While CTE has taken a turn for the state-of-art; trades and industrial tracks have began to fall to the wayside. Stigma akin to helicopter-parenting has had folks being steered away from grassroots tradition.
This research paper aimed to understand the motives of UK sixth formers considering higher education. A survey of 418 sixth formers assessed personal values and motives for pursuing higher education using established measurement instruments.
The findings showed that sixth formers are most motivated by instrumental goals like acquiring a profession or degree. They want higher education to expand their knowledge through intellectual challenge and self-fulfillment. Career attributes and qualifications recognized by employers are also very important. Social motives like meeting new people or expectations of others ranked lower. Overall, employability is the main driver, as sixth formers see higher education as a means to a high-status job.

This document compares quality assurance mechanisms for student learning outcomes between Taiwan and England. It conducted interviews and reviewed documents from a university in each country. Some key similarities were that both countries have national quality assurance organizations and emphasize student learning outcomes. However, differences were found in the audit levels (national vs. institutional) and responsibility for quality assurance. The Taiwan university had each department develop mechanisms, while the England university had university-wide mechanisms. Academics perceived issues with bureaucracy, balance of regulations vs. autonomy, and flexibility in implementation.
Models of evaluation in educational technologyal-husseini
The document summarizes a study that adapted Kirkpatrick's model of evaluation to accommodate e-learning environments. The study measured the effectiveness of e-learning using Kirkpatrick's stages of reaction, learning, and performance. While e-learning programs were as effective for learning outcomes as traditional programs, recipients of face-to-face instruction expressed more satisfaction. The findings established guidelines for evaluating e-learning programs using an adapted model.
The systematic approach to learning focuses on the learner. The instructor considers the learner's needs, interests, and readiness to select appropriate teaching styles and techniques. The instructor then implements the instructional process, evaluates outcomes, and refines the process before starting again. The goal of the systematic approach is to increase the quality, efficiency, individuality, and flexibility of learning.
The document summarizes a study that analyzed over 5,000 research studies on principal leadership and its effects on student achievement. From those, 69 studies were selected that met quality standards. Those 69 studies included ratings of over 2,800 principals by 14,000 teachers, which were then correlated with test scores of over 1.4 million students. The findings were published in a 2005 book on leadership strategies shown to improve student achievement.
The system approach originated during World War II and has since been applied to various fields including education and instructional systems. A system can be defined as a dynamic, complex, integrated whole consisting of interrelated and interdependent elements organized to achieve predetermined objectives. The system approach involves analyzing elements, designing solutions, and evaluating outcomes to understand and improve upon a system in a structured manner. When applied to education, it aims to enhance efficiency, utilization of resources, planning, and quality of education overall.
Academic staff perceptions of the value of elements in an online learning environment were investigated through a survey of staff at Deakin University, Australia. Staff rated the importance and their satisfaction with various online learning environment elements. The most used and valued elements by staff were core functions like accessing unit information, notes, and reading discussions. Elements related to online assessment like submitting and managing assignments and receiving feedback were identified as most needing improvement. Staff felt the online learning environment enhanced their teaching when students could easily access materials and staff were confident in using the online tools after professional development.

