Abstract
Teacher preparation that includes a full-year internship in a Professional Development School
(PDS) shows great promise for development and retention of classroom ready teachers. The PDS
Ellen Whitford experience allows novice teachers begin their careers with strong pedagogical skills, a range of
ERCICTEL2009063 strategies in classroom management, and confidence in their readiness to function as professionals
in the school. Despite this strong preparation in the PDS, research suggests that the transition from
the status of “student teacher” to “teacher” poses challenges in socialization that beginning teachers
are not prepared to address. The experience is best described as bureaucratic socialization, the
need for persons new to an organization to become compatible with its values and structures.
Employment in a new school requires that novice teachers adapt to the culture and follow the
established practices of a new administrative structure. New teachers report a diminished sense of
confidence in an environment where they cannot be assured of strong mentoring and support.
Strategies to help new teachers anticipate and meet this challenge can offset early struggles. To
address this gap in teacher preparation, this PDS internship model has been expanded to include:
professional development at the culmination of the internship to foster awareness of the transition
and to anticipate challenges, shared feedback from successful first year teachers, mentoring during
the transition phase, and focused support from administrators.
Lina Soares Awakening Teacher Leaders: A New Paradigm in Education for School and Student Success

Abstract
For decades, teachers have fulfilled many leadership roles from serving on committees, to
functioning as department chairs and grade level leaders to selecting instructional materials and
designing curricula. Advocacy for expanded leadership opportunities has become increasingly
important in the United States. States and districts are promoting teacher leadership in multiple
ways to professionalize teaching, create opportunities for teacher career advancement, enhance
school improvement, and facilitate professional learning for educator and student success. Because
teachers are on the frontline and interact daily with students, teacher leadership is based on the
premise that teachers are in the best position to make critical decisions about issues related to
teaching and learning. While teacher leadership is often viewed as a set of knowledge and skills that
enhance the teaching profession, we believe teacher leadership is an optimal strategy for addressing
the complex nature of schools. Engaging teachers more fully in collaborative teaching practices,
improved decision making, and applying their expertise to strengthen the profession and increase
student success has been found to be a win-win strategy for public education in states that have
endorsed the teacher leadership principle. This contribution aims to bring awareness to teacher
leadership. Based on a university advance degree course we have developed, we provide a research-
based framework for promoting teachers as leaders to facilitate school improvement and ultimately
student success. The framework includes: building relationships and partnerships, fostering a
collaborative culture, advancing instruction and student learning, driving initiatives, and practicing
equity and fairness.
Key Words: Teacher Leadership, Teacher Autonomy, Teacher Advancement, School Improvement
Basma Bukhari Using Task-Based Language Teaching in and Outside Classroom Context: A Quasi-Experimental
ERCICTEL2009083 Study on Saudi Female EFL Learners In the English Language Institute at King Abdulaziz
University
Basma Bukhari
Abstract
Contemporary, people live in an information technology driven environment with very quick
changes in technological tools. Such rapid technological changes and transformations resulted to
dramatic changes in today’s classroom teaching and learning. Moreover, students’ learning
approaches have changed and differed from those of previous generations (Brunsel & Horejsi,
2013). With the growing use of the current various technological tools among Saudi students, Saudi
EFL teaching and learning is experiencing marvellous changes regarding teaching objectives,
teaching methods and approaches, and teaching concepts. Thus, the researcher of the present study
integrated two methods of teaching, namely, Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) and Flipped
Classroom (FC) in order to teach English grammar to preparatory year students. This study aims
to investigate the effectiveness of using Task-Based Language Teaching into Flipped Classroom
model with the aid of WhatsApp application to teach English grammar to Saudi EFL students at
King Abdulaziz University. Moreover, it aims to explore the students’ perceptions toward the
implementation of task-based flipped learning method on their grammatical development. For this
study, a mixed-methods approach was employed through quasi experimental design, in which an
experimental group and a control group were assigned. The data were collected quantitatively
through pre- and post-grammar tests, and qualitatively through semi-structured interviews. The
results revealed that the integration of the two methods sufficiently enhanced the experimental
group’s grammar ability to cause a statistical significance in comparison to the controlled group.
Moreover, the experimental group students showed a positive attitude toward the implantation of
task-based into flipped classroom method.

Sofia Cramerotti
University of Verona, Department of Human Sciences, Italy
Abstract
The aim of this research is the proposal of a framework-syllabus of teachers’ professional skills and
competencies. To promote the construction of this framework-syllabus for this study, a
heterogeneous team of 15 users with complementary competencies was involved in its development
(educational researchers, school principals-head teachers, teachers of all grades), according to
Sofia Cramerotti Italian and international professional standards. The methodology used was based on different
ERCICTEL2009098 focus groups interspersed by individual moments of self-inquire and self-reflection. The outcome of
this study is a framework-syllabus composed by skills and competencies that each “expert teacher”
should master in order to meet the requirements of the teaching profession. The framework-
syllabus is structured in 3 macro-areas (professional, teaching and organizing) and 16 competencies
expressed in 77 different behavioural indicators (how demonstrate the indicator in her/his practice).
It was structured in three macro-areas and 16 competencies explained in 77 different behavioural
indicators (how demonstrate the indicator in her/his practice): 1. Area of professional
competencies: Practice professional ethic; Manage relationships/leadership; Life-long
learning/continuous training/innovation; Problem solving; ICT-digital competencies; Use of English
language (L2) as professional instrument. 2. Area of teaching competencies: Teaching-
learning/didactical planning; Enhance talent/educational guidance; Organizing educational
resources; Inclusion; Handle class/groups; Students’ observation/assessment; Evaluate the
effectiveness of didactical interventions. 3. Area of organizing competencies: Collaboration/team
working; Design/evaluate the school participation-system improvement; Handle/accompanying

ERCICTEL2009085 Business Writing Proficiency
Saša Milić
Faculty of Philosophy, Department of Pedagogy, University of Montenegro, Niksic, Montenegro
Abstract
Research objectives - The overall objective of the project was to explore the ways in which
Saša Milić dominant socio-cultural identities are formed and expressed in pre-school children in Montenegro -
ERCICTEL2011074 national, religious, social- personal, language, gender identity. The basic assumption of research is
contained in the conviction that "the ways of thinking about childhood are associated with
institutional practices" (Prout, James, 2005: 22), through, using Fuko's language, "the regime of
truth", so the crucial focus of research is precisely on the very practice of educators/parents
relationships, or, more precisely, in the insight into how the educational relations makes the context
to the support of manifesting autonomy and the agency of the child, on the basis of which we will
"unlock" and deconstruct the dominant socio-cultural identities of children in Montenegro.
Methodology - Methodological approach in this research was more qualitative and socio-cultural
identities were examined through following research techniques: focus groups with 30 preschool
teachers; systemic observation of education process in 6 cities/preschool institutions (150 children);
questionnaire with 150 parents; photo-interview with 100 children and 6 case studies.
Findings - Findings of our research form the three focus groups conducted with 30 preschool
teachers are:
Generally speaking, there is satisfactory level of knowledge of child rights in Montenegrin preschool
institutions, but there is lack of deeper understanding how the concept of child rights can be
implemented in education process;
Preschool teachers are very little devoted to development of national and language identity and they
actions in this directions are mostly formal and stereotypical.
Development of religious identity is present, but from our point of view it is mostly stereotypical
and oriented to Orthodox religion, with the significant neglecting of materials and activities which
promote other present religions in Montenegro (Catholic, Muslim and other).
Development of gender identity is definitely very stereotypical (“blue boys and rose girls”) and this
approach is present in most activities (educational, games, routines, celebrations) and materials
(books, toys etc.).
Outcomes and Future Scope - The findings of the study: 1) could potentially represent guidelines

for understanding the overall picture of child development, educational impacts on pre-school age
and understanding the development of identity in pre-school children, 2) can be taken as a unique
contribution to the Montenegrin identity image, 3) and can offer a phenomenological view of the
basic pedagogical dyad teacher-child and parent-child, but also the phenomenon of childhood in
Montenegro and Western Balkan countries.

