Annotation:

Current trends and research in education indicated that teacher learning is a crucial link to student achievement. There is a void in the research regarding teacher preferences for delivery models in professional development Determining teacher preferences is an important component in professional development planning and the driving inquiry for this research. The purpose of this exploratory case study was to determine teacher preferences in delivery models for professional development and whether delivery models influenced teacher behaviors in the classroom. The primary theory for this study was based on andragogy, and the research was conducted under the conceptual framework of constructivist principles. Data collection included interviews with 10 classroom teachers using open ended questions. Data analysis included the extraction of themes and subthemes emerging from the interviews. Findings indicated teachers' preference for hands on professional learning opportunities and technology use in delivery models. Teachers also expressed an interest in being given a choice in the delivery model of their professional learning opportunities. Implications for positive social change focus on professional development planners and facilitators, who are encouraged to seek preferences from teachers to best meet the needs and interests of educators in order to advance changes in teacher behavior and subsequent improvement to student achievement.

Annotation:

Effective school to home communication encourages positive relationships that support student achievement. This study examines perceptions and preferences of teachers and parents to understand what constitutes effective communication between teachers and parents. Research questions examine the frequency of communication between teachers and parents, modes of communication, and the field and tenor of effective school to home communication. Data was gathered from teachers and parents of students in first through third grades, in a Southeastern Pennsylvania suburban school district. Two surveys were created aligning with current school to home communication literature focusing mainly on the field, tenor, and mode of language interactions. Each survey consisted of Likert-Type questions and included two open-ended responses. One survey gathered teachers’ perceptions and another, parents’ perceptions. The significance of this study stems from the importance of effective communication between the school and parents. Federal mandates require schools provide communication to parents. Previous studies indicated effective communication leads to parents being involved and engaged in a child’s education that in turn increases student academic and social progress (Epstein, 2001; Murphy, 2008; Stuck, 2004). The findings of this study indicated that parents and teachers place high value on the necessary components of effective school to home communication. This study found that teachers and parents were largely in agreement in their perceptions about the value of school to home communications. Teachers and parents believe that effective home to school communication helps them work together as a team to improve student learning.

This mixed-model study utilized the qualitative and quantitative data from high school teachers of one middle Tennessee school district and high school teachers of the Tennessee High School Speech and Drama League to determine if differences existed amongst the learning preferences of high school teachers in adult learning environments. All participants completed the Canfield Learning Styles Inventory to provide quantitative data. Members of an executive board completed a focus group questionnaire to provide qualitative data for the study. The study led to a recommendation that developers of professional development and school officials consider learning preferences because significant differences existed amongst the participants. Accounting for these differences could lead to more effective implementation of professional development content.

The knowledge-based economy, advances in information and communication technologies and new pedagogical perspectives all influence the need to improve competencies in the 21st century. Innovative educational ideas and concepts have transformed the roles of teacher educators and their students. Adequate technology training is therefore a prerequisite for the teacher educator to develop prospective teachers who can use new technologies to support and improve their students’ achievement gains. However, many of these efforts fail since they are mostly based on a formal, institutional delivery of instrumental knowledge and skills. Adequate technology training is a major factor that can help to promote the uptake of emerging technologies into the curriculum, which in turn benefits students (Yoon et al, 2007; Collins & Halverson, 2009; Earley & Porritt, 2014). This research seeks to add to current knowledge about teacher educators’ technology professionalisation and to provide an instrument for the purpose of mapping teacher educators’ technology learning preferences in the workplace. The technology learning preferences instrument (TLP-instrument) designed, implemented and evaluated in this research is intended to create a link between teacher-educators’ technology learning needs in the workplace and the way in which professional development programmes should be tailored to meet teacher educators’ evolving learning needs. The investigation employs a design-based research approach which is cyclical and appropriate for addressing complex problems in educational practice for which no clear guidelines for solutions are available. To collect and analyse the data, a mixed methods approach was used. The rationale for mixing both types of research is that qualitative and quantitative methods complement each other (Creswell & Plano-Clark, 2011). Findings in this dissertation and in follow-up research are intended to lead to more effective technology professionalisation programmes through suggestions for better design and development based on teacher educators’ learning needs.

