EFL teachers' perceptions of their self-efficacy towards teaching effectiveness: a case study in Chile

Guerrero Azócar, Andrés January 2017 (has links)
Tesis para optar al grado de Magíster en Lingüística mención Lengua Inglesa / In the face of educational reforms, the role that teachers play in the classroom appears to be of paramount importance to different stakeholders. In a growing demand for quality teaching accountability, teachers’ duty is to help students in acquiring knowledge. Thus teachers are assessed to guarantee quality teaching through various assessment procedures, as it has been identified that teaching effectiveness is an important factor contributing to ensure student achievement. On the other hand, there is compelling evidence supporting the link between teachers’ self-efficacy beliefs and student outcomes. The study reported in this thesis sought to provide evidence in regard to teachers’ self-efficacy beliefs as a key driver of teaching effectiveness, as it has been suggested that teachers’ self-efficacy beliefs may work as a strong predictor of teaching effectiveness. Through an instrumental qualitative case study design, this study investigated the sources of self-efficacy beliefs and the desired characteristics or attributes that an effective teacher of English as a foreign language should possess. Results were analysed from data collected through in-depth individual interviews, emerged from three teachers working in different educational settings (private language institute, private university, and a public university). This study yielded interesting results concerning efficacy for student engagement, efficacy for instructional strategies and the impact of student evaluation of educational quality (SEEQ) report on teachers’ self-efficacy beliefs. As a conclusion, the study’s findings seem to confirm that mastery experiences (the strongest source of self-efficacy beliefs) affect both teachers and students’ self-efficacy beliefs, resulting in a predictor of teaching effectiveness.

It can be characterised as an exploratory and descriptive study and takes a qualitative form based and supported by observations of teaching activities. Strategies for motivating and managing the Chilean classroom was written in 2011 by Martha Epperson and Michelle Rossman, two English language experts from Georgetown University. The objective of Epperson’s book is to propose strategies and activities to put into practice in Chilean language classroom in order to manage and motivate the students to learn the English language. Each section of the book contains suggestions and activities to apply in an English language classroom in Chile. The authors claim that all the activities and strategies in the textbook were proved in the Chilean language classrooms context up to forty-five students.

Meeting Point

Klapp, María Ignacia, Cifuentes, Felipe 06 1900 (has links)
TESIS PARA OPTAR AL GRADO DE MAGÍSTER EN ADMINISTRACIÓN / Klapp, María Ignacia, [Parte I], Cifuentes, Felipe, [Parte II] / Es un hecho que la economía y sociedad chilena está cada vez más abierta al mundo, por lo que la interacción con individuos de habla no hispana es más frecuente y de gran importancia en las carreras profesionales y en el desarrollo de emprendimientos. Por otro lado, la educación chilena ha avanzado en las últimas décadas en la enseñanza del inglés. Sin embargo, hay una brecha importante entre quienes tienen nociones básicas y quienes pueden expresarse fluidamente. En estos días los chilenos están dispuestos a pagar para reducir esta brecha, ya que esto les permite facilitar su interacción con extranjeros y a su vez permite un mejor desempeño en sus trabajos. Meeting Point busca potenciar a aquellos con nociones básicas de inglés para que avancen en su aprendizaje y puedan desenvolverse en diversos contextos en dicho idioma. Las sesiones grupales en diversos lugares de esparcimiento, la dinámica colaborativa entre participantes más el feedback personalizado constituyen una ventaja única que permite proyectar una buena entrada de Meeting Point al mercado de la enseñanza de lenguas extranjeras. A lo anterior se suman actividades de marketing dirigidas al segmento de clientes interesados en desarrollo personal mediante un equilibrio entre metodología y experiencia, esto permite proyectar un crecimiento sostenible. Meeting Point considera ponerse en marcha inicialmente en las comunas urbanas de Santiago tanto para personas como para empresas y organizaciones. El potencial de escalamiento a zonas semiurbanas como también a otras ciudades permite proyectar un fuerte crecimiento dentro de los primeros cinco años, lo que se traduce en positivos rendimientos al capital para sus socios a contar del segundo año. Asimismo, el payback se da luego de dos años y 10 meses. Para poder poner en marcha a Meeting Point es necesario lograr financiamiento por 10.000.000, para así poder cubrir parte del capital de trabajo mínimo equivalente a al mayor déficit de flujo de caja del primer año de funcionamiento, los restantes CLP 12,7 MM serán efectuados a través de inyección de capital de los socios fundadores. Con respecto a la rentabilidad, el proyecto presenta un VAN positivo por CLP 58 MM pesos al quinto año y un valor residual de la evaluación a perpetuidad de CLP 238 MM, por lo tanto es concluyente que el proyecto es rentable y que se debería invertir en él. La tasa de descuento calculada para este proyecto es de 18,68% anual. Lo mismo es corroborado con la TIR del negocio donde su valor al quinto año alcanza un 58%.
