Sauer, Eve R. "Teacher Preferences for Professional Development Delivery Models and Delivery Model Influence on Teacher Behavior in the Classroom." ScholarWorks, 2011. https://scholarworks.waldenu.edu/dissertations/942.
Full textAbstract:
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.

Full textAbstract:
Since 1984 there has been ongoing debate in arts and educational circles about School Touring Programs which provide performing arts programs to school audiences in school venues. John Emery published in Lowdown one of
the first articles to review and question the position of School Touring Programs in Australia. Emery spoke of "Queensland's get up and go" in relation to arts experiences provided to schools. It is true to say that
Queensland Arts Council's School Touring Program is the largest coordinated youth performing art program of its kind in Australia. But a question remains; how does this monolithic structure position teachers? Are they encouraged to be baby-sitters, wardens, consumers or partners in the
arts experience? As teachers in Queensland are required to meet syllabus outcomes they are a vital link in extending and deepening the live arts experience for students. Yet in the current climate Queensland teachers have little opportunity to become familiar with an art work, it's context or it's themes before it enters their schools. There is an urgent need for stronger dialogic mechanisms
between arts providers and teachers. Using a constructivist paradigm this thesis will illuminate how arts providers
and agencies, including Queensland Arts Council, in Australian states and territories can develop partnerships with schools to enhance outcomes for students and teachers in arts education. Drawing upon observations and understandings of the three arts education models in the United States of America - Wolf Trap Institute for Early Learning in the Arts, Virginia; Performing Arts Centers and This model encourages teachers to play a more proactive role in rich learning experience that is part of a live theatre experience. The model supports teacher and student engagement with live arts experiences and has the potential to work in Queensland, in Australia and beyond. This challenging and exciting opportunity for teachers and
artists will seek to extend their thinking and develop aesthetic education opportunities and resources to support the first hand experience of art.

Full textAbstract:
With no apparent theoretical justification the Department of Education (DFE) Circular 9/92 has made mandatory, school-based Initial Teacher Training (ITT) whereby trainees are located in schools for the majority of their training. Schools and Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) have been encouraged by government to form complementary partnerships in which the school is the senior partner responsible for final assessment. Central to school-based partnership training is the role of the subject specific mentor who has, it is claimed in the literature on mentoring, a new and exacting task to perform as teacher educator rather than the purely supervisory role pre-1992. The tentative hypothesis is that there is a gap between the rhetoric of mentoring and the reality of mentoring in school-based partnership ITT post-1992. Three models representing `stages' of professional development: the apprenticeship model; the competency model and the `reflective practitioner' model of mentoring are considered from the perspective of both subject mentors and trainees. The data, gathered by participant observation, semi-structured interviews, questionnaires and recorded mentor-trainee feedback sessions, investigates to what extent there is in the training year slavish imitation reinforced by practical skills associated with apprenticeship, and/or professional development in trainee learning informed and extended by trainee access to teacher expertise. Changes in ITT appear largely administrative, mentors focusing on supervision of competent apprentices, passing on basic skills using a `top-down' model of knowledge transfer to passive novices. A model of mentoring is outlined whereby the professional tutor assumes a school leadership role, liaising with the HEI partner in joint planning of ITT, taking responsibility for trainee overview and professional development of Newly Qualified Teachers (NQTs). Two stages of Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) are described in a model of future teacher preparation whereby master classroom practitioners can be professionally identified and appropriately rewarded.

Lewis, Gregory Paul. "Repeated Reading: Testing Alternative Models for Efficient Implementation." DigitalCommons@USU, 2012. https://digitalcommons.usu.edu/etd/1171.
Full textAbstract:
Repeated reading has been used for over 30 years. In the publication of the National Reading Panel Report, repeated reading was listed as an effective strategy for developing fluency. Yet, repeated reading’s efficacy has been recently questioned. Understanding the “how-to” of efficiently using evidence-based practices would allow teachers to deliver successful, time-sensitive instruction and intervention to students. This study was based on two research questions. First was a gain score (increase between a student’s first read and their final repeated reading), a better model and therefore a better criterion than the currently popular criterion of reaching a set words-read-correctly-perminute (WRCM) hot read, such as Samuels’ criterion of 95 WRCM. The study’s second question was exploring which demographic variables, such as age, ethnicity, gender, current reading ability, and socioeconomic status (SES), played a significant role in predicting the effectiveness of using weekly repeated reading scores as a predictor of benchmark reading measures at midyear and end-of-year outcome measures. The study used a unique theoretical multilevel path model to explore repeated reading.
A complex model was developed to study (a) the growth of a student’s ability to read words with speed and accuracy and (b) how student demographic features affect growth rates. It was found that a hot read advancement criterion provided a better model fit than the hypothesized advancement criterion of a student’s increase or gain between cold and hot reads. Student growth during repeated reading was found to be constant once a minimum WRCM criterion was reached. While repeated reading was shown to be a strategy that worked equally well for all students, the strategy was shown to be highlyeffective for English-language learners and showed promise in helping to closing the achievement gap. Limitations were discussed and recommendations provided.

Full textAbstract:
There is a high rate of academic failure among disadvantaged preschool and post preschool students in some school districts in Virginia, yet little is understood about the relationship between education models and academic performance among economically disadvantaged students (EDS). The problem explored is the absence of classroom exercises in pre and post preschools that capitalize on cognitive development to improve executive function (EF) and self-regulation (SR) skills. The purpose of this study is to understand if a change in current classroom practices impacts academic performance among low-income students. Narrative policy serves as a theoretical guide in this qualitative case study that focused on the perceptions of principals, teachers, and administrators regarding best practices for preschool and post-preschool students and, secondly, how teachers implement classroom exercises to capitalize on the development of executive function and self-regulation skills among economically disadvantaged students. All data were inductively coded and then subjected to a thematic analysis procedure and included archived school report cards, preschool enrollment, and semi structured interviews with 3 former teachers now serving as administrators who supervise classroom activities. Findings indicate that best practices for EDS were a responsive classroom approach to correct disruptive behavior while developing mental capacity and simultaneously capitalizing on exercises to improve EF and SR skills in a classroom environment. Implications of social change begin with the empowerment of students, teachers, and administrators. Policy recommendations for social change include mandating two years of high-quality preschool for EDS as well as pursuing policies supporting SR and EF skills.