Abstract
Albeit the proliferation of digital technology and e-learning, face-to-face lessons still comprise the
majority of time spent in schools around the world. Traditional classroom teaching encounter
fundamental constraints like the difficulty faced by one educator to track the understanding of a
group of learners. Numerous tools exist to help educators but they are mostly detached from the
actual teaching and learning materials, and hence necessitate a breaking away from the flow of the
lesson to collect, visualize and understanding the data collected.
In this paper, we present a real-time learning analytics system that is able to provide both educators
and learners a real-time view of the data collected from learners’ interaction with a mobile-
optimized lesson embedded in a learning management system and accessible via mobile phones or
computers. Data collection and visualization is automated and achieved with no friction to the flow
of the lesson. The educator could use the data to keep track of individual students’ responses, as
well as moderate the pace of the whole class.
Action research was done on a total of four classes of students to test the benefits of using the real-
time learning analytics system. Quantitative sentiment feedback was collected and the number of
targeted interventions by the educators were recorded. Targeted interventions are defined as
moments when the educator spot a learning gap or misconception and intervene immediately to
address the issue. Both categories of data captured showed positive results for the use of real-time
learning analytics in the classroom.
The system has potential to be used in any domain as it is domain-neutral in nature and built on

open-source technology. Usage of the system also does not require much technical know-how, and
the lessons created can be easily exported into any major Learning Management Systems (LMSs).

Abstract
This study focused on the development and validation of structured module in Logic with the
integration of Positive Education following the five-core elements of PERMA Approach, the
psychology of well-being and happiness. These elements which are positive emotions, engagement,
relationship, meaning and accomplishment served as the foundations of the researcher in
structuring the module. Moreover, the researcher studied how Positive Education helped the Grade
11 students, who are taking General Mathematics in school year 2019-2020, improved their
academic performances and alter the views of the students in learning Mathematics.
Specifically, the study was conducted by attaining the following objectives: (a) to develop and
validate a structured module in teaching Logic. (b) to verify the effectiveness of the structured
module to the students between the experimental and control groups; low- and high- performing
students. Moreover, the structured module was validated by the Mathematics specialists for the
content, specialists who were inclined with Positive Psychology and Positive Education, and by the
selected students from the experimental group using a questionnaire. The results from these
validations were satisfactory and highly acceptable. Hence, the effectiveness of the content was
documented. The findings revealed that the structured module helped the experimental group to
improve their performance in the post-test, which was not observed among the control group.
Likewise, the study also verified if the Positive Education approach was a factor for the
improvement of the performance of both low- and high-performing students. Eventually, the
results may be considered as manifestations that there was no significant difference between the
scores, meaning that the structured module was effective to both groups.
Also, the study proposed an action plan recommending a Positive Education Program to the

Sara Bandar D Alharbi Integrating Digital Storytelling and Universal Design Principles to Teach Arabic Language
ERCICTEL2012081 Curriculum
Abstract
Mobile e-learning has become a new teaching and learning paradigm over the last few years, driven
by the development of powerful smart phone and tablet technology. However, the Saudi Arabian
education system especially in schools tends to follow the traditional teacher-centred methods in the
classroom. A review of current literature has highlighted the effectiveness of mobile devices as an
effective educational tool in higher education. There is a motivation to apply mobile learning in
schools for enhancing learning and teaching methods along with addressing learners’ needs. This
study aimed at designing a novel mobile learning tool targeted at the Arabic language learning
curriculum in second year primary schools. This devised to help shift teacher-centred education to
learner-centred education, thus supporting effective and interactive learning within the classroom.
This novel tool will combine digital storytelling and universal design principles on mobile devices.
By doing this, the students can learn based on the process of creating their own stories at their own
pace and sharing these stories benefitting their learning process. It is planned that a mixed research
methods pilot study will be adopted to evaluate the effectiveness of this tool in students engagement
and learning.

