The Relationship

This article discuss the algebra teaching knowledge of preservice elementary mathematics teachers in the context of CK and PCK as well as the relationship between them. The study was conducted with 101 preservice teachers sampled from a state university in Turkey. Rasch analysis was used to interpret the data. The results revealed that preservice teachers performed at mid-level for both CK and PCK tests. It was also found that there was significant correlation between the CK and PCK test scores. Weaknesses of the preservice teachers in terms of knowledge of the learner component of PCK, in comparison with presentation of content, were identified.

The Relationship

This study investigates the relationship between measures of mathematics teacher skill and student achievement in California high schools. Test scores are analyzed in relation to teacher experience and education and student demographics. The results are consistent with the hypotheses that there is a shortage of qualified mathematics teachers in California and that this shortage is associated with low student scores in mathematics. After controlling for poverty, teacher experience and preparation significantly predict test scores. Short-term strategies to increase the supply of qualified mathematics teachers could include staff development, and recruitment incentives. A long-term strategy addressing root causes of the shortage requires more emphasis on mathematics in high school and undergraduate programs.

The Relationship

The aim was to determine the relationship between preservice mathematics teachers' mathematics anxiety and their learning styles. The Mathematics Anxiety Scale (MAS; Erktin, Dönmez, & Özel, 2006) was used to determine teacher trainees' mathematics anxiety, while the Marmara Learning Styles Scale (Otrar, 2006) was administered to determine their learning styles. The correlation coefficients indicate significant relationships between preservice teachers' mathematics anxiety levels and their learning styles.

Em relação aos saberes e motivações pertinentes às vivências a partir da entrada no curso, destacaram-se os vínculos com os pares, professores e contato com a escola. Conclusão: os saberes são constituídos ainda na vida pregressa do potencial professor, com indicativos de motivação à docência, sendo importante para ampliação de saberes docentes, os vínculos estabelecidos a partir da entrada na licenciatura em Educação Física, relacionados ao apoio pessoal e acadêmico entre pares, à relação de afinidade com disciplinas e professores, além das experiências na escola.ABSTRACT. Knowledge that motivate in initial training in physical education. Objective: to investigate the knowledge and motivations for the initial formation of undergraduate Physical Education students, based on previous experiences and the beginning of the course.  Methods: the research was characterized as descriptive with a qualitative approach and transversal design. Participated 16 students of the 1st year of Physical Education Degree course of the State University of Western Paraná. To obtain the data, the semi-structured interview with results treated by the content analysis technique was used as instrument.  Results: the results related to the knowledge and motivations prior to entering the course were mainly the presence of having a teacher in the family, the taste for the sport, the want to be a teacher, the taste for teaching, the Physical Education teacher of the school as a for example, having a higher education diploma and sports experience. Regarding the knowledge and motivations pertinent to the experiences from the entrance to the course, the most important were the links with the peers, teachers and contact with the school. Conclusion: the knowledge is still constituted in the previous life of the potential teacher, with indicatives of motivation to teaching, being important for the expansion of teaching knowledge, the links established from the entrance in the degree in Physical Education, related to personal and academic support between peers, the relationship of affinity with disciplines and teachers, as well as experiences in school.

Out-of-class learning environments are important learning environments because they improve students’ mental and physical health as well as providing them with cognitive, affective, and psychomotor skills. However, it is necessary to make a plan, implement and evaluate the teaching processes appropriately to efficient benefit from out-of-class teaching environments. The present study aimed to determine preservice teachers’ views regarding out-of-class teaching processes. The study utilized the case study design, a qualitative research approach, to make an in-depth analysis of preservice teachers’ views. 58 preservice teachers from the educational faculty of a state university in Turkey were the participants of the study. Data were collected using a semi-structured interview form developed by the researcher of the present study. For the analysis of data obtained, content analysis was carried out using NVivo9 software, and themes and codes were determined. Findings were presented with frequencies, percentages, excerpts of preservice teachers’ views, and models that indicate the relationship between themes and codes. Findings revealed six different themes for the preservice teachers’ views: out-of-class learning places; advantages of out-of-class teaching; limitations of out-of-class teaching; planning of out-of-class teaching; implementation of out-of-class teaching; and assessment of out-of-class teaching. The study findings were discussed in line with the related literature and suggestions were made regarding the findings.

Summary: The Gudjonsson Compliance Scale (GCS), the COPE Scale, and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale were administered to 212 men and 212 women. Multiple regression of the test scores showed that low self-esteem and denial coping were the best predictors of compliance in both men and women. Significant sex differences emerged on all three scales, with women having lower self-esteem than men, being more compliant, and using different coping strategies when confronted with a stressful situation. The sex difference in compliance was mediated by differences in self-esteem between men and women.

This research the impact of competitive quasi market on service delivery in Benue State University, Makurdi Nigeria. Both primary and secondary source of data and information were used for the study and questionnaire was used to extract information from the purposively selected respondents. The population for this study is one hundred and seventy three (173) administrative staff of Benue State University selected at random. The statistical tools employed was the classical ordinary least square (OLS) and the probability value of the estimates was used to tests hypotheses of the study. The result of the study indicates that a positive relationship exist between Competitive quasi marketing in Benue State University, Makurdi Nigeria (CQM) and Transparency in the service delivery (TRSP) and the relationship is statistically significant (p<0.05). Competitive quasi marketing (CQM) has a negative effect on Observe Competence in Benue State University, Makurdi Nigeria (OBCP) and the relationship is not statistically significant (p>0.05). Competitive quasi marketing (CQM) has a positive effect on Innovation in Benue State University, Makurdi Nigeria (INVO) and the relationship is statistically significant (p<0.05) and in line with a priori expectation. This means that a unit increases in Competitive quasi marketing (CQM) will result to a corresponding increase in innovation in Benue State University, Makurdi Nigeria (INVO) by a margin of 22.5%. It was concluded that government monopoly in the provision of certain types of services has greatly affected the quality of service experience in the institution. It was recommended among others that the stakeholders in the market has to be transparent so that the system will be productive to serve the society effectively
