The present study reports on the practices adopted by the secondary school teachers of English in implementing the Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE) scheme of the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), India which has to be implemented as part of its national assessment policy. The study is delimited to observing the formative assessment practices adopted by the English teachers in enhancing the four language skills along with using variety of tools and techniques as directed by Central Board of Secondary Education in the Teacher's Manual. This study was conducted on a group of twenty teachers chosen purposively from twenty schools (ten central government and ten private). The major findings reveal that almost all teachers use multiple activities for assessing the listening, speaking and writing skills of the students. Reading still remains a neglected skill in the classroom owing to lack of awareness among teachers to use innovative strategies for enabling them to enhance their reading habit with comprehension. In addition, teachers also make use of multiple criteria to assess the above skills along with assessing sub-skills for the same. It was also found that teachers use multiple forms of record maintenance and assessment for assessing the gifted students in the class. With regard to remediation and enrichment for the students less than 50% of the teachers' prefer not to use multiple strategies for remediation and enrichment.

The study attempts to develop the notion that networking among the teachers can influence the academic achievement of the students in a positive direction along with the smooth implementation of the curriculum at senior secondary level in the schools. In the current study, the syllabus of different subjects of Grade XI and XII has been overviewed and compared with each other on the basis of contents. The curriculum issued by Central Board of Secondary Education, Council for the Indian School Certificate Examination, Cambridge International Examination and some of the State Boards has been undertaken to review the syllabus of various subjects. It has been found that many topics are similar in the syllabus of two or more subjects. It has also been noticed that the teachers face challenges to complete the syllabus in the allotted numbers of classes throughout the year. If one teacher can teach effectively a topic which is being repeated in the other subject then such networking and coordination can save the time and energy of both the teachers as well as the students which in turn removes the other challenges in routine curriculum.

These changes include allowingall of the aspects of the bureaucracy has sufficient capacity to carry out the duties and thebasic function. Bureaucratic failure in a term for service the public until now representpoor government both at central and local government level. The urgency of bureaucraticreform in Indonesia is driven by a number of important note.

Introducción. En las últimas décadas se han desarrollado en todo el mundo numerosas medidas y programas para promover a estudiantes dotados. Pero a pesar de estos esfuerzos científicos y públicos mejorados para mejorar la educación dotada, todavía hay muchas dificultades para implementar algunas de estas medidas en la rutina diaria de las escuelas. El estudio que se presenta examina las consecuencias - tanto para los estudiantes como para los profesores - de que los profesores de secundaria superior alemana ("Gymnasium") y las escuelas modernas secundarias (Realschule) prevean medidas para promover a los estudiantes superdotados: aceleración, enriquecimiento, diferenciación interna y temprana en la universidad.Método. 175 profesores (111 profesores de Gimnasia, 64 maestros de escuelas secundarias modernas) rellenaron un cuestionario con Likert-Items de 4 pasos sobre posibles resultados de los cuatro diferentes tipos de promoción para estudiantes superdotados. El análisis de los datos se realizó mediante ANOVA 2x2x4 con medidas repetidas, con tipo de escuela y experiencia con medidas de promoción entre factores sujeto, tipo de medida como factor sujeto interno y valores medios en ítems referentes a consecuencias anticipadas como variable dependiente.Resultados. Los resultados muestran diferencias significativas con respecto a los resultados evaluados entre las cuatro medidas especificadas. Especialmente para la colocación temprana en los profesores universitarios temía consecuencias negativas para los estudiantes como la sobrecarga de trabajo, la marginación social y la falta de tiempo libre. Para la diferenciación interna, se anticipó el método con los resultados esperados más positivos para los estudiantes, fuertes consecuencias negativas en forma de sobrecarga de trabajo y problemas de organización para los maestros.Conclusión. Para contrarrestar las aprehensiones de los maestros -en su mayoría no realistas- y sus posibles consecuencias negativas en la promoción de los estudiantes dotados, parece necesario proporcionar a los maestros información realista sobre las consecuencias de las diversas medidas de educación de los superdotados. Además, deberían impartirse métodos de diferenciación interna en la formación de profesores de secundaria, en las universidades así como en la formación avanzada de maestros.

