The aim of this research paper is to assess intrinsic and extrinsic motivational orientations between the public and the private sector for high school teachers toward teaching as a profession. A sample of teachers were chosen from the public and the private school in Jordan (N=204). Four hypotheses were tested using independent-samples T-test, the result shows that private school teachers were more motivated by extrinsic compensation motives and extrinsic outward motives, while public school teachers were more motivated by intrinsic challenge motives and intrinsic enjoyment motives. The authors found out that private school teachers perceived themselves motivated by money and rewards, to be better than their colleagues in doing their job and need to have a recognition for their performance at their work. Public school teachers perceived themselves as enjoying tackling new problems and solving complex and difficult problems and considered their job as very important to them.

This paper compares the mathematics teaching practices of private and public high school teachers in Punjab. Two hundred public and 180 private school teachers were selected by using random sampling technique from district Sahiwal. The quantitative data was collected by using a Likert type 58 questionnaire items. The questionnaire consisted of six parts: mathematic teaching practices, mathematic effective students’ instruction, mathematic resources availability, use of mathematic resources, use of instructional techniques and evaluation techniques used by the teachers. The study indicated that private school teacher teach in cooperative environment, individual concentration, small group discussion and encourage students in mathematic classrooms as compared to public school teachers. They write equations to represent concept and then engage students in problem solving and practice computational skill as compared to public school teachers. Public school teachers highly believe that text book is primary instructional tool for teaching. They practice difficult problem by drill in their classes. Although Public school teachers are well trained, qualified and experienced yet they emphasize rote learning which is a big hurdle in conceptual understanding. Provision of material resources in public schools is high. Mathematic curriculum document, manipulative, measuring devices, and spreadsheets, worksheet calculators, teacher guide and computers as teaching resources are available in public schools. Whereas, helping books and calculators’ availability is better in private schools.

Post baccalaureate programs for the hasty preparation of elementary school teachers—conversion programs of all sorts — are in operation in various places throughout the country. Much of this responsibility rests with the higher institutions. In Portland, Oregon, however, the public school authorities have initiated a courageous undertaking which is already paying dividends. Mr. Ebey, Assistant Superintendent, and Mrs. Brunskill, Personnel Coordinator, report on background planning, procedures, and progress to date.

This study determined and analyzed the challenges encountered and strategies employed by Junior High School Teachers in managing the students' behavior, who were the respondents of the study, in a private school in Quezon Province that gave way to the creation of a Teachers' Guidebook on Managing the Students' Behavior as an output. The descriptive-evaluative method of research was used in the study together with the Weighted Arithmetic Mean (WAM) as the statistical tool. Further, a validated researcher-made instrument was used to gather the needed data in the study.<p> Based on the findings of the study, under the code of conduct related to discipline, the respondents revealed the challenges encountered in managing students' behavior. The statements that got the highest WAM rating were (1) Failure of students to wear their uniform in official activities held inside or outside the school; (2) Students forget their ID at Home; and, (3) Failure of the students to accomplish their excuse slip form. </p> <p> In addition, the code of conduct related to decorum, the following are some of the challenges encountered by the respondents: (1) Students do not maintain silence when no teacher is around; (2) Students fight with their classmates when they lose their temper; (3) Students disrespect the sacredness of the chapel by uttering nasty words inside the place; (4) Students ignore teacher’s instructions and do some foolishness with their friends; (5) Students disobey the rules and regulations of the school; (6) Students are buying foods even though it is not a break time; (7) Students fail to maintain silence inside the library; (8) Students do not observe silence while buying in the cafeteria; (9) Students do not participate in the mass instead they talk to their classmate; and, (10) Students talk with their classmate while flag ceremony is on-going. </p> <p> The findings of the study revealed that the orientation of the students was needed to familiarize the students on the rules and regulations implemented in the school and to consistently impose discipline. </p> <p> The following recommendations are made by the researcher: The students should understand fully the importance of following the school's rules and regulations by taking seriously the identified school policy on the code of conduct.

Belongingness has been related with several positive aspects in the life of an individual, including academic and psychosocial success. The current paper aims to review the theoretical foundations of belongingness and to present the results of the implementation of a 2-months wellbeing-based program targeting the development of belongingness for high school teachers in a private school in Romania. The targeted variables were the social connectedness (as a measure of social belongingness), social assurance, and, as a moderator variable, the number of maladaptive cognitive schemas. The results indicate that the number of cognitive maladaptive schemas did moderate the intervention effect. Also, the efficiency of the wellbeing-training program in the direction of improving the social connectedness (belongingness) was supported by the data.

Based on the results and discussion, it is concluded that: (1) mathematical questioning ability of the teachers who received metaphorical thinking learning is better than those who received conventional learning; (2) learning factors and KAM (Kemampuan Awal Matematis = Prior Mathematical Ability) affect the achievement of teachers’ mathematical questioning ability. In addition, there is an interaction effect between the learning and KAM in developing teachers’ mathematical questioning ability; (3) teachers’ mathematical questioning ability has not been achieved optimally on the indicators submitting problems in the form of non-routine questions and open-ended questions.
