However, there is little evidence of which TL practices contribute to such a holistic change in school culture; that is, the learning organization (LO) culture stimulating teachers' individual and collective professional learning orientations in tandem. The purpose of this paper is twofold. The first is to identify distinct profiles of LO culture in schools, based on teachers’ professional learning orientations. The second is to explore how a principal’s TL practices are related to teachers’ endorsement of these LO profiles. Data were drawn from 1105 teachers and 58 principals in 69 K-12 schools in Turkey. Multilevel latent profile analysis was used to uncover latent LO profiles with similar professi...

Deze kwantitatieve studie onderzocht in welke mate toekomstige leraren door hun lerarenopleiding worden voorbereid op deze competenties. Hiertoe zijn 931 laatstejaarsstudenten uit 20 instellingen via een survey bevraagd. De resultaten tonen dat hoe meer lerarenopleiders inzetten op effectieve strategieën in hun onderwijs – zoals het fungeren als rolmodel en het reflecteren over de rol van ICT in onderwijs – hoe hoger de ICT-competenties van toekomstige leraren. Verder blijkt dat hoe meer lerarenopleiders focussen op effectieve strategieën, hoe beter de ICT- competenties van toekomstige leraren voor het ontwerpen van ICT-rijke leeromgevingen. We formuleren aanbevelingen die startende leraren in staat stellen tot succesvolle ICT-integratie te komen.

To gather information about the student and class characteristics, questionnaires were administered to 1,013 sixth grade primary school students in 55 classes in Flanders, Belgium. The results of the two-level regression analysis indicate that students’ interpersonal citizenship skills are mainly explained by characteristics at the student level (gender, home language, and parents’ country of birth). At the class level, only ethnic diversity is related to the interpersonal citizenship skills of students, favouring more ethnic diversity in the class.
