3 rd ISNITE 2015 International Symposium’ ‘New Issues on Teacher Education’ ‘September 11-13, 2015, University of Thessaly, Volos-Greece 88 The Importance of Teachers’ Mastery Goal Orientation and Autonomous Motivations for Their Professional Development and Educational Innovation Georgios Gorozidis gorozidis@pe.uth.gr Athanasios G. Papaioannou Theoretical and empirical evidence suggests that the quality of teacher motivation is essential for in-service training success and the implementation process of innovative teaching practices. Motivational theories of Self-determination and Achievement goals may provide a useful framework to optimally design professional training aimed at promoting teacher learning and innovative curricula. This approach underlines the importance of teacher motivation quality for the educational procedure. Moreover it focuses on the formation of the appropriate educational environment for the cultivation of teachers’ dispositional mastery goal orientation (i.e., the pursuit of personal improvement) and the enhancement of their autonomous motivations (i.e., intrinsic & identified regulations) in work. According to theory and findings of our studies which are presented here (e.g., Gorozidis & Papaioannou 2011, Teachers’ self-efficacy, achievement goals, attitudes and intentions to implement the new Greek physical education curriculum, European Physical Education Review, 17, 231-253; Gorozidis & Papaioannou 2014, Teachers' motivation to participate in training and to implement innovations, Teaching and Teacher Education, 39, 1-11; Papaioannou & Christodoulidis, 2007, A measure of teachers’ achievement goals, Educational Psychology, 27, 349-361), this can be achieved if the school/work climate encourages teacher personal development and fulfills their innate psychological needs for autonomy, competence and relatedness. This educational environment must (a) put emphasis on personal improvement, effort, and persistence with revised teaching practices, (b) deliver opportunities for experimentation and sustained collaboration with colleagues (e.g., teacher networks), officials and experts (e.g., guidance, support, non-threatening feedback), (c) provide teachers the choice to actively shape reforms, and to customize their training programs. The practices outlined here are consistent with scholars’ suggestions for effective teacher professional development, but they are opposite to most current teacher assessment practices and the top-down format of one-shot teacher training. Policy makers usually promote educational innovations in a controlling manner, by providing external incentives and coercion as the only motivators to get teachers engaged in professional retraining and the implementation of new practices. In addition, existing accountability systems induce social comparison between teachers promoting their performance goal orientations. However, these conditions have the characteristics that produce superficial and temporary educational outcomes through teacher controlled motivation, which has no positive impact on teachers’ motivation to get involved with training and innovative pedagogies while decreasing teachers’ quality of motivation. On the other hand, underestimation of postgraduate qualifications and in- service education for teachers’ career in education might undermine teachers’ mastery goal adoption and implementation of innovations in education.

Voudoukis Though courses on electronic engineering usually aim at students and future engineers developing the necessary theoretical and technical background to face the challenges of an ever changing profession, for future educators it is equally important the various electronic engineering topics to be presented in a generalized, unified and well-structured manner that will enable students to create the appropriate background for their future teaching assignments. A difficult topic in that respect is electronic amplifiers which lie at the core of most analog electronics courses and, indeed, most electronic engineering syllabi. Ιt has been observed that the diversity in both, the amplifier types and the modeling and calculation processes makes it difficult for students to develop a general and unified view of the subject. More specifically, it has been noticed that student have difficulties in comprehending the common background of the various amplifier types which, in turn, could be an obstacle in their future efforts to convert their knowledge to a viable and efficient teaching practice. Taking the above observation into account, the course in Electronics offered at the Electronic Engineering Education major of the School of Pedagogical and Technological Education (ASPETE, Athens, Greece) has been partly re-oriented in that, apart from studying basic aspects of specific amplifiers (such as transistor or operational amplifiers), it gives emphasis to the presentation of amplifiers in a general and unified manner. The course follows an induction-production approach. The students are first introduced to basic amplifier circuits (e.g. transistor-based or operational amplifiers) before they encounter a more general presentation of the various amplifier types including their modeling by means of common Thevenin/Norton equivalent circuits and low-pass and high-pass filters. The next step is the application of the general theory to specific amplifier circuits, including the ones presented during the starting lectures of the course. Depending on the time available and the overall performance of the class, the study may conclude with more advanced topics such as the frequency response of amplifiers, active filters etc. An additional advantage of this approach is its applicability to audiences with diverse mathematical and/or technical background. In an attempt to evaluate the effect of the applied approach (and, at the same time, interconnect the technological and the pedagogical aspect of the presented material) the students are asked to describe the content of a thirty (30)-hour module on amplifiers, indicating the exact topics to be examined in relation with the required teaching time and literature (specific chapters from up to four (4) books available in the School’s library). The students are also asked to fill in a brief questionnaire regarding the above assignment. Due to the large size of the class and the fact that the described approach was applied for the first time, it was decided that, at least at this stage, it should be combined with rather traditional modes of teaching. However, the plan is the amplifier module to be delivered through more modern teaching practices, such as project-oriented learning or “think-pair-share” activities. A simple idea (to encourage students’ active participation) could be the students to start outlining the amplifier module just after introductory classes and also propose simple lab exercises that could support the module’s lectures.