The first purpose of this study was to describe collegiate band members' preferred teacher interpersonal behaviors and perceptions of self-efficacy based on the gender, year in college, instrument, and major. The second purpose of the study was to measure the relationship between preferences of interpersonal teacher behavior and self-efficacy scores. The non-probability purposive sample (N = 1020) was composed of band members representing 12 universities from different regions of the United States. There were 4 large public, 4 small public, and 4 private universities that participated in the study. Participants completed 2 questionnaires, the Teacher Interaction Preference Questionnaire (TIPQ) and the Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (SEQ). Descriptive statistics were calculated for each of the questionnaires. Results for the TIPQ showed that all sub-groups most preferred the dominant-cooperative behaviors, followed by submissive-cooperative behaviors, and least preferred the dominant-oppositional behaviors. Results for the SEQ showed subtle variations for all subgroups. Three Pearson product-moment correlation coefficients were calculated to measure the relationship between the three teacher interaction styles (dominant-cooperative, submissive-cooperative, dominant-oppositional) and students' perceived self-efficacy. Due to the possible over-use of the data with multiple correlations, a Bonferroni adjustment was made to avoid a Type I error (.05/3 = .016). A significant positive relationship was found between self-efficacy and dominant-cooperative with 22% shared variance. A significant positive relationship was found between self-efficacy and submissive-cooperative with 7% shared variance. Finally, a significant positive relationship was found between self-efficacy and dominant-oppositional with 5% shared variance. This study's results indicate that it may be beneficial for band directors to measure students' preferences and perceptions of teacher interpersonal teacher behavior in order to find ways to interact better with the students. In addition, due to the relationship between students' preferences of teacher interpersonal behavior and perceived self-efficacy, collegiate band directors may wish to examine their own behaviors to determine how they align with the students' preferences.

Annotation:

There is an enormous educational disparity among schools in the United States. One reason for this disparity is the teachers employed by well-performing schools and low-performing schools. This study reports the factors and financial tradeoffs that would influence well-qualified teachers to work in low-performing schools. Teacher employment is viewed as a set of discrete choices made over time and based on a finite group of factors. This study uses a multinomial discrete choice experiment to determine how the school-related factors (alternative-specific variables) and teacher-related factors (case-specific variables) influence the willingness of experienced teachers in well-performing schools to transfer to low-performing schools. A discrete choice experiment (DCE) using an optimal, fractional factorial, experimental design (D-efficiency = 96.5 and A-efficiency = 92.9) with an adequate sample (n =111) was employed. The data are analyzed using alternative-specific conditional logistic regression, nested logistic regression, and latent class conditional logistic regression. The latent class conditional logistic regression with 3-classes was deemed the best fit and its results were interpreted. The first class has high job satisfaction and generally stays in their current school. The second class is most likely female and does not value salary, but rather better student behavior and school climate. The third and largest class has similar values with Latent Class 2, but fiscal incentives could impact their decision. This study shows that teachers are willing to work in low-performing schools, but school- and teacher-related factors impact the overall attractiveness to well-qualified teachers.

Annotation:

Un aspect pertinent du domaine de la rédaction en langue seconde concerne les préférences des enseignants et des élèves en ce qui a trait à la rétroaction corrective à l’écrit (RCE). Le but de cette étude était d'examiner les préférences de la RCE des étudiants (n = 106) ghanéens et des professeurs (n = 5) de français langue étrangère (FLE) au niveau universitaire. Ainsi, un plan de recherche mixte a été utilisé pour recueillir des données sur la préférence des élèves et des enseignants à l'égard de l'enseignement de la grammaire dans leur classe de rédaction, le type et la quantité de rétroaction qu'ils préfèrent, le type d'erreur sur lequel ils préfèrent donner des rétroactions et les facteurs contextuels qui portent une influence sur leurs préférences. Des questionnaires et des entrevues semi-structurées ont été utilisés pour collecter les données. Les résultats de l'étude ont montré que les étudiants et les professeurs accordaient une grande importance à l'enseignement de la grammaire et à la rétroaction sur les erreurs. Ce résultat s’accorde avec le constat de Bisaillon (1991) que chez les apprenants d’une langue seconde ou d’une langue étrangère, la maîtrise de la grammaire s’avère d’une très grande préoccupation à la différence de ceux qui rédigent des textes en langue maternelle. Comme dans les contextes d’anglais langue étrangère (Alshahrani et Storch 2014; Chung, 2015; Elwood et Bode, 2014; Hamouda, 2011), les étudiants de français langue étrangère de cette étude préféraient la rétroaction directe. Comme facteur contextuel, l’étude a également éclairé comment la formation des enseignants influence l’utilisation des stratégies de rétroaction et l’enseignement de l’écriture. Compte tenu du fait que les études antérieures sur la RCE ont trait aux contextes d’anglais langue étrangère, cette étude contribue à nos connaissances dans ce domaine à l’égard des contextes de français langue étrangère
The preferences for written corrective feedback (WCF) by teachers and students is one area of relevance in second language writing. The aim of this study was to investigate the WCF preferences of Ghanaian students (n = 106) and teachers (n = 5) of French as a Foreign Language (FFL) at the university level. To achieve this purpose, a mixed research design (qualitative and quantitative) was used to gather and analyse information about students and teachers’ perception of grammar instruction in their writing class, their preferred type and amount of feedback, their preferred type of error to be corrected and the contextual factors that influenced their preferences. Questionnaires and semi-structured interview protocols were used to collect the data. The results of the study show that both students and teachers accorded a great importance to grammar instruction and feedback on errors. This finding echoes Bisaillon’s (1991) contention that for second and foreign language learners, mastering the structures of the language is a major preoccupation unlike for writers in their first language who have already mastered most of the structures needed for essay writing. As in English foreign language contexts (Alshahrani & Storch 2014; Chung, 2015; Elwood & Bode, 2014; Hamouda, 2011), the FFL students of the present study preferred direct feedback. As a contextual factor, the study also shed light on how the teachers’ educational background was implicated in their approach to the teaching of writing and feedback practices. As previous studies on WCF have been limited to English foreign language contexts, this study contributes to research with respect to French foreign language contexts.

Annotation:

This study examines the relationships between foreign language learning beliefs and preferences of 2 Vietnamese learners and beliefs and practices of 2 Native English speaking teachers in a private English school in Vietnam. The learners were not satisfied with learning English in public schools and had many expectations on the course and the teachers while the teachers had to make their learners pleased. Beliefs were reviewed as determinations of actions; beliefs entail knowledge, values, and attitude, and relate closely to identity and experience. The researcher adopted an interpretivist paradigm and three qualitative methods: Repgrid interview, Stimulated recall interview, and The COLT as an observation schedule. The interview data was coded inductively with content analysis method to build up the subjects’ beliefs and belief systems. Then, the systems were compared to find the relationships between their beliefs. To see how their beliefs related with learning preferences and teaching practices, the researcher analysed what they said and made use of the video record of their classroom activities; besides, the teachers’ beliefs were compared with the timing calculation of the activities in their classes. The results showed that beliefs about language learning affected strongly the participants’ preferred ways of teaching and learning and there were tight matches between the teachers’ beliefs and actions in class. There were influences of beliefs of the teachers and learners on each other, they were not direct influences but through their interpretations of the classroom events. However, the influences from the teacher were much clearer. After the course, the learners’ preferences and beliefs about some learning activities were changed and became more reflective. They also started to recognize the benefits of different ways of learning English. Meanwhile, the teachers’ interpretation of their learners’ expectations, learning preferences, and levels strongly affected what and how they taught.

Der volle Inhalt der Quelle

Annotation:

Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often require early intensive behavioral interventions (EIBI) to improve their skills in a variety of domains. Error correction is a common instructional component in EIBI programs because children with ASD tend to make persistent errors. Ineffective error correction can result in a lack of learning or undesirable behavior. To date, research has not systematically investigated the use of reinforcement during error correction for children with ASD. This study compared the effects of correcting errors with and without reinforcement and their impact on preferences of young children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Four boys with ASD between 3 to 7 years old in China participated in this study. In the context of a repeated-acquisition design, each participant completed three sets of matching-to-sample task under the two error-correction procedures. During the error correction with reinforcement condition, the participants received the reinforcers after correct responses prompted by the researcher following errors. During the without-reinforcement condition, the participants did not receive any reinforcers after prompted responses. The number of sessions required to reach mastery criterion under the two conditions varied among the participants. Visual analysis did not confirm a functional relation between the error-correction procedures and the sessions required to reach mastery. With regard to children’s preferences, three children preferred the with-reinforcement condition and one preferred the without-reinforcement condition. The findings had conceptual implications and suggested practical implications relating to treatment preference.

