Pre-service teachers’ episodic memories of classroom management     

Sandra J. Balli 《Teaching and Teacher Education》2011,27(2):245-251

This study focused on past excellent teachers’ classroom management strategies from the perspective of 148 pre-service teachers. The purpose of the study was to examine how pre-service teachers’ memories reflect classroom management models that are typically taught in teacher education coursework prior to their study of those models, as well as to explore memories that did not fit a particular model. Results indicated that pre-service teachers related episodes that clustered on establishing rules, but were less likely to relate experiences based on other strategies such as withitness, smooth transitions, or formal classroom meetings. Implications for teacher education are explored.  相似文献   

Contexts of reading instruction: Implications for literacy skills and kindergarteners’ behavioral engagement     

Claire Cameron Ponitz  Sara E. Rimm-Kaufman 《Early childhood research quarterly》2011,26(2):157

This observational study examined kindergarteners’ (n = 170) exposure to literacy instruction in their classrooms (n = 36), child-by-instruction interactions, and behavioral engagement in relation to literacy skills. Time spent in four instructional contexts was coded according to who managed children's attention (teacher-managed, TM or child-managed, CM), and the content focus (basic skills such as teaching letters and their sounds, or meaning-focused such as discussing a book); children's behavioral engagement and off-task behavior were also coded live five times over the year. Word-reading and phonological awareness skills were assessed in fall and spring. Hierarchical Linear Modeling results indicated that kindergarteners with lower initial skills gained more in word-reading, but not phonological awareness, when they were exposed to relatively more time in TM basic skills instruction. In contrast, more time in CM meaning-focused instruction did not interact with initial skills to predict either outcome. Engagement analyses indicated that students were more likely to be off-task in CM than in TM contexts. Children who spent more time off-task during TM contexts had lower spring scores on both outcomes. Discussion explores the implications of this work for both literacy learning and behavioral engagement in the transition year of kindergarten.  相似文献   

Classroom and technology-supported help seeking: The need for converging research paradigms     

Stuart A. Karabenick 《Learning and Instruction》2011,21(2):290-296

Contributions to this special section represent advances in understanding help seeking as a self-regulated learning strategy that occurs in classrooms, during computer-mediated communications, and when using intelligent systems that provide help to improve learners’ help-seeking skills and knowledge acquisition. Collectively, the research and development contributes information relevant for all phases of the help-seeking process. My comments focus on: (a) features of technology-supported help seeking that have implications for motivation, (b) the need for increased attention to the instructional context in which technology-supported help seeking occurs, (c) a necessary convergence of classroom and technology-supported help-seeking research paradigms, and (d) reconsideration of help seeking as a social-interactive strategy.  相似文献   

Teacher enthusiasm: Dimensionality and context specificity   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Mareike Kunter  Anne Frenzel  Gabriel Nagy  Jürgen Baumert  Reinhard Pekrun 《Contemporary educational psychology》2011,36(4):289-301

Enthusiasm is considered an important characteristic of effective teachers. However, the conceptualization of the term in the research literature is inconsistent. Whereas most studies use the term “enthusiasm” to describe features of instruction, some have used it to describe a characteristic of teachers. This research seeks to clarify the concept of teacher enthusiasm, examining its dimensionality and context specificity. The study draws on three samples of teachers who were administered questionnaire measures of enthusiasm. In two samples (N = 205 and 332), it was possible to match teacher data with data on the students taught. In another sample (N = 113), additional measures of work-related wellbeing were implemented. Confirmatory multigroup factor analyses showed that two dimensions of teacher enthusiasm can be distinguished, namely enthusiasm for teaching and enthusiasm for the subject. These dimensions differed in their meaning and context specificity. Whereas teaching enthusiasm was systematically linked to occupational wellbeing and to classroom variables, subject enthusiasm related only moderately to other measures of occupational wellbeing and was independent of characteristics of the classes taught.  相似文献   

The development of the classroom social climate during the first months of the school year     

M. Tim Mainhard  Mieke BrekelmansPerry den Brok  Theo Wubbels 《Contemporary educational psychology》2011,36(3):190-200

In this study the mean stability of classroom social climates during the first months of the school year and the deviation of individual classrooms (N = 48) and students (N = 1208) from this general trend were investigated by taping students’ interpersonal perceptions of their teachers. Multilevel growth modeling was used to identify the average development of the classroom social climate and between classroom and student differences in terms of this development. While significant differences between classrooms and students were found, these differences were rather stable over time. Most classrooms showed a slightly u-shaped trajectory. In only very few classrooms the quality of the social climate had increased at the end of the research period as compared to the very first lesson. Differences in the development between classrooms were associated to the emotional distance between teacher and students during the first lesson of the school year.  相似文献

新建本科院校人才培养的核心要素与实现途径     

张敬全  张富林  赵秀元 《运城学院学报》2014,(5):93-95

新建本科院校多以应用型人才培养为目标,而应用型人才培养的核心要素是课堂教学改革、课程建设和专业内涵发展。课堂教学改革是应用型人才培养的切入点,课程建设是应用型人才培养的核心环节,专业内涵建设是应用型人才培养的落脚点。三者的建设或改革都应以学生为中心,共同构成应用型人才培养的核心要素,并统一于应用型人才培养的实践之中。  相似文献
