1. The document presents the institutional profile and line and staff organization of CVCITC. It also discusses the difference between evidence-based instruction and outcomes-based education.
2. Evidence-based instruction focuses on using assessment and research to determine if students have learned required material, while outcomes-based education specifies measurable standards to ensure priority of skills and content.
3. The conceptual framework suggests that evidence-based instruction can help outcomes-based teachers integrate research into their lessons to meet individual student needs through different levels of work. Faculty will conduct classroom-based research to improve as outcomes-based teachers.
The document discusses assessment for learning, which is different from assessment of learning. Assessment for learning helps students learn better by helping students and teachers see learning goals, where students are in relation to goals, and how to improve. Research shows assessment for learning improves learning, especially for students who find learning challenging. The document advocates for applying assessment for learning principles to help students learn now and in the future.

The document discusses the issue of curriculum overload in Kenya's education system. It describes how the previous 8-4-4 system faced criticism for having too many subjects and content, which prompted reforms over three decades to reduce the number of subjects from 14 to 7 at the secondary level. However, the newly introduced Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) system in 2017 also comprises 14 subjects at the junior secondary level for 11-12 year olds, in addition to new forms of assessment that increase the time spent on learning. This heavy curriculum load has negative impacts on student well-being and development by causing high stress, shallow learning, and limiting opportunities for holistic growth.

The document discusses curriculum overload in Kenya's education system. It describes how the previous 8:4:4 system faced criticism for having too many subjects and content. In response, the Ministry of Education reduced the number of subjects from 14 to 7 over three decades. However, the new Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) system introduced in 2017 also has 14 subjects at the junior secondary level for 11-12 year olds. This CBC system, along with increased emphasis on assessments and extracurricular activities, has added to the burden on students and can lead to stress, shallow learning, and lack of holistic development. There is a need to streamline the curriculum to alleviate this pressure on learners.
This study aims to analyze several factors that determine the performance of higher education students. Were taken into account in particular training of teachers, initial and continuous training of professors, psycho - pedagogical but especially training. We wanted to establish correlations between the interests of higher education for training teachers and their involvement in specific activities (continuing education courses, attending conferences and studies in the field of psycho-pedagogical etc.) and how they support their teaching activities and motivating the students. The issue of teacher education is a burning issue because the number of people willing to go through higher education is falling (due to multiple causes: small percentage of baccalaureate graduates, access to the labor market is not conditioned by a university degree, except for top positions, etc.). We cannot say the interests and training of teachers in their field of expertise or of psycho-pedagogy is conducive to attracting students towards higher education, but it is an important and motivating factor for students to take part in teaching or research activities and to be motivated to graduate, as well as to embrace a career in education in the future. Preparing teachers and their interest in continuing training cause changes in the style of organization and development of teaching activity generating motivation for learning among students.
This document provides information about the unit 102084 Inclusive Education: Theory, Policy and Practice offered at Western Sydney University. It includes the unit coordinator's contact details, an overview of the unit learning outcomes and how they relate to the Master of Teaching course, assessment details and submission requirements, and a schedule of topics and resources to be covered during the term. The purpose of the unit is to explore theories, policies and practices around inclusive education and prepare pre-service teachers to meet the diverse needs of all students in secondary schools.
This document discusses the importance of educational planning and provides guidance on how to plan effectively. It outlines a 6-stage process for planning: 1) environmental scanning and data collection, 2) setting objectives, 3) generating and selecting strategies, 4) translating strategies into operational plans, 5) implementing the plan, and 6) evaluating and modifying the plan. The planning process should be systematic, realistic, sustained, and revisited annually to ensure the school can adapt to changes. Effective planning helps set priorities, respond to community needs, improve teaching quality, and provide consistency of purpose and direction.
1. Assessment for learning is different from assessment of learning in that it is used to help students learn better rather than evaluate learning. It helps students and teachers see learning goals, a student's progress, and next steps.
2. Research shows that assessment for learning is one of the most powerful ways to improve learning, especially for students who find learning challenging. It helps students learn better now and achieve more throughout their education.
3. Classroom assessment techniques developed by teachers help make the learning process more methodical and systematic by providing feedback to improve teaching methods.
The document outlines a comprehensive guidance model for K-12 schools with the goal of developing students' life career development. It has both structural and programmatic components. The structural part addresses administration while the programmatic part focuses on guidance curriculum, individual planning, responsive services, and system support. The guidance curriculum is organized around career/educational development, self-knowledge, and knowledge of others. Implementing the model requires buy-in from counselors and staff, developing teacher training, informing students and community, assessing needs and resources, and establishing curriculum and evaluations.