This research is about the challenges of post-hajj fostering to the pilgrims (hujjaj) in Indonesia which are quite large in number. All the pilgrims hope ‘ridha’ of Allah SWT to obtain mabrur pilgrimage. That hope is manifested in the efforts of manasik education and training to ensure the hajj ritual in worship is based on the syariah. The Ministry of Religion on behalf of government currently only provides manasik education and training before the departure of the pilgrimage that organized by the Office of the Ministry of Religion in Regencies / Cities and the Office of Religious Affairs (KUA) in the Districts, and does not conduct post-hajj fostering. Whereas post-hajj fostering is needed by the pilgrims to maintain the sustainability of the mabrur. To this day, the only organization actively carries out post-hajj fostering is the Indonesian Hajj Fraternity Association (IPHI) that is spread throughout the territory of Indonesia (the central board, province board and in almost all regencies / cities and Sub-districts). This post-hajj fostering research is conducted qualitatively by observation, interview and document research. Based on this research it is known that the efforts to develop post-hajj fostering in order to achieve mabrur throughout life is a formidable challenge that needs the support of society and government.

One of the higher-priority directions concerning improvement of the institution of general secondary education is the adaptation of teachers’ educational, scientific methodological and organizational activities to the modern challenges. The orientation of the new Ukrainian school to the world educational standards calls for new approaches to the organization of the educational process in institutions of general secondary education, the formation of up-to-date eﬀective innovative competence of teacher-practitioners. In order to diagnose the level of formation of teachers’ innovative competence a summative experiment was conducted as a method to obtain and fix theoretical and empirical data. In the course of the research the criteria for innovative competence evaluation were developed, diagnostic tools were selected, diagnostic procedures and the analysis of the obtained results were conducted. A methodological workshop was held for teachers aimed at defining such basic concepts as «innovative pedagogical activity», «competence», «innovative competence» The level of the formation of teachers’ innovative competence was diagnosed taking into account its components, namely: operational (the formation of intellectual abilities, the quickness of mental operations, ability to solve problem situations), professionalvalue (motivation to obtain innovative competences, professional orientation, ability to self-control and urge for constant professional self- improvement, formation of individual style of pedagogical activity, professionally important personal qualities). Having generalized the results of applying various diagnostic methods (the technique «Six Thinking Hats» by Edward de Bono, the technique of studying the value scales by M. Rokeach, the diagnostic test «Readiness for self-development», «Strategies to form a higher level of basic need for cognition» by Palchevsky, «The methodology of limit meanings» by D. Leontiev) the level of formation of innovative competence of the teacher of the institution of general secondary education was determined.

This chapter assesses the commerce of foreign languages in contemporary Shenyang. It focuses on the production of language as a commodity, the means by which certain forms of language are imbued with social value through the practices of marketing them to consumers. In the scramble to develop Shenyang's foreign language marketplace, school owners developed innovative strategies to build and maintain their businesses, strategies that themselves were crucial in reconfiguring the nature of language itself from something that is learned to something that is sold. The commodity logic of English extends far beyond their reach through uptake into almost all aspects of foreign language use in China, from public schools to testing to corporate management of linguistic (human) resources. It is no longer a stretch to say that English speakers in China are manufactured in much the same way as the vast number of goods bound from Chinese factories to Western marketplaces.

Master's Thesis

In this research, a novel methodology based on the simulation of a call for research projects was applied for the training of STEM secondary school teachers, with results raised and analyzed to determine the response of the students to this new methodology. The activity was applied in the same course during two academic years with student groups from very different teaching specialties such as mathematics, physics and chemistry, biology and geology, technology and health processes who were studying the Master’s Degree in Secondary Education, specifically, the 3 European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS) course of Initiation to Educational Research (IER), this Master’s course being mandatory for working as a secondary professor. The Master’s students are asked to write their own research project proposals for a fictitious call on a topic freely chosen by them, which might have been related to the research line of the final Master’s thesis. In it, they had to propose all the contents studied in the course (such as writing a brief state of the art, establishing a research team, setting objectives, a description of the methodology for educational research, instruments, a plan for the dissemination of the results, the needed resources, etc.). The students’ perceptions of the usefulness and reality of what they had learned for their professional development and for writing their final theses were assessed. The results based on the perceptions of the students demonstrate that the activity had been useful for assimilating concepts related to educational research in the context of secondary education (research skills), which will be useful for improving the critical sense of the students (teacher candidates) and for their professional future in the context of applied research in day-to-day secondary teacher activities. Furthermore, the results show the activity was useful for the development of the final Master’s thesis. The difficult aspects that the activity presented for them were analyzed. The results were statistically compared for the students of the different specialties, deducing, in all cases, a homogeneous good acceptance with slight differences between them.