Annotation:

One of the major priorities for community colleges is to focus on the pedagogical tools that will allow students to achieve excellence and quality in curriculum and instruction to meet the changing societal needs (Shearon & Tollefson, 1989). Rapid demographic, social, and technological changes demand that community colleges produce self-directed lifelong learners (Closson, 1996). The study of student learning preferences for more teacher-directed or more self-directed learning is one of the concepts that is important in enhancing teaching and learning practices. The purpose of this study was to examine students' teacher-directed versus self-directed learning preferences in specific courses. The possible relationships among age, gender, and academic majors and the learning preferences (teacher-directed or self-directed) were also explored. The revised version of Learning Style Preference Questionnaire (LSPQ) originally designed by Hinkle (1990) was administered to 563 students at five selected community colleges in the southeast. The majority of the participants were female traditional students majoring in the natural sciences. The sample showed a preference for teacher-directed orientation in specific courses. Statistically significant differences were observed in the magnitude of the teacher-directed orientation between the mean scores of male and female students with male students scoring significantly higher than the female students. Traditional students obtained significantly higher mean scores on the items addressing the delivery of instruction than the nontraditional students. Nontraditional students obtained significantly higher mean scores on the items addressing the testing of learning. Gender had an impact on the magnitude of the teacher-directed learning preferences for evaluation and testing of learning. Academic majors had an impact on the magnitude of the teacher-directed learning preferences for evaluation of learning. Students in this study preferred a teacher-directed approach to learning. Follow-up research using a variety of instruments may investigate how this preference contributes to or affects academic achievement. It is recommended that the methods and procedures adopted in this study be replicated in other community colleges across the nation. Learning preference concepts and methods should be developed at the community college level to include professional development of instructors so that they may better provide learning opportunities for their students. Such studies may also be conducted in other parts of the world to determine how cultural differences may impact on learning preferences.

Annotation:

Despite high achievement by many Māori (indigenous people of Aotearoa New Zealand) students there is still a disparity between the achievements of Māori students and Non Māori students in the New Zealand educational context. Given that over 85% of Māori students are currently in mainstream settings rather than Māori medium settings the Government has initiated and supported teacher professional development approaches in efforts to enhance teacher effectiveness for teachers working with Māori in mainstream settings. This investigation looks specifically at the practice of four teachers who have been on the Te Kauhua/Māori in Mainstream Pilot project in a decile1 5 Intermediate school in the South Island of New Zealand. An important aspect of this investigation is that it listens to and includes the voices and opinions of eight students who are in the classes of these teachers. Early on in the Te Kauhua project teachers at the school articulated that it was the lack of engagement from their Māori students that was the problem and they wanted to look at ways in which they could maximise Māori student engagement in the classroom learning contexts. The particular aim of this investigation was to look at specific strategies and practices that teachers used to successfully maximise Māori student engagement in the classroom curriculum. The results highlighted the importance of the quality of the relationship between the teacher and the students, the positive impact of the extra effort that teachers applied to engage their students and the students’ preferences for working in small groups. Underpinning these aspects of practice was the importance that teachers placed on developing their reflective practice and the participation in small learning professional learning groups.

Annotation:

The implementation of learning styles models in the classroom remains a heavily debated topic in education. Notable problems with utilization of learning styles in the classroom include a lack of empirical research support and potential maladaptive effects on student learning and motivation. The primary research questions focused on the presence and quantity of learning styles discussion in the text, which definitions, models, and recommendations were presented, and which of the cited references were based on empirical data. The answers to these questions were compared between educational psychology and introduction to education textbooks. A content analysis of introduction to education (n = 10) and educational psychology (n = 10) textbooks was conducted. Eighty percent of the textbooks included a discussion of learning styles. Half of the textbooks defined learning style as a preference or approach and the other half as an individual process or style. One-fourth of the textbooks recommended matching instructional methods to learning styles. One comparison of text types, the number of empirical references cited in the text, was statistically significant. Given that most textbooks do not recommend matching instructional methods to learning styles, future research should examine the source of teachers’ beliefs that student learning is improved with the matching of learning styles to teaching approach.

