Abstract.This work is part of a broader study of educational activity by university teachers after the implementation of the EHEA. This research is funded by the Office of the Vice-Chancellor for Research and Scientific Policy UCM (call for proposals 210-GR35/10). The present contribution focuses on the comparative analysis of assessment procedures used by university faculty teaching at different degree levels. We believe that assessment is the key to understanding teachers’ beliefs with regard to the teaching-learning process. The methodology used was the discussion group. The sample included two groups of teachers who teach degree programs for Elementary School Teachers and master’s programs for Secondary School Teachers at public universities in Madrid: Complutense, Autónoma and Alcalá de Henares. Data processing was performed by way of content analysis using the Atlas-ti 0.5 computer application, which helps create the conceptual network for the categories obtained from the participants’ responses. The two groups of teachers spoke about the two basic types of assessment: a) learning-process, b) results. In the case of learning process assessment, both groups feel that developing portfolios and co assessment are important, though the Primary school group also points to self-assessment while the Secondary school group favours standards-based assessment. For results-based assessment Secondary school teachers only believe in assessing homework, but the Primary school group also include tests. In short, both Primary and Secondary school teachers believe in the learning process approach, but this belief is stronger for Secondary school teachers.Keywords: assessment, university faculty, teacher training, discussion group.Resumen.Este trabajo se inscribe en una investigación más amplia de la actividad docente desarrollada por el profesorado universitario tras la implantación del EEES, investigación financiada por el Vice-rectorado de Investigación y Política científica de la UCM (convocatoria 210-GR35/10). La presente aportación va referida al análisis comparativo de los procedimientos de evaluación que utiliza el profesorado universitario que imparte docencia en distintas titulaciones de Educación. Consideramos que la evaluación es la pieza clave para inferir las concepciones que mantienen los profesores acerca del proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje. La metodología utilizada ha sido la del grupo de discusión. La muestra está configurada por dos grupos de profesores que imparten docencia en la titulación de Maestro de Primaria y en el Master de Secundaria procedentes de Universidades Públicas de la Comunidad de Madrid: Complutense, Autónoma y Alcalá de Henares. Al tratamiento de la información se realizó mediante un análisis de contenido apoyado en el programa informático Atlas-ti 0.5 que facilita establecer la red conceptual para las categorías derivadas de los relatos de los participantes. Los dos grupos de profesores aludieron a los 2 tipos fundamentales de evaluación: a) Orientada al proceso de aprendizaje, b) Orientación sumativa, o de producto. Respecto a la evaluación orientada al aprendizaje, los dos grupos distinguen la elaboración de portafolios y la co-evaluación, mientras que los de Primaria tienen en cuenta también la autoevaluación y los de Secundaria la evaluación por criterio. Respecto a la evaluación sumativa los profesores de Secundaria sólo tienen en cuenta la evaluación de trabajos; pero los de Primaria, además efectúan exámenes. En síntesis tanto los profesores de Primaria como los de Secundaria se decantan hacia la orientación centrada en el aprendizaje, más específicamente los de Secundaria.Palabras Clave: evaluación, profesorado universitario, formación del profesorado, grupo de discusión.

We analysed the potential differences between the conceptions of Serbian pre-service and in-service teachers using controlled parameters such as acceptance of the evolution theory. Our sample includes Primary School teachers as well as Secondary School teachers of Biology and of Language. We show that the ideas of pre-service (PreB) and in-service biology teachers (InB) are more evolutionary than those of their colleagues. In contrast, most creationist responses came from the groups of pre-service language (PreL) and pre-service primary teachers (PreP). The agnostic teachers are more evolutionist than other teachers. The more a teacher believes in God and practices religion, the more creationist he or she is, but a great number of teachers who believe in God are evolutionist or simultaneously evolutionist and creationist. There is a positive correlation between evolutionist answers and the attitude that ?Science and religion should be separated?, and ?religion and politics should be separated?.

The aim of this study is to examine the Classroom management profiles of secondary education teachers, including physical education and sport teachers, and elementary teachers. By using a purposeful sampling method in various regions in Turkey, primary school teachers (n=81) and secondary school teachers (n=100) working in Ankara and Gaziantep province constitute the study group. Classroom Management Profile Inventory was used as the operational data collection tool. There was no statistically significant difference between the scores obtained from the general and sub-dimensions of the classroom management profile inventory when there was a comparison between primary school teachers and secondary school teachers. Neither the secondary school nor elementary teachers' scores on the sub-dimensions and sums of the classroom management profile inventory differ according to branch, age, and sex. However, it was found that the primary school teachers differ in the laissezfaire classroom management profiles according to the placement year. In this sub-dimension, the lowest score belongs to the group "4 years and below", while the highest score belongs to the group "5-7 years". Besides, there was no statistically significant difference on secondary school teachers' scores on the sub-dimensions and sums of the classroom management profile inventory according to placement year.

