Resumen

CONDY, Janet. The development of an enabling self-administered questionnaire for enhancing reading teachers' professional pedagogical insights. S. Afr. j. educ. [online]. 2008, vol.28, n.4, pp.609-624. ISSN 2076-3433.

I explore the development and refinement, validation and implementation of a questionnaire to define teachers' perceived professional competencies in teaching reading skills and strategies in Grades 1-7 classes in developing countries. Using the Concentrated Language Encounter (CLE) programme, implemented and expanded annually between 2001 and 2005 in 4 900 new classrooms in schools in South Africa, I gathered and analysed theoretically coherent feedback data from more than 1 000 qualified, active reading teachers to establish a set of competencies describing teachers' professional understandings of their pedagogical reading tasks. The study was grounded in the social constructivist, sociolinguistic and psycholinguistic theories originating from the works of Piaget, Vygotsky, Cambourne, and Goodman. Their foundational principles, together with the South African Revised National Curriculum Statement were defined and applied to the derivation of all items in the questionnaire. The questionnaire evolved through three phases of validation. Throughout phases two and three, several cautious varimax normalized factor analyses and scree plots were engaged to refine and develop the questionnaire, within the context of teaching reading in South African schools. The emerging teaching reading themes can be fed back to teachers to improve aspects of their teaching reading.

Palabras clave : cautious varimax normalized factor analyses; competencies; Concentrated Language Encounter; multilingual; pedagogical; scree plot; social constructivist; sociolinguistic and psycho-linguistic; validation.
