Abstract

In the present study, the issues of teacher resilience and the persistent gender stereotypes in the field are discussed. The main objective of the conducted research study was to examine the presence of gender-stereotype-confirming behavior in coping with adversity in vocational school teachers. The Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale CDRISC-25SLOVAKwas selected as the most suitable research instrument, by means of which gender differences in the participants’ (N=474) responses in its subscales were studied. The results obtained confirmed the hypothesis presuming the existence of gender differences in the achieved scores in five of the seven dimensions of the scale, and also stereotype-confirming behaviors—according to which men are rational problem solvers while women tend to apply emotion-focused coping strategies—were reported. This knowledge can be the first step towards introducing measures with the aim to provide individuals of all genders with opportunities to broaden their scale of coping strategies and promote resilience in them. Since vocational school teachers are on the periphery of researchers’ interest and no available extensive study has been focused on gender differences in teacher resilience, the research findings aim to fill the gap in the existing knowledge, provide unique data for policymakers, and create a basis for further resilience research. Doi: 10.28991/ESJ-2024-SIED1-011 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

In the study, an overview of the current situation in the field of inclusive education in Slovakia is presented. Since teachers' attitudes towards inclusive education are among the key determinants of the success or failure of SEN students' inclusion in mainstream schools, the main objective of the study was to investigate them in the context of implementing the new Strategy for Inclusive Education in Slovakia. In this quantitative study, Mahat [1] "The Multidimensional Attitudes Toward Inclusive Education Scale (MATIES)" was used and three components of teachers' attitudes – cognitive, affective, and behavioral – were examined by means of univariate, bivariate, and multivariate methods of statistical analysis. As the aging of the teaching population is an issue in Slovakia, age-related peculiarities were focused on in the study. The findings revealed statistically significant differences in the affective and behavioral components between the two examined age-groups of teachers. Since no extensive study has been focused on teachers' attitudes towards replacing school integration by school inclusion in Slovakia, the proposed study aims to fill the gap and provide unique data useful in the process of changing traditional schools into inclusive ones. The obtained results also point to the importance of considering teachers' attitudes towards any changes to be introduced. Doi: 10.28991/ESJ-2022-SIED-02 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

The aim of the study is to present a newly developed research instrument examining the determinants of second chance programmes' success or failure from the perspective of teachers. In the theoretical part of the study, the authors elaborate on the issues of second chance education and focus on factors having a direct impact on the results of its realization. Subsequently, the Second Chance Education Indicators Questionnaire developed by the authors, the results of the carried out internal factorial analysis, as well as the calculated correlations, are presented. Based on the gathered data from 1,038 teachers, seven factors – "Satisfying employers' needs in the field of education"; "Promoting the development of teachers' competencies for second chance education"; "Providing teachers with support in developing their professional skills in the field of second chance education"; "Funding schools providing second chance education"; "The system of dual VET in second chance education"; and "Potentials for increasing the quality of second chance education" – were identified, and the existence of an internal factorial structure was confirmed. Since there is no other available research tool for identifying these determinants, it can be assumed that the Second Chance Education Indicators Questionnaire is a unique research tool, which can be used for further research activities and can contribute to broadening the current knowledge in the field. Doi: 10.28991/ESJ-2023-SIED2-015 Full Text: PDF
