Measuring Beginning Teachers' Satisfaction with Their Pre-Professional Training

By deleting items loading on 2 or more factors, a 36-item Teacher Education Program Evaluation scale was reduced to 25 items with loadings on single factors. Factor analysis of the responses of 161 beginning elementary teachers revealed five factors accounting for 66.5% of total variance. Confirmatory factor analysis of responses from 178 beginning secondary teachers resulted in a similar five-factor solution accounting for 65.4% of the variance. Coefficients of congruence for the two samples ranged from .83 to .97. Reliability estimates for the subscales ranged from .79 to .91 for elementary teachers and from .67 to .93 for secondary teachers. The Personal Development factor discriminated 1969 graduates from 1974 graduates of a competency-based program featuring human relations training, more field experiences, and a team approach.

Background: While medical and polytechnic education systems seem dissimilar in approach, they both share a certain level of difficulty. After graduating, polytechnic students find easy employment in national or multinational companies, whereas medical students are presented with more job opportunities abroad. The purpose of the study was to compare studentsâ€™ satisfaction with training and career preferences from a technical and a medical perspective. The methods were as follows: the study participants were divided in two samples (polytechnic and medical undergraduates) and asked to fill in a satisfaction questionnaire regarding their professional training. In addition, they were invited to express options about the intended future career. Results: we found no differences between the two samples regarding the participantsâ€™ satisfaction with teaching staff and labs. Polytechnic students have more Ph.D. opportunities while medical students were more involved with participation in conferences. Satisfaction with lectures and practical projects was significantly higher among medical students. Conclusions: Both polytechnic and medical students rate their training as satisfying, and half of them consider leaving the country.

<p>The study draws on findings from a survey of adults in non-formal continuing education under the professional training for employment framework in Spain. Quantitative analysis was carried out to a sample of 425 respondents from three different educational providers. Firstly, a factor analysis was conducted to fourteen motives for participation items. A two-dimension model of motivation to participate was identified: one dimension oriented towards job-improvement and the other dimension oriented towards learning. Secondly, a variance analysis was conducted according to demographics variables. Results showed significant statistical differences in the first dimension according to demographic variables. This might indicates an instrumental motivation in participation in work-related training among different groups who try to cope with different types of drawbacks.</p>

The necessity of professional motivation formation as an important component of future teachers' professional training has been substantiated in the article. The purpose of the paper is to analyse the factors that influence future professionals' positive professional motivation formation in the field of education. The results of the work are a description of the basic concepts of the motivation of the future teacher's professional-personal development, outlining their main features and defining the tasks and ways of professional growth of the students of higher education pedagogical institution. The proper motivation of the future teacher is nothing but a skilful internal stimulation of the individual's activity in the process of working on himself, is an encouragement to his own development and improvement. Formation of motivational sphere implies education of future ideals and teachers of professional ideals, value orientations, and pedagogical orientation. The motivational realm of professional development consists of many indicators that are constantly changing and interacting with one another. In the structure of motivation, the resultant and procedural components have been distinguished. The meaning of human activity is but is not limited to, the result. After all, the activity itself also makes sense: the process of activity itself, not its result, drives the subject. Each person has his or her own relatively stable system of motives for activity, depending on his (her outlook, orientation, personality traits, self-consciousness, life and professional experience, intelligence, psychophysiology).

Title 1 Schools

This study aims to explore preservice teachers' motivations to teach at Title I schools as well as whether their motivations differ based on how far they are in their teacher education program. A total of 128 preservice teachers from two groups with different numbers of field experiences were surveyed. Preservice teachers cited extrinsic, altruistic, intrinsic, and past learning experiences as main reasons motivated them wanting to teach at Title I schools upon graduation. Their motivations might change due to the influences from professional training and social experiences. It was also found that in both groups there were many preservice teachers undecided whether they wanted to teach at Title I schools or not. Implications for research and practice are discussed.

Addenbrooke’S Cognitive Examination

Background: The Addenbrooke's Cognitive Examination (ACE) is used to measure cognition across a range of domains in dementia. Identifying the order in which cognitive decline occurs across items, and whether this varies between dementia aetiologies could add more information to subdomain scores. Method: ACE-Revised data from 350 patients were split into three groups: Alzheimer's type (n = 131), predominantly frontal (n = 119) and other frontotemporal lobe degenerative disorders (n = 100). Results of factor analysis and Mokken scaling analysis were compared. Results: Principal component analysis revealed one factor for each group. Confirmatory factor analysis found that the one-factor model fit two samples poorly. Mokken analyses revealed different item ordering in terms of difficulty for each group. Conclusion: The different patterns for each diagnostic group could aid in the separation of these different types of dementia.