Morris, Whitney. "Influence of Teacher Participation on Student Fitness and Student Participation in Physical Education." ScholarWorks, 2016. https://scholarworks.waldenu.edu/dissertations/2855.
Full textAbstract:
Physical activity plays a key role in the health of children. Childhood obesity is increasing in the United States, and children are spending less time being physically active. Active participation by a physical education (PE) teacher in physical activities has been suggested as a means of promoting student fitness. The purpose of this quasi-experimental quantitative study was to determine whether modeling of physical activity by a PE teacher would increase student participation and physical fitness. Bandura's social learning theory provided the theoretical framework for the study. Participants included 311 4th and 5th grade elementary students enrolled in physical education classes. One group of students experienced PE teacher modeling in physical education class activities and the other group experienced no PE teacher modeling. Participation grades in physical education were used for participation scores, while the FITNESSGRAM was used to measure student physical fitness. Independent samples t tests were used to compare students' fitness and participation levels between the two groups. Results indicated no significant differences in fitness or participation between the groups based on teacher modeling. This study promoted positive social change by providing initial research findings to the local site on encouraging physical activity through teacher participation, which may be used to further examine student participation in physical activity.

Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACT Autism is a complex brain-based developmental disability with unknown etiology. It involves disturbances or delays in communication, social interaction, and play, as well as behavioral abnormalities including; obsessive, ritualistic, rigid, and/or stereotyped behavior. The disorder affects 1 in 68 individuals nationwide. Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is recognized by the medical community as the best practice approach to treating autism. Early, intensive, ABA treatment has been attributed to the widespread opinion that autism is now a treatable condition. The effectiveness of ABA, combined with the increasing incidence of autism, has resulted in a high demand for well-trained professionals who are able to effectively work with individuals with this diagnosis. Training programs are not producing ABA trained personnel at a rate that can meet the demand for services. Given the efficiencies which may be realized with online instruction, this study examined a blended approach to training staff by combining online professional training modules with classroom and field based instruction. The purpose of this quantitative study was to evaluate the efficacy of online instruction in ABA training models. A repeated measures design with the use of a control group was used to evaluate online instruction and compare its efficacy to that of live lecture or classroom based instruction. Results revealed a statistically significant difference in the level of training content learned and retained between the online group and the live lecture group. These results seem to suggest that something other than chance resulted in the online group scoring significantly higher than members in the live lecture group and that the online mode of instruction may have some merits that can be of value to address the demand for highly trained professionals to work in the autism field.

Mickelson, Ann Marie. "Blending Worlds, Reforming Practice?: An Instrumental Case Study Of Collaborative Early Childhood Teacher Education." Scholar Commons, 2013. http://scholarcommons.usf.edu/etd/4729.
Full textAbstract:
Collaborative models of teacher education have grown from the belief that through such models we can improve the quality and availability of truly inclusive opportunities for children with diverse abilities and their families. Little is known however as to the extent collaborative models are capable of influencing inclusive service delivery or in terms of their efficacy to impact the relative inclusive practice of their graduates as compared to other models of teacher education. As an important first step toward examining the relative worth and efficacy of collaborative models of early childhood teacher education, this case study applied a conceptual framework derived from activity systems theory (Engeström, 1987; 1999) and the recommended research framework for investigation into collaborative models (Pugach & Blanton, 2009) to consider one such teacher education program as a system. Doing so offers the literature a description of one program's parameters of practice and efforts to produce effective, inclusive teachers and leaders through a collaborative approach; something that was previously lacking in the literature base. Working to understand how this teacher education program operates as a system helped characterize the parameters of practice specific to collaborative program dimensions. Elements of harmony and tension as well as cultural tools specific to the program's attempts to meet its object and ultimate outcome per activity theory were also identified. Finally, case study analysis of this particular program through the conceptual framework provided insight related to current and future efforts of collaborative early childhood teacher education and broader teacher education reform

Enriquez-Savery, Sherlene. "Statistical Analysis of a Risk Factor in Finance and Environmental Models for Belize." Scholar Commons, 2016. http://scholarcommons.usf.edu/etd/6231.
Full textAbstract:
The objectives of the study are to review and evaluate four basic risk models that are commonly used in investment science; statistically investigate the risk factor in Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) that is used to reflect the safety of an investment decision in stocks; explore the statistical distribution of monthly precipitation in Belize and to forecast tourist arrivals using statistical time series modelling techniques.
The risk models are the Capital Asset Pricing Model (Sharpe-Linter Version), Capital Asset Pricing Model (Conditional Version), Arbitrage Pricing Theory, and Fama–French three-factor model adopted in empirical investigations of asset pricing. The underlying assumptions of using these models are reviewed, and the statistical procedures to evaluate their robustness are reviewed.
It will be shown that the present manner of determining this risk factor is quite sensitive and misleading. We introduce a statistical procedure for obtaining a more robust measure of the risk factor commonly referred to as CAPM beta.
Changes in the hydrological cycle will generate repercussions in all sectors. It is therefore imperative that Belize’s water resources be managed in an integrated manner, responding to the requirements of all sectors. Daily rainfall data have been collected for a period of 51 years (1960– 2011) from The National Meteorological Service of Belize. The Wakeby distribution adequately fit the monthly rainfall data producing a suitable model based on the Kolmogorov – Smirnov test.
Tourism is vitally important to the entire Belize’s economy, contributing 50% of Belize's gross domestic product in 2015. It is the foremost foreign exchange earner in this small economy, followed by exports of marine products, citrus, cane sugar, bananas, and garments. The tourist sector is not without its vulnerabilities and is subject to international economic vagaries. In order to meet the expected future demands on the industry in terms of service delivery it is important that the sector understands the significance of forecasting.

