Abstract:
Abstract This study looks at the Chinese-learning experiences of six classroom learners who continued to the end of secondary school in Victoria, Australia, through in-depth interviews. Various systemic deterrents to continued Chinese language study are identified by the participants, including: (1) the schooling journey, including transition between primary and high school and disruption from uninterested students in compulsory classes; (2) the curriculum and the learning demands dictated by the form of assessment; (3) the risk of poor assessment results prejudicing post-school study options, in particular because the cohort includes large numbers of home speaker learners. In Victoria, Australia, a large part of what schools provide is dictated by the metasystem of education and the assessments at which it aims. Thus the structural deterrents to Chinese classroom learner continuation identified are within the power of government agencies to change, in order to enable more of these students to continue.

Abstract:
Demotivating factors negatively influence teachers attitudes and behaviors and hence lead to undesired teaching outcomes. The endeavor of this thesis was to scrutinize some sources of demotivational factors among Iranian English language teachers junior and senior high schools. To begin with, 100 junior and senior high school teachers in Chaharmahal Va Bakhtiari province, South West of Iran participated in this study. Two instruments (questionnaire and interview) were used for collecting data. Descriptive and inferential statistics for all questions and categories were generated and reported. The overall results showed that five out of six top items are related to working conditions and class facilities. The lowest number of demotivating factors related to lack of communication among teachers, lack of expression of straight opinion by colleagues, heterogeneity of learners in one class, students' forgetting to do homework, students' forgetting to bring textbook. The results also showed that recognizing and eradicating such impeding factors serve promising attention to learning, teaching and attainment.

Abstract:
Although South Africa achieved positive economic growth rates since the advent of democracy in 1994, the formal sector has not been able to absorb the annual increasing number of job-seekers on the market and solve the unemployment problem. The exercise of entrepreneurship, through business formations and expansions, is regarded as a vehicle for job creation and output expansion. According the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) reports, South Africa’s level of early stage total entrepreneurial activity (TEA) is rather low relative to other countries at a similar level of development. This is partly owing to skills and resource limitations. If more individuals could realistically be exposed to practical entrepreneurship education at the secondary school level, South Africa’s base for entrepreneurial capacity can be enhanced. This study uses quasi logistic regression to examine the probability of secondary school learners, in Pietermaritzburg, the capital of Kwazulu-Natal province in South Africa, to start their own business in the future. It also probes the association between the socio-economic attributes of these learners and entrepreneurship. On the basis of a survey of 275 senior school learners from 5 schools, the regression results indicate that gender, ethnic background and having a role model as well as acquiring personal skills to run one’s own business are significant factors influencing an individual’s propensity to venture into small firm self-employment in the future. Black learners are perceived to have a significantly greater disposition to enter into business than other groups, and male scholars are found to have a greater probability of starting their own business than female. As potential entrepreneurs do not necessarily come exclusively from a business family background, the supply of effective entrepreneurship can be augmented, if more young individuals with the relevant skills endowment can start opportunity firms and necessity ventures.

Abstract:
Scientific reasoning, though not explicitly taught in classrooms, is promoted as a major goal for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education at all levels, worldwide. Literature also indicates that the time spent by learners explaining and justifying their ideas strongly correlates with learning improvement. In Swaziland, however, reports from school science inspectors and school leaving examiners point to weak evidence of scientific reasoning skills from school-based and high-stake examinations. This contradicts the main education goal at this level – producing learners who can use science phenomena awareness for reasoning through diverse life contexts. The study was conceived within the interplay between cognitive and sociocultural theories of constructivism. It focuses on how senior secondary school Physical Science teachers use informal formative assessment (IFA), and how the assessments so used support scientific reasoning. Through the qualitative inquiry approach a multiple case study design was used where four teachers in the Manzini Region were purposively sampled and their lessons observed. The data were then analysed through content analysis and Furtak, Harding, Beinbrech, Shavelson, and Shemwell (2008)’s analytical framework. The study revealed that teachers initiated learner-centred dialogues to address misconceptions and ask further clarification questions. Practical work and contingency based oral questions generated a reach variety of scientific reasoning levels while cases where teachers treated none response moments by supplying answers generated the least reasoning levels. All in all, by diligently using IFA to support learning, teachers realised opportunities for assisting learners migrate from concrete operational to formal thinking levels.

