Lietuvos aukštojo mokslo sistema yra kritinės būklės. Vis dažniau kalbama apie išsilavinimo nuvertėjimą ir susvyravusį pasitikėjimą aukštuoju mokslu, o studijų kokybės užtikrinimas yra viena iš labiausiai nagrinėjamų visuose socialinės visuomenės sluoksniuose problemų. Dėstytojai yra tarpininkai tarp mokslo institucijos ir studentų, atlieka esminį vaidmenį teikiant aukštojo mokslo paslaugas. Nuo jų veiklos pobūdžio, asmenybės ypatumų, vertybinių orientacijų, aplinkos, kurią jie sukuria perteikdami žinias, priklauso tiek pačių žinių perėmimo kokybė, tiek mokymo proceso subjektų santykiai. Dėstytojas yra tarsi prizmė, per kurią besimokantys asmenys suvokia visą studijų procesą, jo kokybę ir pačią mokslo instituciją. Šio straipsnio tikslas – aptarti dėstytojo įvaizdžio specifiką, atskleisti jo dedamąsias bei remiantis atliktu empiriniu tyrimu nustatyti jų svarumą.Pagrindiniai žodžiai: dėstytojo įvaizdis, dėstytojo profesija, įvaizdžio dedamosios.Teacher’s Image and its Influence on the Perception of The Quality of StudiesGreta Drūteikienė, Olga Mackelo SummaryThe aim of this work was to reveal the specific features of the teacher’s image and to outline its effect on how students perceive the quality of studies.The teacher’s image is analyzed in the literature overview. Its features are based on professional image and teaching profession. A structural-functional model was constructed.A student survey was conveyed in one of the most valued higher education institutions – Faculty of Economics of Vilnius University in order to determine how the teacher’s image affects the perception of the quality of studies. A group questionnaire required students to express their opinion on the image of the faculty, to evaluate the quality of studies and to define the “portrait” of the teacher. During the period 1 December 2008. – 25 March 2009, 336 students from the Faculty of Economics answered the questions. The overview of previously performed similar researches at the Faculty of Economics was used as an additional information source.The following key components of the teacher’s image were outlined: the main components related to the understanding of the subject and the teaching principles; important and trivial components related to the teacher’s personality, ability to involve the student into the study process; and components of least importance, related to the visual perception of teaching.

One of the main problems of the development of the land market in Ukraine is the unfinished procedure of demarcation of agricultural land. The current legislation has determined the rules for positioning of for land pieces on the locality, has identified and prescribed mechanisms for obtaining a state act on ownership. The analysis of these rules allowed to systematize the input and output data, compile their list, and to determine the executors of the process of determining of location of land pieces. As a result, has obtained a generalized model of the process in the form of a contextual diagram, which defines a single point of view on process, the subject and the goal of modeling in accordance with the requirements of current legislation. The detailed analysis of the process in Ramus Edu. made it possible to develop a functional model of its key stage of the process of developing projects of land management. The use in this process a data, that represents objects defined in a space, the need for their processing and analysis make it possible to justify the use of geographic information systems (GIS). The article offers a method of information support for process of developing of projects of land management, which based on the implement of GIS. The most difficult stage of the method is calculates of the area of land pieces on the locality. This is due to the fact that need to take into account the different quality of land and its intended use, which affects the final cost of the land piece. Possible variants of calculation generalized in a single algorithm, the result of which is the estimation of the area of the land pieces, which indicated in the state act on ownership. Software realization of some of his stages is creating too. Thus, the compilation of available information based on GIS makes it possible to create a comprehensive view of the territory to be demarcated and to make informed decisions when carrying out land parcels on the locality. An example of the realization of some of its stages on the delimitation of lands located in the Pyatikhatk natural and agricultural district of the Dnipropetrovsk region is given. Visualization of the initial data was carried out in the program ArcGIS. An example of the implementation of the proposed method confirmed the possibility to use it in the land management organizations. The introduction of this method will allow to substantiate preliminary decisions regarding the boundaries of land pieces and to shorten the time for field work when the land pieces are transferred to locality

Over Time

One of the key provisions of the No Child Left Behind Act requires states to ensure that every teacher be “highly qualified.” Though the meaning of “highly qualified” remains hotly contested, the legislation's emphasis on teachers is well founded. Nearly all modern research on the subject finds teacher effectiveness to be among the most important school inputs into student achievement. Yet recent literature, including my own work (Corcoran, Evans, and Schwab 2004), finds evidence that the quality of teachers has steadily eroded over time. In particular, the likelihood that a high-aptitude female pursued a career in teaching dropped precipitously between 1960 and 2000. In this article, I summarize these and related findings, review some of the most common explanations for the trend in teacher quality, and discuss policies that have been advanced to attract talented graduates to the teaching profession.