Education System and Employ-ability: From multicultural team perspectiveJayanthi Thiyagarajan
The document discusses outcome-based education (OBE) and the gap between education and employability from the perspective of a multicultural team. It analyzes data from interviews with team members that found shortcomings in their university education, such as a lack of practical and soft skills training. The findings suggest curriculum should be designed to achieve intended outcomes and include skills demanded by industry like problem-solving, communication, and critical thinking. A well-structured curriculum can improve students' employability, especially for those from rural areas.
The document discusses perspectives on quality assurance in online learning. It addresses whose perspectives should be considered, such as the institutional perspective focusing on processes and benchmarking, or the learner perspective focusing on flexibility, responsiveness, and satisfaction. An integrated approach to quality assurance should consider multiple perspectives, including the content and learning process perspectives. It also recommends using Merrill's principles of instruction and an action research approach to quality assurance that integrates strategic planning, implementation, monitoring, and improvement.
This presentation discusses considerations for using tests in teacher evaluation in Colorado. Key requirements include assessments constituting 50% of evaluations using statewide tests and growth models. Unique aspects of Colorado's approach include evaluating progress on "catch up" and "keep up" metrics using the Colorado Growth Model. The presentation notes issues like inconsistent results from different tests and models, potential bias, and problems translating rankings to ratings. It recommends using multiple assessments and models to arrive at effectiveness determinations.
The system model of curriculum developed by Y. Saran analyzes curriculum development as a system with inputs, processes, and outputs. It emphasizes specifying behavioral objectives and evaluating outcomes. The model assumes curriculums need continuous improvement and are never perfect. It involves assessing needs, identifying objectives, selecting content, designing evaluation, developing resources, testing, and reviewing the curriculum system.
Summary of two evaluation studies in educational technologyHams Alqwareer
1) The first study examined issues involved in implementing a technology-enhanced student-centered learning unit. Data collection methods like observations, interviews, and debriefings were used to evaluate problems students and teachers encountered and identify strategies for improving such activities.
2) The second study evaluated the effectiveness of an e-Blackboard system using the Technology Acceptance Model framework. The study found that the system's ease of use and usefulness positively influenced students' attitudes and determined the technology's effectiveness.
3) Together, the studies provide insights into implementing technology-enhanced learning and evaluating educational technologies using established frameworks.
This document discusses systems approaches and audio-visual aids in education. It defines a system as having interrelated and interdependent components working together towards a common goal. An educational system includes teachers, students, curriculum, and materials as inputs, the teaching and learning process, and achieving educational objectives as the output. It presents steps in applying systems approaches to education, including formulating objectives, designing the system, implementation, evaluation, and improvement. The document also defines audio-visual aids as any devices that supplement instruction through sight and sound, like pictures, models, and videos. It discusses various education theorists' perspectives on audio-visual aids and their importance in facilitating hands-on learning experiences.
This document summarizes research on in-service group training for early childhood care providers. It finds that while such training can improve care quality and child outcomes, most studies have limitations. Specifically, few measure behaviors or social validity, use strong research designs, provide procedure details, or promote generalization. The document also proposes a three-tier framework to address the eight dimensions of applied behavior analysis in such research more fully.
Quantitative External Project: Kentucky Professional Development Framework Im...LMweas
This study examined the relationship between classroom settings (child care, head start, or public preschool) and the extent to which educators implemented what they learned from training in their classrooms. The study analyzed data from 198 educators in Kentucky. Chi-square tests found no significant relationship between the classroom setting and implementation of training. Further, Cramer's V effect size showed only a weak relationship between the variables. While the variables were independent, the study contributed to understanding how Kentucky's professional development framework and educators' training levels impact program quality and child outcomes.

Deep approaches to learning by students are encouraged by teaching that fosters engagement with learning and assessment tasks and clearly stated learning outcomes and expectations. Students learn deeper if they are required to reflect on what they have learned. Reflective thinking by students is not only a description of 'what they have seen or done', but rather it is a process of their drawing comparisons with what happened, what they already know, how they relate this experience to the theories that they have been introduced to and how they modify their own ideas in light of this reflection. In this paper, we present our experiences in using the 4 R (Report, Relate, Reason and Reconstruct) principle developed by John Bain (2002) in teaching a software engineering subject. Students are required to submit the 4R ePortfolios on the major topics of the subject as a part of their overall assessment.

This document summarizes two studies: a comparative study and a non-comparative study. The comparative study compared student satisfaction and learning outcomes between an online course and equivalent face-to-face course. It found no significant differences in student satisfaction, perceptions of interaction and support, or learning outcomes between the two formats. The non-comparative study identified three factors that contribute significantly to student satisfaction in online courses: clear structure, engaged instructors, and dynamic discussions. Both studies used student surveys and collected data at the end of the semester from hundreds of students across multiple courses.
The document discusses using Twitter tweets to assess personality. It proposes predicting a user's personality using their public tweets on Twitter based on the DISC framework of dominance, influence, steadiness and compliance. It finds that analyzing word frequencies in a user's tweets can indicate which DISC categories are most dominant. The study aims to develop a useful profiling tool and discusses how personality assessment could benefit fields like marketing, IT and anthropology. It concludes by noting this is an initial attempt and future work could expand the analysis by including location data and interest parameters.
Models of evalaution in educational technologyalwardi68709
The document summarizes a study that used Kirkpatrick's four-level evaluation model to examine the effectiveness of collaborative online group work. The study compared outcomes for students who completed a course through real-time learning versus online. Results showed that while real-time students reported higher satisfaction in some aspects, the online model successfully supported group learning behaviors and improvements. Reaction levels assessed satisfaction and understanding of group work, finding both cohorts highly satisfied. Evaluation levels found online peer-assessment provided translational learning. Behavior levels showed students benefited from observing group behaviors of others.
This study compared professional behavior scores of occupational therapy students who experienced traditional 1:1 fieldwork supervision versus a collaborative fieldwork model (CMFE). Results showed there was no significant difference in professional behavior scores between the two groups. This supports the CMFE as an effective pedagogy without compromising learning. The CMFE can help address the shortage of fieldwork placements by allowing multiple students to be supervised simultaneously. Adopting this model more widely could help build capacity for training students and meet needs as outlined in the Centennial Vision.
This document summarizes a qualitative multiple case study on the impact of an online teaching professional development program (OTLO) on teachers' face-to-face teaching practices. The study found that OTLO training led teachers to incorporate more technology tools and student-centered practices in their classrooms. Key elements of effective professional development included workshops, online community building, and modeling technology integration. The study concluded that online teaching training should be a standard part of teacher education to help teachers develop 21st century skills.
Rationale for Implementing Corporate Learning Management SystemsDurant Torres
Many large organizations over the past 10 years needed to rapidly train large numbers of staff in different locations and accurately track their skills. This need was driven by the rapid adoption of technology, economic downturns, and organizational restructuring. The document recommends implementing a learning management system (LMS) to address this need. It outlines a process of interviewing clients, defining problems, reviewing literature, analyzing data, and making recommendations. The recommendation includes surveying current training costs, reviewing the return on investment of an LMS, evaluating LMS products, aligning training with organizational goals, and gaining support across all organizational levels.