Abstract:
This research study analyzes the effect the implementation of language-driven CLIL has on senior learners from Manuel J. Calle High School in Cuenca, Ecuador in relation to the development of written production in terms of Syntax, Content, Communicative Achievement, Organization, and Language compared to a non-language-driven CLIL classroom. There were 40 participants in the experimental group, and 38 participants in the control group. Learners from the experimental group received a condensed 35-hour intervention using CLIL. This study features an exploratory, mixed-method, and quasi-experimental research design. To collect qualitative data, an open-ended questionnaire was administered to explore the subjects learners preferred to study in a language-driven CLIL classroom. To collect quantitative data, a Pre and Post-Test based on the writing section of Cambridge Objective Primary English Test was administered. The data was analyzed through the Independent T-Test and Paired-T-Test to determine if there was a statistically significant difference present between the language-driven CLIL classroom and the non-language-driven CLIL classroom. The data was calculated through the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). A survey was administered to collect data on learners’ perceptions about CLIL and then analyzed statistically. Results indicated that learners preferred to study History, Biology, and Spanish Language and Literature. Results also demonstrated that the experimental group also demonstrated improvement in all the examined parameters when compared to the control group. However, when results from both groups are compared, there is only a statistical improvement in Organization and Syntax.

Abstract:
This study examines Chinese EFL learners’ motivation at different educational levels and their perceptions of teacher-related motivators. The questionnaire survey and follow-up interview were administrated among students from junior high schools, senior high schools and universities, and the results reveal the impact of teachers’ perceived commitment on students’ motivational level together with the most motivating teacher factors identified by three student groups. With the English learning experience accumulating, students tend to place less value on teachers’ emotional support whereas rate teaching competence as the key factor for their motivation. Also, striking findings related to learners’ motivation at the tertiary level have been elucidated: first, compared with young learners, university students not only do not think that teachers’ commitment would exert much influence on their motivation but also show a tendency to follow this belief in action. Second, teachers’ capacity for knowledge transfer is rated highest by them as the most crucial motivator rather than the communicative teaching style, which is instead overwhelmingly prioritized by secondary school learners. Based on these findings, recommendations on motivational instruction for English teachers at different levels of education are suggested.

Abstract:
Purpose of the study: The attitudes of students when learning are behaviors that can be learned from psychology. This study aims to determine the comparison of students' attitudes towards physics and biology in Adhyaksa 1 Senior High School in Jambi City and the State Senior High School 8 in Batanghari Regency, Indonesia. Methodology: The sample used was 282 students consisting of 140 students at Senior High School Adhyaksa 1 Jambi, and 142 students at Senior High School 8 Batanghari, and this type of research was a comparative quantitative study with a survey design. The instrument used was a questionnaire, and the data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Main Findings: The results obtained indicate that there are differences in the attitudes of students at senior high school Adhyaksa 1 Jambi with Senior high school 8 Batanghari with a ratio of 0.046 attitudes toward physics and 0.032 attitudes toward biology. Shows that students' attitudes toward physics and biology have some comparisons in the Batanghari region and the Kota Jambi. Applications of this study: These findings can contribute to the realm of psychology to enhance students' positive attitudes towards physics and biology subjects in secondary education institutions, especially in the Indonesian region. Negative attitudes towards science, especially towards physics and biology such as those found in senior high schools in the Batanghari Regency and Jambi City, need to be pursued to become positive attitudes. Novelty/Originality of this study: The novelty of this research is to explore the quality psychology knowledge of students for Physics and biology teachers, especially in education. Besides, to find out how students' attitudes towards science, especially physics and biology. In this case, the student attitudes towards physics and biology in the Batanghari Region and Jambi City.