The following conditions are affecting the human character. Modern man is distinguished by intense selfish disposition, with strong introversion, compelling him to more and more entrenched in his personal entourage. On the other hand, it is difficult to articulate authentic personal reason. If education is able to operate intervention in the course of society, reversing undesirable behavior, then we need teaching models that enhance the mood for contact and communication, cooperativeness and solidarity, autonomy and action. Such a model is collaborative, based on the dynamics of teamwork and harmonious cooperation instructor and trainees, while respecting student relationships and maximize the learning potential of the student. In this paper we will focus attention on how the teaching in working groups can be an important teaching proposal and contribute to the fuller elaboration of the curriculum. Teamwork as a teaching method, has experienced recent special development because of the growing influence that the constructive and sociocultural approaches to teaching and learning. The pedagogical literature suggests the composition of groups consisting of three members or four members as well as the network of relationships formed between three or four people is more complex and accelerates deeper treatment of each subject. In this context we will concentrate our attention on techniques by which the teacher can use to improve team cohesion. In particular we will look with what methods can ensure communication between team members and there is a positive interdependence between the members through the fair sharing of the work and the commitment of individual and collective responsibility. Finally, we highlight how important the trainer to treat each group as unique, with ongoing process, understand the contexts in which it operates and exploits emerging every time roles for the benefit of the team, aware of his personal approach what it entails. Looking forward, therefore, to form a group of school work as the most modern, creative and effective form of school work, attempting to investigate the group dynamics.

Definitely this phrase is used to define as children who lack the basic necessities of life, who have been denied the basic and universal rights of children, the opportunity to grow normally at his/her own natural rate, who are subject to detrimental environmental stresses of any kind and handicapped or disabled because of certain conditions of exogenous origin and lastly, who are at risk of future psycho-educational problems. The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of compensation program which was held as a University–Sector Cooperation Project “Be My Hope Project” between Uludag University, Faculty of Education and Bursa Provincial Security Directorate’s Child Branch on disadvantaged children’s bullying behaviors. Prevention studies and programs aim to prevent the occurrence of situations that can place the student at risk in the future. Compensation studies require a sophisticated and comprehensive study. Compensation studies provide children who encounter risk factor and are affected negatively tend to have a deviant behavior, exhibit social disharmony, and in order to help him overcome this disharmony social organization and efforts are needed. Aim of the Be My Hope Project is to help disadvantaged children, who are unable to benefit from the same opportunities with their peers due to unfavorable conditions of living environment, to participate in academic and social activities with teacher candidates at the Faculty of Education, to turn teacher candidates into role models and to reintroduce these students to society as self-respecting, considerate, happy, active and productive individuals. Within the scope of this Project study times, social activities and sport activities are held for their academic developments by teacher candidates and disadvantaged children in recreational and sports facilities provided by the Osmangazi Youth Centre. In line with this objective Colorado School Climate Survey, which was developed by Garrity et al., (2000) was used. The questionnaire was designed to measure several aspects of bullying. Several subscales were used in the questionnaire. The subjects of this study are 40 disadvantaged children (35 boys and 5 girls) who were selected after organizing interviews with counselors and directors of four schools decided by Bursa Provincial Security Directorate’s Child Branch. The analysis of this study is still underway.

Raising qualified individuals in society can take place with education provided in high quality educational institutions. An individual’s professional developments have a great importance in providing personality and social adaptation. Some factors such as teacher’s candidates’ suitability, their traits, why they choose their professions play a major role in their professions’ achievement. The purpose of this work is to search the relationship between Turkish teacher candidates’ satisfaction with their professions and their personality. For this purposes, Holland’s theory of careers theoretically underlines this work. According to Holland’s theory, there are six personality types. These are Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, and Conventional. There are also six types of work environments in the same names. This study is planned to carry out with 340 Turkish teacher candidates studying in three universities as teaching departments which are situated in Turkey’s east and west and are required answers to following questions: How is the personality profile of students studying in Turkish teaching department? Is there a relationship between Turkish teacher candidates’ satisfaction with their professions and their personality? If so, which personality type is closely related to it? How is the relationship among the personality types of Turkish teacher candidates who are studying in the western and eastern regions of Turkey? This research planned as a descriptive research, validity and reliability studies were made as data collection tools by Perkmen and Şahin. The codes career test consisting of 30 items in 5 point Likert scale is applied to the teacher candidates and it is analyzed using statistical methods by researchers. It is expected to use these results of relationship between acquisition of the profession and personality relations in the relevant works while teacher training programs are preparing.

