Over the last 20 years, there has been an increasing amount of opposition in political and media circles over how countries are ranked according to their academic achievement on internationally standardised examinations. This implies that a great deal of attention is focused on the things that people believe are keeping kids from learning. Since it was originally introduced twenty years ago, the OECD's Plan for International Student Assessment, better known as PISA, has sparked several discussions about education and "teacher quality". Long-standing disparities in student accomplishment have received less attention as a result of recent declines in both proportional and absolute performance (Scholes et al., 2017). Because "more than 40% of the leftover variation in indicators of academic achievement was measured at the class/teacher-level (when adjusted for individuals' history and intake characteristics)," the literature states, the focus of research has switched from people into teachers and classes. Developments such as the added value models of teacher The efficacy based on achievement among pupils on national standardised assessments, the return of formally inspections, and the establishment of statutory power which establish and regulate teacher standards and certification have put teachers under greater scrutiny than ever before (Sachs, 2016).

Leaders from the worlds of education, government, and business have been sending delegations to the greatest schools in the world since 2009. The "Asian tigers," which formerly included Finland, are now seldom mentioned in the same breath as Shanghai, Singapore, Hong Kong, and South Korea. The "Math's Mastery" methodology of teaching mathematics has gained a lot of attention. To determine its usefulness, researchers in England completed two randomised controlled trials including a total of 90 primary schools and 50 secondary schools. It has been suggested that disparities in methods for dealing with classroom noise and disorder may account for the relative ineffectiveness of behaviour control measures non countries like Australia (Bolton, 2019). The TALIS data, which demonstrates that more experienced instructors were evaluated better than their novice colleagues, would lead one to conclude that early-career educators are less successful. This is true despite the fact that novice educators are often placed in the most challenging classrooms. However, things are now as they are. Issues including uneven school financing and the dominance of positive and negative effects brought about by social isolation as a result of competitive school markets have received more attention. University beginning teacher preparation (ITE) programs have come under fire for failing to adequately prepare aspiring educators for life in the classroom. The Teacher Education Advisory Committee to the Ministers. Criticisms of behaviour management have often been described as "ideological" (Joseph, 2017). 

To determine whether or whether inexperienced instructors are less competent to handle the classroom behaviour of their pupils, no in-depth examination of the ITE curriculum has been done. Nevertheless, when ITE is combined with the term "teacher quality," it casts a negative light on the search for answers by labelling newly employed or recently graduated teachers as "the issue". Focusing too narrowly on ITE and the graduates it generates may cause us to ignore or neglect the actual nature and scope of the difficulties confronting school education, while focusing too broadly on either may overstate their relevance (Churchward, & Willis, 2019).

Most current teachers have bachelor's degrees and university teacher education supplanted Teachers College, a deficit framing of ITE is particularly pervasive. So, recent attempts to address "the issue" of low-quality education in Australia have concentrated on bolstering ITE graduates' qualifications and enhancing the quality of teacher preparation in higher education (Gore, 2016). The Teacher Performance Assessment (TPA), introduced in 2018 and tied to teacher education programme accreditation, is an extra requirement for university teacher education graduates. The TPA "uses evidence of classroom readiness evaluated by influence on student learning" to make its case that all Australian teachers should follow the same professional criteria (Mayer et al., 2017).

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY:

A large number of research measures exist, and many of them are incompatible with one another, adding more complexity to the situation. Graduate, beginning, and early career teachers are those with less than five years of experience in the pitch. Researchers that categories teachers as "unfamiliar," "specialist," "getting started," or "experienced" before specifying how long they have been teaching only serve to fan the flames of confusion regarding the skill levels of their teachers. There is minimal consensus found even when comparing experiences that are well described in published works (Gale, & Parker, 2017). According to another researchers, teachers with three years' experience or less are "rookies," while those with four years' experience or more are referred to as "seasoned." Groups in the earlier study researchers used the same observational measure of teaching quality, thus it is not able to compare the results of their studies directly. The study's overarching goal was to investigate the dynamics of mentoring relationships between "experienced" teachers and "novice" instructors who were either still in the midst of their own teacher preparation courses but were working in the same classroom as their mentor or had recently graduated from teacher preparation programmes (Brandenburg, McDonough, Burke, & White, 2016).

There is no universal agreement on what characteristics constitute a good educator. Both "effective" and "great" are used to describe educators; the latter is inferred from students' test results, although the former is used interchangeably. Teachers who are grade-obsessed risk not meeting their pupils' demands for individualised, high-quality education. This line of enquiry is driven by an "outcome-oriented perspective to education," which may result in ignoring the problem of rote memorization and excluding kids with special needs. Yet, some studies get to the meat of the matter by first defining what constitutes exceptional teaching and then searching for instances of this phenomena in actual classrooms. In these studies, "teacher effectiveness" refers to educators' capacity to promote students' cognitive, affective, and behavioral development (Mockler, 2018).