The presented analysis focuses on the moral dimension of the teaching profession, which encompasses the moral competence of its representatives. This dimension determines, at least to some extent, the quality of services rendered by teachers to other people as part of their professional activity. Thus, the research and analyses undertaken with regard to this area of scientific exploration are of importance for the discipline of educational research. The aim of the paper is an attempt at making an introduction to the manners of understanding the term: teacher’s moral competences. Such competences can be placed among a number of competencies a teacher should display. The article was prepared based on an analysis of the literature dealing with the subject of the research. The analysis was used to explicate the category, which, similarly to the category of competencies as such, has turned out to be defined in an ambiguous way. The researchers of the issue of teachers’ moral competences have ascribed various meanings and scope to this term, and have differed in indicating its significance and importance for the professional activity undertaken. This is conducive neither to an attempt at developing a clear definition of this term nor to defining its constituent elements more precisely. The analysis of this category implies the need for paying closer attention to teachers’ moral competences, both in the theoretical and practical contexts, and to conduct intensified research on these competences, enriching thereby the scientific achievements made so far in the field referring to the moral dimension of the work performed by the representatives of this social and professional category, i.e., teachers.

AIM: The purpose of this study was to evaluate daycare educators’ knowledge on oral health, malocclusions and non-nutritive habits and how to address these issues. Educators were also investigated on whether or not they had received previous instructions on oral health and the quality of such information. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A survey was conducted using a questionnaire, given to daycare educators of Araraquara (SP, Brazil). The structured questionnaire had close-ended questions, and was divided into three sections according to subject matter. RESULTS: Based on the analyzed questionnaires (n=143), most educators showed reasonable knowledge on oral health (72%) and non-nutritive habits (52.4%), although 89.5% of them had received previous instructions on the subject. Chi-square test showed no association between the level of knowledge among educators and the variables: age, type of school and self assessment of knowledge. CONCLUSIONS: These professionals need additional information about oral health in order to address these topics through educational practices, since educators are the best suited professionals to teach and motivate children.

A significant role in the development of the professional competence of a teacher is self-educational activities. The article indicates a certain study of the issue, there are the names of scientists in the article who are revealing the essence of the concepts of "competence", "professional competence", "self-education". It is emphasized on the contradictions arising between the socially determined requirements for increasing the professional competence of a teacher and the organization of self-educational activities of teachers in the educational institutions and the need to create conditions in the institution of general secondary education to organize the self-educational activities of a teacher. Under the analysis of theory and practice concerning the research problem, the main components, forms of self-educational activity are determined: educational, scientific-methodical, scientific-research. Forms of self-education of teachers are defined: individual, which is regulated by the teacher according to his needs and administrative, which is organized by administration of educational institution to create conditions for organization of self-educational activities of teacher. The basic principles of self-education activities of teachers are identified as follows: integrity, practical orientation, mobility, self-organization and self-realization. The conditions which improve and encourage the self-education are clarified: organizational-pedagogical, psychological, scientific-methodological, technological and normative-legal. Particular attention in the article is paid to the definition of criteria for assessing the quality of the conditions for the organization of self-educational activities, which are presented in the form of a qualimetric model. It is noted that the application of the qualimetric approach to assess the quality of the conditions of the organization shall provide an increase in the level of self-educational activity as a means of developing the professional competence of a teacher.

Former Teachers

There is an increasing focus on the so-called hybrid teacher, at the European level. This teacher can alternatively work in a vocational school and a business. It is highly believed that this would help to solve both the aging of VET teachers and the quality of VET. The factors determining the choice of a VET teacher as a second career as well as perceptions of the participants’ former occupation were examined in this research using respectively the FIT-Choice and the PPO scales. The survey involved 114 VET teachers from 33 VET institutions of the country. The results revealed the determinants of VET teachers’ career choice, the most important of which are the high requirements of the teaching profession, the willingness to work with young people, and the influence of former teachers. The analysis of the relations between the perception of prior occupations and these determinants showed that social significance of prior occupation, strong interest in the subject and teaching, as well as workplace training self-efficacy facilitates the transition from business to vocational training. The results are discussed taking to similar studies conducted in other countries using the same measuring instruments.

Survey Responses

AbstractStudent surveys are increasingly being used to collect information about important aspects of learning environments. Research shows that aggregate indicators from these surveys (e.g., school or classroom averages) are reliable and correlate with important climate indicators and with student outcomes. However, we know less about whether within-classroom or within-school variation in student survey responses may contain additional information about the learning environment beyond that conveyed by average indicators. This question is important in light of mounting evidence that the educational experiences of different students and student groups can vary, even within the same school or classroom, in terms of opportunities for participation, teacher expectations, or the quantity and quality of teacher–student interactions, among others. In this chapter, we offer an overview of literature from different fields examining consensus for constructing average indicators, and consider it alongside the key assumptions and consequences of measurement models and analytic methods commonly used to summarize student survey reports of instruction and learning environments. We also consider recent empirical evidence that variation in student survey responses within classrooms can reflect systematically different experiences related to features of the school or classroom, instructional practices, student background, or a combination of these, and that these differences can predict variation in important academic and social-emotional outcomes. In the final section, we discuss the implications for evaluation, policy, equity, and instructional improvement.