Abstract:
<p class="Default"><em>This study compared effectiveness of two types of instruction on Taiwanese EFL senior high school students’ oral production of derived words: communicative versus explicit. Participants included three intact classes of twelfth graders in a private senior high school. One class received explicit instruction, another communicative instruction. The third class received conventional instruction and served as the control group. Three groups received one 25-minute lesson on oral production of English derived words per week for a total of six weeks. Instruments included oral derived words tasks in isolation and in sentential context, and two versions of the treatment questionnaire. Results show that both Explicit and Communicative Groups significantly outperformed Control Group in the posttest of oral production of derived words in isolation, with neutral suffixes, with nominals, and at levels 5-6. Communicative Group also significantly surpassed Control Group in the derived words with non-neutral suffixes and beyond level 6. However, there was no significant difference among three groups in </em><em>oral production of English derived words</em><em> in sentential context, with adjectives, and at levels 3-4. Based on the results of this study, language instructors are suggested to first explicitly teach learners how to orally produce English derived words and then use communicative activities to enhance learners’ interest and motivation. Future studies are recommended to compare effects of explicit and communicative instruction on learners with varying proficiency levels and/or with longer periods of practice or exposure. </em></p>

<p>This study examines teaching performance satisfaction among three English teachers in Makassar. These three teachers are students at a postgraduate program in English Education (Ph.D Program) at the State University of Makassar. All of them have more than seven years experience, two teaching at Secondary High School and one of at Senior High School. Two of them are males and one is female. Interviews were carried out with these Intensive EFL program teachers. Interviews were transcribed and analyzed according to the grounded theory method. The research focused on teacher’s satisfaction with their pedagogical competence. Findings reveal whether all the EFL teachers felt satisfied with their pedagogic competence across all seven indicators, as follows: (a) understanding learners’ characteristics, (b) mastering teaching-learning theory (approach, method strategy of teaching), (c) developing curriculum, (d) presenting instructional process, (e) understanding and developing learners’ potency, (f) communication, and (g) evaluation (Ministerial Education, 2010).</p>

Abstract:
English is considered as a foreign language for Indonesian speakers. It also becomes the first obligatory foreign language to be taught in Indonesian Secondary Schools. However, English is rarely used as the medium of communication in the daily life context. Consequently, learners encounter difficulties in uttering sentences and creating written expressions. Therefore, they need to be self-regulated and strategic to acquire English proficiency. The researchers argued that applying self-regulated learning (SRL) by both students and teachers could enhance students’ language mastery. This paper aimed to investigate whether or not self-regulated learning towards the English subject of Grade X and XI students was implemented in one Senior High School in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. It adopted a mixed method approach by distributing questionnaire to 60 students, and conducting a semi-structured interview to one English teacher. One English teacher was chosen as a convenience sample in this study. Based on the finding, the students depict positive results in responding four strategies represented Self-Regulated Learning, including: 1) Planning, 2) Monitoring, 3) Controlling, and 4) Reflecting. Meanwhile, the researcher classified the findings of the teacher’s interview into four major points. The points were: 1) Modelling, 2) Encouraging, 3) Strategic Teaching Method, 4) Outcome Checking and Feedback. From the findings, it could be concluded that both the students and the teacher implemented some aspects of self-regulated learning; even though the process should be conducted more systematically and consistently.

