Background/purpose -The aim of this research is to examine the meanings through metaphors that academics derive from their experiences regarding the measurement and evaluation practices when emergency remote teaching was conducted due to the COVID-19 pandemic, to identify the problems they experienced with the measurement and evaluation practices, and to present their solution recommendations. Materials/methods -The study was structured as a qualitative research. The problems experienced by academics in measurement and evaluation practices, together with their solution suggestions were examined according to the "basic qualitative research" pattern. On the other hand, the "phenomenological qualitative research" design was used since the meanings attributed to the measurement and evaluation practice experiences were examined through metaphors. The participants of the study were 2,321 academics teaching at state and private universities in Turkey. Results - The findings reveal that most of the problems experienced were related to "cheating, test security, fair exam environment, plagiarism, inability to measure whether learning objectives had been achieved, inappropriate online measurement and evaluation methods, lack of quality in assessment practices, and technical issues regarding learning management systems." Conclusion - The solutions proposed by the participant academics were the use of alternative assessment methods, conducting face-to-face rather than online exams, asking different questions for each student by mixing up the questions in the exam, and using webcams for online exam invigilation. Metaphors attributed to the measurement and evaluation practices were grouped under three categories;as positive metaphors (e.g., lighthouse, life buoy), negative metaphors (e.g., hallucination, digging a well with a needle), and metaphors implying that such practices played a key role (e.g., water in desert, surgery) in emergency.

Background / purpose – Understanding gifted students’ perceptions by means of metaphors, carefully examining and interpreting them may help to guide the organization of training programs and the differentiation of educational content for gifted students. This study aims to reveal the perceptions of gifted students regarding science and mathematics concepts as well school math, school science, scientist, experiments, and problem-solving perceptions by examining students’ metaphors. Materials / methods – 30 gifted students studying at a children’s university, which was established by a foundation university in Istanbul, Turkey, were selected as the study’s participants based on convenience, criterion, and accessibility sampling methods. To reveal the students’ metaphorical perceptions, gifted students were asked about their metaphors for “mathematics,” “science,” “mathematics lessons at school,” and “science lessons at school.” Data were collected using a Metaphorical Perception Form, and then transferred to the QDA Mine Lite program for qualitative data analysis, which included coding and the creation of categories and themes. Results –Metaphors about mathematics, Metaphors about school mathematics, Metaphors about science, and Metaphors about school science were obtained as the themes of the study. Conclusion – In a general sense, three categories of findings were obtained across all four themes. For metaphors about mathematics, the categories were “favorable,” “relating,” and “difficulty level”; whilst for school mathematics they were “favorable,” “relating,” and “unfavorable”; for science they were “favorable,” “relating,” and “difficulty level”; and for school science they were “favorable,” “relating,” and “unfavorable.”
背景/目的——通过隐喻来理解资优学生的感知,仔细检查和解释它们,有助于指导培训计划的组织和资优学生教育内容的区分。本研究旨在通过考察学生的隐喻,揭示资优学生对科学和数学概念的感知,以及对学校数学、学校科学、科学家、实验和问题解决的感知。材料/方法:根据便利抽样法、标准抽样法和可及抽样法,选取土耳其伊斯坦布尔某基础大学设立的一所儿童大学的30名资优学生作为研究对象。为了揭示学生的隐喻感知,研究人员询问了资优学生对“数学”、“科学”、“学校数学课”和“学校科学课”的隐喻。使用隐喻感知表收集数据,然后转移到QDA Mine Lite程序进行定性数据分析,包括编码和创建类别和主题。结果-获得了关于数学的隐喻、关于学校数学的隐喻、关于科学的隐喻和关于学校科学的隐喻作为研究的主题。结论-在一般意义上,在所有四个主题中获得了三类发现。关于数学的隐喻,分类是“有利的”、“相关的”和“困难程度”;而对于学校数学,它们分别是“有利”、“相关”和“不利”;在科学方面,它们分别是“有利”、“相关”和“难度”;而对于学校科学,它们分别是“有利”、“相关”和“不利”。