Colleagues in education are showing interest in using disciplined inquiry as part of performance management in schools. This is driven by Dylan William's view that teachers should continuously improve, bloggers writing about it, and dissatisfaction with current performance review models. However, disciplined inquiry is being adopted without much reference to research on effective performance management processes or the relationship between inquiry and teacher outcomes. While interest in disciplined inquiry is understandable, there is little evidence about what works, for whom, and under what conditions when used for performance management. Educators should examine the research critically before adopting new practices promoted by experts.
Electronic copy of my final paper for my capstone presentation. Below is a copy of the introduction:
Post-observation conferences between administrators and teachers are widely used in K-12 to promote teachers’ reflection on their instruction, and in turn, improvement in instructional effectiveness. Scholars have examined how these conversations derive from pedagogical references, professional development structures, and supervision philosophies (Leonard, 2002; Sparks, 2002; Zepeda, 2017). When examining observation data, the distribution of ratings and feedback to teachers is generally “effective or highly effective” (Weisberg et al., 2009; Cohen and Goldhaber, 2016). However, tension persists in the value of using these for accountability, while also facilitating instructional conversations. In relation to other data metrics used in schools (i.e. CCRPI, student assessment outcomes, etc.), the ratings do not align.
This paper grapples with that tension to examine the following research questions: 1) How does GA state policy dictate instructional conversations during post-observation conferences between administrators and teachers at Decatur High School? 2) How can administrators and teachers at Decatur High School use the Teacher Keys Effectiveness System (TKES) to promote instructional improvement? By reflecting on these questions through state policy and participant survey data, the paper’s outcome is to improve instructional practices in K-12 classrooms at Decatur High School.

This document summarizes the goals and activities of the Carnegie Knowledge Network (CKN). The CKN aims to synthesize existing research on important education topics to make findings more accessible and useful for practitioners. It focuses on areas with significant gaps between research and practice. The CKN engages experts and practitioners to build consensus on technical issues like value-added models. It also informs policy by assembling balanced perspectives. The document provides examples of CKN work summarizing research on value-added modeling approaches and recommendations. It outlines plans to further address evaluating new systems and variation in teacher effectiveness.
This document discusses a study on the moderating role of organizational learning on the outcomes of employee overqualification. The study hypothesized that organizational learning would weaken the negative relationships between overqualification and job satisfaction/affective commitment, and the positive relationship between overqualification and performance. The results found support for organizational learning weakening the negative impact of overqualification on job satisfaction, but did not find support for its impact on affective commitment or performance relationships. The conclusion is that organizational learning can help address some issues from overqualification but its application requires consideration of costs and benefits.
The document discusses the Kirpatrick model of evaluation, which was developed by Donald L. Kirpatrick in 1959. The model provides a systematic approach to measure the effectiveness of training programs using four levels - reaction, learning, behavior, and results. Reaction level measures participant satisfaction. Learning level measures knowledge gained. Behavior level measures skills transferred to the job. Results level measures final business impact. The model helps training professionals understand evaluation steps but can be time-consuming and difficult to directly link all levels, especially higher levels to specific training programs.
This document discusses developing a driver diagram to improve new teacher retention and efficacy. It begins by outlining the improvement journey process and then provides an example driver diagram focused on increasing new teacher efficacy and retention. The driver diagram shows the aim, primary drivers, secondary drivers, and some potential changes. It emphasizes that the driver diagram represents the theory of how to change the system and should be tested and iterated based on learning.

