Dual Language Instruction: Teaching Civics in Three Public Primary Schools in Tanzania

It is a widely shared hypothesis in Tanzania among educators and the general public that low academic achievement scores are typically due to pupils’ deficiencies in English comprehension. Although in most public primary schools kiSwahili is the language of instruction, while a select few use English, there is evidence showing that even where monolingual instruction is on offer in Tanzania, lessons are held most of the time in both languages concurrently. Much of the research into dual language instruction is driven by the question of whether using English as the language of instruction is superior to using another language, leaving open the question of whether learning in both kiSwahili and English concurrently delivers a better pedagogical result than classroom usage of either language in isolation from the other. In this study, experimenting with the use of Dual Language Instruction (DLI) in three public primary schools indicates that when students are taught in two languages they perform better on tests than those who receive the same lesson content through monolingual instruction.

Development and Validation Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) Instrument for Teacher Mathematics in Elementary School

Measurement of teacher competence through TPACK is very important to do. However, the majority of the instruments used to measure TPACK for elementary school teachers are not yet in line with the needs of the 21st Century. This study aims to develop a TPACK instrument for elementary school teachers in a valid and reliable Mathematic lesson. This study uses the quantitative research. The study sample involved 1490 teacher in elementary school, grade IV, V, and VI teachers from state and private elementary schools with A level of accreditation, spread across fourteen sub-districts in the Kabupaten Bogor. Data analysis techniques use Winsteps 4.0.1. So that, overall, this instrument can be used to measure TPACK of elementary school teachers in the content of mathematics lessons. This instrument can be used to map teacher competencies based on TPACK values. Furthermore, if there are some weaknesses in the 7 aspects of the TPACK, policy makers can determine the follow-up that needs to be determined to further improve the competence of elementary school teachers. The dimensions that stand out in this research are lesson content, teaching approach, technology, pedagogy, content, and mathematics.

Students’ perceptions of visibility in physical education

The purpose of this study is to explore students’ perceptions of visibility in physical education (PE) using a single cumulative case study approach. Data were generated from the descriptive field notes of seven participant observations ( n = 77), individual semi-structured interviews ( n = 13) and five focus group interviews ( n = 18) with ninth-grade students (ages 14–15 years) from three classes in a public lower secondary school in Norway. The findings show that students perceive visibility differently depending on the context; some students like being visible in PE, while others dread it. Perceptions change rapidly and are situation-specific, influenced by the lesson content, the way the teacher facilitates the lessons, self-perception shaped by past experiences, the presence, actions, and attitudes of fellow students, body pressure and societal body ideals. The findings actualise the relevance of the transaction model of stress and coping ( Lazarus and Folkman, 1984 ) in determining when visibility in PE is and is not perceived as stressful. Consequently, the organization of the PE environment benefits from these insights.

ANALYSING LESSON-BASED INTERVIEWS USING THE LESSON ACTIVITIES MAP (LAMAP) AS A VISUAL TOOL

During training as generalists, some teachers find it complex and challenging to teach songs and lead class singing. The Song Leading research project longitudinally examines case studies of 16 trainees to explore how they acquire and develop the knowledge and skills to conduct a class singing lesson. The data corpus consists of video-recorded lessons, audio-recorded lesson-based interviews and personalised open-ended questionnaires. In this paper some phases of the interview analysis are presented. As each interview is conducted while watching the video-recorded lesson, its analysis should not be separated from the lesson content. The central question guiding this analysis is: How can the analysis of a lesson-based interview be combined with the video analysis of the lesson itself? We present a visual system to combine the analysis of interviews and videos. This system involves the use of the Lesson Activities Map (LAMap) – the transcript of the class singing lesson – based on the methodology developed in the Song Leading project. During the thematic analysis of the interviews, the LAMap is a visual tool that allows the researchers to systematically describe the lesson moments that were the starting points of the teachers' reflections. In addition, LAMap is a visual tool for collecting initial codes and identifying relationships between potential interview themes. The implications of the use of a visualisation system for lesson-based interview analysis are an added value for the coherence of case study interpretation. The paper contributes to research in education by providing concrete examples of how to make a qualitative analysis process explicit.
