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.

The paper aims to examine the effects of financial rewards on job commitment among public secondary school teachers in Ogun State, Nigeria. The study was anchored on the interpretative meaning of expectancy theory. The sample consisted of 750 public secondary school teachers drawn from the three senatorial districts of Ogun State. A structured questionnaire was used to elicit information on socio-demographic characteristics and types of financial rewards available to public secondary school teachers in Ogun State. The data collected were analyzed using frequency counts and percentages. The hypothesis stipulated was analyzedusing Pearson product moment. The study found out that prompt payment of teachers’ salaries induce higher commitment to teaching, public school teachers were not satisfied with the government remuneration and there was positive and strong relationship between financial rewards and teachers job commitment (r = 0.74). The study concluded that there is significant relationship between financial rewards and teachers’ job commitment. The authors recommended that the government should provide a special salary structure for government secondary school teachers like their counterparts in other professions since they are disputably the most significant group of professionals for any nation’s economy.

This article aims to characterize the supervisors’ discourse about their TP in the context of initial teacher education of future Secondary School teachers in Cape Verde, trying to understand some of their limitations and/or failures while performing their academical duties and, consequently, their training needs. The methodology involves construction, validation, and application of questionnaires with 10 institutional supervisors, 19 cooperative supervisors and 66 future teachers, and in order to better understand the results interviews with 3 Higher Education supervisors and 3 school supervisors were carried out. The results show that it is urgent to develop supervisors’ competences, in order to promote reflexive and critical teachers, based on thinking and acting, as well as to increase collaboration with their peers, in a reflective scenario of teacher education. This will certainly enhance the quality of their supervisor role, and make them more active in their professional development, profile of trainees and, consequently, education in the archipelago, at large

The pandemic situation rapidly changed the way of education throughout the whole world. Teachers had to adapt to the virtual environment and started to use new media which many of them did not know before. In Slovakia, for some of them, it was a new opportunity how to transform education into the 21st century, others saw it as a challenge for learning to use innovative methods and technologies but many teachers perceived this period as very de-manding. Differences have emerged not only between individual schools but primarily bet-ween teachers themselves. The aim of our research during the closure of the schools was to map the situation regarding teacher education in information and digital literacy and their readiness to use technologies during a pandemic situation. The research was carried out using a questionnaire method with a total of 1670 participants. It was filled in by primary and secondary school teachers, inc-luding all types of schools (public, private, church and special).