Annotation:

The increasing cultural diversity in the United States has brought not only richness, but also complex challenges, to various segments of American society, particularly with regard to public schools. As the student population continues to diversify while teacher population remains predominately White, female, and middle class, teacher awareness in the classroom might be an integral piece to assist students marginalized by stereotypes in feeling more empowered in the school community. Through qualitative data collection and analysis, and framed by Basil Bernstein’s language code theory, this study explored teachers’ perceptions of how classroom interactions, in light of differences in communication, might impact students of different socio-economic backgrounds from the teacher. The findings of this study indicated that the participants expressed a desire to connect with all of their students, regardless of their background. They also discussed challenges that made relationships difficult, such as feelings of disconnect from their Title I students and their families based on differences in home life and background. This dissonance was often difficult for the participants to reconcile due to pressures and difficulties in their teaching situations, such as the large number of students and the scheduling of classes, curricular pressures, and other district expectations such as after-school ensembles. Implications for practicing music teachers and teacher education include ways to understand students’ communities and rethinking ways of approaching relevant terminology in education.

Examensarbetets syfte var att undersöka preferenser för olika mellanmålsdrycker, avsedda för skolbarn och som enbart var tillverkad av skånska vegetabilier. Ett ytterligare syfte var att studera lärares uppfattningar av elevernas koncentrationsförmåga under lektionstiden innan lunch. Som ett första led i att utse tre mellanmålsdrycker till ett preferenstest bland skolelever utfördes två konsensusprofileringar. Första profileringen utfördes med experter inom produktutvecklingsområdet där fyra dryckesprototyper profilerades och den andra profileringen utfördes med en studentpanel där 3 vidareutvecklade prototyper profilerades. Preferenstestet utfördes med barn som deltagare för att utse vilken av de tre prototypdryckerna som barnen ansåg som favorit. Favoriten skulle användas till ett projekt vid namn Skolskjutsen. För att ta reda på lärares uppfattning kring elevernas koncentrationsförmåga innan lunch utfördes en kvalitativ mailundersökning med sex deltagande lärare. Resultatet från profileringarna visade att prototyperna skiljde sig från varandra i fråga om egenskaperna utseende, doft, smak och konsistens. De två utvalda mellanmålsdryckerna från profilering 1 var båda söta och mindre sura, den nya framtagna prototypen som profilerades i profilering 2 ansågs både vara för sur och mindre söt i smaken. Preferenstestet visade att barnen signifikant föredrog svartvinbärsdrycken framför mixdrycken i smak, utseende och i helhet. Svartvinbärsdrycken var mer söt och mindre sur i smaken jämfört med mixdrycken. Det var endast ett fåtal av barnen som föredrog mixdrycken som var minst söt och mest sur i smaken. Slutsatsen av preferenstestet är att majoriteten av barnen i studien föredrog drycker som smakar sött och inte allt för surt. För majoriteten av barnen är det smaken som är den avgörande faktorn. Lärarna anser att barnen är mest koncentrerade på skoldagens start och är minst koncentrerade sent på eftermiddagen. Lärarna som deltog i studien anser även att barnen är hungriga och mindre koncentrerade timmen innan lunch. De undviker att ha mer krävande lektioner som matte och svenska timmen innan lunchen.
The thesis aimed to examine preferences for different snack drinks for school children, and that alone was made from Scania vegetables. A further aim was to study teacher’s perceptions of students' ability to concentrate during class time before lunch. As a first step to appoint three snacks drinks to a preference test among school students were two consensus profiling conducted. First profiling was conducted with experts in the field where four beverage prototypes were profiled and the other profiling was performed with a student panel where three further developed prototypes were profiled. The preference test was conducted with children as participants to select which of the three prototype drinks the children considered favorites. The favorite would be used for a project called Skolskjutsen. To find out the teachers 'perception of students' ability to concentrate before lunch was performed a qualitative email survey with six participating teachers. The results from the profiling have showed that the prototype differed from each other in terms of characteristics appearance, aroma, flavor and texture. The two snack drinks from profiling one was both sweet and less sour, but the new developed prototype which was profiled in profiling 2 considered being too acidic and less sweet in taste. The preference test showed that children significantly preferred the black currant drink before the mix drink in taste, appearance and in full. Blackcurrant drink was sweeter and less acidic in flavor compared to the mix drink. There were only a few of the children who preferred the mix drink that was least sweet and most acidic in taste. The conclusion of the preference test is that the majority of children in the study preferred the beverages that taste sweet and not too acid. For the majority of children, it is the taste that is the determining factor. The teacher’s view that children are most concentrated on the start of the school day and is least concentrated in the late afternoon. The teachers who participated in the study also consider that the kids are hungry and less concentrated the hour before lunch. They avoid having more demanding classes as math and Swedish before lunch.

