عنوان انگلیسی Iranian English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers’ professional development needs in educational contexts: Exploring the challenge of reflective practice
چکیده انگلیسی مقاله Introduction: This study investigated Iranian, English as a foreign language (EFL) teachers’ attitudes toward reflective teaching compared with their classroom assessment preferences and up-take of strategy based instruction. It compared their views in the two key higher education provider contexts of the university and institute.
Methods: In this cross-sectional correlational study, a total of 90 teachers, half drawn from each university in a major city in Iran, were selected using controlled quota sampling. Data were collected through a four-part survey. Besides gathering demographic data (Part A), the survey drew upon three established instruments that used a Likert Scale format. Part B comprised the Teacher Reflectivity questionnaire, and Part C focused on the Classroom Assessment Preferences Survey Questionnaire for Language Teachers. Also, part D administered the Teachers’ Beliefs Inventory for Strategy Instruction. The reliability of this and the CAPSQ-LT was confirmed by the researchers using Cronbach’s alpha at 0.842 and 0.951, respectively. A total of 90 questionnaires were distributed, with 72 fully completed (80%) and returned. the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) was employed to analyze the data, using the independent sample t-test and ANOVA. Also, Pearson productmoment correlations were used to measure the association between the variables. A p-value less than 0.05 was considered as significant. Results: As shown in Table 2, a statistically significant and positive correlation was found between the teachers’ reflective teaching scores and classroom assessment preference scores (r=0.473, P=0.001). This correlation was moderately high and positive, thus supporting that higher teacher reflective practices reflect a broader application of classroom assessment. The Table also shows that there was no significant correlation between the teachers’ attitudes toward reflective teaching and their uptake of strategy-based instruction (r=0.094; P=0.434). Similarly, there was no statistically significant correlation between the teachers’ attitudes toward classroom assessment preferences and their beliefs about strategy-based instruction (r=0.038, P=0.752). As shown, no statistically significant difference was observed between the teachers’ attitudes toward reflective
teaching and their uptake of strategy-based instruction (P<0.05).
Conclusion: This study draws attention to the need for teachers in EFL contexts, such as this, to have access to professional development opportunities that deeply engage and guide them to be reflective practitioners who can make the connections between assessment techniques, strategy-based instruction, and students’ improved language learning outcomes.
