Evaluation Phase

The study was conducted to obtain the respondents' agreement via the usability assesment toward the preschool classroom management model that has been developed.. The focus of the main components of the preschool classroom management model are dimension of the physical management of the classroom environment, dimension of the planning management and program/activitiy implementation, dimension of the child behaviour management in the classroom and dimension of the interaction and relationship management. The preschool classrooms managed by preschool teachers such as furniture layout, activities and learning materials provided by them are still inadequate and do not encourage children's learning. Therefore, the study conducted is to ensure that the model developed is appropriate and able to be used by the preschool teachers in managing preschool classroom. This study uses a design and development research approach that involves the evaluation phase of model usability. During the evaluation phase of model usability, the researcher uses modified nominal technique to identify the suitability as well as customer’s satisfaction and their perception toward the developing model. The results of the usability assessment shows that all of the 30 respondents agreed that the model developed in this study could be used as a guide for preschool teachers. The respondents also agreed that the model is very practical for preschool teachers to be implemented in the preschool classroom because the content of the model covers aspects that teachers need to take into account in order to manage the preschool classroom more effectively.

Analysis Phase

The purpose of this study was to develop a preschool classroom management development model based on four dimensions of classroom management. The four key dimensions that focuses on preschool classroom management model are physical classroom management, planning management and implementation of programs/activities, classroom behaviour management and relationship and interaction management. The physical environment and layout of the preschool classroom managed by the preschool teachers still do not encourage children's learning. The learning materials provided are also not suitable and not used for teaching and learning purposes. Therefore, the study aims to identify the needs of preschool teachers in managing preschool classrooms. The needs analysis will enable the development of a classroom management model based on four dimensions of classroom management. This study uses design and development research approaches involving the needs analysis phase, the design and model development phase and the usability evaluation model phase. The findings of the interview in needs analysis phase shows that the preschool classroom environment was managed in its own way and no guidance or model was used. In conclusion, the researcher recommends needs analysis to be conducted toward KEMAS undergraduate teachers, Unity (Perpaduan) kindergarten teachers and also those who are coming from private kindergartens.

The primary goal of this paper is to examine the classroom environment in Colombian public schools based on the trainee teachers’ reflective views when undertaking practicum day-to-day experiences during the final stage of their professional studies. The most important theoretical concepts are based on critical thinking, reflective teaching, and classroom management. The method follows the qualitative research approach, catching a deeper comprehension of the classroom as a complex setting where the teaching-learning processes are carried out according to the curriculum guidelines. Through diaries, observations, narratives, interviewsand meaningful strategies, trainee teachers were able to obtain a more in-depth perception to reach a high level of critical reflections in dealing with the most common academic misconduct episodes which perturb a healthy atmosphere inside the classroom. The results are discussed in relation to the most frequent obstacles, the reasons why they emerge and the implications on the school life. Beyond the mechanical task of planning, developing, and evaluating a class, the challenge of helping the most undisciplined students requires a deep process of reflection, critical thinking, and effective solutions in the light of current international theories andnational education policies concerning teacher preparation  goals.

Classroom management is commonly understood as the structures and procedures that establish and reinforce a productive learning environment. However, traditional conceptualizations of classroom management are rife with culturally embedded norms, assumptions, power structures, and other roadblocks to a healthy classroom environment for all students. While certain routines can help set the stage for learning, teachers must critically examine such routines and expectations to establish a classroom environment that supports learners’ varying needs and backgrounds. This article unpacks several challenges with classroom management and offers offer a culturally responsive approach that supports community over compliance, moving toward democracy, mutual regard, and safe spaces.

Design Heuristic

AbstractThe effectiveness of flipped classroom approaches can be improved by combining it with other pedagogical models such as inquiry-based learning. Implementing inquiry-based learning in flipped classroom scenarios requires teachers to plan arrangements for in- and out-of-class activities carefully. In this study, a design heuristic based on the 5E inquiry model was developed to support teachers’ practice of planning inquiry-based flipped classroom lessons. Following a design-based research approach, the design heuristic progressed through two cycles within 2 years. The design heuristic was implemented in both cycles in an online professional development course for secondary mathematics teachers. In the first cycle, 18 lesson plans were collected and analysed using the 5E lesson plan scoring instrument. Results showed that the design heuristic helped teachers to set up lesson plans for flipped classroom scenarios which were mostly in line with the 5E model. However, the evaluation phase was insufficiently addressed. Revision decisions were made at the end of the first cycle, and the design heuristic was revised and re-implemented in a second cycle. Results of the second cycle showed another 19 participating teachers who also struggled in choosing appropriate assessment techniques, an issue which could not be resolved with the proposed design heuristic. This paper describes the development of the design heuristic as well as relevant design principles for inquiry-based flipped classroom scenarios. The proposed design heuristic is not domain specific. Hence, further research could examine its use in other subjects or interdisciplinary as inquiry-based flipped classroom approaches are one of the emerging pedagogies.

One of the requirements of Education 4.0 is that students and practitioners should be involved in the creation of the content of study plans. Therefore, in the present research we focused on identifying the further educational needs of kindergarten teachers. Teachers’ educational needs were divided into four dimensions: ‘content knowledge’, ‘diagnostic knowledge’, ‘didactical knowledge’, and ‘classroom management knowledge’. In parallel, we discovered how teachers assess the level of their own teaching competencies. Based on the obtained data, we identified that teachers have the greatest need for further education in the dimension of ‘diagnostic knowledge’ and that the need for their further education in this dimension did not depend on the length of practice. In the other three dimensions, a declining trend in teachers’ educational needs has been recorded with an increasing length of practice, declining significantly in three of the four dimensions examined. The study points to the need to create in-service courses for kindergarten teachers to deepen their ‘diagnostic knowledge’ and thus ensure the sustainability of the quality of pre-school education for children. Teachers‘ self-assessment of their own teaching competencies corresponds to their educational needs, which supports the relevance of the findings on the further educational needs of kindergarten teachers. This study aimed to obtain relevant data on which the improvement of the higher education of future kindergarten teachers might be based. At the same time, this would allow the analysis and tailoring of the content of professional development courses to the needs of in-service kindergarten teachers.

PurposeDespite the introduction of structural reforms to the students' loan scheme (SLS) in Ghana's higher education sector, patronage is still low. This paper aims to examine the complexity of technological and behavioural factors underpinning the low rate of students' loan adoption in Ghana. It further contributes to the body of knowledge by exploring the moderating role of financial knowledge in the hypothesized relationships.Design/methodology/approachUsing a positivistic research approach, a sample of 700 tertiary students with experience in accessing SLSs were surveyed. An 88% response rate was realized and the data analysed using descriptive statistics, exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis.FindingsFour dimensions of technological factors (relative advantage, trialability, observability and compatibility) and two of behavioural factors (attitude and control behaviour) were positively related to adoption of the SLS. Financial knowledge only moderated the relationship between compatibility, attitude, behavioural control and students' loan adoption.Practical implicationsFinancial knowledge plays a critical role in influencing the investment decisions of people. Management of SLSs needs to offer financial education to targeted parents/students to clear misconceptions. It is also imperative that all other technical challenges are addressed to enhance adoption rates for the SLS. Review of guarantor requirements is needed also.Originality/valueThis paper introduces financial knowledge as a moderating variable to investigate the hypothesized relationships. It offers a developing country insight into how technological/behavioural factors and financial knowledge might be impacting adoption of SLSs.