Yarker, Morgan Brown. "Teacher Challenges, Perceptions, and Use of Science Models in Middle School Classrooms about Climate, Weather, and Energy Concepts." Diss., University of Iowa, 2013. https://ir.uiowa.edu/etd/4929.
Full textAbstract:
Research suggests that scientific models and modeling should be topics covered in K-12 classrooms as part of a comprehensive science curriculum. It is especially important when talking about topics in weather and climate, where computer and forecast models are the center of attention. There are several approaches to model based inquiry, but it can be argued, theoretically, that science models can be effectively implemented into any approach to inquiry if they are utilized appropriately. Yet, it remains to be explored how science models are actually implemented in classrooms. This study qualitatively looks at three middle school science teachers' use of science models with various approaches to inquiry during their weather and climate units. Results indicate that the teacher who used the most elements of inquiry used models in a way that aligned best with the theoretical framework than the teachers who used fewer elements of inquiry. The theoretical framework compares an approach to argument-based inquiry to model-based inquiry, which argues that the approaches are essentially identical, so teachers who use inquiry should be able to apply model-based inquiry using the same approach. However, none of the teachers in this study had a complete understanding of the role models play in authentic science inquiry, therefore students were not explicitly exposed to the ideas that models can be used to make predictions about, and are representations of, a natural phenomenon. Rather, models were explicitly used to explain concepts to students or have students explain concepts to the teacher or to each other. Additionally, models were used as a focal point for conversation between students, usually as they were creating, modifying, or using models. Teachers were not observed asking students to evaluate models. Since science models are an important aspect of understanding science, it is important that teachers not only know how to implement models into an inquiry environment, but also understand the characteristics of science models so that they can explicitly teach the concept of modeling to students. This study suggests that better pre-service and in-service teacher education is needed to prepare students to teach about science models effectively.

Full textAbstract:
Building on research that has focused on understanding how peers contribute to students' engagement, this dissertation explores the extent to which peer group influences on students' engagement may add to and be contextualized by qualities of the relationships they maintain with their teachers and their parents. To focus on how each of these adult contexts work in concert with peer groups to jointly contribute to changes in students' engagement, the two studies used data on 366 sixth graders which were collected at two time points during their first year of middle school: Peer groups were identified using socio-cognitive mapping; students reported on teacher and parent involvement; and teachers reported on each students' engagement. In both studies, models of cumulative and contextualized joint effects were examined. Consistent with models of cumulative effects, peer group engagement, parent involvement, and teacher involvement each uniquely predicted changes in students' engagement. Consistent with contextualized models suggesting differential susceptibility, peer group engagement was a more pronounced predictor of changes in engagement for students who experienced relatively low involvement from teachers. Similarly, peer group influences on changes in students' engagement were stronger for students who experienced relatively low involvement from their parents. In both cases, these peer effects were positive or negative depending on the engagement versus disaffection of each student's peer group. Both studies also used person-centered analyses to reveal cumulative and contextualized effects. Most engaged were students who experienced support from either both teachers and peers, or both parents and peers; the lowest levels of engagement were found among those students who affiliated with disaffected peers who also experienced either their teachers or parents as relatively uninvolved. Both high teacher and high parent involvement partially protected students from the motivational costs of affiliating with disaffected peers. Similarly, belonging to engaged peer groups partially buffered students' engagement from the ill effects of low teacher and parent involvement. These findings suggest that, although peer groups and teachers and parents are each important individually, a complete understanding of their contributions to students' engagement requires the examination of their joint effects.

“IF I AM LOSING THEM, I’M GOING TO CHANGE. SO THAT’S WHAT WE DID!”: THIRD GRADE TEACHERS CONTEMPLATE THE LITERACY
NEEDS OF DIVERSE STUDENTS WITHIN
A TEACHER STUDY GROUP
by
Megan A. Nason
According to Birchak, Connor, Crawford, Kahn, Kaser, Turner, & Short (1998), Fang, Fu, & Lamme (2004), Kennedy & Sheil (2010), and Wiliam (2008), teacher study groups can provide a supportive and collaborative professional development environment. The purpose of this study was to examine the professional development experiences of three third grade teachers working with culturally, linguistically, and economically diverse (CLED) students in a high-needs school as they participated in a teacher study group. The adoption of national standards and pressures for all students to achieve high standardized test scores in math and reading due to Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) requirements mandated by the No Child Left Behind Act (2001) resulted in increased stress, anxiety, and uncertainty for the teachers participating in this study. The following research questions guided this qualitative, ethnographic case study: (1) In what ways does participation in a teacher study group impact elementary teachers’ knowledge, beliefs, and understandings when teaching culturally, linguistically, and economically diverse students in a high-needs school? (2) In what ways do teachers’ literacy practices shift as a result of engaging in teacher study groups focused on issues related to culturally, linguistically and economically diverse student populations? Bronfenbrenner’s (1979; 1994) ecological models, Vygotsky’s (1978; 1986) sociocultural theory, and Ruddell and Unrau’s (2004) sociocognitive reading model served as theoretical frameworks that informed this naturalistic inquiry. Through constant comparative analysis (Glaser and Strauss, 1967) of data collected through pre- and post-interviews, bi-weekly teacher study group meetings, and classroom observations, the teachers’ knowledge, beliefs, and understandings about how culturally, linguistically, and economically diverse (CLED) students learn and develop literacy skills were explored. The findings of this study demonstrate how teacher study groups can provide teachers with a safe space to build trusting relationships so that they can discuss school and classroom-related uncertainties, vulnerabilities, frustrations and successes. Shifts in enacted curriculum, instruction, and beliefs occurred as the teachers in this study attempted to negotiate their beliefs about how CLED children learn through engaging in conversations related to integrated curriculum, higher-order thinking, inquiry-based learning, literacy instruction, literacy development, and the diverse needs of their students.