Background / purpose – The study examines how early career academics (ECAs) and established academics perceive the importance of mentoring and how mentoring could enhance the career development of ECAs within a South African multicampus university. Materials / methods – Two different sets of semi-structured interview questions were administered to 16 ECAs and 10 senior academics across the university’s six faculties and three campuses. The data were examined using thematic analysis that involved a process of identifying, analyzing, organizing, describing, and reporting the themes that emerged from the dataset. Results – The study’s results revealed that the mentoring experiences of ECAs could be enhanced by, among other things, institutional arrangements designed to address the mentoring needs of ECAs in terms of teaching, researching, researcher rating and engaged scholarship, establishment of clear communication channels that inform ECAs across the different campuses of the various professional development programs available, and the appointment and training of established academics especially at the satellite campuses to mentor ECAs. Conclusion – To enhance the professional and personal development of ECAs, the university must establish an institutional mentoring framework that focuses on equal distribution of resources across all campuses, the adaptation of ECAs to the unique university environment, and promoting professional relationships between established academics and ECAs.
背景/目的——本研究考察了南非一所多校区大学的早期职业学者(eca)和成熟学者如何看待指导的重要性,以及指导如何促进eca的职业发展。材料/方法-两套不同的半结构化面试问题被管理到16名eca和10名高级学者在大学的六个学院和三个校区。使用主题分析对数据进行检查,主题分析涉及识别、分析、组织、描述和报告从数据集中出现的主题的过程。结果-研究结果显示,eca的指导经验可以通过以下方式得到加强:在教学、研究、研究员评级和聘任奖学金方面,为满足eca的指导需求而设计的制度安排,建立清晰的沟通渠道,向不同校园的eca通报各种可用的专业发展计划;任命和培训知名学者,特别是在卫星校区,来指导eca。结论:为了加强eca的专业和个人发展,大学必须建立一个制度指导框架,重点是在所有校园中公平分配资源,使eca适应独特的大学环境,并促进现有学者与eca之间的专业关系。

Did Home-Based Exams during COVID-19 Affect Student Ranking? A Case from a Business School COVID-19期间的家庭考试是否影响学生排名?一个来自商学院的案例
Q3 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2022-01-01 DOI: 10.22521/edupij.2022.112.5
Leiv Opstad, Ivar Pettersen
Background / purpose – Home-based exams were introduced during COVID-19 with an open-book format and limited control over dishonest student behavior. Such exams were used in lieu of traditional, closed-book school-based exams as a necessity due to the pandemic. This article investigates whether or not students’ grades from home-based assessment exams differed from the grades they achieved in traditional school-based exams. Materials / methods – Using administrative data from 2017 to 2020 from a business school in Norway, a quantitative approach that compared differences, correlation analysis, and regression models was applied in the study. Results – By switching from school-based to home-based exams, students’ academic success during their second year of business school showed a smaller association with students’ outcomes from their first year. One interpretation is that skilled students achieved weaker performance in home-based exams. Conclusion – Home-based exams without any control mechanisms appear to result in different student rankings. This knowledge may be useful for employers looking to hire applicants who graduated during the COVID-19 pandemic.
背景/目的-在COVID-19期间引入了家庭考试,采用开卷形式,对学生的不诚实行为控制有限。由于大流行,这种考试取代了传统的闭卷学校考试。本文调查了学生在家庭评估考试中的成绩与在传统校本考试中的成绩是否存在差异。材料/方法:使用挪威一所商学院2017年至2020年的行政数据,采用比较差异、相关分析和回归模型的定量方法进行研究。结果——通过从学校考试改为在家考试,学生在商学院第二年的学业成绩与第一年的成绩之间的关联较小。一种解释是,熟练的学生在家庭考试中表现较差。结论——没有任何控制机制的家庭考试似乎导致了不同的学生排名。这些知识可能对雇主雇用在COVID-19大流行期间毕业的申请人有用。

Background / purpose – This paper aims to examine school mentors’ assessments on the degree of competences developed by preservice (candidate) teachers they supervise during teaching practicum (TP). Materials / methods – A descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted with a questionnaire applied to 373 school mentors for the evaluation of competences of 989 preservice teachers studying Early Childhood Education or Primary Education degrees at the end of three TP periods conducted in schools located in one region of Spain. Results – From the perspective of school mentors, this study highlights that preservice teachers’ competences are progressively developed during periods of TP in teacher education. The results show a more positive assessment of the school mentors about the development of the preservice teachers’ personal competences than their professional competences. Conclusion – The main contribution of this study is the innovative approach applied to competence development in the TP, based on school mentors as the assessors.

Background/purpose – This study analyzed the contribution of three mentorship practices relatively and cumulatively to the research productivity of early-career academics in the field of educational psychology in universities. The study was conducted in the South-South region of Nigeria. Materials/methods – The research method adopted was the quantitative approach, following the ex-post facto research design. The study’s population covered 723 early-career researchers (ECRs) in educational psychology distributed across 19 universities located in South-South Nigeria. The “Mentorship Practices and Research Productivity Questionnaire” (MPRPQ) was the instrument used for data collection. The questionnaire was designed by the researchers and then validated by three experts. Reliability analysis was performed using the Cronbach approach with estimates of .80, .79, .87, and .91 obtained for the four clusters. Primary data were collected from the field after copies of the instrument had been administered to respondents. – Mentorship practices were generally revealed to significantly contribute to the research productivity of ECRs in educational psychology in universities. Specifically, the adoption of cloning and apprenticeship approaches to mentorship contributed substantially to the ECRs’ research productivity. However, the study highlighted that nurturing contributed only negligibly to the ECRs’ research productivity. Conclusion – Mentorship practices are important determinants to the research productivity of early-career educational psychologists. In order to boost the productive research capacities of ECRs, there is a need for institutions to strengthen their mentorship practices.
背景/目的:本研究分析了三种师徒实践对大学教育心理学领域早期学者研究生产力的相对贡献和累积贡献。这项研究是在尼日利亚南南地区进行的。材料/方法-采用的研究方法是定量方法,遵循事后研究设计。该研究的人口覆盖了723名教育心理学的早期职业研究人员(ecr),他们分布在尼日利亚南南的19所大学。“指导实践和研究生产力问卷”(MPRPQ)是用于数据收集的工具。问卷由研究人员设计,然后由三位专家验证。采用Cronbach方法进行信度分析,四个聚类的估计值分别为0.80、0.79、0.87和0.91。在向应答者发放了该工具的副本后,从现场收集了原始数据。师徒实践对高校教育心理学ecr的研究效率有显著的促进作用。具体而言,采用克隆和学徒制方法来指导,大大提高了ecr的研究生产力。然而,该研究强调,培养对ecr的研究生产力的贡献微不足道。结论——师徒实践是影响早期职业教育心理学家研究生产力的重要因素。为了提高ecr的生产研究能力,各机构需要加强其指导实践。

Background / purpose – Teachers play a critical role in student learning processes and in their academic success, and as such their job satisfaction directly impacts upon their teaching efficacy and lecture quality. In light of the importance of job satisfaction in educational practice, this study investigates the impact of work environment factors and personal attributes on teachers’ job satisfaction. Materials / methods – This study utilizes data from the 2019 TIMSS (Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study) for eighth-grade science teachers from the United States. Results – Teacher job satisfaction showed a strong association with the majority of work environment factors and professional development factors, whilst no significant relationship was found with teacher background. Conclusion – Teachers’ job satisfaction significantly impacts on their performance, retention, and teaching efficacy. Through analysis of the TIMSS 2019 dataset, it was seen that teacher job satisfaction is primarily affected by the environment in which they work and also their professional development. These results concur with other findings reported in the literature. However, contrary to prior works, this study revealed no association between job satisfaction and teachers’ background. As a result, schools should prioritize creating a congenial work environment in order to improve teaching quality. The limitations of this research and suggestions for future work are also discussed.
背景/目的——教师在学生的学习过程和学业成功中起着至关重要的作用,因此教师的工作满意度直接影响到教师的教学效果和教学质量。鉴于工作满意度在教育实践中的重要性,本研究考察了工作环境因素和个人属性对教师工作满意度的影响。材料/方法:本研究利用了2019年国际数学和科学趋势研究(TIMSS)的数据,研究对象是美国八年级科学教师。结果-教师工作满意度与大部分工作环境因素和专业发展因素有较强的相关性,而与教师背景没有显著关系。结论—教师的工作满意度对教师的绩效、留任和教学效能有显著影响。通过对TIMSS 2019数据集的分析,可以看出教师工作满意度主要受其工作环境和专业发展的影响。这些结果与文献报道的其他发现一致。然而,与以往的研究相反,本研究没有发现工作满意度与教师背景之间的关联。因此,学校应该优先创造一个适宜的工作环境,以提高教学质量。本文还讨论了本研究的局限性和对未来工作的建议。

Background / purpose – In terms of computational thinking core facets, algorithmic thinking is a key competency applicable not only in Computer Science but also in aspects of daily life. Considering the global phenomenon of gender stereotypes with regards to the academic and professional orientation in STEM fields, we focused on investigating the level of students’ algorithmic thinking skills by gender in early childhood. This article provides evidence of research implemented under the umbrella of quantitative methodology, employing an innovative assessment tool constructed to meet the requirements of the study. The findings obtained could facilitate researchers and policymakers to support equity in learning opportunities, starting from the first stage of compulsory education. Materials / methods – The study aligns to the principles of quantitative research methodology. Its backbone is a digital platform of multidisciplinary, play-based, and constructivist character, which we implemented from scratch in order to satisfy the requirements of our research. Results – The findings of the study revealed that algorithmic thinking skills are not related to students’ gender in early childhood. Conclusion – The findings of the study bring out that, at very young ages, the effect of gender stereotypes is not observable as far as students’ algorithmic thinking skills are concerned. The implications of the study highlight the need to focus on the schooling stages that follow early childhood in order to tackle the gender gap in STEM fields.
