National Welfare

It is Vitally important that teachers of modern foreign languages be adequately prepared for a task which more and more Americans are declaring essential to the national welfare. Though a majority of the language teachers in our schools are well trained, many have been poorly or inadequately prepared, often through no fault of their own. The undersigned therefore present this statement of what they consider the minimal, good, and superior qualifications of a secondary school teacher of a modern foreign language.

Amount Of Knowledge

The framework of sustainable development encompasses a series of behaviours which include the proper management of the waste we produce. This concept should be addressed in classrooms to ensure proper waste management. The amount of knowledge of the teachers and the inclusion of these concepts in the education curricula are essential factors when providing proper teaching about waste and waste management. The general objective was to analyse the amount of knowledge about waste of teachers in training within the framework of sustainable development. The sample consisted of 72 secondary school teachers in training belonging to three scientific-technological areas (Physics & Chemistry, Biology & Geology, and Technology). The methodology used was exploratory and quantitative. As a measuring instrument, a questionnaire was elaborated based on the educational curricula and based on previous research, made up of five categories (Waste and Society, Regulations, Awareness, Technological Development, and Typology). The results of the study show that teachers in training lack knowledge regarding waste. Within teacher education programs, it is, therefore, necessary to address issues of sustainability including waste in order to prepare teachers that are competent and willing to teach such important topics.

Teaching Management

In this paper, the Support Vector Machine (SVM) theory is applied to secondary school teachers evaluation systems. And the evaluation attributes of secondary school teachers are set in accordance with certain requirements. Through the use of sample data on the teacher evaluation system for a certain amount of training, we get a trained model, then evaluate and analyze the teachers data to be measured. This approach can make secondary school teachers assessment more accurate and reasonable, greatly reduce the workload of teaching management, and reduce the number of artificially errors in the evaluation process.

Primary And Secondary School

This study investigated the gap between primary and secondary school teachers’ followership styles at a private Islamic school in Malaysia. Questionnaire surveys were completed by 92 teachers from both respective schools. The findings of this research show that all of Kelley’s Followership Styles (exemplary, alienated, pragmatist, conformist and passive) were represented in the followership styles of primary and secondary school teachers at AIS. The most common followership style is the exemplary style which was practiced by 39 (42.3%) of the teachers. Furthermore, the findings show that there was a significant difference in followership styles between the male primary and secondary school teachers of AIS. However, there was no significant difference in followership styles between the female primary and secondary school teachers of AIS. In general, there was no significant difference of followership styles between both schools. Based on the findings of this study, it is recommended that the exemplary followership style be adopted, since it is especially suited to helping followers achieve exemplary levels that can help promote higher standards of organizational performance. Suggestions concerning further research on the subject of followership are also presented.   Abstrak:     Tujuan kajian kuantitatif ini adalah untuk menyiasat jurang antara guru sekolah rendah dan sekolah menengah dalam gaya kepengikutan di sebuah sekolah swasta Islam di Malaysia. Soal selidik telah dijawab oleh 92 orang guru dari kedua-dua peringkat sekolah. Dapatan kajian ini menunjukkan bahawa semua gaya kepengikutan Kelley (teladan, terasing, pragmatis, konformis dan pasif) diwakili dalam gaya kepengikutan guru-guru sekolah rendah dan menengah di AIS. Gaya kepengikutan yang paling biasa adalah gaya teladan yang telah diamalkan oleh 39 orang guru (42.3%). Selain itu, dapatan kajian menunjukkan bahawa wujud perbezaan yang signifikan dalam gaya kepengikutan antara guru lelaki sekolah rendah dan guru lelaki sekolah menengah AIS. Walau bagaimanapun, adalah tiada perbezaan yang signifikan dalam gaya kepengikutan antara guru perempuan sekolah rendah dan guru perempuan sekolah menengah AIS. Secara umum, tiada perbezaan yang signifikan dalam gaya kepengikutan antara kedua-dua buah sekolah rendah dan menengah. Berdasarkan dapatan kajian ini, adalah disyorkan supaya gaya kepengikutan teladan diterima pakai, kerana ia adalah sangat sesuai untuk membantu pengikut-pengikut mencapai tahap teladan yang membantu meningkatkan tahap prestasi organisasi. Cadangan berkaitan penyelidikan lanjutan pada subjek kepengikutan juga turut dipersembahkan.
