The National Institute of Education invites suitable applications for the position of Research Assistant on a 28-month contract at the Office of Teacher Education & Undergraduate Programmes.

Project Title: Examining the adaptability of Singapore Physical Education teachers: A case for the future of teaching

Project Introduction: Adaptability is the capacity to effectively react and respond in constructive ways to situations that can be characterized by change, novelty and uncertainty. In this programme of work, the tripartite model of adaptability will be used to examine Singapore Physical Education (PE) Teachers’ level of adaptability. The model involves cognitive, behavioural and emotional adaptability and refers to how an individual’s thinking, behaviour and emotions can be modified. In the context of PE teachers, the subject of PE is underpinned by a high level of variability and dynamism of the teaching environment as well as interaction among students and the PE teacher (e.g., physical classroom, CCA, outdoor education, values-based education). Unlike other subjects, the teaching and learning situation can transit quite quickly and there is greater uncertainty on the emergence of students’ learning behaviours as they interact with the learning task and environment.

In this programme of work, the research team would build on their previous research experiences and track records to i) examine how adaptable Singapore PE teachers are (Phase 1), ii) the factors that could impact the level of adaptability (e.g., perceived autonomy support, socio-demographic variables, resilience, and creativity) (Phase 1) and iii) if PE teachers with higher adaptability levels are more inclined to adopt innovative pedagogical practices (Phase 2).

Requirements:

• Bachelors Degree
• Experience in undertaking research pertaining to examining impact of intervention studies in the Singapore school context
• Competent in data science and statistics
• Competent in using R or Matlab
• Experience in conducting surveys and focus group discussions
• Responsible and hardworking

Responsibilities:

• Manage the research project
• Data collection
• Collecting, collating and analyzing data
