This book was released on 2018 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a result of a fierce debate about the most important factors of effective therapy, the American Psychological Association (APA) defined Evidence-Based Practice in Psychology (EBPP) as "an approach to clinical practice which integrates best available research with clinical expertise in context of patient characteristics, culture, and preferences." (APA, 2006, p. 273). Research suggests that positive attitudes toward EBPP are related to use of EBPP (Nelson & Steele, 2007). This study utilized a social cognitive theory (Bandura, 1986) framework to examine the relationships between counseling self-efficacy, research self-efficacy, past training experiences, knowledge of EBPP, and attitudes toward EBPP. The participants were doctoral interns in the field of psychology who completed an online survey. Data analysis included MANCOVA and mediated regressions. The results highlight the importance of research self-efficacy in predicting components of EBPP, and the role of classes taken on EBPP in that relationship. The results also suggest that students coming from a PhD program had higher research self-efficacy as compared to students from PsyD programs. Research self-efficacy was a significant predictor of two subscales of the scale measuring attitudes toward evidence-based practice in psychology. Additionally, research self-efficacy was significantly predicted by number of classes in EBPP. Significant correlations among the variables added to our knowledge of relationships between the above- mentioned factors.

Book excerpt: Adjunct faculty teach over 50% of courses in U.S. higher education but little is known about them as educators. Strong evidence has been found in the K-12 literature demonstrating the link between teachers' beliefs, instructional practices, and subsequent student outcomes. Teaching self-efficacy, beliefs in one's capabilities to perform specific tasks in a particular context, is an important contributor to motivation and performance (Tschannen-Moran et al., 1998). This research advances teaching and learning literature in higher education and provides insight into an understudied population of educators by exploring adjunct faculty's teaching self-efficacy and factors that influence those beliefs. In this mixed methods study, an explanatory sequential design was used to explore teaching-self efficacy among adjunct faculty at a Mid-Atlantic community college. Adjunct faculty were surveyed using the College Teaching Self-Efficacy Scale (Prieto Navarro, 2006). Data were selected from the surveys for further explanation in subsequent interviews. Quantitative and qualitative data were merged to form an overall interpretation of teaching self-efficacy and factors that influenced those beliefs. Teaching self-efficacy was highest in creating a positive learning environment, followed by overall teaching self-efficacy, and then instructional skills. Assessing student learning was rated lowest. Adjunct faculty with fewer than five years teaching experience had lower self-efficacy scores than those teaching for six or more years. Mastery experiences and feedback from students and full-time faculty mentors emerged as the most influential sources of teaching self-efficacy. Student evaluations and attending Convocation were positively correlated with scores in overall teaching self-efficacy, instructional skills, and creating a positive learning environment. Adjunct faculty identified working to accommodate the needs of a diverse range of learners as the most significant challenge to teaching self-efficacy followed by challenges related to working conditions including inadequate pay and job insecurity. Key recommendations for promoting adjunct faculty's teaching self-efficacy beliefs include increasing opportunities for interaction with departmental colleagues to share best practices and teaching resources, and offering trainings at flexible times and in creative formats on instructional skills, assessment practices, and learning theories. Improving onboarding processes, recognizing different needs of adjunct faculty based on experience, and reassessing pay and employment structures are also needed.
Download or read book The Relationship Between Faculty Confirmation Behaviors and Community College Student Self efficacy written by Deidra Peaslee and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nearly half of all college students in the United States begin at community colleges, including higher numbers of students coming from backgrounds which have been historically underrepresented in higher education. Despite record numbers of new students enrolling at community colleges, the number of students who are retained at the institution long enough to be deemed successful, either through transferring or graduating remains largely unchanged and is inadequate to reduce the achievement gap. One theory is that some students enter college with little confidence in their ability to be successful and faculty members are in a unique position to impact student self-efficacy, which ultimately may impact student success. A literature review explores the different ways self-efficacy is tied to college student success and ways the classroom can be used before quantitatively assessing whether a relationship exists between confirmation behaviors employed by faculty members in the classroom and changes in reported academic self-efficacy of students. The research was conducted through a causal comparative matched pair design with Midwestern community college students during their first semester. The results support a relationship between change in self-efficacy and perceived faculty confirmation (rs= .212, n=70, p=.039*), particularly for female students (rs=.331, n=35, p=.026*) and for those students where neither parent completed a degree higher than high school (rs=.316, n=46, p=.016*).

Download or read book Business Professors Using High quality Connections written by and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research examines the role the college professor plays in student self-efficacy by observing the communication patterns in the classroom. Professors' academic optimism is their sense and belief that they can teach effectively, that their students can learn, and that the system will support them as they press hard for learning. Students' self-efficacy is the belief that they can overcome difficulty and master the course material. This research utilizes a current business management theory of high-quality connections (HQCs) to attempt to unpack the professor's role in student self-efficacy. This research examines the professor's classroom use of high-quality connections (HQCs) characteristics, the words, the content and non-content teaching pedagogy, methods and materials, and the actions that may produce student self-efficacy. The unique contributions of this research are the use of business theory as applied to the college classroom and the development of theory about HQCs and student self-efficacy.