Full textAbstract:
Teachers working in urban schools in the United States are among those most at-risk for leaving the profession due to poor working conditions and lack of collegial relationships with school leaders and peers, among other factors. Use of professional development tools, such as the School Improvement Engine (SIE), may improve teacher retention and school organizational health; however, little research exists on the use of the SIE in charter schools. The purpose of this case study was to investigate New York City (NYC) school data on teacher retention and student achievement, how NYC charter school leaders participating in the program implemented the SIE, and how teachers and administrators perceived the impact of the implementation on their individual growth and desire to stay in their positions. Peter Senge's organizational learning theory was used to examine how SIE tools may promote a healthy organization in 5 areas (systems thinking, personal mastery, mental models, building shared vision, and team learning). Teacher retention and student achievement archived data for NYC schools were descriptively analyzed. Individual interviews were conducted with a purposeful sample of 10 teachers and 4 school leaders from NYC charter schools implementing the SIE. Interview data were analyzed using open coding to identify key themes. Results indicated that SIE schools outperformed other NYC schools (charter and public) in English Language Arts (ELA), math, and teacher retention. Participants stated that tools like peer review helped them to become more effective in their teaching. Positive social change impacts include providing data that support the use of the SIE to improve teacher effectiveness, teacher retention, and the overall school organizational health.

English as second language (ESL) students are not meeting reading proficiency standards
compared to their native English-speaking middle school peers. To address the low achievement
scores among ESL students, the study site implemented an instructional hub in which trained
ESL resource teachers used the sheltered instruction observation protocol (SIOP) model. The
purpose of this quasi-experimental study was to examine the difference in reading achievement
scores between ESL students who participated in the instructional hub and those who
participated in traditional instruction. Krashen's second language acquisition theory and Terrell's
natural approach theory provided the framework for the study. Archival data from a sample of 70
ESL students were used for data analysis. A paired-samples t test was used to determine whether
the groups reading mean scores (SIOP and traditional) significantly differed from pretest to post
test. The results showed that the SIOP group significantly improved or changed their reading
scores from pre to post scores, while students who were in traditional group did not. Findings
may be used by school district administrators to help teachers use the SIOP model to help ESL
students meet reading proficiency standards and graduate from school.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this thesis was to explore and describe how bilingual programmes are organized and implemented within the unique linguistic and socio-economic case of Qatar. Specifically the thesis explored bilingual programs offered by two types of primary schools in Qatar: international schools and independent schools. Qatar launched a new initiative for educational development in 2001 but with hardly any research linked to these changes. The study was positioned within a qualitative interpretive tradition drawing on elements of ethnography and grounded theory as tools of methodology. However, quantitative methods were also incorporated within the design. The research design is structured within two main phases: phase one included statistical analysis of secondary data investigating three variables: average teaching time in the first and the second language, students’ and teachers’ nationality. Phase two utilized a multi-case study design. One school from each type was examined in depth over a period of nine weeks. Data were collected by means of school documents, interviews, and non-participant observation of English and Arabic classes. The first phase made an initial impression of the model of bilingual education followed by international and independent schools compared to bilingual typologies found in the literature. The analysis of the two cases examined revealed various differences across the two types. Findings reveal that the international school followed a partial immersion type of programme while the independent school followed a Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) type of programme. The study reveals that the Qatari bilingual schools context was one of heteroglossia, with three codes in operation: Modern Standard Arabic, Colloquial Arabic dialects and English. Findings reveal that teachers and students in the international school adopt a strict separation policy between the two languages following a monoglossic belief. Language teachers and students in the independent school were found to apply a flexible language policy inside English and Arabic classes. The study revealed a gap between claimed programme features and implementation of these features. An absence of a clear language policy in the schools was also a main finding relating to the practice of these schools. In light of these findings, adopting a clear and explicit language-in-education policy should be a priority for policy makers in Qatar. The study revealed how the diglossia situation in Qatari schools is unique and therefore schools must be aware of the languages at the disposal of students and teachers. Schools must also concentrate on developing academic language skills needed for success in L2 schooling.

The scientific role dimension is present throughout the report and support the reflection on the work in schools. Throughout this report are to highlight the following topics: planning models, characteristics of teaching approach, teacher's skills, health promotion, evaluation , projects developed in school participation, professional development
Conclusions: Stage planning model favors students' learning in the long term. The block planning model by presenting a simpler organization is appropriate for younger students. Taking the education approach the issues should try a differentiation between collective sports games and individual sports. The instruction and feedback should follow the dynamics of the classes that we teach. An external focus promotes the collective approach to sports games. Otherwise the internal focus seems to favor arrangements of individual sports.

Full textAbstract:
Education is often viewed as a key approach to address sexual-health issues; the current concern is the burgeoning HIV/AIDS epidemic. This ethnographic study investigates the gender practices associated with high-risk sexual behaviour in Papua New Guinea as viewed by educators there. A number of practices, including gender inequality and associated sexual behaviours have been highlighted by male and female participants as escalating PNG’s HIV/AIDS epidemic. The study finds that although participants were well-informed concerning HIV/AIDS, they had varying beliefs concerning the prevailing gender/sexual issues involved in escalating highrisk behaviour and how to address the problem. The study further examines the behavioural beliefs and intentions of the educators themselves. Subsequently, within the data a number of underpinning factors, pertaining to gender, education and life experience, were found to be related to the behaviour beliefs and intentions of participants towards embracing change with regard to behaviours associated with gender equality in PNG. These factors appeared to encourage participants to adopt healthier gender and sexual behavioural intentions and, arguably, could provide the basis for ways to help address the gender inequality and high-risk behaviours associated with HIV/AIDS in PNG.