Listeners’ perceptions toward children with communication disorders as well as the interpersonal experience of these children have been studied extensively by speech and language field and psychology field in the western countries. However, little is known about peers’ attitudes and social acceptance toward children with voice problems in the Chinese population. The current study examined the attitudes of peers and teachers toward children with different severity levels of voice problems; and evaluated how such attitudes could impact on the social acceptance of these children. Specifically, peer acceptance and teacher preference were investigated. Eighteen speakers (nine children with voice problems and nine vocally healthy children as controls) and 60 listeners (30 children and 30 teachers) participated in the study. Listeners were asked to provide attitude and acceptance ratings after listening to the voice samples of the speakers. For both groups of listeners, children with dysphonic voices were given significantly lower scores (i.e., less favorable) than children with normal voices in all the attitude ratings and acceptance ratings (both groups ps < .001). Moreover, the more severe the voice problems, the less positive the attitude and acceptance ratings the speakers received from the listeners. The attitude ratings and acceptance ratings made by the children listeners and teacher listeners did not differ significantly from each other (ps > .05). The results suggested that children with dysphonic voices were not only perceived less favorably on all attitude ratings than children with normal voices. They were also less socially accepted by peers and teachers. These findings provided valuable information and insights to the parents, educators, and speech-language pathologists on the potential impacts of pediatric voice disorders on listeners’ perception and children’s interpersonal experience.

Annotation:

Within public schools, teachers and instructors may require training to implement procedures listed in a behavior intervention plan (BIP) to support students with disabilities. It is crucial that teachers receive training that is both effective and efficient. Behavioral skills training (BST) and video modeling are two training modalities that are proven to be effective for a wide range of skills and learners. Written instructions, although they are not supported as an effective training method in the literature, can be used as task analysis for the steps that are needed to be performed for a procedure. At present, there is no standard for training teachers to implement BIP procedures and potentially effective training methods may be impacted by the amount of time training or the intensity of the training procedure. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to assess teacher preference for training modalities and to assess the feasibility of each modality in terms of training time and intensity. The participants in this study overwhelmingly selected self-assessments for both pre- and post-assessment evaluations as well as written instructions for their training modality.

Annotation:

Disruptive behavior within classrooms is a major concern for teachers and parents. Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) provides a multi-tiered framework for schools to provide supports to students, which are matched to each student's needs. Whereas most students are successful with the school-wide supports provided to all students, approximately 20% of students are likely to require additional supports. Group contingencies have an established basis of support as effective Tier 2 interventions; however, these contingencies vary in a variety of dimensions that may influence their efficacy and acceptability. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relative impact of four different group contingency types (independent, interdependent, dependent, and randomized) on class-wide appropriate and disruptive student behaviors as well as how implementation of a teacher's preferred contingency may enhance student behavioral outcomes. Three general education teachers and their students participated in the study. All four group contingency types resulted in reduced disruption and increased appropriate behavior across all three classrooms. No patterns of differentiation were observed in any classroom. Teacher preference was assessed with two teachers selecting independent and two teachers selecting dependent contingencies as their preferred reward system. Implementation of the preferred contingency resulted in further improvements in both class-wide behaviors. Some evidence of generalization and maintenance was noted in all three classrooms.

