Engaging in positive relationships with peers is highly important for children’s learning and development. In the present study, social network analyses were used to investigate how children’s language competence affects their peer relationships in the context of early childhood classrooms. A total of 13 classrooms (N = 248 children) participated. Children’s language competence was measured using tests for oral communicative competence and receptive vocabulary knowledge. Furthermore, a sociometric method was used to obtain network data. Outcomes of social network analyses showed that children are more likely to form relationships with children with high and similar levels of receptive vocabulary knowledge. In addition, weak support was found for the hypothesis that children form relationships with children with high levels of oral communicative

This study aims to recognize which political guidelines operate at the educational level and influence the pre-service education of teachers in science and environmental education. The research question concerns which political discourses influence the curriculum of the pre-service education of teachers in science and environmental education in Colombia. To address this question, we conducted exploratory research regarding educational policies from 1886 to 2017; these consisted of eight laws, nineteen decrees, and eight resolutions. Additionally, we made use of the document of the Colombian System of Educator Education and Policy Guidelines. Finally, in the Universidad del Valle, we studied five resolutions that guided the pre-service education of teachers in science education from 2002 to 2017. In our introduction, we discuss a range of theoretical influences, such as of the World Bank and Western European thought, in education policy discourses that are subsequently supported by the results of our research. Our findings help to understand how scientific and environmental education knowledge could, in response to the educational policy, co-exist or compete with each other for placement.

The aim of this explorative research study was to identify the relationship between the positions of individual students in their peer social networks and their classroom seating arrangement through sociometry and social network analysis. We examined the social networks of 17 classrooms comprising 363 students (183 boys, 180 girls) attending lower secondary schools (ISCED 2A). We found that positions in social networks could not be connected with single specific seating positions. Nonetheless, certain tendencies can be observed. Students who are perceived as more likeable sit in the middle column of the classroom and are seated close to each other. Locations inhabited by dominant students are positioned further from teachers and further apart from each other. The increase of the values of degree centrality, closeness centrality, and eigenvector centrality is noticeable in desks positioned further away from the teacher. By comparing these results with studies examining seating arrangements as a means of distributing learning opportunities through student participation, specific zones can be observed in the classroom that could benefit the children seated there in their roles as students and at the same time in their roles as classmates.

Teacher identity is one of the key factors influencing the form and quality of educational processes. The aim of our literature review is an analysis of research on teachers’ narrative identity in primary and secondary education. We used the Web of Science database and selected studies from 2010–2020 in English. The analysis shows that the area of teacher identity can be viewed from the points of personal and professional identity and their interplay. The data about teacher identity were collected mostly as narratives showing teachers’ experience of their profession and their selves. Professional identity is investigated in terms of diversity in classroom discourse, curriculum, and professional development. Research on a teachers’ personal identity focuses primarily on gender, parenting, sexual orientation, ethnicity, culture, political orientation, and national identity. The study illustrates an interplay of professional and personal identity.
教师身份是影响教育过程形式和质量的关键因素之一。本文的研究目的是对中小学教育中教师叙事认同的研究进行分析。我们使用了Web of Science数据库,并选择了2010-2020年的英文研究。分析表明,教师认同的领域可以从个人认同和职业认同及其相互作用的角度来看待。关于教师身份认同的数据主要是作为教师对其职业和自我体验的叙述收集的。专业认同在课堂话语、课程和专业发展的多样性方面进行调查。对教师个人认同的研究主要集中在性别、养育子女、性取向、种族、文化、政治取向和国家认同等方面。这项研究说明了职业身份和个人身份的相互作用。

Research has shown that students in vocational secondary school programs have worse results than students in general-education programs do, even when their initial results and family background are taken into account. Researchers have noted possible causes of this phenomenon in the school climate. In this article, the school climate is operationalized through a culture of academic futility. We examine whether the feeling of academic futility affects the performance in mathematics and reading literacy of third-year students at grammar schools, secondary vocational schools, and apprenticeship schools, taking into account their family background and initial knowledge. The analysis used multi-level modeling in MPlus and was performed on a set of 2,846 students from 143 classes in 79 schools who were administered tests and questionnaires at the beginning of secondary school and then again in the middle of their third year. The results confirm the effect of academic futility on student achievement and show slight differences in its effect between the two subjects.

Although numbers of citations are considered to be indicators of a researcher’s reputation and contributions in academia, citations can also be assigned a certain economic value. This economic approach can be observed in Czechia, too, which motivates some researchers to gain citations using ethically problematic methods. Therefore, the aim of this study is to discuss issues related to citations. Selected excerpts, which originate from the authors’ academic experience and observations, document how researchers coerce citations and establish citation cartels. Viewed from the perspective of Merton’s scientific ethos, these practices undermine openmindedness, transparency, and a critical approach in research. We present some recommendations for ethically correct citations in the conclusion of this paper.

Innovations created by teachers, teacher communities, and schools in their daily practices play a key role in improving the quality and effectiveness of education. As protocols, central regulations, and ready-made teaching materials do not provide solutions to all problems emerging in daily practice, it is necessary to invent new and original solutions to respond to the challenges teachers and schools encounter in their everyday work. As in other knowledge-based professions, creativity and innovativeness are necessary skills for teachers and teacher communities so that they can work effectively. In many countries, schools are encouraged to support innovative work behavior and are expected to manage change and innovation processes effectively. The increasing importance of innovations and innovation processes in education raises the question of how to measure innovation in this sector and how decision makers can use innovation data. This article presents some of the outcomes of an education sector innovation survey conducted in Hungary in 2018. It demonstrates the possibility to design data collection instruments that enable capturing school/department-level innovation processes. The article focuses on one specific problem area: the relationship between innovation activity/behavior and organizational (workplace) characteristics.

The aim of this pilot study was to describe the process of screening children for intellectual giftedness in a Czech school. The main topic of this study was to compare two procedures for identifying gifted pupils: teacher nomination (including the ranking of children by their assumed level of giftedness) and the results of a groupadministered fluid intelligence test (CFT 20-R). In addition, the length of the teachers’ experience was considered as a factor that might influence the relationship between teacher nominations and CFT 20-R results. The sample consisted of 6 form teachers from a selected primary school who evaluated 106 pupils from the 4th and 5th grades. The level of agreement between the two procedures was quite low and was not influenced by the length of experience in our sample of teachers. However, our study found a weak relationship between the teachers’ ranking of nominated pupils and the pupils’ fluid intelligence as measured by the test. The discussion section of this paper examines these findings and gives possible recommendations for future directions regarding the identification of giftedness and related training of teachers.