Este estudo, inserido na problemática da formação inicial de professores, revela, de um modo geral, o percurso académico efectuado na Universidade de Évora por 20 docentes e, mais concretamente, as suas experiências pessoais e profissionais nos momentos anteriores ao estágio pedagógico e durante o mesmo. Toda a investigação foi orientada no sentido de se obterem respostas às seguintes questões. Qual a imagem que os estagiários do Curso de Licenciatura em Ensino de Física e Química da Universidade de Évora, concretamente no ano lectivo de 2000/2001, tinham acerca da formação inicial anterior ao estágio pedagógico proporcionada pela instituição? De que forma os mesmos estagiários perspectivaram e vivenciaram o ano de estágio? Qual o balanço por eles efectuado sobre esse mesmo ano? No estudo, de natureza tendencialmente descritiva e interpretativa, foi adoptada uma modalidade de pesquisa inspirada no estudo de caso, à qual se associaram técnicas e instrumentos diversos de recolha de dados, nomeadamente entrevistas e registos episódicos, dados esses posteriormente submetidos a adequada análise de conteúdo. Foi possível encontrar nos discursos destes futuros professores alguns traços característicos das fases de sobrevivência e de descoberta, nomeadamente preocupações com a transmissão dos conhecimentos, o relacionamento diPicil com os alunos e o entusiasmo inicial face à profissão. Choque com a realidade, fruto de um desajustamento entre a imagem da escola concebida durante os primeiros anos da formação inicial e a realidade, encontra-se bem patente nos sefil mentos experienciados e veiculados através das palavras dos inquiridos. Apesar das limitações inerentes a este tipo de investigação, é nossa convicção que a divulgação dos seus resultados, para além da utilidade que poderá ter junto dos futuros professores, possibilita à Universidade o acesso a uma base de dados que, após reflexão, poderá conduzir a reformulações na licenciatura que possam ajudar a colmatar a descontinuidade sentida no ano de estágio. Como possível contribuição, apresentamos como sugestão o Programa de Inserção na Profissão Docente (P.I.P.D.).
*** - Abstract - The present research, in the field of initial teacher education, examines, describes and analyses the academicals way of twenty student teachers who took their degree in the Universidade de Évora. More specifically this work deals with the personal and professional experiences of those student teachers in two of the most important phases of their professional development: one, before the beginning of the teaching practice period, the other during the supervisioned teaching practice period. This research was carried out in order to answer the following questions: Which are the Physics and Chemistry 2000/2001 student teachers' representations about their teacher education curriculum? How did these student teachers live and prospect this practice year? How do they take the same practice year into account, after all? The essentially descriptive and interpretative structure of this study recommended a research approach inspired in case study associated to various technics and instruments of data collection namely interviews and anedoctal records. These ones were then submitted to a content analysis. The results reveal that student teachers' narratives seem to show some traces which characterize the survival and discovery phases, especially some concerns about knowledge transmission, problematic relationship with their students and the initial enthusiastic feeling for their job. Reality shock resulting from a discrepancy between their representations of reality shaped by their model of teacher education and reality itself appears to be clearly shown in the feelings expressed in the questioned people's words. In spite of some typical limitations of this type of research, these results can possibly be useful in two ways: they can help future Physics and Chemistry student teachers; the data collected can be used to adapt the curriculum of teacher education in Physics and Chemistry in order to be able to meet actual imperative professional needs. An example of this can be the Programa de Inserção na Profissão Docente

Full textAbstract:
Over a decade after the regulation change in Virginia allowing individuals without teaching experience to pursue school counseling careers, no known study had focused exclusively on differences site supervisors observe when training school counselors from different professional backgrounds and the extent to which those counselors employ a tailored supervision approach in the clinical setting. While site supervisor training has been an area of interest in recent articles (e.g., Dollarhide & Miller, 2006), its relationship to supervision philosophies and technique differentiation has not been previously addressed. The researcher investigated those topics using a mixed-method research design shaped by suggestions from recent literature (e.g., Better-Fitzhugh, 2010; DeKruyf, 2007; Luke, Ellis, & Bernard, 2011; Miller & Dollarhide, 2006; Peterson & Deuschle, 2006; Stephens, 2008). This study analyzed site supervisors’ perspectives on supervision, the role training can play in developing site supervisors’ confidence and philosophical orientation, and the beliefs and practices site supervisors employ when supervising former teachers and non-teachers. Observed differences between former teachers and non-teachers in the clinical setting existed, yet 7 out of 12 site supervisors did not differentiate their supervision approach in order to close this gap. Findings from both Phase I (survey) and Phase II (interview) of this study indicated that practice is linked to training. Site supervisors who reported receiving supervision training were more likely to work from a philosophy of site supervision, feel more confident about their ability to supervise, and believe that differences between former teachers and non-teachers were slight and could be overcome with supportive, intentional supervision.

Existing state of the art practice-based teacher education models either rely on heavy teacher educator time commitment to process teacher candidate performance stored in rich media like audio or video, or rely on teacher candidates to voluntarily share experiences with minimal teacher educator interaction with data. Using an iterative design process, I work with teacher educators to gauge interest in and build a new teacher education model that simplifies how teacher educators interact with rich media. The new model builds on Teacher Moments, an online simulator for preservice teachers, and takes advantage of state of the art speech recognition and data visualization technology to help teacher educators learn the contents of rich media generated by teacher candidates without dedicating the time to listen or watch media. In my investigation, I find that there is an interest in such a model and that the new model succeeds in empowering teacher educators with the ability to use teacher candidate data to inform instructional decisions and substantiate discussion point during group debrief sessions.

