This study investigated the effects of a classroom intervention on prospective elementary teachers’ ability to evaluate evidence
of student achievement of mathematical learning goals. The intervention was informed by a framework for teacher education
which aims to provide prospective teachers (PTs) with the skills needed to systematically learn from their own teaching practice.
Prospective teachers (N = 160) participated in an intervention aimed at addressing their misconceptions about evidence of student learning. Results
revealed that after the intervention, PTs were less likely to consider teacher behaviors to be evidence of student learning
and more likely to discount student responses that were irrelevant to a specified learning goal. However, PTs were still likely
to take procedural fluency as evidence of conceptual understanding and may have become overly skeptical of student understanding.
Implications of the study suggest new ways of developing prospective teachers’ ability to systematically study and improve
their teaching. 相似文献

This article explores how reflective practice may be facilitated among pre-service teachers preparing to teach in culturally diverse classrooms. The significance of the mentor teacher’s ability to reveal her/himself as a reflective practitioner in order to promote student reflection is well documented. The article specifically addresses one teacher educator’s approach to offering mentor support with a focus on reflective practices related to cultural diversity. She explores how her ethnographic doctoral study on the classroom participation of adult South Sudanese students in different Australian learning environments has informed her own practice as a teacher, and ways in which her teaching philosophy and values were influenced by the sustained reflection needed to complete the study. By making explicit an aspect of her reflective practice, she aims to add to the growing body of literature on how to engage pre-service teachers meaningfully in reflection on their own classroom practice, especially in relation to teaching to diversity. 相似文献

This study explored the influence of university-based teacher education courses on preservice teachers as they engaged in the field-based portion of their preparation. Forty-two preservice teachers contributed reflective writings about the successes and challenges they faced during field experiences in light of knowledge and skills learned during their university-based coursework. Participants’ self-reflective writings were coded and analyzed for emerging themes that cut across all responses. The results indicated a shift from concerns about performance of teaching tasks in the classroom to concerns about the performance of students in terms of learning. This shift was consistent with a goal of the preservice program, namely, helping preservice teachers focus on student learning. 相似文献

In this study, students’ perceptions of the classroom learning environment in Arab elementary schools were investigated. The
sample included 261 students from Grades 5 and 6. The questionnaire was developed at an Arab college of teacher education
by 16 fourth-year student teachers who were completing their studies toward a BEd degree. Articles on classroom learning environment
were distributed to the students, who then wrote items to assess learning environment. The items were evaluated for content
validity in relation to the Arab school culture, language, teachers’ teaching, students’ learning styles, teacher–student
relations, order and organisation, discipline and behaviours. The Classroom Learning Environment of Elementary Students (CLEES)
questionnaire consists of 32 items in four scales: Teacher’s Image, Group Work, Students’ Participation, and Order and Organisation.
The CLEES was used in a pilot study in two Grade 5 and 6 classes in order to validate it. The student teachers administered
the questionnaire to students in elementary schools. Data were analysed using SPSS (e.g. factor analysis and one-way ANOVA)
to validate the CLEES. No significant differences were found between boys and girls in classroom learning environment. However,
significant differences in CLEES perceptions were found between students from different grades (Grade 5 vs. Grade 6), age
groups and schools. The results are explained in the discussion section in relation to the characteristics of their schools. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to explore the nature of requisite teacher knowledge for teaching lower-track science students.
Using video accounts, student focus groups, and teacher reflections researchers documented missteps, dead-ends, and unfruitful
trajectories informed by the teacher’s incoming knowledge and compared these instances to necessary modifications informed
by students’ voices and cultural artifacts. Our study revealed the shifting nature of sociocultural and pedagogical content
knowledge of the teacher immersed in a context unlike that he experienced as a student. Results showed that teachers of majority
backgrounds could learn to teach diverse students with at least moderate success from the perspective of their students. Implications
for research and teacher education in diverse settings are discussed. 相似文献

