APCLC-FEHD Learning Seminar: Can we compare teaching quality across countries? Assessing measurement invariance and uncovering differences in effective teaching and differentiation Dr. Ridwan Maulana, associate professor at the Department of Teacher Education, University of Groningen, The Netherlands, will conduct a Learning Seminar titled ‘Can we compare teaching quality across countries? Assessing measurement invariance and uncovering differences in effective teaching and differentiation’ for EdUHK faculty and students on October 21, 2019. Details of the seminar below:
About the Seminar: For decades, research in education has been on the search to understand effective teaching behaviour. Teacher effectiveness research has been successful in identifying characteristics of effective teaching behaviour. However, little is known whether or not the general characteristics of teaching behaviour translates across national borders due to lack of research evidence on tool comparability (measurement invariance) and insufficient research on teaching across countries using a uniform measure. The presentation will outline the importance of establishing measurement invariance for measuring effective teaching across countries and present some preliminary findings from several countries. Furthermore, indications of differences in teaching behaviour across countries will be outlined as well. In addition, differentiation in teaching as an important component of effective teaching will be highlighted. About Dr. Ridwan Maulana Ridwan Maulana is associate professor at the Department of Teacher Education, University of Groningen, The Netherlands. His major research interests include teaching and teacher education, factors influencing effective teaching including the use of digital learning environments, methods associated with the measurement of teaching, longitudinal research, cross-country comparisons, effects of teaching behaviour on students’ motivation and engagement, and teacher professional development. He has been involved in various teacher professional development projects including the Dutch induction programme (LONIE) and school-university-based partnership (OIDS). He is currently a project leader of an international project on teaching quality (ICALT3/Differentiation) involving countries from Europe, Asia, and Africa. He has been serving as a European Editor of an international journal Learning Environments Research, and as a reviewer of various international journals, a secretary/treasurer of Learning Environments SIG of American Educational Research Association, and a chair of Ethical Commission of Teacher Education Department of the University of Groningen. |