Abstract:
Career choice is one of the most daunting decisions one has to make, since it has implications that affect a variety of aspects in one’s life. For adolescents, career decision–making is even more challenging because it is done at a time when adolescents are going through a period of identity formation, and when their core personalities have not yet been fully formed. It is therefore essential to provide systematic career guidance programmes that will assist adolescents in their career development in order to empower them to make realistic career choices. The school, as a place where adolescents spend most of their time, can be used as a vehicle to promote meaningful career development amongst adolescent learners. However, the contribution by adolescents themselves in determining the appropriate content and career guidance services/activities that will best address their needs is vital. Senior secondary school learners, in particular, are in a position to articulate their career planning needs and to identify the deficits in existing career guidance programmes. The situation in Botswana where career guidance forms only a quarter of the public secondary school guidance and counselling programme, which, with all its four components, is allocated only one 40 minute–period per week deserves special attention. Hence, this study set out to determine: * the career planning needs of Senior Public Secondary School Learners in Gaborone, Botswana as articulated by the learners themselves; * the extent to which the current career guidance programme in Senior Public Secondary Schools meets the needs of the learners. A mixed methods design, consisting of the use of a questionnaire to collect the quantitative data and a qualitative method in the form of focus–group interviews, was used to collect the data for the study. The findings of the study highlight several challenges which hamper the provision of a systematic career guidance programme to the learners, which include limited time, lack of trained personnel and less than optimal career service delivery practices. The lack of key career exploration activities in schools, such as the use of internet resource materials and career video/audio tapes, job–shadowing, career field–trips/excursions and, in some cases, career talks, results in learners experiencing unmet career needs. This situation affects the extent to which the curriculum in place addresses the career planning needs of the learners. No significant differences were noted in the needs of the learners according to gender. The study reveals that the Career Guidance Programme provides the relevant theoretical frame–work for providing the necessary assistance to learners to make informed career decisions. However, the actual implementation of the programme in the different schools leaves a lot to be desired, with several learning outcomes for the career guidance programme in both Form 4 and Form 5 not being achieved. The effectiveness of the annual career fair as a major method of disseminating career information to learners also came into question since most learners expressed having gained minimal benefit from it.

Thesis (M.Dev.) --University of Limpopo, 2009
There is dearth of information about the extent of alcohol abuse by teenagers, focusing mainly on the volume and the frequency of alcohol intake by teenagers especially in a rural setting. Most notable contributions are descriptive in nature and rely on cross-sectional analysis, with little specific focus on rural teenage alcohol abuse. To bridge the gap, this study quantifies the extent of alcohol abuse by teenagers in rural areas by means of a case study in Lebitso Senior Secondary School situated in Mopani District of Limpopo Province. STUDY DESIGN A mixed approach was used with the quantitative method taking the upper hand because of the nature of the variables for the hypotheses formulated which required statistical procedures. Simple random sampling was used as the study was characterized by the representation of the learners of one senior secondary school to represent the homogeneous nature of teenagers in a similar setting, in Limpopo Province. RESULTS The study population consisted of 251 male and female teenage learners of Lebitso Senior Secondary School. In the exploration of alcohol abuse by teenagers, the availability of liquor outlets in respect of the teenagers’households, and the socio-economic status of their families were revealed to have a bearing on their abuse of alcohol. 93% of teenagers had liquor outlets near their places of residence. The study has also shown that 87% of male learners and 13% of female learners had access to finances, which influenced their behaviour towards the abuse of alcohol. CONCLUSION Among the recommendations were that Education, Health, Safety and Security Sectors were to join hands in order to come up with preventative measures to deal with this problem.

Abstract:
This interpretive case study was undertaken to investigate the nature of classroom tasks that teachers give to their learners and to gain insights into how they choose these tasks. It was carried out at two secondary schools in the Okahao circuit of the Omusati region in Namibia. The schools range from Grade 8 to Grade 12. This study focused mainly on teachers who teach Mathematics at senior secondary phase (Grade 11 and 12). The research participants were of four mathematics teachers – two from each school. The study was designed around two phases. Phase one consisted of video-recording of lessons, and phase two consisted of interviewing the teachers. The main purpose of the study was to ascertain the types and nature of tasks that teachers give to their learners and to gain insights into how they chose these tasks. The research adopted a combination of both qualitative and quantitative approaches. The study revealed that the participating teachers provided a near equal amount of lower level cognitive tasks and higher level cognitive tasks. It further revealed several factors that influence teachers when selecting the types of tasks they give to their learners. These factors include curriculum requirements, types of learners and their experiences, and learners’ contexts.