This report summarizes the findings of a 3-year evaluation of Advanced Teaching Roles pilot programs in North Carolina. Survey and interview data showed that the programs improved classroom instruction and provided recognition and support for high-quality teachers. While the programs increased teacher retention and support for beginning teachers, their impact on schoolwide student performance was mixed. The report recommends scaling the programs by providing recurring funding, planning support, and technical assistance to ensure local needs are met and lessons from pilots are applied. Educators expressed overall support for expanding the programs to recognize teachers and improve students' experiences.

Rewriting the Rules: Institutional procedural change based on analysis of student feedback
As part of a large JISC-supported institutional project on assessment and feedback, two different types of institutional data were analysed to identify potential changes to assessment procedures and practice. Comments from institutional student survey data were analysed to identify 10,000 comments relating to assessment. Coding of these comments enabled the project team to identify a series of areas for change which were common across the institution, rather than just using the survey data for course-level changes, which had happened in the past. This led to the production of new institutional assessment procedures designed to improve the student experience. Institutional records about assignment types, which had been produced simply to support course validation, were then analysed to discover the ten most common types of assignment in use across the institution. Detailed guidance on implementing the new procedures was then developed for these ten assignment types, which accounted for two-thirds of the total number of assignments being taken by students. The combination of data from different parts of the institution has enabled change to be made and supported in a way novel to the university.
This document provides an introduction and background to a study analyzing perceptions of learning outcome competencies of college graduates from occupational safety and health programs that are ABET accredited versus non-ABET accredited. The study aims to test the hypothesis that ABET accreditation leads to higher perceptions of learning outcomes. The document outlines the literature review, study methodology using a survey questionnaire, and research questions regarding differences in perceptions of learning outcomes, feedback on programs, advice to students, and professional development.

This presentation will describe a mixed methods, collaborative action research project conducted as part of the ACRL's Assessment in Action (AiA) program to evaluate the impact of face-to-face, online, and blended approaches to information literacy and writing skill development in a large, first-year management course MGMT*1000. While our study did not yield the generalizable data that we had hoped, it did teach us some valuable lessons about the challenges and pitfalls of conducting mixed methods research that will be of use to those interested in gathering evidence to assess the Library's impact on student learning outcomes.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

1. Trades and Industrial Education:
The Relationship between Pre-Service
Teacher Self-Efficacy and Alternatively
Certified Teacher Licensure
John Anthony DePace
Old Dominion University
4. Background
• Smith-Hughes Act of 1917
- Licensure based on trades being taught
• 1936 – Shift in Philosophy
- Advocates of 4-year degree (only a few)
• 1993 – Smith-Hughes Tradition Prevails
- 1936-shift never realized, until…
• 1996 – Oklahoma Public Schools
- Four-year degree now required
5. Theoretical Perspective
• Efficacy in general terms
• Psychological perspective
-alternatively-trained, trades and
industrial licensure candidates, versus
traditionally educated
7. Problem Statement
Demand for T&I program completers is
increasing, but the process for becoming
certified as a T&I teacher is becoming more
difficult.
8. Research Question
Can replicated performance accomplishments
be employed in a modeling environment to
improve measures of teacher self-efficacy in
alternatively certified T&I teachers?
15. • Quantitative
• Quasi-experimental design
• Treatment condition
• Control group
-to see if replicated performance accomplishments can be
employed in a modeling environment to improve measures of
teacher self-efficacy in alternatively certified T&I teachers.
Design
16. Measures
• Tschannen-Moran, Woolfolk, and Hoy’s (2001), teacher self-
efficacy scale (long form) AKA – The TSES
• Based on three areas (3 DVs)
– student engagement (8 questions)
– instructional strategies (8 questions)
– efficacy in classroom management (8 questions)
• Higher means - higher efficacy
• Psychometric values between 1 and 9 (Lickert)
• Ordinal data
17. Participants
•Pre-service trades and industrial teachers
•Alternative track to licensure
•Convenience sample
•“Snowball” sampling strategy
-to elicit a response in a TSES and/or participation in a web-based, computer-
modeled environment as per Bandura (1986).
18. Procedure
•Invitations emailed
• Link to the TSES sent
•Half receive a second email with a link to a
web- based game (Ten 20 minute-sessions)
• All take b-form TSES following potential
treatment
19. Data Analysis
•t-test for dependent variables
•Compare means (SPSS 21)
•Treatment group versus control group
•Before/After potential treatment
-Data will be collected using the Survey
