The Black male teacher: a 10-year content analysis of empirical research

ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to characterize the last decade of Black male teacher empirical research. The present study aimed to elucidate the most salient themes, commonalities, and departures in the literature on Black male educators. A quantitative content analysis was performed to systematically characterize the research trends present in this line of inquiry. The data were collected using an inductively generated coding scheme. A sample of n = 31 studies were identified and examined from articles published between 2006 and 2016. Then frequency data were computed to characterize the data under investigation. The study results indicate that Black male teacher research is nuanced and burgeoning, despite several lapses in article production. The results of this study contribute to the literature on Black male teacher recruitment, retention, and experiences by providing a survey of current research trends that suggest areas of strength, as well as challenges warranting further consideration.     

Gender Unemployment Dynamics: Evidence from Ten Advanced Economies

The paper investigates gender unemployment dynamics in 10 advances economies applying a recent methodology on widely available Labour Force Surveys data. We calculate the job finding and separation rates for each gender and use them to construct the steady‐state unemployment gap as well as two counterfactual gender unemployment gaps: one generated by differences only in job finding rates and the other by differences only in separation rates. We find that in all countries the gender unemployment gap attributed to differences in the job finding rate is lower than the gap attributed to differences in the separation rate, suggesting that gender differences in the separation rate are the major factor behind the gender unemployment gap.     

What Survey Data Reveal about Price and Wage Rigidity in Portugal

This paper exploits the information collected from a survey conducted on a sample of Portuguese firms to study the patterns of firms’ price and wage adjustments and the extent of nominal price and wage rigidities. The evidence shows that the frequency of price changes varies substantially across sectors and depends on the intensity of competition, the share of labor costs and firms’ price reviewing behavior. The results also suggest that the constraint imposed by the presence of downward nominal wage rigidity is less important in firms where the fraction of permanent and high‐skilled workers is lower and the share of flexible pay components is higher.     

THE DEMAND FOR LIQUID ASSETS,CORPORATE SAVING,AND INTERNATIONAL CAPITAL FLOWS

The recent period of capital outflows from emerging economies has coincided with an increase in their corporate saving. In this paper, we model corporate saving as a demand for liquid assets by credit‐constrained firms in a dynamic open‐economy macroeconomic model. We find that the implications of this model are very different from standard models, because the demand for foreign bonds is a complement to domestic investment rather than a substitute. We show that this complementarity is at work when an emerging economy is on its convergence path or when it has a higher TFP growth rate. This framework is consistent with a number of stylized facts found in high‐growth, high‐investment emerging economies.     

THE FAILURE TO PREDICT THE GREAT RECESSION—A VIEW THROUGH THE ROLE OF CREDIT

Much has been written about why economists failed to predict the latest crisis. Reading the literature, it seems that this crisis was so obvious that economists must have been blind not to see it coming. We approach this failure by looking at one of the key variables in this analysis, the evolution of credit. We compare the conclusions reached in the recent literature with those that could have been drawn from an ex‐ante analysis. We show that the effect of credit on the business cycle cannot be exploited from a policymaker's point of view.     

乡村教师文化回应性教育能力的理论阐释及实践探索

文化回应性教育能力主要包括态度与责任、认识与理解、技能与实践、反思与批判四个维度,以及乡土情怀、乡土知识、文化回应性教学能力、文化回应性课程能力、文化回应性评价能力、文化回应的敏感性六要目。目前,乡村教师责任担当存在理性与感性的相互割裂、乡土知识的认知与理解较为窄化零散、文化回应性教学设计和实施流于形式、文化回应性课程资源转化有限且碎片化、文化回应性评价内容和方法单一、文化回应性反思批判的敏感性薄弱等问题。基于此,需营造滋养乡村教师情感的乡村文化生态,构建文化回应的教师教育课程教学体系,聚焦乡村教育的实践情境搭建支持体系。     

普通高校公共体育教学的改革实验与结果分析

从体育课程设置、教学内容、教学组织形式、学生体育考核等方面对“三阶段式”体育教学改革进行分析,可以发现,“三阶段式”体育教学具有实效性,符合现阶段学生实际。由此也发现,体育教学方法、手段只有尽可能体现快乐健康教育的特点,才能取得好的教学效果。     

国外教师差别行为的研究现状与展望

近年来国外对教师差别行为的研究取得了较大的成就。文章从差别行为的研究范式、结构与测量及研究内容三个方面对该领域的现状进行描述,并在此基础上对该现象的未来发展趋势进行展望,以期人们能更好地把握该领域的发展轮廓,推动该领域的研究与发展。     

幼儿园教师教学效能感与园长保教领导力的关系

为考察幼儿园教师教学效能感与园长保教领导力的关系,对X省6市共784名幼儿园教师进行问卷调查。研究结果表明：幼儿园教师教学效能感总体处于中等偏上水平,其中教师自我效能信念水平最低;幼儿园教师对园长保教领导力有着较高水平的感知,园长保教领导力水平越高,幼儿园教师教学效能感越强;园长保教价值领导力与组织领导力能显著正向预测幼儿园教师教学效能感。应多主体协同提升教师的自我效能信念,聚焦提升园长保教价值领导力和关注发展园长保教组织领导力,以此促进教师教学效能感水平的提升。     

非营利组织视野下的高校教师管理

高校教师管理工作的关键在于如何帮助教师正视自身所承载的教育使命,处理好教育与科研、生存与发展、个体与组织等一系列关系。本文从高校的非营利组织特性入手,紧扣教师作为非营利组织成员应充分强调其职业理想与价值实现的这一特点,指出在高校教师管理中,尊重与保护教师的理想信念,构建积极有效的“对话”关系,分阶段地展开职业生涯规划,实现教师个体发展与高校发展的和谐统一。
