Book excerpt: Author's abstract: The purpose of this study was to examine teachers perception of their principals interpersonal communication skills in relation to teacher performance. This was a qualitative study, where an authoethnographic mode of inquiry was employed. Authoethnography describes research studies of a personal nature (Ellis & Bochner, 2000). Using an interactive interview technique, five teacher participants were asked questions in an effort to elicit teachers perception of principals interpersonal communication skills as they relate to teachers performance. This study is significant in determining which interpersonal communication skills as perceived by teachers were most effective and essential in increasing teaching performance. Findings revealed that face-to face communication as the most common means preferred by teachers in the teacher-principal dyad. Attitudes, ideas, behaviors of the principals do affect the performance of teachers. Principals easily articulated goals and missions of the school, but face-to-face interactions were most difficult for principals. Poor interpersonal communication of the principal affected the emotional and physical states of teachers such as depression, low-self esteem, feelings of incompetency, and seeking new place of employment. When principals demonstrated good interpersonal communication skills, the teachers were motivated to give more than 100% effort. Teachers perceptions of their principal were manifested in their efforts to do their jobs. Chapter 4 presented a more detail descriptions of findings and chapter 5 reported a comprehensive analysis of the data. Several conclusions emerged from this study. First, those principals who have excelled in demonstrating interpersonal communication skills have experienced a school where teachers were functioning in a climate conducive to teaching and learning. Secondly, those principals who have not demonstrated good interpersonal communication skills have experienced teachers who have chosen not to extend themselves beyond expectation. Finally, principals affected teacher performance in one way or another regardless of their ability to demonstrate interpersonal communication skills effectively.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This dissertation explored veteran teachers' perceptions of the interpersonal communication strategies that have supported their continued development and school interactions. This study also investigated the ways in which mentorship supported the development of these skills. This study was conducted because of the crucial need for teacher retention. Previous research indicated that a large percentage of teachers leave the profession within the five years of teaching (Sutcher et al., 2016). Therefore, this study sought to understand ways teachers have used their communication skills to sustain a career in education. Sixteen veteran teachers who had taught five years or more were interviewed in this qualitative study. Semi-structured interviews were conducted in the winter of 2017 and 2018 and allowed teachers to examine their own interpersonal communication skills and strategies that have influenced their growth in education. Responses were analyzed using thematic analysis which helped identify in what ways communication skills had sustained teachers throughout their years of service in education. Five themes for interpersonal communication were revealed: Listen to Generate Understanding; Promote Collegiality; Build Positive Relationships with Students; Colleagues, and Parents; Provide Direct Feedback to Parents and Students; and Pay Attention to Nonverbal Communication as well as two themes for mentorship: Providing a Caring Environment for Teachers and Receiving Feedback Supported Teacher Development. Recommendations were offered to credential programs, schools, and district leaders. Ideas for future research included further studies of parent and student communication and the exploration of cultural communication and challenging school communication."--Abstract, p. 1.

Download or read book Interpersonal Relationships in Education From Theory to Practice written by David Zandvliet and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-08-07 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together recent research on interpersonal relationships in education from a variety of perspectives including research from Europe, North America and Australia. The work clearly demonstrates that positive teacher-student relationships can contribute to student learning in classrooms of various types. Productive learning environments are characterized by supportive and warm interactions throughout the class: teacher-student and student-student. Similarly, at the school level, teacher learning thrives when there are positive and mentoring interrelationships among professional colleagues. Work on this book began with a series of formative presentations at the second International Conference on Interpersonal Relationships in Education (ICIRE 2012) held in Vancouver, Canada, an event that included among others, keynote addresses by David Berliner, Andrew Martin and Mieke Brekelmans. Further collaboration and peer review by the editorial team resulted in the collection of original research that this book comprises. The volume (while eclectic) demonstrates how constructive learning environment relationships can be developed and sustained in a variety of settings. Chapter contributions come from a range of fields including educational and social psychology, teacher and school effectiveness research, communication and language studies, and a variety of related fields. Together, they cover the important influence of the relationships of teachers with individual students, relationships among peers, and the relationships between teachers and their professional colleagues.