College of Education, Science Education Department, De La Salle University, Manila, Philippines
Abstract
This paper sought to explore and investigate changes in students’ understanding of the periodic
Mariz Ortega table and attitude towards Chemistry by integrating mental models of periodicity (MMP) through
ERCICTEL2013069 guided inquiry approach (GIA) activities. A pre-post quasi-experimental design was utilized to
grade 8 advanced class (AGHAMON) students from Assumption College, San Lorenzo Makati
using Periodic Table Achievement Test (PTAT) and Attitude Towards Chemistry Lesson Scale
(ATCLS) adapted from Demircioğlu et al. ( 009) and Cheung ( 007) respectively. Topics included
in the use of MMP through GIA activities are atomic structure, electron configuration and periodic
trends of elements. Students’ MMP were analyzed and characterized from the responses in model
checkpoint activities using Johnstone’s triangle of chemical representation and transcribed think-
aloud protocols during GIA activities. Data gathered from the pre- and post- PTAT were analyzed
using t-test and Cohens-d for effect size while students’ attitude towards Chemistry was analyzed
using means and percentage from ATCLS, transcribed think-aloud protocols, recorded interviews,
and classroom observations. Study findings revealed that students utilized microscopic mental
models of representation by using and inventing models but can also be integrated to other
characteristics of mental models in representing their understanding of the topics in periodic table.
The study also found that there is a significant improvement on students’ understanding and
attitude towards Chemistry after the integration of MMP through GIA activities. With this, the use
of MMP through GIA activities provided new opportunities for 21st Century learners to gain a
more enduring understanding of the periodic table and confidence in learning which leads to a
more positive learning attitude towards Chemistry.

Department of Languages, Faculty of Applied Arts, King Mongkut's University of Technology,
North Bangkok, Bangkok, Thailand
Abstract
Global challenges allow universities to handle a significant role in securing the future labor force by
fostering knowledge and other technical and academic skills in students. English proficiency is
considered as one of keys for academic and occupational successes. In Thailand, the Office of the
Basic Education Commission specified the B1 level of the CEFR as the goal of English proficiency
for high school or vocational certificate graduates. Therefore, for university levels, students’
English ability equal to B1 level or above is expected. English proficiency tests are needed to fulfill
this assessment purpose. Moreover, one of the considering points is that the test results are
generally reported quantitatively without meaningful interpretations so the test results may not be
used as beneficial information for the educational development. This study attempts to investigate
the Target Language Use (TLU) domain of academic English Proficiency for EFL university
students so performance indicators can be established. The quality of this developed test was
evaluated and the concurrent validity was examined to prove how well the developed test correlated
to a well-established test. The sample of the study consisted 39 informants giving information about
the TLU domain and 30 test takers for the main study. The instruments consisted of the open-ended
questionnaire asking about the TLU domain and the developed academic English proficiency test.
The data analysis included frequency and percentage for the analysis of the TLU domain. The
construct validity, reliability and item analysis were analyzed for the test quality. Finally, Pearson’s

Abstract
The outbreak of corona virus pandemic shocks the world. This invisible enemy has drastically
changed our lives. We are forced to get out of our comfort zone and do something that we do not
Andreas Winardi normally do. In the field of education, this manifests in the form of online learning. For example,
ERCICTEL2013072 instead of doing direct face to face interaction as we comfortably do, we need to use technology to
reach our students. This may cause boredom because most of the time the students just listen to the
teachers’ explanation and do the assignments given to them. To remedy this situation, the author
suggests that we swift our role from teaching to coaching as this may encourage our students to be
more creative, enthusiastic, and engaged. This paper discusses the differences between the two
roles, then proposes some ideas to turn this seemingly unfavorable situation into a more enjoyable
one.