Full textAbstract:
Physical education classrooms often have low levels of moderate to vigorous physical activity levels. This is a problem since many young elementary students are not building a foundation of fundamental movement skills necessary to be lifelong participants in physical activities. This study investigated how elementary physical education teachers used auditory modalities in their classrooms. The research question explored the emergence of rhythmic competency in fundamental movement skills to increase overall moderate to vigorous activity levels. This concurrent, mixed-methods, multiple case study used a constructivist paradigm using the schema and dynamic system theories as the underlying motor system theoretical framework. Two research sites were selected: a suburban Maryland public school system and a private liberal arts college located in the same county. The participants included 21 elementary physical education teachers and 6 physical education or exercise science majors from nationally recognized programs. Data were collected from a focus group, interviews, classroom observations, and a 10-item response Likert style survey designed for elementary physical education teachers to recognize current trends in the field of auditory modalities and rhythmic competency. The data were analyzed to identify auditory modality instructional methods for the emergence of rhythmic competencies. The results consisted of a list of best practices for use such as musical rhythms, verbal cues, and sound cues by physical education teachers and specialists. This research promotes positive social change by providing information for successfully planning interventions in the discipline of motor skill and rhythmic development that can lead to overall increased more-vigorous physical activity.

Resumo: Este estudo analisa o discurso de sala de aula, a partir do ponto de vista da Análise do Discurso, com base em Pêcheux (1983; 1997; 2002) e Orlandi (1993; 1998; 1999), considerando, primordialmente, as noções de identidade, lugar social e assujeitamento. Como existem, aqui, outras questões análogas em jogo, tais como imaginário social, interdiscurso e ideologia, a pesquisa de outros analistas também será considerada. A análise envolve excertos, extraídos de gravações em fitas de áudio e vídeo, de dois professores de português, da região norte (Araguaína, Tocantins) e de documentos oficiais, preparados por um grupo de pesquisadores de diferentes partes do país. Tais documentos (GESTAR, PCN, RT-TO) oferecem orientações nacionais para professores de língua materna. O objetivo principal deste trabalho é comparar a imagem de professor que emerge dos documentos com a imagem que a pesquisadora (Pq) constrói dos dois participantes (P1, com três anos de experiência, e P2, com sete), a partir da comparação entre as diretrizes oficiais e a forma como conduzem suas aulas de leitura e de produção escrita. Os resultados mostram que, no contexto de sala de aula, existem dois tipos de assujeitamento: passivo e reflexivo, que têm, respectivamente, uma conotação negativa e positiva
Abstract: This study analyzes classroom discourse from the point of view of Discourse Analysis, as formulated by Pêcheux (1983; 1997; 2002) and Orlandi (1993; 1998; 1999), considering primarily the notions of identity, social position and subjectivation. Since there are other analogous issues in play here, such as social imaginary, interdiscourse and ideology, the work of other analysts will also be considered. The analysis comprises excerpts from audio and video recordings of two teachers of Portuguese, from the north of Brazil (Araguaína, Tocantins) and from official documents, prepared by a group of researchers from different parts of the country. Such documents (GESTAR, PCN, RTTO) provide national guidelines for teachers of Portuguese. The main goal of this work is to compare the teacher's image that emerges from the documents with the image that the researcher (Pq) captures of the two participants (P1, three years of experience, and P2, seven), by comparing the official guidelines with the way they conduct their reading and writing classes. The results show that, in the classroom context, there are two kinds of subjectivation: passive and reflexive, which have, respectively, a negative and a positive connotation

In the past twenty years, there has been a significant increase of researches about teacher s professionalization. In that context, the investigations concerning teacher s knowledge represent an important contribution, as they aim to identify and to rescue the base of knowledge that sustains the teacher s profession. In particular, the reflections and propositions of Lee Shulman have been constitute a fundamental subsidy to the teacher s professionalization in the sense of harnessing the pedagogic knowledge to the content s knowledge, establishing the pedagogic knowledge of the content that characterizes and differentiates the teacher and the bachelor in a certain field of knowledge. Among the indispensable knowledge for the Chemistry teacher's professional practice, in this research we have pointed out the pertinence of the knowledge on the use of models in Chemistry classes in the middle and high school. Those knowledges regard the comprehension of students concerning the understanding and models elaborated in science and the models implemented in the Chemistry teaching, as well as the abilities to plan didactic situations that use models. In this research, we aimed to identify the contributions and barriers during the Chemistry teacher education, in UFRN, in relation to the construction of knowledge that subsidize training teachers in the elaboration of teaching activities that involve the use of models. The investigation was accomplished in UFRN, in the Course of Degree in Chemistry, along with 13 student teachers that studied the subject Practice of Chemistry Teaching. For this research, the following instruments were used: questionnaires with open and closed questions, elaboration of a plan of activities for the Chemistry teaching and an interview to answer the established study s questions. The data was analyzed in an established criteria, classified and tabled. The results showed that the student teachers representations regarding scientific knowledge contemplated, among other topics, the idea of a method for his/her construction. In some cases, the models role was emphasized in that construction, as well as the social dimension in the validation of that knowledge. The scientific models were highlighted by most of the student teachers, as a representation method to explain, understand and interpret the chemical phenomena. On the other hand, the didactic models stood out, in most of cases, as a method of aiding the Chemistry students of the Basic Education to understand the scientific models. The representations regarding those categories contemplated important aspects, although in a superficial way, reflecting the limitations of reflections during the formative process. In the elaboration of teaching activities that use models, difficulties were evidenced, in the process of plan construction, relative to the didactic structure and to the proposition of activities that contemplated models, although the student teachers have mobilized different elements regarding the pedagogic knowledge of the content. Such verifications evidence the urge for the teacher development programs to promote changes in the teacher education in order to propitiate, during this process, reflections, discussions and propositions of activities regarding categories highlighted in this research, contributing to the construction of initial elements regarding the pedagogic knowledge of the content that will be developed throughout teaching, therefore corroborating to the teacher s professionalization