Teachers also shape such ethical perceptions of their students as good, bad, right and wrong. With their ethical behaviors, teachers serve as a role-model to their students. The members of this profession who shape the future generations do not have a chance to make any mistakes. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the opinions of pre-service teachers on the ethical principles of teaching as a profession. Qualitative research method was used in the study and students’ opinions were collected using semi-structured interview forms. Using convenience sampling, a purposive sampling method, 24 senior students at Bartın University Faculty of Education were interviewed. Focus group meetings were made with 6 students from each primary education, social studies, science teaching and religious culture and ethics teaching departments.

In this research, literature review, document analysis and content analysis have been used. Literature review has been done to investigate the list of published resources on searching topic (Karasar, 1999: 189). Document analysis includes analysis of written materials that include information about fact or facts that are going to be examined (Yıldırım, 2011: 187). Karasar calls “document scanning” the method that he expresses as data collecting technique and he states that this technique is defined as investigating systematically as data source of current records or documents by Best (Karasar, 1999: 183). In qualitative research, document analysis can be a data collecting method alone, but it can also be used together with other data collecting methods (Yıldırım, 2011: 187). In content analysis, datum summarized and interpreted by descriptive analysis are subject to a deeper process and in this way datum are tried to be defined, possible truths hidden in datum are tried to be discovered (Yıldırım, 2011: 227). Some aspects in documents, philosophies, language, expression, etc. can be understood with content analysis according to deepness and some criterions (Karasar, 1999: 184). In research firstly with literature review documents about the topic were reached and then they were analyzed with document analysis and content analysis. This presentation is limited to Ibn Khaldun’s only opinions about teaching profession and individual need for education and teacher, not his all opinions about education. Ibn Khaldun (1332-1406) who was born in 1332 in Tunisia, lived in the second half of XIV century that coincided with the last period of the Middle Ages in which The Renaissance started to spread in Europe and beginning of XV century (Sâtî el-Husrî, 2001: 59). Ibn Khaldun is considered and recognized not only as the pioneer of sociology that he called as “İlm-i Tabiat-i Umrâni”, but also as a history philosopher. According to Ibn Khaldun, human consisting of flesh and soul differing from other living creatures with mind (ability to think) and predominates. He defines the mind as an ability that separates human from animals and makes him/her superior, a power given to human beings to make a living and a tool that reaches science and arts (Ibn Khaldun, no date:42, 490, 517). However, human’s power of mind/consciousness or thought cannot be developed automatically; there is a need for education to develop that power. According to Ibn Khaldun, as food and nutrition develop the body, education develops and matures human soul and mind. People, who have tendency both goodness and badness, can separate good from bad, ugly and disordered thanks to education and so they become different from wild animals (Ibn Khaldun, trans. Uludağ, 2004). If people are informed and trained about what ugly and disordered things are, how to distinguish them from good things and if people repeat good ones, they can produce good and nice things by becoming different from animals at the end of this training (Âşık Ev, 2012). Khaldun emphasizes on importance of education at early ages. For him, education, which is given at early ages, is more effective and builds a tough basis for the next (Ibn Khaldun, trans. Ugan, 1989). Ibn Khaldun indicates that people need religion’s education especially in development of social and ethical motives. According to Ibn Khaldun, teacher is an obligation as education is for people. He lines 3 rd ISNITE 2015 International Symposium’ ‘New Issues on Teacher Education’ ‘September 11-13, 2015, University of Thessaly, Volos-Greece 95 up the reasons that people need teacher like this: The first reason is people’s incentive of curiosity. Second is that all skills are about body and so they need education of teacher. Ability becomes skill as using it; unused, undeveloped abilities weakened and rusted. When abilities become skills, a teacher’s education is needed. Third reason is that human being is social being. A teacher’s help and guidance are necessaries for a social being, human, to both to continue life and to learn information and skill. Another reason is a need for a person to whom people can ask and learn what they do not know. Ibn Khaldun, taking courses from a great number of teachers is one of the factors that determine student success in education.