The document discusses the Programmes for Students (PfS) initiative in New Zealand, specifically the Accelerating Literacy Learning (ALL) component. ALL uses school expertise to evaluate literacy practices and closely monitor a 15-week literacy intervention for small groups of students in their first year of school. Key aspects of ALL include using data to inform decisions, selecting priority students based on data, designing iterative interventions grounded in evidence, and fostering teacher inquiry to accelerate student progress. The goal is to shift students to a faster learning trajectory through culturally-responsive, supplementary programs that catch students up to expected literacy levels.

The program emphasizes relationship building during induction week through group activities. A new "Learning to Learn" week will help students adjust to university expectations and their professional identity as social workers. Staff collaborate well and model professional values through emotionally intelligent relationships with each other and external partners.
Topic 10 Issues and Concerns Related to Assessment in MalaysiaYee Bee Choo
The document discusses issues with Malaysia's exam-oriented education system and efforts to introduce alternative assessment approaches. It notes that the current system overly emphasizes exams and rote learning. School-based assessment is being introduced to allow for more holistic and continuous evaluation of students' cognitive, affective, and psychomotor development. This includes assessments of academic performance, physical education, and psychological traits. The goal is to reduce teaching focused solely on exams and enable evaluation of a broader range of skills.
Junior Certificate Business Studies Guidelines for Teacherssiobhanpdst
This document provides guidelines for teachers on implementing the Junior Certificate Business Studies syllabus in Ireland. It outlines the aims of the Junior Certificate program and Business Studies syllabus. It then provides guidance on teaching key topics in a way that develops students' skills and ensures sensitive handling of issues. Specific guidance is given on teaching budgeting, consumer education, record keeping, and other topics in a manner suited to students' ages and abilities. The emphasis is on practical skills development and linking topics to students' lives rather than prescriptive methods.
Training is a component of many teacher induction programs. All too often, inductees have received insufficient professional preparation. With increasing numbers of inductees entering the classroom via alternative routes, many induction programs today are compensating for little or no previous training whatsoever, in effect blurring the line between teacher preparation and induction.
Even if your new hires have had traditional teacher education, they often come unprepared for the first year of teaching, especially in urban classrooms. Sometimes, even an aspiring urban teacher who shines when placed for her eight-week practicum in an "exemplary" school, with excellent teachers and a rich learning environment, may well be hopelessly unprepared to cope with conditions in the mediocre or failing school that is likely to be her first assignment.
The most effective type of training program is that which is part of a teacher's ongoing professional development. Viewed as part of continuing education, content and complexity grow as the inductee matures into a seasoned teacher. Completing your first year as a fully responsible teacher in an urban school has nothing to do with having been "successful" in a college preparation program. Even if you student-taught in an urban school, you were never accountable to the parents and principal for students' learning and behavior.
Training programs for beginning teachers often are determined by courses that the state or district requires (and sometimes finances). Training typically is conducted by a staff developer and a cadre of teacher trainers; central office personnel, site administrators, or consultants also may facilitate workshops. The best training programs are those that include ongoing assessments of the particular needs of individual beginning teachers, and design workshops, seminars, and course work based on these needs.
Training can take many forms, including:
- Observation in other classrooms in same school
- Workshops/seminars
- Conferences
- Observations in other schools
- Reflection on practice/journal writing
- Team teaching (novice + experienced teacher)
- Individual induction plan
- Psychological support
- Teacher-led inquiry/action research
- Case-based discussion
- Electronic networking
You can hold induction activities in the same school building the inductee works in, at a different school site or professional development center, or you can rotate activities among different school sites. Induction activities can be held during the school day, after school, on weekends, or even before school.
Curriculum
Program content often deals with perceived barriers to inductee success. Common curricular topics for induction include addressing inadequate classroom management skills and inability to handle disruptive students.