It is challenging to draw firm conclusions on the importance of experience and an indication of quality since research on the relationship between a teacher's many years of knowledge and the viewpoints and academic success of their pupils has produced contradictory results. Researchers examined instructors' witnessed teaching behaviors in the settings of classroom management, student social support, and education to ascertain the worth of professors' years of expertise. There is much speculation about the inefficiency of first-year instructors; thus, examining them in isolation may provide information on the connections between education and effectiveness. Even more importantly, seeing students' relationships with one another is crucial since it gives the most immediate proof of a teacher's effect on their development as learners. The public and political debate often reinforce the myth that instructors with more years of experience are inherently superior (Mayer et al., 2017). Years of teaching experience interact with students and the existing study, other variables in intricate, non-linear, and cyclical ways. Conflicting findings have resulted from efforts to investigate this profound connection being hampered by inconsistent notions of quality instruction and the terminology used to differentiate experience types. A wonderful classroom might mean very different things to different people. The results of standardised tests are frequently utilised as a benchmark to assess a teacher's efficacy (Scholes et al.,2017).

PROBLEM STATEMENT: 

“There haven't been many studies that employ direct tracking glasses to investigate whether or not more years of teaching experience leads to an improvement in instruction.”

It was determined, in the context of classroom monitoring, that the quality of the teacher was dispersed among all of the students rather than concentrating on a certain subset of them. When it comes to monitoring their classes, the scores of senior teachers were much higher than those of their counterparts with less experience on average. Teachers who lacked competence had a propensity to focus their efforts on a small number of students rather than spreading them out equitably over the full class. This was a problem since it prevented them from reaching all of the students. CLASS observation ratings, it became apparent that there was a more complex link at play, in particular with regard to the quality of comments. This led to the conclusion that the feedback they received was of a lower quality. On the other hand, experienced instructors kept up the same degree of constant visual monitoring in the classroom no matter whether they were given positive or negative feedback quality ratings. This was the same regardless of whether the feedback quality ratings were good or bad (Altrichter, and Moosbrugger, 2015).

LITERATURE REVIEW:

On the other hand, a person's level of success is inversely related to the number of years they've spent participating in the sport in question. In most cases, first-year instructors benefit the most from the years of experience that their mentors have, although the benefits eventually diminish for those who have been on the pitch for a longer period of time. Several studies conducted by CALDER have shown that first-year educators are not as effective as their more seasoned counterparts (Ladd, & Sorensen, 2017). Early professional experience has a stronger impact on teachers' efficacy than any other observable variable, including advanced degrees, scores on teacher licence examinations, primary-level National Board certification, and class size. This is the case despite the fact that advanced degrees, scores on teacher licence examinations, and class size are all included. Although though the vast majority of teachers feel as if they are becoming more productive during their first year of instructing, this trend often shifts in the other direction as teachers acquire expertise (Araujo et al, 2016). Research that was based on the data of New York City imply that the benefit of having more experience decreases with time. There is a much higher connection between the number of years of teaching experience that a teacher has and the level of accomplishment that their pupils attain in mathematics than there is in any other academic field. Studies like these and others like them show that educators with more than 20 years of experience have a success rate that is marginally higher than that of educators with fewer than 5 years of competence. According to research, the efficacy of instructors decreases during the course of their careers, particularly in the context of high schools. According to the findings of several studies, high school mathematics instructors with more than 25 years of experience may be less successful than their contemporaries who are either younger or have less experience (Sleegers et al, 2014).

It's possible that one legal solution to the issue of knowledge and competency inequalities between schools is to rotate instructors who have varying degrees of experience and education. Yet, this approach is based on the assumption that the disparity in the availability of teachers is a more significant issue than the disparity in the distribution of their qualifications. If the benefits of having an experienced teacher were constant across all educational situations, the performance gap may be decreased by dispersing instructors who do not have the required amount of experience (Lauen & Gaddis, 2016).

RESEARCH OBJECTIVES:

• To assess the role of teachers on student development and growth.

• To explore that the teaching experience is positively associated with student’s growth.

• To evaluate the qualities are necessary for a successful teaching career.

• To find the criteria should be used to judge the competence of a teacher.

• To examine the typical magnitude of the influence that excellent teaching has in terms of the results for students.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY:

In January 2022, a thorough cross-sectional study was conducted by researchers. A single point in time gathering data was required due to the cross-sectional design, which was rapid and inexpensive. The sample size of 600 was estimated using Rao-soft software; 800 questionnaires were circulated; 730 were returned; and 120 were excluded because they were incomplete. Convenience sampling was used to approach each respondent at the locations mentioned above. The respondents were requested to participate in a factory monitoring scheme. The researcher informed all those who chose to take part in the study and was available to them for any inquiries throughout the time they waited to complete their monitoring program. The researcher delivered the survey questions the category responses to respondents who illiterate before were recording their answers in the responses section as instructed. People receive questionnaires to fill out and return concurrently to certain locations.

