Analysis Point

The public policies of media literacy gain importance in the face of the transformations of the ways of making communication. And the effectiveness of these policies, within the scope of basic education, may run counter to the receptivity of teachers. This article analyzes the perception of teachers of public education in Fortaleza (Brazil) about educational radio and the orientation they adopt in the development of curricular activities. The research was carried out in 2014, in 21 schools integrated to the More Education Program (PME). The PME, implemented in 2007 by the Ministry of Education, intends to develop a policy of integral education for schools. One of the activities offered is school radio, by the macro field “Communication and Use of Media”. A total of 124 interviews were carried out, among More Education coordinators, teachers and students. The interviews were carried out from a questionnaire of 63 questions. For this article, we focused on the analysis of 31 interviews with public school teachers who made the option of school radio as an activity. The results of the analysis point to a low index of teachers participation in the functioning of school radio, a perception of learning still focused only on literacy and difficulties in the approximation between school radio and classroom.

We investigated how a program (GK-12) that engages diverse graduate students with middle school teachers and children impacts the participants’ teaching knowledge over a period of one day a week over ten-weeks. The experience includes graduate students developing and delivering a standards-based, hands-on and inquiry-infused lesson centered around their research interests. Qualitative analysis of reflective journals of the participants show that this intensive engagement with teachers and students increased their understanding and experience with pedagogical techniques and strategies to promote and improve student learning and understanding, developing and enhancing personality traits that encourage a positive culture for learning, and acquiring strategies and the fortitude needed to meet and deal with multiple priorities in a complex teaching environment. These results suggest that GK-12 type programs provide graduate students with skills and experiences that can be valuable when seeking employment in industry, the public or nonprofit sector, or as faculty at post-secondary institutions. Continued research of the program is necessary to determine how past participants have utilized these skills as a competitive advantage in their careers.

Sense Of Reality

This paper reports the experience of developing teaching materials for public school teachers and students in southern Brazil in a project funded by the Education Department of Paraná State. The materials were intended as resources to be used by teachers according to their needs and those of their local communities, rather than as a textbook per se. The theory underlying this project is based on critical literacy and the idea that language is discourse, i.e. embedded in cultural and ideological values which determine its meaning and establish power relations among texts, among readers and among texts and their readers - Freirean "readers of the wor(l)d". Student-readers are, in this sense, co-constructors of meanings and responsible for making sense of reality. We expect students and teachers who use the materials we designed to become more aware of their possibilities as agents and this way we intend to foster a sense of active citizenship.

New directions have been rising in Comparative Education as a result of a steep process of social and epistemological changes that progressively confirm their own value in the face of a greater analytical distance regarding the context, object and issues relating to a particular reality or problem. Aiming at discussing the comparative perspective in Public Policies for Education, this study expands on Brazil-Spain comparisons in this field, with the objective of putting together a descriptive inventory regarding the academic and related scientific output covered by the period 1990-2014, focusing the Public Policies for both Basic and Higher Education. The research showed a shortage of studies with this focus and that authorship in the area is consistently Brazilian. Although relatively diverse when it comes to their objects of analysis, the largest portion of the studies on Basic Education noted, in each of the methodological and interpretative approaches adopted, the prevalence of similarities in the processes of rupture or continuity between the post-redemocratization public actions in Brazil and Spain – it was rare that significant differences were observed between these countries by these studies. The similarities are also present in the studies on Higher Education, which address the phenomena of globalization, their actors, processes and objectives in the construction of public action within the context of national states, showing a certain standardization of cross-border impacts despite the distinctions signaled between the Higher Education systems of these two countries and their respective processes of local resignification of these same influences.

The creation of a University Press is a prerequisite for raising the reputation of the Medical University - Plovdiv. With its significant scientific output and the large number of students, it will represent the face of the University in front of the scientific communities and will be an important element of the national and international interuniversity communication. By documenting the individual qualities of the teachers, knowledge is preserved and its development is assisted, thus meeting the public demands. Without a developed publishing activity, it is difficult to evolve the creative potential of teachers and students. The University Press, on the one hand, is a real participant in the learning process, as it facilitates students' access to books as well as novelties in science. On the other hand, it is also a natural center of university life.