Em particular, as reflex?es e proposi??es de Lee Shulman t?m constitu?do um subs?dio fundamental ? profissionaliza??o dos professores no sentido de atrelar os saberes pedag?gicos aos do conte?do, estabelecendo o conhecimento pedag?gico do conte?do que caracteriza e diferencia o professor e o bacharel em determinada ?rea de conhecimento. Entre os saberes imprescind?veis ao exerc?cio profissional do professor de Qu?mica, salientamos, nesta pesquisa, a pertin?ncia dos relativos ao uso de modelos nas aulas de Qu?mica nos ensinos fundamental e m?dio. Esses saberes s?o referentes ? compreens?o dos licenciandos acerca do conhecimento e modelos elaborados na ci?ncia e dos modelos adotados no ensino de Qu?mica, assim como as habilidades para planejar situa??es did?ticas que utilizem modelos. Nesta pesquisa, buscamos identificar as contribui??es e entraves, durante a forma??o inicial de professores de Qu?mica, na UFRN, em rela??o ? constru??o de saberes que subsidiem os licenciandos na elabora??o de atividades de ensino que envolvam a utiliza??o de modelos. A investiga??o foi realizada na UFRN, no Curso de Licenciatura em Qu?mica, junto a 13 licenciandos que cursavam a disciplina de Pr?tica de Ensino de Qu?mica. Para esta pesquisa, foram utilizados os seguintes instrumentos: question?rios com perguntas abertas e fechadas, elabora??o de um plano de atividades para o ensino de Qu?mica e entrevista de modo a responder as quest?es de estudo estabelecidas. Os dados obtidos foram analisados a partir de crit?rios estabelecidos, categorizados e tabelados. Os resultados sinalizam que as representa??es dos licenciandos referentes ao conhecimento cient?fico contemplavam, entre outras quest?es, a id?ia de um m?todo para a sua constru??o. Em alguns casos, foi ressaltado o papel dos modelos nessa constru??o, bem como a dimens?o social na valida??o desse conhecimento. Os modelos cient?ficos foram destacados, pela maioria dos licenciandos, como uma forma de representa??o com finalidade de explicar, compreender e interpretar os fen?menos qu?micos. J? os modelos did?ticos foram ressaltados, na maioria dos casos, como uma forma de auxiliar os alunos de Qu?mica da Educa??o B?sica a compreender os modelos cient?ficos. As representa??es referentes a essas categorias contemplaram aspectos importantes, embora de modo superficial, refletindo as limita??es de reflex?es nesse sentido durante o processo formativo. Na elabora??o de atividades de ensino que utilizam modelos, foram evidenciadas dificuldades, no processo de constru??o do plano, relativas ? estrutura did?tica e ? proposi??o de atividades que contemplassem modelos, embora os licenciandos tenham mobilizado diferentes elementos referentes ao conhecimento pedag?gico do conte?do. Tais constata??es evidenciam a necessidade de que a ag?ncia formadora possa promover mudan?as na forma??o inicial de modo a propiciar, ao longo desse processo, reflex?es, discuss?es e proposi??es de atividades relativas ?s categorias destacadas nesta pesquisa, contribuindo para a constru??o de elementos iniciais referentes ao conhecimento pedag?gico do conte?do que ser?o desenvolvidos no decorrer da doc?ncia, corroborando, dessa forma, para a profissionaliza??o docente

Syftet med denna studie är att få insikt kvinnliga slagverkslärares syn på villkor för kvinnliga slagverkselevers musicerande. Studien genomförs utifrån genusteorier och med utgångspunkt i ett socialkonstruktivistiskt perspektiv. Datamaterialet samlades in genom sex semistrukturerade kvalitativa intervjuer, varav en fungerade som pilotintervju. Intervjuerna transkriberades och därefter gjordes en tematisk analys av materialet. Resultatet visar att de intervjuade lärarna förespråkar vikten av kvinnliga förebilder och deras representation i media. Utöver kvinnor lyfts även familjemedlemmar fram som förebilder, vilka potentiellt kan ha inverkan på elevernas instrumentval och fortsatta musicerande. Enligt lärarna i föreliggande studie ställs slagverkare inför olika typer av svårigheter, vilka yttrar sig på olika vis, beroende på om de är tjejer eller killar. Prestationskrav och sociala jargonger är exempel på dettaThe main purpose of this study is to examine female percussion teachers view on the challenges of being a female percussion student. The theoretical basis of the study is gender theories and social constructionism. Data was collected from six semi-structured interviews whereof one was used as a pilot interview. The interviews were transcribed and thereafter thematic analysis was used to examine the data. The results show that the female teachers all advocate the importance of female role models and the way they are depicted in the media. Family members are also highlighted as important and influential role models concerning the pupils’ choice of instrument or continued musicing. The teachers in this study are of the opinon that percussionists, depending on their gender, face different challenges. As an example, they mention performance anxiety and social tendencies.

Full textAbstract:
This is a study of teacher professional development at the school level using teacher research as a strategy for both teacher professional learning and school change. A qualitative study was conducted to determine the conditions that would develop and sustain teachers researching their own practice in a culture of inquiry. Participant observation in one school over a two year period was used to investigate the issue of how to embed teacher research as a central feature of teachers� work. As a result of working with teachers as they researched their practice I have developed a model to explain and understand the complexities of schools and their cultures. Teachers researching their practice provided the driving force in the interplay of the elements of the model and had the potential to change school culture. Relationships, structures and processes are central to this model. Social and professional relationships between the teachers and the university partner developed and were supported by structures and processes. As the research continued these relationships changed and evolved. These relationships help develop a culture of inquiry in schools. The school/university partnership in this study evolved from an initial symbiotic�cooperative partnership (in which I shared my expertise and supported the work of teachers) into a later organic�collaborative partnership (one based on mutual and shared goals and benefits). The existing team of four teachers and the allocation of time for them to meet provided the essential structures for the teachers to research their practice. The collective leadership style instigated by the school Principal provided important human and financial support for the development of inquiry cultures. Collaboration and collegiality as forms of association enabled teachers to conduct research which challenged their individual and collective beliefs and assumptions about students� learning and their classroom practice. The content and form of teacher culture mediated the effects of teachers researching their practice. There are critical and transformational effects when teachers research their practice as part of their core work. Introducing these teachers to research was not without its difficulties. There were events and factors in the school relating to relationships, structures and processes which hindered the development of teacher research in a culture of inquiry. Because of the time frame of this study there is no evidence that school culture change is permanent. This could be the subject of future research.