Sampling:  Convenient sampling technique was used for the research. The sample size of the current research was 600 respondents who are teachers and students to draw conclusions.

Data and Measurement: Primary data for the research study was collected through questionnaire survey. The questionnaire was divided into two parts – (A) Demographic information (B) Factor responses in 5-point Likert Scale for both the online and non-online channels. Secondary data was collected from multiple sources, primarily internet resources. 

Statistical Software: MS-Excel and SPSS 25 was used for Statistical analysis.

Statistical tools: Descriptive analysis was applied to understand the basic.

CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK:

RESULTS: 

Factor analysis

Confirming the latent component structure of a collection of measurement items is a common utilisation Factor Analysis (FA). The scores on the observable (or measured) variables are thought to be caused by latent (or unobserved) factors. Accuracy analysis (FA) is a model-based method. Its focus is on the modelling of causal pathways between observed phenomena, unobserved causes, and measurement error.

The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) Technique may be used to determine if the data is suitable for factor analysis. To determine if they were sufficiently sampled, the whole model as well as each model variable are assessed. The possible shared variance among several variables is measured by the statistics. Generally speaking, the data will be more appropriate for factor analysis the lower the proportion..

KMO returns integers between 0 and 1. The sample is deemed adequate if the KMO value falls between 0.8 and 1.

Corrective intervention is necessary if the sample is inadequate and the KMO is below 0.6. You'll need to use your best judgement from 0.5 and 0.6, since some authors utilise a value of 0.5 for this.

• KMO Near 0 indicates that the total of correlations is small relative to the size of the partial correlations. To rephrase, extensive correlations pose a serious challenge to component analysis.

Kaiser's cutoffs for acceptability are as follows:

Kaiser's cutoffs for acceptability are as follows:

A dismal 0.050 to 0.059.

• 0.60 - 0.69 below-average

Typical range for a middle grade: 0.70–0.79.

Having a quality point value between 0.80 and 0.89.

The range from 0.90 to 1.00 is really stunning

Table 1: KMO and Bartlett’s Test 

This demonstrates the validity of assertions for sampling purposes. To further verify the relevance of a correlation matrices as a whole, it was tested using Bartlett's Sphericity Test. The adequacy value of Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin sampling is 0.921. It was found that the Bartlett's sphericity test has a p-value of 0.00. With a substantial test result, Bartlett's examination of sphericity demonstrated that the association matrix is not an identity matrix.

Hypothesis test

Teachers with more years of experience tend to maintain their students' improved performance throughout the duration of their careers. Teachers' effectiveness tends to develop most rapidly in the first few years of their careers, but this relationship persists even for individuals in their second and, increasingly, third decades of the profession. Standardized test scores aren't the only thing that improves when students have more seasoned teachers.

The following hypothesis was developed by the researcher in light of the preceding discussion which was analyse the relationship between experienced teacher and classroom teaching.

H₀₁: There is no significant relationship between experienced teacher and classroom teaching.

H₁: There is a significant relationship between experienced teacher and classroom teaching. 

Table 2: ANOVA

In this study, the result is significant. The value of F is 549.216, which reaches significance with a p-value of .000 (which is less than the .05 alpha level). This means “There is a significant relationship between conventional marketing and socio-demographic details” is accepted and the null hypothesis is rejected.

CONCLUSION: 

The primary purpose of this research was to investigate strategies for encouraging reflective practice among aspiring educators. The Reflective Behaving Attributes (RTA) questionnaire and the resulting Profile of Observant Attributes (PRA) survey are used to gauge how reflective educators, both novice and seasoned, are thinking (RTA). It may be useful to compare and contrast how reflective thinking develops in seasoned educators with those who are just starting out in the profession before deciding how best to support and foster reflective thinking among new instructors. That's why it's instructive to look at how both seasoned instructors and newcomers to the area approach critical reflection. It is thus possible that younger instructors will develop the same level of critical thinking as their more seasoned colleagues. Teachers' ability to think critically and introspectively may be greatly enhanced by their use of reflective thinking techniques. These methods of reflective thinking may help educators hone their own abilities of introspection and self-reflection, which in turn might assist their students.

LIMITATION:

This research aims to provide light on the ways in which educators evaluate the quality of the relationships they build with their students based on their own personal beliefs and standards. Despite the fact that the preferred site fulfilled all the criteria, it was finally chosen because of its accessibility. Middle school educators were singled out because of their commitment to their pupils. The research was supposed to involve focus groups at first. Those who were unable to attend the focus group may have had valuable insights that was overlooked. In an effort to simulate a focus group to conducted individual interviews due to a severe lack of participants. The conclusions of this investigation can only be grasped in their entirety by considering both time and space simultaneously. Both the number of poll participants and interviewees had an influence. The high level of similarity among the participants prevents generalising the results to the teaching population as a whole. Everyone who participated did so out of their own free will. Given the importance of students' varied viewpoints and experiences, this is just another challenge that must be met.
