Dear colleagues, I am working on a research conference paper "Why isn't teaching popular anymore?" I invite education researchers from several countries (1 person from a country) to cooperate. At the moment I'm making up a questionnaire including the following sections: prestige / public perceptions; interest towards the profession / career aspirations; job security / safety; lack of teacher autonomy; stress and burnout; lack of trust; work-life balance / family commitment; career development / progress; salary; insufficient support; working conditions; student discipline and motivation; relationships with parents. Each section will involve 3-5 items. Anybody interested please contact me. Your contribution may range from a) writing / suggesting part of literature review; b) development of the questionnaire; c) applying the questionnaire in your country via social media and personal connections (I will need minimum 100 respondents from one country); d) any combination of the above. I plan to complete the research by the end of April, present it at IRCEELT conference (see www.ircelt.ibsu.edu.ge), then publish it, depending on the achieved quality, in the conference proceedings or a journal. If you believe that some of your colleagues might be interested, please share this information with him / her.
In articles I often come across phrases like "the majority of the respondents (e.g., 37%)"... Can one say so, or they should constitute at least 50%+?
I'm writing a book called "Fatherhood". It contains biographies of famous fathers and fathers of famous people, stories from fiction and movies, etc. One of the chapters will include people's stories. I welcome any stories dealing with you as a father or your father/step-father. It should be anonymous (unless you want otherwise), I only need the person's gender, country and city of residence. The minimum volume is 500 words, the maximum volume - 2.000 words. You can tell anything - your relationships, some amusing (or unpleasant) stories, why your father was an important person for you, what your (his) feelings were when you learned that you are going to be a father, etc. Thanks in advance!