Abstract:
This study explored language attitudes of high-school-level heritage learners of Spanish. Five varieties of Spanish and English, namely, standard Mexican, non-native and local Southern Arizona Spanish, code-switching, and Chicano-accented English were presented to heritage learners using audio-recorded voice samples. Evaluations were recorded on semantic differential scales designed to reflect two distinct attitude dimensions, solidarity and socio-intellectual status/prestige. In addition to quantifying language attitudes, the study attempted to establish correlations with demographic factors. Demographic surveys and student interviews further yielded information to develop a current description of heritage learners in a formal, classroom setting. Teacher interviews provided insights into program structure and teacher preparation. The ultimate pedagogical goal of this investigation was to define implications for heritage language instruction and for the preparation of teachers for this relatively new, yet growing field. A total of 238 students from programs for Spanish heritage learners in ten schools encompassing four districts, public and private, took part in the study. Structure and practices of heritage programs were found to differ widely, with teachers exercising considerable discretion over curriculum. Students were found to be 90% recently arrived or second-generation students of Mexican, mostly Sonoran, background. Students expressed largely instrumental motivation for their pursuit of Spanish in school and 85% planned to pursue higher education. Results indicate significant differences in students' attitudes between the normative and vernacular language varieties tested. In this academic setting, students' attitudes reflected a distinct preference for more standard varieties. The English test variety was ranked below these and above the vernaculars. Student-participants also showed sensitivity to fine distinctions in register and style. Gender of both speaker and listener were shown to affect language attitudes. Students' habits of language use, in particular the extent of outside reading and radio listening in Spanish, were significantly correlated with more positive language attitudes toward standard varieties. These habits also correlated with higher proficiency levels. These results engendered three salient implications for teaching and teacher preparation: the need to enhance students' outside reading and listening habits, the need to extend students' familiarity with divergent speech styles, the necessary inclusion of sociolinguistic underpinnings in teacher preparation.

Abstract:
The primary aim of the study was to explore the teaching and learning of vocabulary through listening among 137 senior secondary school EFL learners in China. A quasiexperimental, mixed method design was adopted comparing incidental vocabulary learning through listening (Control Group) with different types of Lexical Focus-on-Form delivered to three treatment groups: post-listening vocabulary explanations in the L2; codeswitched explanations; and explanations providing additional cross-linguistic information (contrastive Focus-on-Form, CFoF). The second aim of the study was to investigate whether learners’ listening comprehension developed alongside their vocabulary. Finally, the study explored what strategies were used by learners in response to the vocabulary instruction in each of the three experimental conditions. The data collection procedure, involving a classroom intervention, lasted three months. Learners completed aural vocabulary tests at pre, post and delayed post-test and listening assessments at pre and post-test. The three treatment groups also completed an additional final vocabulary delayed post-test. Stimulated recall interviews were conducted finally with twelve learners from the three treatment groups. The findings first indicate that for short and long-term vocabulary acquisition, the three treatment groups significantly outperformed the Control group. Gains for the CFoF group were significantly greater than for the L2 and codeswitching groups. Additionally, the codeswitching group significantly outperformed the L2 group for short-term but not for long-term acquisition. Regarding whether the vocabulary learning varied according to learners’ general English language proficiency, findings reveal that compared with lower-level learners, higher-level learners benefited more from the L2-only and the CFoF vocabulary explanations for shortterm vocabulary learning. Additionally, analysing the learning by word classes and for collocations, results on the one hand indicate that collocations and nouns tended to be better acquired than verbs and adjectives, on the other hand suggest that the learning of collocations and single words by the learners who received CFoF vocabulary explanations was significantly better than those from the L2 and codeswitching group. Furthermore, regarding the impact of different repetitions on vocabulary retention, findings confirm that target lexical items receiving nine repetitions were significantly better retained than those receiving seven, five or three repetitions. Looking at the impact of vocabulary intervention on learners’ listening comprehension, findings indicate that the L2, codeswitching and Control group showed significant pre to post-test improvement in listening comprehension, with most progress for the Control group. However, the CFoF group did not make significant progress and their performance was significantly worse than the Control group’s at post-test. Finally, the qualitative analysis regarding the strategies used in response to the vocabulary instruction suggest that learners used L2 listening comprehension strategies to understand the listening input as well as employing vocabulary learning strategies to guess the meaning of the unfamiliar lexical items and to further remember these items. In addition, in general, higher proficiency level learners tended to use more different strategies than low proficiency level learners. Moreover, although certain patterns of strategy use were shared by both higher and lower proficiency level learners within each treatment condition, higher proficiency level learners tended to use these strategy patterns in a more active way, compared with lower proficiency level learners who employed the strategies in a passive manner. The thesis concludes by discussing these findings in relation to theories of vocabulary acquisition and listening comprehension, as well as their implications for pedagogy, the limitations of the study and areas for future research.

