Even though the adopted teaching-learning approaches and the curricula that are based on them are subject to change in an educational institution, teaching competencies and attitudes determine the basic quality of the educational system. The study mainly intends to determine the relationship between levels of teacher candidates' attitude to teaching and levels of their teaching-learning competencies. This study has a survey design as it identifies teacher candidates' attitudes toward the profession and teaching-learning process competencies, and a relational survey design as it explores whether attitudes toward the profession and teaching-learning competencies correlate or not. As the study aims to make a comparison between social sciences and science-math fields, the data was collected from 387 teacher candidates, whose subject fields can be grouped within these two areas. The data was collected through "Attitude to Teaching Profession Scale" and "Teaching Learning Process Competencies Scale". The results revealed that teacher candidates have a positive attitude towards the teaching profession and teaching competencies at high levels. In addition, it was found that teacher candidates' positive attitude correlates significantly with their teaching-learning competencies.

The purpose of this study was to gain a better understanding of how communication relates to teaching effectiveness in an Industrial Education setting. Teaching effectiveness was defined in terms of two criteria: supervisor evaluations of teachers and student evaluations of teachers. Results from the study underscored the importance of communication skills in the teaching/learning process. The most important measures were: teacher dynamism, teacher delivery, time spent with the students, positive reinforcement of the students, and positive attitude toward the students. These measures differentiated “good” from “poor” teaching.

The Way

By the way it presents itself, the repulsive educational style brings indisputable prejudices to the teachinglearning process, strongly affecting the entire construction of this process, especially the segment that covers the relationship between the teacher and the students. Having the ability to impose itself differently – as something reminiscent of an authoritarian or nomothetic behavioral, distant or impulsive, ultra-reactive or strict, oscillating or detached – the educational style in question is characterized by the fact that it contradicts the rights and duties incumbent on the position of a teacher. In his presence, the school environment collapses, ceasing to present a „suitable environment in which essential connections can be created for the multilateral and harmonious development of the student” or a „space in which the professional competence of the teacher is complementary to the developmental particularities of the student”. Moreover, through the conflicting energies he releases, he distorts the meaning of the teaching profession, obviously contributing to the establishment of didactogeny. Or, as it has been mentioned more than once, in various specialty sources, if the educational style does not resonate with the rights and duties of the pedagogical profession, the didactogeny is predetermined, simply, to become a reality, a state in fact, which must be associated with the big mistakes in the area of the teaching–learning process or, in other words, with the big deviations from what the professional deontology of the teacher means.

Abstract.The self-regulation that people use in daily life has not traditionally been studied by educational psychologists. However, after Zimmerman showed the existence of common processes in different domains, experts have taken an interest in analyzing the self-regulating components common to different spheres (education, work, and health). This model considers personal self-regulation as a presage variable in the teaching-learning process. The Self-Regulation Questionnaire (SRQ) designed by Brown, Miller and Lawendowski has been used most often in the research on personal self-regulation. Several studies have examined this instrument’s psychometric characteristics, leading to development of the Short Self-Regulation Questionnaire (SSRQ). This short version has been shown to be a plausible alternative to the long version, in a Spanish sample (Pichardo et al., in review). There is little research in the educational sphere that treats self-regulation as a presage variable; most cases have focused on the more restrictive variable of self-regulated learning. However, studies have shown the importance of including personal self-regulation, in its full sense, as a presage variable. We can infer that the interaction of personal self-regulation with other variables, whether personal (age, gender) or academic (learning approaches, coping strategies, academic selfregulation, regulatory teaching, resilience, etc.), constitutes an interesting, novel focus when analyzing the teaching-learning process at university. We have seen the value of this study, due to the importance of this variable and the dearth of research studies to date that treat educational variables and personal self-regulation. Keywords: Personal Self-regulation, Short Self-Regulation Questionnaire, Teaching-Learning process

Technology has impacted the learning approaches and vice-versa with an aim to improve the standards of language teaching/learning process. The present study focuses on teachers’ preferences and use of technology in their language classrooms. A survey was conducted to seek opinion of EFL teachers both male and female at the English language center on technology-related competencies. The survey comprised four domains: planning and preparation, classroom management, instruction, and professional responsibilities (Danielson, 2007).The questionnaire was distributed to 100 English language teachers (50 males and 50 females) at Taif University English Language Centre. The responses revealed that most of the teachers thought aware of the technology and its uses in education don’t integrate technology in their teaching at planning and preparation stage. They use the available technological gadget in the classroom to exploit some of the activities. They must use the university LMS for uploading certain activities and assessment otherwise they hesitate to design technology-based activities for English language learners. They and the students need training in integrating technology with teaching and learning process.

Feedback is a crucial aspect in assessment that enables students to learn from assessments received. The perception of the practice of feedback has an impact on the fruitfulness of the teaching-learning process. Hence, the main purpose of the study was to assess primary school students’ perceptions of the practices of feedback. To attain this purpose, a descriptive survey design was used, and 474 students from two government and two private primary schools participated. Questionnaires and document reviews were used to collect data and analysed using quantitative and qualitative techniques. The results indicated that students favourably perceive the value and practice of feedback. Most of the students considered feedback as a provision of marks, grades, and correct answers. Yet, judgmental feedback using words such as “excellent”, “very good” and “good” used in the students’ exercise books have little value in showing learning gaps and as such, this type of feedback is not useful in improving students’ learning. Therefore, for feedback to be useful, students should have a positive perception of feedback and take the feedback into account for future learning to enhance their knowledge and understanding.

The teaching and learning system are currently witnessing a tremendous shift from personal-ised learning to student-centred learning that provide the learners with more autonomous and self-directed learning experience which are very much required by today’s digital driven workforce. The aim of this paper is to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of student-centred learning approaches in teaching-learning in Malaysia education industry. Lectures in a selected organisation are chosen for data collection purposes. Data was collected through interviews, observations and focus group discussions which is analysed using content and analytic induction analysis. Data are sorted and categorised into themes to theorize the advantages and disadvantages of student-centred learning in Malaysia Private Higher Learning Education. The findings of this study found that the approach creates a platform or an oppor-tunity to the learners to be more independent mainly in decision making process that encour-ages a learner to be more responsible. Besides, the approach also contributes in a high level of involvement and engagement amongst the students in the learning process that encourages a strong teamwork among students. In addition, the approach also tends to develop both soft and technical skills that lies within the learners which is an important element in today’s fast-growing business environment. However, some teachers still prefer the teacher-centred approach which is often criticized to be ineffective in the whole teaching-learning process as it limits a learner’s higher cognitive skills. Thus, managing all students at once becomes even more difficult. This study provides insights of the advantages and disadvantages of student-centred learning to the Ministry of Higher Education in Malaysia and to the academics so that strategies in maximising the advantages and strategies in overcoming the disadvantages of student- centred learning can be developed

The Ideal

Approaches to teaching and learning keep on changing continuously as evidenced in the development of sub-disciplines dealing with education within the discipline, for example, medical education. This paper brings in another perspective in the search for the ideal teaching and learning approaches. Starting from the Qur’an and the Sunnah, this paper identifies about 20 different aspects of teaching and learning found in these two Islamic sources. These aspects could be grouped into four categories: pre-learning phase and setting the context; personality qualities needed for good teaching and learning relationship; teaching approaches; and lastly, approaches for enhancing the learning process. The paper demonstrates the great potential of the Qur’an and Sunnah for informing on the effective ways for teaching and learning.
