Abstract

The significance of science education has reached a pinnacle in human history at the era of the fourth industrial revolution. Regretfully, the younger generation in Bangladesh has shown a diminishing interest in science education during the past 20 years. This study investigated the barriers to science education that secondary and upper school students face. The association between enrollment and several independent variables that affect students' interest in science education was investigated using a quantitative approach. Using a Likert scale technique, data was gathered from students at three distinct educational institutions. The investigation revealed that factors that statistically significantly influence interest in science education were personal preference, costs associated with the subject, career opportunities, and the classroom setting. To address this problem, the report offered suggestions to educators, leaders in education, and politicians.

Abstract

As the multimedia classroom gained enormous importance from the government of Bangladesh to modernize the educational system, this study initiated the objective to investigate the state of those classrooms at secondary schools. The study used a mixed-method approach with qualitative and quantitative data to explore the execution and possible improvements for those multimedia classes. Five secondary schools were selected purposively from each of the two districts named Sylhet and Cumilla. From these ten schools, hundred students and hundred assistant teachers were selected randomly to conduct ten focus group discussions (FGD) with each of the two groups. Moreover, ten interviews were conducted with the head teachers. Besides those, classrooms were observed while the multimedia was in use, along with a case study in a school. Although head teachers and assistant teachers mentioned many classes using multimedia, the students' words and observed class information gave alternative facts. Almost similar types of outcomes were found regarding digital content development, monitoring, and mentoring activities. While teachers were optimistic about the quality of digital content and classroom teaching, researchers found those to be less standard. In terms of monitoring the multimedia classroom, the majority of head teachers were more concerned about the number of multimedia used in the classroom due to administrative obligations than the quality.

Abstract

The study aims to investigate the issues embedded in the secondary-level teacher recruitment system from the structural perspective, which affect the motivation of the teaching profession, appointment and retention, and teacher development. The study applied the qualitative method and identified the issues that cause skill teacher shortage through causal relation analysis. The study used interviews with policymakers and administrators to identify the causes of the shortage of high-quality teachers in secondary institutions and discerned the solutions to ensure quality secondary education in Bangladesh. Adverse appointment and retention systems; and weak and stagnant teacher development facilities, were identified as the demotivating factors for taking the teaching profession. The solutions were found to enhance the attraction for teaching: firstly, by increasing salary, upholding teachers’ position in society and educational administration, and improving the working environment. The appointment and retention systems should be friendly by selecting and facilitating quality teachers. Lastly, a comprehensive and interconnected teacher development system should be initiated to ensure high-quality teachers at the secondary level.

Abstract

The use of ICT in teaching and learning processes at all levels was highlighted in Bangladesh's educational policy. According to studies, there are not enough secondary-level instructors in Bangladesh who are proficient in using digital technologies for instruction. The purpose of this research was to explore options for updating the teacher education curriculum by filling up any gaps found in the development of ICT-Pedagogy integration abilities. In this study, the TPACK framework was utilized to pinpoint curriculum gaps, and a mixed-method approach was used to achieve the study's goals. The curriculum was first examined to find any deficiencies, and then key informant interviews looked at potential updates to the curriculum that might fill those gaps. The study discovered a lack of proper teaching-learning methods and assessment, as well as clear objectives and topics on ICT and pedagogy integration. The study promoted a few approaches for teacher skill upgrades to improve their ability to teach with ICT.