Abstract:
This chapter discusses the pitfalls and promises of electronic portfolio assessment for English language learners in high school classrooms in the United States. In a three-year federally funded program designed to improve academic performance among culturally and linguistically diverse students at an urban high school in Honolulu, Hawaii, the author implemented electronic portfolio assessment (EPA) into academic English and heritage language classrooms. This chapter delineates how EPA was developed to enhance academic and linguistic abilities of adolescent ELLs while embracing their multifaceted and hybrid identities. It also presents both challenges and benefits that teachers and students experienced in the process of EPA. It concludes with suggestions for developing and implementing EPA for English language learners in similar contexts.

Abstract:
The substantiation as well as description of the technology of profile orientation in 8-9 grades of Ukrainian secondary schools are givenin the context of Ukrainian educational reform. Based on the empirical research the data of approbation of a diagnostic complex and an algorithm of group and individual work in the context of supporting future senior pupils’ conscious choice of an educational trajectory are resulted. The article presents the experience of transition programmes and career guidance for future senior pupils in the system of general secondary education of the USA and Japan, as well as the correspondent domestic experience. The aim of the publication is to present the results of testing the profile orientation technology in the unity of diagnostic, consulting and educational activity in order to implement the conscious choice educational profile in Ukrainian high school by 14-15 years old adolescents. Research methodology. The development of psychological aspects of pre-professional training is included into the general problems of the system of psychological and pedagogical, informational and organizational activities in the transition from secondary to senior school. On the basis of the theoretical analysis of experience of implementing foreign countries profile education, the basic directions of transitional programmes at entering high school for future senior pupils are highlighted. Based on the ideas of the work of the Haydens service in the USA, the use of the "F-test" and professional tests in Japanese schools and G.V. Rezapkina's programme of selection for profile classes the authors offer a vision of profile orientation technology in the context of reforming and restructuring in Ukrainian high school activities. In particular, the programme of complex assessment of motivational and intellectual characteristics of 9th grade graduates and the system of group and individual work on profile orientation are presented. Experimental work began in 2019. According to the experiment programme a comprehensive psychodiagnostics of motivational features, aptitudes, intellectual potential and special abilities of students of 8-9 grades was conductedduring 2019-2020. The sample of the study amounts 176 students of 8-9 grades (85 females, 91 males), aged 14-15 years. The result of testing the profile orientation technology is the analysis of the statistical distribution and verification of the methods reliability that are included in the psychodiagnostic complex, identifying the components effectiveness of further consulting and educational work with graduates of the main level of secondary school.

Abstract:
This chapter submits that conventional learning assessment models used in traditional classrooms cannot be employed in blended programs at the secondary education level. The tendency of high school students in online education is to adopt the path of least resistance or to cheat thinking that they cannot be caught. Constructing authentic assessment measures for online education should be crafted for teachers to ensure that students who graduate through this learning mode are competent. While examinations are to be conducted, test construction should differ. Online learners would prefer to apply what they have learned instead of the conventional assessments. This contribution aims to develop authentic assessment procedure for the Open High School Program of the Philippines (OHSP), a blended program offered by private high schools in the Philippines, funded by the Department of Education. The program aims to mainstream out-of-school youth, high school dropouts, or regular students who cannot afford to study on their own given their unfortunate circumstances in life. As adult learners, they have rich experiences that can be used in problem-based learning to understand the lessons more effectively. Hence, this study is anchored on the assumption that teachers in blended learning mode should employ a different learning assessment or unique to conditions of OSHP students.

Abstract:
The contextual factors influencing teachers' use of technology as well as teachers' Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) levels were investigated through multiple embedded case studies of five science teachers who were regular users of technology in their teaching. The case studies reported in this chapter revealed that teachers used technology to support inquiry learning through a wide range of ways in lower levels of high school but mostly to clarify concepts and theories for senior level students. This chapter identified that teachers demonstrated different TPACK levels of expertise and engagement in the use of technology when transferring different types of knowledge from one teaching and learning context to another and for addressing differences amongst learners. The context of assessment driven teaching influences science teachers' TPACK for integrating technology in instruction. The chapter noted that having teachers actively evaluate the effectiveness of the technology on students' learning may help increase teachers' TPACK levels.