Several members of the Association expressed their conviction, at the General Meeting and at the subsequent Dinner, that there should be more articles in the Gazette, and more papers read at the Meetings, on the purely pedagogic side of mathematics. It is right and necessary that the general development of the various branches of our Science should not be lost sight of in an organ such as the Gazette, and the reader must be kept in touch by reviews with what is being done in school text-books both at home and elsewhere. But the special aims of the Association (and the object of the Gazette is to secure by publicity the realisation of those aims), is to improve the teaching of our subject in our schools. With this view the Editor is in cordial agreement. He asks the readers of the Gazette to come to his assistance in the matter, to propose subjects for discussion, to offer papers, to ventilate their special difficulties in a “ Question and Answer “ column, in short to do for the Gazette what no Editor can do single-handed. If this proposal is taken up with any vigour by our readers, it should be quite possible to arrange for the regular appearance in the Gazette of a series of Symposia, consisting of (1) articles from the pens of its members and (2) a general summing up of the pros and cons of the points at issue by an authority who combines academic distinction with teaching experience. The latter is easy to find. It is the former who as yet have not come to the front in our Association. The Council has said in the Annual Report that this last year has been a quiet year. We are not sure that this may not be meant for a piece of biting criticism, suggesting that though more remains to be done we have not done it. Be that as it may, we appeal to the readers of the Gazette for their cordial co-operation in providing the material for such discussions as are indicated above. Apart from our differences as to detail in the processes of teaching, there are many other topics which should be of interest to the majority as well as to special groups of our members. Those who are engaged in Preparatory Schools should be glad to expound their views of what is feasible with boys of the age with which they deal, and the Public School Teachers of Mathematics should be glad to indicate the lines along which training should proceed, and any way of improving the preparation of the boys who are ultimately to come under their care. The fairness of the papers set at the various examinations, and their strict adherence to the official syllabus may also prove a fruitful subject of discussion.

Survey Questionnaires

This study analyzed the Philippine public school teachers' financial literacy challenges. The data and results were gathered through online survey questionnaires and focused group discussions conducted in the school year 2019-2020. Twelve participants contributed to the FGD, while a total of 325 teacher respondents answered the online survey questionnaires. The results showed that the majority of the public-school teachers are struggling financially. That results in a controlled and limited financial lifestyle. Moreover, teachers unconsciously practice informal debt, which causes uncontrolled debt. Without proper knowledge and education to financial literacy, borrowing money becomes a lifestyle of every teacher in the country. Based on the findings, a financial literacy program must be included in every in-service training or division-wide teachers' mass gathering. The financial literacy program may be implemented by all participating schools where the study was conducted. Future research related to financial literacy programs may be conducted in basic education, colleges, and universities following the method used in this study.

The contents of the Senate Bill 956, better known as the Teachers' Protection Policy Act was examined and analyzed based on the following themes, namely, support mechanisms for public school teachers and personnel, enhanced protection of public-school teachers and personnel, and training on guidelines and classroom discipline for public school teachers and personnel. According to the Republic Act, 4670 or the Magna Carta for Public School Teachers, the appropriateness of the act was checked to see how much help this bill can provide to the public-school teachers in the Philippines in terms of classroom discipline and classroom management. The bill poses excellent benefits to the public-school teachers. However, the Department of Education must identify which disciplinary acts or strategies are not categorized as child abuse and that there should be centralized policy implementations, seminars, and training to avoid misinterpretations and discipline avoidance among teachers. This paper hopes to contribute to a research-based, logical, and relevant drafting of HR policies and programs to support and protect the teachers as mandated in the Magna Carta for Public School teachers and SB 956. This study employed a qualitative method using resources available online.

State And Local

The recent economic crisis was especially damaging to state and local governments financial situations. One suggested solution to these difficulties is to consolidate smaller political jurisdictions into larger ones to reduce costs. This paper presents a theoretical model for the determination of wages and salaries in the public sector with implications for the variation of public sector salaries across jurisdictions of different sizes. Data is presented for public school teachers salaries in Illinois by district size which shows that salaries are higher in larger districts. This would seem to suggest that consolidating smaller school districts into larger ones will result in higher salaries, leading to the question: Will political consolidation really save money?
