Implementing Humane Technology: Short-Term Training for Teachers |
| |
| Abstract: | AbstractThis study was undertaken to determine if one brief workshop in humane education would change teacher classroom behavior sufficiently to bring about recognizable student gains. Twenty-two elementary and nine secondary teachers were trained to use Flanders’ Interaction Analysis to assess their classroom behavior and to build programs for improvement based on that assessment. While the single session did produce statistically significant gains on a number of indices, it was not sufficient to change behavior patterns so as to result in measureable student gains. It was concluded that the short-term training was enough to train the teachers to use the instrument for assessment, but not enough to bring about behavior change. |