Abstract:
The main aims of the chapter are to investigate the use of ActiveWorlds (AW) for teaching the English simple present tense as compared to traditional instruction and to find out the difference between the use of AW and traditional teaching when it comes to individual students. In the theoretical part, issues concerning virtual worlds are highlighted and some germane studies are discussed. The empirical part presents the outcome of the quasi-experimental study. It comprised three lessons and two groups of Polish senior high school students: the experimental group was subjected to instruction in AW and the control group was taught in a traditional way. The data were obtained by means of grammar tests and a post-questionnaire. The results show that both groups benefited from the instruction they received; however, the experimental learners' retention of the said grammar item turned out to be much superior when compared with the controls. In addition, the experimental students expressed more positive opinions on the lessons. Implications and future research directions are also offered.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to advance understanding on how early career teachers imagined themselves to be culturally responsive and how their beliefs and ideologies about teaching a diverse range of learners were challenged and refined during their early years of teaching. This qualitative, exploratory study was conducted in a large, secondary school in eastern Australia that has a highly diverse population of students. Findings indicate that, while these early career teachers lacked preparation for working with diverse learners, building relationships on multiple levels (with students, with fellow beginning teachers, and with senior staff which includes ongoing support and mentoring from colleagues) is essential for the development of early career teachers as culturally responsive practitioners. Findings are discussed in relation to Garmon’s (2005) six key factors for teaching diverse groups of students: openness, self-awareness, commitment to social justice, having intercultural experiences, have support group experiences, and recognising individual growth. These findings have implications for schooling systems in how they can better transition early career teachers to classrooms and for higher education teacher preparation programs in Australia and many other countries with a growing number migrant and refugee students coming into the school system.

Abstract:
In South Africa, the Further Education and Training phase (FET) in Accounting faces a major decline in learner numbers. The current format of FET Accounting serves little purpose in preparing learners for Accounting courses at tertiary level, if FET Accounting is not a precondition to Professional and Chartered Accountant courses. This study followed a qualitative research approach, from five Focus Groups at five Secondary schools in the Motheo Educational district, comprising of 16 FET Accounting Teachers to consider possible reasons for the decline of learners in FET Accounting. As result, uncertainty exists regarding the future of FET Accounting and the Accounting profession, when guidance teachers are presumably advising learners to take less suitable subjects, like Mathematical Literacy, History of Geography to enhance school reports. These findings influence the social responsibility of teachers; and it also results in many Accounting students having to spend two or more additional years at university due to their apparent lack of basic Accounting skills. Additionally, the negative perception towards FET Accounting might impact learners’ choices who might not plan a career in Accounting, thereby limiting their ability to secure any career in the financial sector. Collaborative social change is required from the Accounting profession and university alike, especially in the Fourth Industrial Revolution era, where a high degree of ethics and transparency are required.

Abstract:
To address chronically low primary school completion rates and the disconnect between learners’ skills at the end of primary school and the skills learners need to thrive in secondary school identified in many low- and middle-income countries, more investment is needed to improve the quality of teaching and learning in upper primary grades. Accordingly, we provide guidelines for improving five components of upper primary education: (1) In-service teacher professional development and pre-service preparation to improve and enhance teacher quality; (2) a focus on mathematics, literacy, and core content-area subjects; (3) assessment for learning; (4) high-quality teaching and learning materials; and (5) positive school climates. We provide foundational guiding principles and recommendations for intervention design and implementation for each component. Additionally, we discuss and propose how to structure and design pre-service teacher preparation and in-service teacher training and ongoing support, fortified by materials design and assessment, to help teachers determine where learners are in developmental progressions, move learners towards mastery, and differentiate and support learners who have fallen behind. We provide additional suggestions for integrating a whole-school climate curriculum, social-emotional learning, and school-related gender-based violence prevention strategies to address the internal and societal changes learners often face as they enter upper primary.