Annotation:

This study investigates the beliefs and practices of writing tutors regarding written corrective feedback (WCF) in a Saudi Arabian university. The central focus of this work is threefold: (a) the relationship between teachers’ beliefs and practices regarding the provision of WCF on students’ L2 writing, (b) the factors that prevent teachers from enacting their beliefs into practices, and (c) the relationship between students’ preferences and teachers’ practices regarding WCF. Ten writing tutors and their thirty students at the English language and Literature department at the University of Dammam participated in this study. Semi-structured interviews were utilized to understand teachers’ beliefs and students’ preferences. In order to understand teachers’ actual WCF practices, teachers were observed while teaching writing over almost a full semester. The think-aloud protocols of teachers while providing feedback on their students’ writing were examined and teachers’ feedback on student writing was analysed. Finally, stimulated-recall interviews were conducted to understand the factors that influence teachers’ WCF practices. The study showed both congruence and tensions between teachers’ beliefs and practices. Teachers’ beliefs were greatly congruent with their practices regarding the amount and focus of WCF. Conversely, teachers’ beliefs were incongruent concerning the explicitness of WCF, the use of positive feedback, and the source of WCF. Several contextual factors related to the university overall context (e.g. time allocated to cover the syllabus), teachers (e.g. teaching experience), and students (e.g. proficiency levels) were found to affect teachers’ practices. As for the relationship between students’ preferences and teachers’ practices, complete congruence was found in terms of teachers being the key providers of feedback. Conversely, students’ preferences were incongruent with teachers’ practices regarding the explicitness of WCF, the focus of WCF, and the provision of positive feedback. Finally, although students valued teachers’ WCF and placed a great importance to it, they faced difficulties understanding some of their teachers’ comments. This study concludes by providing some implications which could serve more than one purpose by creating knowledge which will be useful for researchers in the field of language teacher cognition and WCF.

Annotation:

Abstract Previous research has demonstrated that non-contingent reinforcement (NCR) and differential reinforcement of other behaviors (DRO) are effective procedures in reducing problem behavior of children both in and out of the classroom. However, few studies have assessed which procedure is most socially acceptable among teachers. In addition, studies have not recorded data on fidelity of implementation among teachers. A non-concurrent multiple baseline across teachers design was used to (a) demonstrate the effect of NCR and DRO on the problem behaviors of school aged children with no identified developmental disability, and (b) assess implementation fidelity of each procedure by the teacher. This study further assessed which procedure was preferred by teachers by the addition of questionnaires and a choice phase in which teachers ultimately chose which procedure to implement. Results showed that both procedures significantly reduced problem behavior across all participants, with the DRO procedure having the greatest effect. The procedure that was preferred most by teachers varied across participants. One of the three participants preferred the NCR procedure, one preferred the DRO procedure and the last participant gave mixed results between the procedure she said she preferred in the surveys and the procedure she chose to implement in the final choice phase.

Annotation:

All too often faculty are asked to implement technology into their teaching without the knowledge necessary to use the technology effectively. Due to the evolution of technology in everyday settings, students have come to expect to be engaged through technological means. This often creates undue stress on faculty members. The purpose of this study is to investigate technology integration by exploring the relationships between a faculty member’s technology preferences and educational beliefs. Through a mixed method, this study attempts to address the question of why faculty use the types of technology they do. More importantly, this study investigates if a faculty member’s educational beliefs have any influence on the technology they choose to use. Thirty-two medical, clinical, and healthcare faculty members participated in the study. They responded to a Teaching Perspectives Inventory (TPI) survey and a Technology Preferences survey with open-ended questions. Data analysis revealed multiple statistically significant findings between different beliefs and different types of technology. The results indicated that personal epistemic beliefs influence the types of technology faculty use. The technology choices faculty make are largely related to tools they are comfortable with and ones they believe effectively fit their teaching materials. The study also found statistically significant differences between age, gender, and reported technology use. It is suggested faculty development programs should consider faculty members’ educational beliefs and personal preferences when supporting faculty with their uses of technologies.

