Can districts keep good teachers in the schools that need them most?     

Cassandra M. Guarino  Abigail B. Brown  Adam E. Wyse 《Economics of Education Review》2011,30(5):962-979

This study investigates how school demographics and their interactions with policies affect the mobility behaviors of public school teachers with various human capital characteristics. Using data from North Carolina from 1995 to 2006, it finds that teachers’ career stage and human capital investments dominate their decisions to leave public school teaching and school demographic characteristics play a dominant role in intra-system sorting. Schools serving at-risk children struggle to attract and retain teachers with desirable observable characteristics. We find evidence to suggest that across-the-board school-based pay-for-performance policies have small but significant associations with mobility decisions and appear to exacerbate inequities in the distribution of teacher qualifications.  相似文献   

Research engagement and educational decentralisation: problematising primary school English teachers’ research experiences in China     

Xuesong Gao  Gary Barkhuizen  Alice Wai Kwan Chow 《Educational studies》2011,37(2):207-219

Teachers are encouraged to enhance professional competence through reflective practice and they are also asked to undertake research to generate evidence for their professional practices. This paper reports on an inquiry into a group of primary school English language teachers’ research engagement in the province of Guangdong on the Chinese mainland. The inquiry explored the effect of educational reforms on the participants’ research engagement through the use of an open‐ended questionnaire and group interviews. The inquiry revealed that research engagement had become an important part of the teachers’ professional lives. Emerging findings from the inquiry also problematised their research engagement as it was found to have been undermined by a competitive promotion mechanism, the teachers’ conceptualisations of research and challenges in the knowledge dissemination process. The paper ends with reflections on how to make teacher research “educational” for teachers and serve as an effective way for professional development.  相似文献   

Developing teaching self-efficacy in research institutions: A study of award-winning professors     

David B. Morris  Ellen L. Usher 《Contemporary educational psychology》2011,36(3):232-245

The purpose of this study was to assess the sources of award-wining research professors’ (six women; six men) teaching self-efficacy through the framework of Bandura’s (1986) social cognitive theory. Semi-structured interviews revealed that mastery experiences and social persuasions were particularly influential sources of self-efficacy and that these sources tended to be closely related. Professors reported that their self-efficacy had generally stabilized within their first few years of assuming a tenure-track position. Participants framed negative events in adaptive ways that had little cost to their teaching self-efficacy.  相似文献   

The Pell and the Poor: A Regression-Discontinuity Analysis of On-Time College Enrollment     

Rachel B. Rubin 《Research in higher education》2011,52(7):675-692

In this study, I capitalize on a natural experiment to examine the effect of federal Pell Grant eligibility on college enrollment for students who graduated from high school in spring 2004 and who completed the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Data from the Education Longitudinal Study of 2002 are used to array students on the continuous Expected Family Contribution (EFC) variable, attained from the FAFSA, and divide them into two categories—those with an EFC at or below the federally designated amount for Pell eligibility, and those above. This regression-discontinuity approach allows me to measure whether students who vary regarding their Pell Grant eligibility, but who have essentially identical family incomes, differ in their college enrollment rates. I find no effect. While confirming prior studies examining the impact of the Pell Grant on college enrollment for traditional students, this finding remains inconsistent with findings on other need-based grants. This result suggests that the minimum Pell Grant amount, currently less than 10% of an average college’s tuition and fees, may be insufficient.  相似文献   

自我效能感改善对排球专业大学生成绩影响的研究     

谢振华  高天 《佳木斯教育学院学报》2011,(5):328+330-328,330

自我效能理论是班杜拉社会学习理论体系的一个极其重要组成部分。自我效能作为重要的非智力因素,是人们在行为操作过程中强大的内在动力,在控制和调节行为方面有着重要的作用[1]。本文通过对排球专业大学生实验研究后发现,改善自我效能对提高排球学生成就动机有明显的促进作用,进而提高他们的运动行为水平,且明显高于未进行干预的对照组学生,其为丰富大学排球专业体育教学内容和提高学生成绩提供了理论和实践理论。  相似文献