Completing your first year as a fully responsible teacher in an urban school has nothing to do with having been "successful" in a college preparation program. Even if you student-taught in an urban school, you were never accountable to the parents and principal for students' learning and behavior.
Training programs for beginning teachers often are determined by courses that the state or district requires (and sometimes finances). Training typically is conducted by a staff developer and a cadre of teacher trainers; central office personnel, site administrators, or consultants also may facilitate workshops. The best training programs are those that include ongoing assessments of the particular needs of individual beginning teachers, and design workshops, seminars, and course work based on these needs.
Training can take many forms, including:
- Observation in other classrooms in same school
- Workshops/seminars
- Conferences
- Observations in other schools
- Reflection on practice/journal writing
- Team teaching (novice + experienced teacher)
- Individual induction plan
- Psychological support
- Teacher-led inquiry/action research
- Case-based discussion
- Electronic networking
You can hold induction activities in the same school building the inductee works in, at a different school site or professional development center, or you can rotate activities among different school sites. Induction activities can be held during the school day, after school, on weekends, or even before school.
Curriculum
Program content often deals with perceived barriers to inductee success. Common curricular topics for induction include addressing inadequate classroom management skills and inability to handle disruptive students.

SOME DEFINITIONS
"Student retention" refers to the ability of an educational institution to attract and retain
students throughout their period of study, with the aim of enabling them to graduate
successfully.
"Progression" (throughput) relates to the successful completion of a particular level or phase
of education, such as completing a study year or program and then moving on to a higher level
or the next phase.
Coöperation between academic staff, management en support.
7. 1. The study is not what I expected (too much theory, distance learning doesn't suit me, less
student contact, too difficult, workload per course too high).
2. After studying a few courses, I need a break (many students reported they took a break and
never returned).
3. My home and/or work situation has changed and I no longer have time for the study (e.g., job
changes/family composition changes, relocation, caregiving, health reasons).
pagina 7
Faculty of Psychology – May 2024
REASONS FOR (TEMPORARY) DISCONTINUATION OF STUDY (1)
8. 4. Distance learning requires (too much) self-discipline. Due to the limited amount of guidance
and little contact with teachers and fellow students, it's difficult to find sufficient motivation.
5. I know enough about psychology; I don't need more.
6. I prefer another education because the career prospects in Mental Health Care in the
Netherlands are unclear.

Faculty of Psychology – May 2024
REASONS FOR (TEMPORARY) DISCONTINUATION OF STUDY (2)
9. 1. Both bachelor and master with fixed and variable courses
(fixed course in 11 weeks, exam in week 12)
2. Increase of study advisors
3. Increase of online structured course elements (online
classes, self tests, weekly summary, feedback moments,
exam training)
4. Increase of tutors capacity
5. Emphasis on course enrollment
NEW EDUCATIONAL MODEL 2014

12. 1. In the bachelor's program, fixed courses, especially for a student's initial purchase,
show higher course success rates compared to variable courses. Fixed courses are
also completed significantly faster.
2. Passing the first course strongly determines whether or not a subsequent purchase is
made. If a student passes the first course, 71% make another purchase. However, if
they fail the first course, only 22% make another purchase.
3. In the master's program, dropout during the thesis phase is particularly concerning.
This aspect is currently being addressed in a project, which seeks to identify the main
causes of dropout and implement appropriate interventions.
ECO’S ANALYSIS OF ANNUAL DATA - 2023
pagina 12
Faculty of Psychology – May 2024
13. 1. The tutor pool is creating a new plan to reduce dropout rates in terms of guidance
(individual/group) and scheduling (fixed/variable), to determine the most effective
strategy during the course.
2. Study advisors have defined target groups to monitor more specific. They will use
intelligent agents within an overall students educational portal to engage students in
the program.
3. In collaboration with ECO, research has begun into dropouts in the master's thesis
phase. Why do students drop out while they have started the thesis process? Results
are expected by the end of 2024.
FACULTY FOCUS 2024

14. 1. Improved accessibility on student data – necessary for monitoring student progress in
terms of communication and purchase behavior.
2. Mapping the study intentions and motivation of the students who enroll. Based on
this research, the maximum percentage of transition can be calculated. Then, we can
determine an acceptable percentage of transition to be included in subsequent
projects and research.
3. Updating Study Coach module (study skills modules, use of AI in studies and student
well-being). Collect data on the use of Study Coach and its impact on academic
success.
MARKETING AND RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT
pagina 14
Faculty of Psychology – May 2024
15. Employ a tutor pool to support teachers in student engagement and monitoring within courses,
particularly in courses with large student numbers.
Optimizing intelligent agent function in Brightspace or other learning systems.
Provide example schedules for all courses, indicate pass rates, suggest most logical follow-up courses,
alert students to enroll in time, refer to website Wellbeing and Study coach.
Invest in an integrated (monitoring) tool, offering study paths, study plans, annual schedules, and prompts
for timely registration (exam, follow-up course).
Work throughout the program with faculty study advisors who are available to students by phone, video
call or face-to-face. Highlight engagement activities and the program's structure.