Full textAbstract:
This study offers an explanation of enabling and / or constraining factors in Zimbabwe‘s 3-3-3 secondary teacher education model for Post ‗O‘ Level Science. It is a theory driven study that derives its theoretical foundation from Roy Bhaskar‘s critical realism and Margaret Archer‘s morphogenetic approach to reality. The study therefore offers explanations about structural, cultural and agential influences that facilitate and / or hinder the 3-year program for Post ‗O‘ Level Science. This was a qualitative case study of one secondary teacher education college in Zimbabwe. Qualitative data were collected through interviews, focus group discussions and document analysis. One official from the Department of Teacher Education(DTE) at the University of Zimbabwe(UZ),the Principal, the Vice Principal and 10 lecturers from the studied college,3 Heads of Science department in secondary schools,3mentors and 5 groups of 10 and 11eleven student teachers participated in the study. The DTE Handbook (2012), vision and mission statements and core values of the Ministry of Higher and Tertiary Education Science and Technology Development (MHTESTD),DTE and the studied college, syllabuses, teaching practice reports, policy documents, external examining reports, College Academic Board (CAB) minutes, admission records, mark profiles and pass lists among other relevant documents complemented interview data. As a theory driven study, structural, cultural and agential influences were found to be enabling and / or constraining the model. The acute shortage of Science teachers in secondary schools and the few Post ‗A‘ Level Science graduates led to the re-introduction of the 3- year Post ‗O‘ Level Science program in secondary teacher education colleges. The bureaucratic structures in educational institutions, the In-Out-In structure, institutional structures such as the family, the University, the studied college, secondary schools, infrastructural facilities, material and financial resources, transport facilities and utilities such as water, electricity and the internet were established as some among other structural factors affecting the 3-3-3 model. Discourses held about the teaching profession, the vision, mission and core values of the MHTESTD,DTE and the studied college, beliefs about what Science teachers should learn, knowledge, skills, attitudes and values they should acquire and how they should be taught were established as cultural factors enabling and / or constraining the 3-3-3 model. Agential influences offering causal explanation for enablers and / or constrainers of the model were established as the decision by the Principal and the CAB to re-introduce the 3- year Post ‗O‘ Level Science program, the decision by the students to enroll for the program, the recruitment of under qualified students, the use of various teaching methods, conducting staff development and mentorship workshops and failure to increase staff establishment. The study has put forth recommendations for the improvement on constraining factors in pre-service teacher education programs. With the understanding that agency has power to reinforce or transform structures and cultures, it should not be seen to be reinforcing disadvantaged structural positions and cultures; instead, after having identified structural and cultural constrainers, it should engage in communicative and meta-reflexivity to come up with the best possible solutions to the hindrances. Courses of action should then be taken accordingly.

Operating through sister organisations in Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, North America and South America, Teach for All promises to develop solutions to educational problems in diverse settings through training teachers according to common principles to work in schools in areas of disadvantage. For the first time, therefore, there exists a single international organisation offering a model of teacher education which claims to be transferable to any context in the world. This study, through a focus on Teach South Africa in the Global South and the UK’s Teach First in the Global North, seeks to examine these claims. In particular it investigates the extent to which the teacher training model has been transferred, established and embedded in what are culturally, economically, politically and historically very different nation states. CEOs, middle managers and teachers of the respective organisations were interviewed and Teach for All, Teach First and Teach South Africa web-sites were analysed, in order to gain an understanding of how the principles, aims and ethos are embodied within the organisation’s different settings. I argue that, while pervasive neoliberal ideologies along with a specific organisational discourse combine to create a set of circumstances in which Teach for All believes it can establish 'country proof’ sister organisations anywhere in the world, the North in fact maintains and strengthens its privilege and power base in these relationships and they are not necessarily supportive of teacher development needs in the Global South.

O presente estudo consiste em uma pesquisa realizada no município de Pelotas/RS sobre a inserção na docência do professor de ciências considerado novato. Desta pesquisa participaram 10 docentes recém-ingressos no campo profissional, os quais responderam a um questionário com perguntas relativas à formação inicial e ao ingresso na profissão. A revisão bibliográfica foi de fundamental importância para compreender melhor o tema em questão e também me situar da importância mundial e no impacto da melhoria educacional que se pode alcançar dando maior assistência ao professor que está em início de carreira. Os objetivos desta pesquisa foram de compreender como ocorreu a inserção do professor novato de ciências, com quais dificuldades eles se depararam no exercício da profissão e qual a contribuição teve a formação inicial para preparar esses profissionais a atuar plenamente como docente. A metodologia utilizada foi de caráter qualitativo e investigativo e como instrumento de coleta de dados, foi aplicado um questionário semiestruturado aos professores novatos participantes da pesquisa e após esses dados foram analisados pelo método da “análise de conteúdos” (MORAES,1999), que consiste em categorização, descrição e interpretação das respostas obtidas. Os resultados demonstraram que há lacunas na formação inicial desses novatos no que se refere principalmente a desarticulação entre teoria e prática pedagógica e também evidencia a ausência de ações de inserção por parte das escolas da rede estadual de Pelotas. Ao final, é proposto um curso de formação continuada para professores novatos de ciências como uma possível solução que venha a melhorar a entrada no campo profissional docente e a preencher as lacunas da formação inicial, proporcionando ao novato um crescimento no seu modelo didático pessoal, uma maior autonomia profissional e a contribuir com a fixação na carreira docente.
