CONCLUSION DISCUSSION AND RECOMMENDATION - A STUDY ON CLASS TEACHER COMPETENCY

CONCLUSION DISCUSSION AND RECOMMENDATION

This paper was a research on class teacher competency in Jiangsu Vocational College of Electronic and Information. The research included two research objectives, 1) To determine the class teacher competencies in Jiangsu Vocational College of Electronic and Information. 2) To compare the perception on the variable

depend on status, age, gender, education level and class level. The research tool used in this paper is an opinionnaire designed based on Spencer and Spencer's competency theory. The researcher selected 113 teachers and 262 students in different class year of Jiangsu Vocational College of Electronic and Information as respondents to investigate the class teacher competency in this college. The statistical methods used to analyze the data were: frequency, percentage, arithmetic mean, standard deviation, t-test and One-way ANOVA.

Conclusion

This research was carried out based on two research objectives, and the research conclusion based on the research result were as follows;

1. The research results showed that class teacher competency in Jiangsu Vocational College of Electronic and Information was at high level, which was contrary to the hypothesis 1 (The class teacher competencies in Jiangsu Vocational College of Electronic and Information is at the moderate level.) of this study, so hypothesis 1 was rejected. The arithmetic mean of each of the five dimensions ranged from 3.5 to 3.96. In first place was Skill, with an arithmetic mean of 3.98. In second place was Knowledge, with 3.70. In third place was Traits, with 3.61. In fourth place was Self-concept, which did not reach a high level, with only 3.48. The last dimension Motive did not reach a high level as well, and the arithmetic mean was the lowest, only 3.42. Overall, the arithmetic mean of these five dimensions was only 3.64. We could conclude that although class teacher competency was at a high level, the overall level of the five dimensions of Spencer and Spencer's competency theory in the main part of the opinionnaire was not too high.

2. There were no significant difference among class teacher competency and status, gender, age, education level and class level of teachers and students from Jiangsu Vocational College of Electronic and Information.

Discussion

Based on the results of the study, the following discussion can be drawn.

1. The research results show that although class teacher competency in Jiangsu Vocational College of Electronic and Information is at a high level, the results of each dimension based on feedback from teachers and students were not satisfactory. The overall level of all dimensions is high and low (range 3.5-3.96). Of the five dimensions, both self-concept and motives are at moderate level. There was one dimensions that performed relatively well, which was Skill with 3.96 arithmetic mean value. First of all, the reason for this result was that in the current Chinese education system, class teachers generally served as the class teacher and also serve as the teacher of a certain subject in the class and other classes. Affected by our country's exam-oriented education, after the exam, teachers' teaching achievements were also evaluated according to the students' exam results. For some teachers with weak working ability and not good at arranging their time and energy reasonably, they would inevitably ignore the class management and construction work while taking into account the academic performance. This was consistent with Lili's research findings. She believed that the excessive number of tasks will make it difficult for teachers to focus on completing his or her duties, thus resulting in the quality of the overall work not being guaranteed. In addition to teaching, the class teacher should also pay attention to the ideological situation of each student in the class in time, so as to find problems in time and solve them effectively in a timely manner. However, it is obviously impossible for a teacher to take care of every student in every aspect. Not only that, the class teacher must obey the school's relevant arrangements and adjustments while doing the teaching tasks and class construction, and deal with the parents of the students. It could be seen that the huge workload makes the class teacher unable to cover everything in many cases, which was prone to problems and is easily questioned by all parties. Another reason was that most of teachers in Jiangsu Vocational College of Electronic and Information were relatively young, and their experience in classroom management skills and knowledge was still at the theoretical stage, and they needed a lot of practice to

help them improve their own competence. Because of their busy teaching work, it was difficult for them to have the opportunity to study and reflect on the position of class teacher, and it was difficult to apply the relevant theories of class management to their daily work and play an effective role. Ruomei also mentioned the same point of view in her research. She believed that although young teachers had a good grasp of education theories, they did not have enough experience, so they needed to carry out training and practice as much as possible in the teaching process to improve themselves. In addition, the positions of many class teachers were uniformly arranged by the college. In fact, some class teachers had difficulty handling the relationship between class management and teaching, did not have the ability or traits to manage the class, and have insufficient internal motivation. The college's immature evaluation mechanism and incentive mechanism for the class teacher will also lead to the low quality of them. In order to make them competent for this job, it also leads to the insufficient level of competence of the class teacher. The findings of Guang et.al. 's study were consistent. In order to make teachers show better competence, teachers must be given enough extrinsic motivation and good evaluation mechanism to give them intrinsic motivation.

2. From the results of research hypothesis 2, the hypothesis was rejected.

This showed that there is no significant difference in comparison between status, gender, age, educational level and class level of teachers and students on class teacher competency in Jiangsu Electronic Information Vocational College. This result showed that teachers and students of different genders, different age groups, different educational backgrounds and different school years have the same opinion on class teacher competency in Jiangsu Vocational College of Electronic and Information. This indicated that all teachers and students selected as respondents generally believed that class teacher competency in Jiangsu Electronic Information Vocational College was at a high level, but because the overall level was not high enough, and two dimensions were still at a moderate level, so this there is still a lot of room for improvement to be a higher level. Yinlong and Xuedong also emphasized in their research that, as a head teacher, the key to improving

competence lied in improving all-round ability, including ideological and political literacy, organizational ability, investigation and research ability, language expression ability, knowledge and skills and learning ability.

Recommendations

Based on the data results of the opinionnaire and the discussion based on the results, the researchers made the following recommendations:

1. College class teachers should have solid professional basic knowledge and be able to guide students whether in professional, academic, or in class activities and life. At the same time, they should also have a certain knowledge of social psychology and be able to carry out work according to the characteristics of different students.

2. College class teachers should have certain organizational management skills and be able to effectively complete the tasks and activities of organizing classes. At the same time, the class teacher should have good communication and expression skills, not only able to communicate effectively with the students individually and as a whole, but also to deal with the relationship between the leaders and the parents of the students. In addition, the class teacher must find a balance between the daily teaching work and class management.

3. Colleges should focus on establishing a better evaluation and management mechanism for class teachers, and continue to carry out training to improve the competence of class teachers, so as to improve the attitude, confidence and sense of responsibility of teachers in the position of class teachers in their daily work. At the same time, this also helps to improve the ability and imagination of the class teacher to solve problems when faced with complex problems, and help them to complete their work better.

4. In the case of insufficient internal driving force of teachers serving as class teachers, colleges and universities can consider introducing some incentive

mechanisms, such as giving some incentives in the evaluation and promotion of professional titles or salaries, so as to enhance their motives to become better class teachers.
