Furthermore, a strong PTPS can aid students in better understanding and internalizing the school's values as outlined in the SVP. With a clear teaching approach, teachers can consistently convey these values to students. This means students not only receive lessons in academic subjects but also gain deeper insights into the values upheld by their school. Through this experience, students are more likely to internalize and adopt these values in their daily lives, helping them become individuals who embody "Smart with Integrity."
Therefore, the theoretical framework of this research encourages a deeper understanding of how PTPS can be an effective tool in supporting the realization of the SVP "Smart with Integrity." A robust PTPS serves as a means for teachers to integrate the school's values into their teaching, ultimately creating an educational environment consistent with the school's vision. Additionally, it has a positive impact on students, helping them understand and internalize these values, which, in turn, supports their development as smart and integrity-driven individuals in line with the school's vision.
Research Methodology
The research methodology to be employed in exploring the significance of teachers possessing Personal Teaching Philosophy Statements (PTPS) consists of several stages.
First, a literature review will serve as the initial step. In this stage, the researcher will conduct an in-depth search and understanding of the concepts of PTPS and the School Value Proposition (SVP) "Smart with Integrity." The literature review will involve the identification and evaluation of relevant literature sources related to the research topic. Significant data will be extracted from the selected literature.
Once an understanding of these concepts is obtained through the literature review, the research will progress to the quantitative phase. In this stage, the researcher will measure the impact of teachers owning PTPS on the school's success in internalizing the SVP "Smart with Integrity" among its students. The collection of quantitative data may involve surveys or questionnaires (attached) to be completed by teachers from the nine schools under investigation.
After data is collected from both of these stages, data analysis will be conducted. This analysis involves identifying patterns and relationships between teachers' PTPS and the school's success in internalizing the SVP "Smart with Integrity" in its students. The analysis aims to unearth profound insights regarding the impact of owning PTPS in an educational context.
To ensure the research's validity and reliability, the researcher will employ data triangulation. Data triangulation involves using multiple different data sources to validate findings. This will ensure that the research results are more dependable and not solely reliant on one type of data or method.
Finally, the results of the data analysis will be compiled into a research report. This report will encompass the primary findings of the research, along with relevant recommendations for teaching practices in the schools under the Tarakanita Foundation. Thus, this report will serve as a vital source of information that can be used to enhance understanding of the importance of Personal Teaching Philosophy Statements and to develop better educational practices within the school environment.
Here is an expanded survey table with 20 questions to measure the extent to which the possession of a Personal Teaching Philosophy Statement by teachers influences the success of the school in internalizing the SVP “Smart with Integrity” in their students:
