The rapid development of big data technology has attracted a variety of sectors, including tertiary education. The purpose of this paper is to construct a precision teaching mode based on big data technology in order to improve teaching quality and further promote education and teaching reform. The proposed mode, based on the theory of precision…

How do students form perceptions of their professors' political ideology? Previous research has shown that students tend to project their own ideology onto professors whom they like, but the opposite ideology onto professors whom they dislike. We build on this research by running a similar survey at multiple points throughout the same semester to…

Teacher evaluations are routinely conducted across the United States for licensure and professional development supports. However, there is limited research on the interrater reliability of these evaluation assessment systems, despite federal recommendations (Graham et al., 2012). This research explores the systematic approach to interrater…

Empirical evidence on the effectiveness of performance-based rewards for teachers is primarily based on the evaluation of monetary reward schemes. We present results from a randomized evaluation of a teacher and principal incentive programme in India that offered a non-pecuniary recognition reward based on students' test scores on standardized…

This book presents some of the leading technical, professional, and political challenges associated with the development and implementation of teacher evaluation systems, along with characterizing some of these systems in different countries around the world. The book promotes a broader comprehension of the complexities associated with this kind…

Drawing on data collected from multiple sources, this qualitative case study investigates how seven English-as-a-foreign-language (EFL) academics from a university in mainland China perceive and cope with their professional vulnerability within the system of performativity. Three themes were generated from the data: (1) professional vulnerability…

High-performance work systems (HPWS) have been a topic of interest in various industries, but their impact on teachers' productivity in Nigeria is a crucial area of study. The education sector in Nigeria faces numerous challenges, including inadequate resources, large class sizes, and limited professional development opportunities. In addressing…

This quantitative, correlational study aims to determine if a predictive relationship exists between teacher perceptions of Tennessee's teacher evaluation and the linear combination of teacher gender, years of experience, and school-level taught (elementary, middle, high). Although teachers have recognized the current teacher evaluation system,…

When people make decisions, they act in a way that is either automatic ("rote"), or more thoughtful ("reflective"). But do people notice when "others" are behaving in a rote way, and do they care? We examine the detection of rote behavior and its consequences in U.S. adults, focusing specifically on pedagogy and…

This study set out to evaluate the effectiveness of a multi-year new-teacher induction program, which encompassed a first-year mentoring component and four years of continuous professional development to support new teachers during their pre-tenure phase. Using a mixed methods case study approach, the research sought to determine the most…

This study examines the relationship between permissive parenting style and atypical behaviour in preschool children, focusing on the mediating role of generalized anxiety. A community sample of 293 children, aged 3-5 years, were tested with measures assessed by parents and teachers. Regression analyses were employed. The psychometric tests used…

Academic practitioners are judged and evaluated by the different academic institutions and by government regulators associated with these institutions. There are various criteria for evaluating the work of faculty members in the areas of research, teaching, and contribution to the department, the academic institution and the community. In Israel,…

Multitiered systems for supporting students' behavior in schools rely on teachers using generally effective classroom management strategies, such as Tier 1 practices. However, few tools exist to easily assess classwide Tier 1 practices. In this brief report, we describe one potential tool, the Classroom Atmosphere Rating Scale--Brief (CARS-B) and…

Teachers' professional development and educational policies are two phenomena that significantly affect stakeholders in education. Related research has emphasized that these policies are mostly in striking contrast with long-standing perceptions of the status of the profession, values, beliefs, and norms of teachers. This research aims to evaluate…

Despite continuous efforts to develop teacher observation and evaluation frameworks, one-size-fits-all evaluation tools may not be adequate for an instrumental music classroom. Since implementing the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) in 2015, teacher evaluation has shifted from a high-stakes accountability model to models focused on feedback and…
