Abstract

Teachers are a fundamental factor of quality in the educational process.Their professional beliefs configure teaching behaviours and conduct.The aim of this research was to analyse the professional beliefs of primary education teachers in the city of Valencia and to carry out a comparison between these beliefs and the variables Gender, Age, Professional Experience, Type of school and If they have children.A mixed methodology was used: quantitative, qualitative and comparative.We applied the Questionnaire on Teaching Competencies of Primary Education teachers, prepared, ad hoc, following the theoretical Model of Planned Action.A total of 371 teachers participated in the study, from both state schools and concertado (sponsored by a public voucher system) schools.After applying the appropriate statistics, the following results were obtained.Teachers perceived themselves to have very positive beliefs about the teaching-learning process in general terms.Significant differences were found according to gender, age, professional experience and type of school.In conclusion, a high self-perception regarding professional beliefs was found in all the teachers analysed.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