This study examined the extent to which observed teaching practices and self-reported teacher stress predict children’s learning
motivation and phonological awareness in kindergarten. The pre-reading skills of 1,268 children were measured at the beginning
of their kindergarten year. Their learning motivation and phonological awareness were assessed in the following spring. Questionnaires
measuring teacher stress were filled out by 137 kindergarten teachers. A pair of trained observers used the Classroom Assessment
Scoring System (Pianta et al. 2008) to observe 49 kindergarten teachers from the whole sample on their emotional support, classroom organization, and instructional
support. The results of multilevel modeling showed that low teacher stress and high classroom organization predicted high
learning motivation in children and that the children’s learning motivation contributed to their level of phonological awareness.
Moreover, children’s learning motivation mediated the association between teacher stress and children’s phonological awareness.
The results emphasize the importance of teachers’ pedagogical well-being and classroom organizational quality for children’s
learning motivation. 相似文献

This study explores elementary teachers’ social understandings and employment of directives and politeness while facilitating
inquiry science lessons prior and subsequent to their participation in a summer institute in which they were introduced to
the scholarly literature on regulative discourse (directives used by teachers to regulate student behavior). A grounded theory
analysis of the institute professional development activities revealed that teachers developed an increased awareness of the
authoritative functions served by impolite or direct directives (i.e., pragmatic awareness). Furthermore, a comparative microethnographic
analysis of participants’ inquiry-based classroom practices revealed that after the institute teachers demonstrated an increased
ability to share authority with students by strategically making directive choices that were more polite, indirect, inclusive,
involvement-focused and creative. Such ability led to a reduced emphasis on teacher regulation of student compliance with
classroom behavioral norms and an increased focus on the discursive organization of the inquiry-based science learning/teaching
process. Despite teachers’ increased pragmatic awareness, teacher–student linguistic relationships did not become entirely
symmetrical subsequent to their participation in the summer institute (i.e., teacher authority was not completely relinquished
or lost). Based on such findings, it is argued that teachers need to develop higher levels of pragmatic awareness to become
effectively prepared to engage in language-mediated teacher–student interaction in the context of inquiry-based science classroom
discourse. 相似文献

Abstract This paper addresses the nature of reflective classroom practice in a setting where action research has been undertaken by both the student teachers and the teaching practice supervisor. It is based on a cross‐case study of the processes through which student teachers learn to teach. Specifically, the analysis focuses on how student teachers reflect on their experiences in learning to teach. The data are based on student teachers’ reported thoughts about their learning over a period of one year. The results contribute to the understanding of reflective classroom practice by highlighting first student teachers’ perceptions about learning to teach and second their reviews on classroom practice. The discussion also adds to the literature on teacher development taken from the novice‐expert research tradition. Accordingly, implications for curriculum development in teacher education are drawn. 相似文献

Drawing on extant theorizing and research on reflective teaching, this paper discusses the impact of an innovative methods course designed around the activity of student teachers’ reflections on their own classroom discourse, for their understandings of the connections between theory and practice. Situated in the context of foreign language pre-service teacher education in Israel, and focusing on one aspect of a larger research study on the connections that student teachers make between theory and practice, this paper presents three exemplary cases of student teachers’ learning. The connections exhibited by these three student teachers between theory (principles of pedagogy) and practice (the classroom discourse patterns that characterized their teaching) were interpreted as: (1) understanding how practice fits theory; (2) connecting theory and practice to generate grounded theories of practice; and (3) developing practical theories. We discuss these findings as related to the idiosyncratic character of students teachers’ learning and to activities in teacher education that enhance reflection on the meeting between theory and practice. 相似文献