Previous research on implementer preference for behavioral interventions is limited. This study empirically evaluated teachers’ preference for implementing two types of token economies in a classroom to increase on-task behavior of students. The two types of token economies were response cost and differential reinforcement of alternative behavior implemented using an interdependent group contingency. The results showed both teachers preferred response cost over differential reinforcement of alternative behavior.

This study was designed to analyze if preferences for certain statistical representations existed for a group of pre-service secondary mathematics teachers. Twenty-three surveys were distributed to two classes of pre-service teachers enrolled in a mathematic education course and 18 competed surveys were returned. Questions on the survey focused on five major statistical ideas: (1) typical value for a data set, (2) standard deviation, (3) spread/distribution of a data set, (4) recognition/effect of outliers, and (5) comparing two or more data sets. Students were asked to indicate the representation that they found most helpful in answering these questions. Students chose from box plots, dot plots, histograms, and data tables. The conclusions drawn from this study involved the use of two types of statistical analyses combined with observed trends within the data. A goodness of fit test determined that within each of the main ideas, representational preferences existed. Confidence intervals were used in combination with observed preferences to determine if and where individual representational preferences existed. The results indicated that these pre-service teachers typically focused on median as typical value for a data set, felt that any of the graphs could be used to determine distribution, lacked a complete understanding of standard deviation, and that their initial focus on individual points when recognizing outliers developed into a more global view of the data as they reasoned about the outliersâ effects. Discussions and implications from this survey along with recommendations for future research are included.

Students who have learning difficulties generate a resource to assist them with their schoolwork. This resource has been delivered in a number of different ways. In the last decade the introduction of inclassroom assistance has been adopted in several states in Australia including the Australian Capital Territory. This method of service delivery of the resource has been considered to be helpful as it allows the student to remain in the classroom while still receiving the necessary assistance. The proponents of this delivery method believe that the students prefer remain in the classroom. Critics of this delivery method consider that it is not easy to address basic skill deficits in the classroom and that students find being helped in the classsroom embarrassing. This study examines the preference for service delivery model of three groups of population, students, classroom teachers and teachers of students with learning difficulties. A survey was used to ascertain the preference of these three groups, why they preferred a model, which model they regarded as most efficacious and why. Other specific questions were asked of each group. Interviews were also conducted with ten percent of each group and also with the principal and the counsellor from each school. Some illumination of school climate and other variables which may affect data was sought from the interviews. Teachers were found to prefer a mixed model of service. Students' results showed a preference for two models over a third, small classes, which was not favoured. Students also saw these two models as most efficacious. Interviews revealed a satisfaction with the service amongst students but some concerns about the delivery of the service and the decision making processes amongst teachers.

Enginarlar September 2010, 161 pages This study aimed to investigate L2 writing instructors&rsquo
perceptions of seriousness of different mistake types in upper-intermediate level students&rsquo
essays. It also set out to examine the teachers&rsquo
preferences related with feedback provision. Furthermore, whether there were discrepancies between the teachers&rsquo
claims about the issues mentioned above and their actual performance while marking the essays was looked into. The study was conducted at the Preparatory School of a private university in Turkey. Ten essays written by upper intermediate level students were marked by ten writing teachers who showed the most disturbing mistakes in these essays. They also gave feedback for these papers and half of the teachers were requested to think aloud while evaluating the essays. In addition, a questionnaire and a semi-structured interview were used by the v questionnaire were analyzed through SPSS 15.0. This data gathering instrument was implemented on ten writing teachers working at the institution. In analyzing the data, descriptive statistics were used. The averages showing the seriousness of different mistake types and the frequency at which the teachers use different feedback techniques were revealed. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with five teachers. The results of the interviews were analyzed through content analysis. The results of the study revealed that 80 % of the teachers viewed content related and organizational problems more disturbing than those related with accuracy. However, for 20 % of the teachers mistakes concerning the accuracy of the sentences were more serious. As for the feedback preferences of the teachers, 90 % of them used error codes while marking the essays and all the teachers preferred to write comments. While 60 % of the teachers were in favour of marking students&rsquo
mistakes comprehensively, the rest (40 %) believed selective marking was preferable. Moreover, it was found out that the teachers&rsquo
claims were compatible with their actual performances although some contradictions were observed in their performance.
