Application of an innovative alignment optimisation method to a cross-cultural mean comparison of teacher self-efficacy: A cross-country study
2021
Teacher self-efficacy is a crucial personal characteristic that is important not only for teachers’ well-being but also for the overall teaching and learning. However, the difficulty to ascertain scalar invariance in the measurement of the construct has beset previous attempts of cross-cultural comparisons. This study implements an alignment optimisation method to compare and rank mean teacher self-efficacy of over 150,000 teachers across 48 countries and economies that participated in the Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS) that was conducted 2018. The findings show that Columbia, Portugal, United Arab Emirates, Hungary, and South Africa have teachers with the highest mean s…
Effects of school climate and teacher self-efficacy on job satisfaction of mostly STEM teachers: a structural multigroup invariance approach
2020
Abstract Background Identification and retention of effective teachers in STEM education play cardinal roles in teacher recruitment exercises worldwide. Studies on factors that characterize effective teachers have therefore gained popularity in recent times. Teacher self-efficacy, job satisfaction and school climate are among other factors that have attracted global attention. Thus, proper understanding of the relations between these factors is equally important. The purpose of this study is to validate and cross-validate a model of direct/indirect effects of school climate and teacher self-efficacy on job satisfaction. Results The data used for the current study are extracted from a public…
Investigating Some Construct Validity Threats to TALIS 2018 Teacher Job Satisfaction Scale: Implications for Social Science Researchers and Practitio…
2020
The credibility of findings ensuing from cross-sectional survey research depends largely on the validity and reliability of the research instruments. Critical attention to the quality of such instruments will ensure logical and valid results. The purpose of this article is to provide evidence for two methodological issues observed that are potential threats to construct validity of widely used Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS) 2018 data on teacher job satisfaction scale (TJSS). The first issue concerns reverse recoding of some items necessary to obtain a coherence covariance between these items and other items on the same subscale. The second issue concerns the addition of …
Skolotāju apmierinātība ar darbu
2020
Maģistra darba mērķis ir izpētīt Latvijas pamatizglītībā strādājošo skolotāju apmierinātību ar savu darbu. Teorētiskā daļa sastāv no 2 nodaļām. Pirmajā nodaļā analizēts un aplūkots apmierinātības ar darbu skaidrojums dažādu autoru skatījumā. Otrajā nodaļā tika aplūkota skolotāju apmierinātība ar darbu, izglītības iestādes vadītāja loma tajā, kā arī darba vides ietekmējošie faktori skolotāju apmierinātību ar darbu. Empīriska daļa sastāv no 1 nodaļas ar 5 apakšnodaļām. Visās apakšnodaļās tiek analizēti dati OECD TALIS 2013 un TALIS 2018 pētījumu dati par Latvijas skolotāju apmierinātību ar darbu. Pētīts, kā apmierinātība ar darbu saistīta ar skolotāju vecumu, skolas tipu un skolas atrašanās v…
