. Findings indicated moderately high significant relationships between practice using correct technique and student achievement.

The present study aims at investigating the relationship of the deviant workplace behavior with the organizational justice and staff development in the universities of Tehran. The descriptive-correlational research method has been used, while the data analysis has relied on the correlation and regression analysis. The research population has comprised of the all staff of the selected universities in Tehran. Sampling has been conducted through stratified random method, which resulted in a sample with 326 participants. In order to measure the deviant workplace behavior and staff development, two researcher-made questionnaires have been used (reliability= 0.92 and 0.85, respectively), while the organizational justice has been measured using the Niehoff and Moorman (1996) (reliability= 0.87). The findings revealed that deviant workplace behavior has a negative relationship with the staff development (p=32) and organizational justice (p=22). The results of the regression analysis delineated that staff development has a mediating role in the relationship between organizational justice and deviant workplace behavior. That is, organizational justice sets grounds for staff development and in turn, staff development reduces the deviant workplace behaviors.

The Relationship of Management Style and Job Satisfaction among PE TeachersThe present study was conducted with the purpose of determining the relationship between management style of physical education responsibilities with job satisfaction of sport teachers and determination of the relationship between transformational and transactional leadership of physical education authorities with job satisfaction of sport instructors.After recognition of relationships between management style and leadership with job satisfaction, a step is taken towards recognition of effective factors for improvement of organization; therefore, such research is considered as optimized and appropriate solutions for recognition of the management and organization's problems and difficulties, for presenting guidance.This study is based on the opinions of 181 male and female physical education teachers from five districts of the education and instruction department of Esfahan, in which the type of management style of physical education authorities of all five districts of education and instruction of Esfahan and job-satisfaction of the teacher were evaluated through two questionnaires, the confidentiality of which was computed via Cronbach's alpha-coefficient.Results of the study showed that the relationship between management style and leadership of physical education authorities and sport teachers' job-satisfaction with P<0.01 level has been positive and significant. Also, the relationship between transformational and transactional management style of physical education authorities and job-satisfaction of teachers with p<0.01 level has been positive and significant too. Amongst other results of this study with regard to e.g. sex, age, marital status, field of education, educational degree, and previous work-record of P.E teachers and their job-satisfaction, the relationship for those with p<0.01 level has not been significant.

The two researchers prepared a decision-making scale consisting of 22 items. Percentages were calculated, the arithmetic average and hypothesis were calculated. The reliability coefficient was found using the half-segmentation method and Alpha Cronbach to know the test stability and correlation coefficient. Pearson Validity Discrimination of Paragraphs and the t-test In light of the results of the research, conclusions were reached, where the critical thinking of the players was found to have a positive relationship in the skills of hitting and crushing wall.

The paper discusses the relationship of individual learning at the workplace and organisational learning from the perspective of adult education research. It asks which processes are required for individual learning to contribute to organisational learning and considers boundaries against change triggered by the organisations’ members. This question is discussed by focussing on a recent empirical study, which outlines processes of communication that help to transform individual into organisational learning. These processes are analysed within the context of inter-organisational cooperation, taking up a topical challenge in adult and continuing education in Germany. The study draws on Social Systems Theory; its methodological design comprises qualitative case studies. The empirical results differentiate organisational learning as a multi-faceted concept that encompasses change and highlights how organisations develop processes to prevent being induced towards organisational learning by their members. The paper discusses these findings with regard to the demands lifelong learning faces in the workplace.

The short tenure and frequent turnover of urban superintendents has been attributed to the growing unmanageability of urban school districts. This instability at the top is said to limit the prospects for sustained reform. In this article, we calculate the average tenure of urban superintendents since the turn of the century. Our research suggests that the tenure of superintendents has been decreasing, but not in a linear fashion and not as precipitously as is often reported in the press. We believe that a complex mix of environmental, local, and professional factors may help explain changes in tenure, but the causal and interactive relationships between them remains a mystery. Nevertheless, our findings suggest the longer-than-anticipated tenures raise questions about the relationship of "short tenures" and the problems facing urban school districts.

The Relationship

The present research aimed to unveil the positive and negative marks in the teaching trajectory of six experienced literacy teachers who have worked for more than fifteen years in the Municipal Education Network of Brusque (SC). The option for experienced literacy teachers is justified by the trajectory already experienced by these teachers in the exercise of their profession. Contributions were chosen as a theoretical framework Marcelo García (1999, 2009), Vaillant and Marcelo (2012, 2015), Imbernón (2010,2011), and Nóvoa (1992, 2000, 2009, 2010, 2019) to dialogue with the narratives of the participating teachers.The research has a qualitative and biographical approach called “life story”, and the data analysis occurred through discursive textual analysis. The results showed that the positive marks point to the training and courses offered by the municipality through the federal government; the dialogue and collaboration of the family in the relationship of pedagogical work; the relationship with children and learning to read and write. The negative marks reveal the lack of courses for literacy teachers; lack of continuing education linked to the real needs of teachers; difficulties with the family when the parents doubt the work they do; inclusion in the classroom and the lack of support from family members in this process. It is hoped that the narratives of the most experienced literacy teachers will contribute to a reflection on teacher training, helping, above all, literacy teachers beginning in the profession.