Introduction: School can be considered as a relatively moderate risk working environment due to the various hazards assembled in the school. Nevertheless, Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) training is yet to formally inclusive into teachers’ training module, and the current one-off or ad-hoc OSH training mainly targeted among school students. The different OSH awareness exists among teacher and student have hinder the provision of sustainable and effective safety and health training program at school levels. Objective: To assess the knowledge, attitude and practice among primary and secondary school teachers towards OSH at the school environment. Method: A cross-sectional survey carried out at three (3) primary schools and three (3) secondary schools after stratified random sampling. School teachers from these schools were randomly selected among those who had at least one year work experience as permanent teacher at the current school through the fishbowl technique. A structured questionnaire was used and total 136 teachers were assessed on their knowledge, attitude and practices on OSH at schools. Result: Study found that primary and secondary school teachers have different knowledge, attitude and practices of OSH at school levels. Overall, the knowledge level of secondary school teacher (62.1% of high to medium knowledge levels) are higher than the primary school teachers (41.1% of high to medium knowledge levels); at the same time, 93.1% of secondary school teachers show positive attitude while 88.5% of primary school teachers show positive attitude on safety and health atschools. In general, OSH practice level among the primary (88.5%) and secondary school teachers (86.2%) are atrelatively good levels. Besides, there is positive association with knowledge and attitude on OSH behavior among primary school teachers. Apart of this, there is positive but relatively weak association with knowledge and practices and knowledge and attitudes among primary and secondary school teachers. Conclusion: Considering the background differences between primary and secondary school teachers, a sustainable OSH learning mechanism should be planned and designed together with OSH practitioners and Ministry of Education to achieve a sustainable safety and healthy sound school environment for teacher to work and for students to learn.

The curricula of the new Ukrainian school for grades 1-4, grades 5-6, physics programs for grades 7-11 and the content classification between subjects are analyzed. Appropriate methodological improvements are proposed to close the gap between primary and secondary education, in the context of studying certain physical concepts, by improving the adaptation of students in the transition from primary to primary school, in particular, in the transition from certain issues of mathematics, science and others to physics, where the implementation of subject competence. In view of this, it is suggested that primary and secondary school teachers, when studying the components of the content of the school course of physics, follow the generalized plans for their study, as in the school course of physics.

This study aimed at exploring the perception of secondary school teachers for the importance of implementing the Ivan Illich's Deschooling principles in the educational learning process in Jordan. For that the researchers adopted the descriptive analysis methodology through the use of the questionnaire as a study tool on a sample of (100) secondary school teachers in the three regions of Jordan (Middle Region, North Region and South Region). The study concluded that there is no significant difference between the levels of educational qualification and gender at the level of (α=0.05) in the degree of secondary school teachers' perception of the importance of applying the Deschooling principles of Ivan Illich in the educational learning process. And the researchers recommended that to re-examine the objectives of education in the light of a renewed vision for sustainable human and social development that is equitable and can be applied together, and in this vision we should take into account the social, environmental and economic dimensions of the comprehensive development processes and linking them to education processes.

The general objective of this study is to examine the impact of School’s Resource Center (SRC) on teaching and learning process among secondary school teachers. The specific objectives are; to identify factors influencing the utilization of the SRC and the problems associated with it. In general, 100 school teachers from three secondary schools in Tanjung Malim, Perak were selected as our respondents. Sample selection was made based on purposive sampling and the data obtained were processed by using quantitative method. The results obtained reported that, on average teachers used the SRC twice a week. The reasons for the usage are; to make use the printing and non-printing media available at the SRC, and to participate in various activities and programs organized at the center. In terms of problems, there was no indication on the presence of any serious problem except the SRC should sustain its resources. In particular, the SRC must continuously upgrade the collections of printing and non-printing media with most updated and contemporary issues. Apart of that, the SRC must make available technical assistant(s) to help out the SRC users (students and teachers) anytime needed. In terms of effect, the utilization of SRC encourages group study among students and this approach not only helped to improve students understanding and to inspire their reading interest, but also offered motivation to students in understanding the content of a particular subject better.
