Analysis Of Results

The current study aimed to collect relevant feedback on teaching practice effectiveness in relation to the tutors, students’ engagement in teaching practice, as well as self-reflection regarding necessary competences for a primary school teacher. Pedagogical activities within the teaching practice have considered: students’ online attendance to the classes held by the primary teacher, filling in an observation form regarding the lessons taught, mentorship session for analyzing the lessons along with the teachers, drafting a psycho-pedagogical record for a pupil, filling a form on reviewing the student’s performance and implication in the teaching practice. Having concluded the study’s results, we can now state that the teaching practice’s way of planning in the second school semester has proven efficient. The mentor-student / inter-student interaction has contributed to developing competences that a primary school teacher does require, through the feedback provided by the observation forms, as well as by involving students directly in the didactic activities, encouraging initiative and self-reflection. Objective analysis of results, suggestions, proposals, as well as difficulties encountered has made it possible to build a solid reference for future teaching practice – both online and in the classroom – and working towards improving it and all its partakers.

This type of postgraduate education school has determined new opportunities, as it has been implemented through creative plans for teachers on implementing innovative ideas in teaching practice. It has been determined that postgraduate education is an investment in human resources, investment equivalent to, or even more, than material or physical investment. Two models of postgraduate education have been characterized – «consumer model» and «progressive model». «The consumer model» of postgraduate education is characterized by the specific pedagogical knowledge obtained in order to meet immediate needs related to the improvement of educational practice. The content of «progressive model» is a provision stating that only creative, advanced teacher who has social and psychological skills, is able to provide a personal and intellectual development of students. In addition, only the teacher, who is self-fulfilled, can fully shape their students need to self-realization. Based on questionnaires, interviews, conversations empirical data analysis is presented, these findings can be used in postgraduate education of preschool and primary school teachers: a clear concept of specialized training – the need to develop functional skills teacher; the concept of functional orientation – need more qualifications for teachers and activity forms of learning; innovation model – methods and forms that enable active and independent and the resulting individual needs to obtain broad knowledge and skills.

The Difference

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of educational drama practices on the ecological footprint awareness of the primary school teachers. In this research, pre-post test single-group quasi-experimental design was used and Ecological Footprint Scale was applied as pre-test and post-test to measure the ecological footprint awareness of primary teacher candidates before and after educational drama practices. Primary school teacher candidates conducted research on environmental issues for ten weeks, wrote a scenario about these issues, staged and watched their scenario. As a result of the study, it was found that the difference between the average scores of the ecological footprint awareness before and after the educational drama studies and the difference between the mean scores of all sub-dimensions were statistically significant (p<0.05). The difference between the average scores is calculated as a big effect[ή2] and it was interpreted that educational drama studies increased the ecological footprint awareness of primary school teacher candidates with a great effect and their sub-dimensions with a medium and large effect. The learner center, which can be used in educational processes, can be effective in providing different activities, information and can enable the acquisition of different behavior and habits with active participation.

This study sought to examine the quality of teaching practice (TP) mentoring in the teaching of music at primary school level through the distance mode of training at one college of education in Zimbabwe. The study examined the experiences and perceptions of lecturers and student teachers on TP mentoring in music within the context of a distance mode of teacher training. A purposive sample of 17 music student teachers and 11 lecturers was selected. The study employed a qualitative case study research design in which one-on-one interviews, focus group discussions and documentary analysis were used to collect data. The main conclusion from the study was that the distance approach to teacher training was not effectively utilised for teacher preparation in music due to inadequate music knowledge and skills of mentor teachers as well as weaknesses of the school curriculum. Recommendations drawn from these conclusions are that the teaching practice period should not be the same for all subjects and more demanding subjects such as music deserve to be practiced more. Student teachers specialising in music must be placed for teaching practice where there are music specialist teachers. This study also recommends that the placement of music student teachers for teaching practice be undertaken jointly by the teaching practice coordinators and the music specialist lecturer.

There is a great deal of interest in researching the perception of teachers about their first years in teaching; however, the research does not often focus on examining the views of primary school teachers. This is despite the fact that their multidisciplinary training, their multidimensional role, and their teaching practice, usually tied to one class group, may lead to their different perception of the first years in practice and therefore to other needs in the field of their support. This article will present the results of a questionnaire survey focused on the perception of the teaching profession during the first years of practice among graduates of the Primary School Teacher Training study programme at the Faculty of Education of Charles University. The respondents show a positive attitude towards the profession; they say that teaching brings them joy and fulfilment. At the same time, they are aware of the great responsibility that the profession brings. From their answers it is clear they have a strong emotional connection to the children and they are interested in their cognitive development. The results of the survey also show that the respondents are sensitive to society’s underestimation of the importance and complexity of the teaching profession.

This study aims to determine the opinions of students in the primary education department about the preparation and use of materials with the teaching practice in Instructional Technologies and Material Design (TTMD) course. This study is a descriptive study based on qualitative data. The sample of the research consists of 49 students from the primary education department who took TTMD course at Almaty University in the 2018-2019 academic year. The data of the research were collected by structured interview form. According to the results, it has been revealed that primary school teacher candidates emphasized the importance on preparing and using materials based on their answers regarding the use and preparation of materials in teaching. When the opinions of primary school teacher candidates about the criteria that they value in preparing and using materials were examined, they emphasized the criteria such as suitability for the student level, fitness for the purpose, being clear and easy to understand. Moreover, the results showed that future primary school teachers have difficulty in finding materials and tools suitable for this purpose.