Collaborating closely with a tenth-grade science teacher, we designed a Web-Based Learning Environment (Web-LE) to improve
the students’ motivation to learn science. Factors believed to enhance intrinsic motivation (challenge, control, curiosity,
and fantasy) were integrated into the instructional design of the Web-based learning tool. The Web-LE was implemented in the
teacher’s tenth-grade classroom as a three-day student-centered learning activity. Data collection methods included individual
student interviews, teacher interviews, motivation questionnaires, and observations. This study revealed multiple forms of
evidence that the Web-LE and the associated learning activity improved students’ motivation. This study illustrates the benefits
of educational researchers working closely with teachers using design-based research methods to successfully solve instructional
problems and identify reusable design principles. Design principles for the integration of intrinsic motivation factors into
the development of similar Web-LEs are presented as well as directions for future research. 相似文献

This paper explored how the use of weblogs within the portfolio framework affected portfolio production and development for
student teachers, and how the weblog-based electronic portfolio (WBEP) shaped student teachers’ reflective practice during
the student teaching practicum. The individuals participating in this study consisted of 31 elementary school student teachers
from a national university’s teacher education program in Taiwan. Qualitative data analysis revealed that about half the participants’
WBEP maturation level were at Level 2, the Curriculum Vitae WBEP. The two most prominent features of the WBEP platform on
participants’ reflective practice were personal editorship and dialogues with others. Additionally, blog publicity promoted
mandated dossier-like portfolios with which to evaluate performance with respect to external evaluation requirements. Thus,
the reflective themes of most WBEP contents were rather uniform in the study. 相似文献

Worldwide proliferation of pedagogical innovations creates expanding potential in the field of science education. While some
teachers effectively improve students’ scientific learning, others struggle to achieve desirable student outcomes. This study
explores a Taiwanese science teacher’s ability to effectively enhance her students’ science learning. The authors visited
a Taipei city primary school class taught by an experienced science teacher during a 4-week unit on astronomy, with a total
of eight, 90-minute periods. Research methods employed in this study included video capture of each class as well as reflective
interviews with the instructor, eliciting the teacher’s reflection upon both her pedagogical choices and the perceived results
of these choices. We report that the teacher successfully teaches science by creatively diverging from culturally generated
educational expectations. Although the pedagogical techniques and ideas enumerated in the study are relevant specifically
to Taiwan, creative cultural divergence might be replicated to improve science teaching worldwide. 相似文献

In this article we describe our engagement in self-study as part of an examination of design-based research for education. We focus on graduate-level online teacher education as an example of how self-study provided a means of examining deeply our teaching and our roles as teacher and designer in the learning environment. We posit that online learning environments are particularly well suited for self-study to enhance design perspectives because the interactions between teacher and students are informed by personal context and mediated by technological tools. The graduate students in our courses were teacher leaders in literacy or mathematics who were learning how to support professional development for other teachers. Throughout our self-study research we found ourselves drawing upon our previous design research experiences, which aided our ability to engage in self-study: We were part of the classroom system, focusing on our roles within the teaching and learning process as designers of the online learning environment. Three key design principles resulted from our self-study process: focusing on systems of learning and teaching, designing pedagogical tools and products, and using iterative processes. Engaging in self-study enhanced our understanding and implementation of synchronous online instruction, particularly regarding our use of technological tools to enhance student learning and support learning communities. 相似文献

This article re-examines the learning environment in an after-school science program for socio-economically disadvantaged
children, attempting to discover why the particular group we studied failed to make significant progress between pre and post
program testing, while other groups undergoing the same program elsewhere succeeded. Data composed of in class observations,
students’ class workbooks and perceptive/cognitive interviews was analyzed qualitatively to construct a picture of the learning
environment as experienced by both the students and their student teacher, Liora. Our primary finding revealed a striking
dissonance between the program’s student-centered theory (based on the tenets of social-constructivism) and the classroom
reality enforced by Liora, who ran the lessons primarily as a monologue that left very little room for active student participation.
This disparity was further complicated by an ambiguity in Liora’s position as an authority figure, wherein she wavered between
her predilection for a rigid, authoritative teaching environment and a desire to be her students’ friend and confidante. 相似文献
