The paper presents the competences a university teacher must have in order to enhance students' motivation in constructivism-based blended learning. Based on an analysis of the key constructivist claims of cognitive motivation, a model of teacher competences has been developed, taking into account functions, roles, competences, skills and performance statements relating to the activation and facilitation of students' intrinsic motivation to learn. The model of competences presented herein is different from the comprehensive models of teacher competences known from literature, because although it takes into account almost all of the most important aspects of learning and teaching, it still focuses on the competences that are most closely related (in the constructivist sense) to learning motivation. The authors treat this study as part of conceptual preparation for their empirical research on academic teacher competences in the field of students' motivation enhancement in educational strategies grounded in different educational paradigms.Date

Transforming Indonesia's Teaching Force : From Pre-service Training to Retirement - Producing and Maintaining a High-quality, Efficient, and Motivated WorkforceWorld Bank (World Bank, 2012-03-19)The report on the transforming
 Indonesia's teaching force is divided in two volumes.
 The executive summary is the first volume of a two-volume
 comprehensive report on teacher management in Indonesia.
 This volume summarizes the key findings of the detailed
 technical analysis in volume two, but with much greater
 focus on the key areas where policy reforms will likely
 generate a large impact in Indonesia. While volume two is
 aimed at public policy researchers and technical staff of
 the Government of Indonesia, this shorter volume provides
 policy makers and the general public a condensed version of
 the larger report's analysis, results, and recommended
 policy reforms for developing a better teaching force in
 Indonesia. This report not only can assist the government in
 setting up a future reform agenda, but also add value to
 ongoing educational reform in Indonesia, in terms of
 improving the effectiveness of reform and ensuring its
 institutional and fiscal sustainability.

What Matters Most for Teacher Policies : A Framework PaperWorld Bank (Washington, DC, 2014-09-15)Over the past decade, both developed and
 developing countries have become growingly concerned with
 how to raise the effectiveness of teachers. The growing
 focus on the need to strengthen the teaching profession to
 ensure better education results has encountered the problem
 that evidence on the policies that raise teaching quality is
 scattered, incomplete and, in some cases, presents
 contradictory findings. This paper provides a framework for
 analyzing teacher policies in education systems around the
 world in order to support informed education policy
 decisions. It provides a lens through which governments,
 World Bank staff, and other interested parties can focus the
 attention on what the relevant dimensions regarding teacher
 policies are, what teacher policies seem to matter most to
 improve student learning, and how to think about
 prioritization among competing policy options for teacher
 policy reform. The systems approach for better education
 results (SABER) - teachers initiative aims to collect,
 analyze, synthesize, and disseminate comprehensive
 information on teacher policies across countries around the
 world. The focus of the paper is the description of the
 conceptual framework to analyze and assess teacher policies,
 as well as a review of the evidence base that supports it.
 The document is organized as follows: section one provides
 an overview of the general approach, main components, and
 objectives of the framework, as well as an explanation of
 the evidence base that supported its development. Section
 two focuses on the first component of the framework, and
 describes the categories that are relevant to produce a
 comprehensive descriptive account of the teacher policies
 that are in place in a given education system. Section three
 focuses on policy guidance. Section four concludes
 presenting an account of how the framework is expected to
 evolve as new evidence on teacher policies becomes available.
