Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teacher effectiveness is the effective linkage of teacher competence and teacher performance with the accomplishment of teacher goals. It mainly depends on the teacher characteristics such as knowledge base, sense of responsibility, and inquisitiveness; the student characteristics such as opportunity to learn, and academic work; the teaching factors such as lesson structure, and communication; the learning aspects such an involvement and success; and the classroom phenomena such as environment and climate, and organisation and management. If the teachers take care of these factors, their effectiveness can be enhanced to the optimum level. Considering the very importance of teacher effectiveness, this study has been undertaken to study the teacher effectiveness of secondary school teachers. The secondary school teachers are possessing high teacher effectiveness.
Download or read book Attitudes Towards Inclusive Schooling written by Susanne Schwab and published by Waxmann Verlag. This book was released on 2018 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last two decades, the implementation of inclusive schooling has increased significantly in European countries and worldwide. According to empirical evidence, one of the most important success factors in implementing inclusive schooling are the attitudes of the actors involved. Previous studies have shown that positive attitudes towards inclusive schooling are not only a condition for success regarding the implementation, but also an important outcome variable of inclusive education. The present study provides empirical insights into the attitudes towards students with learning disabilities and behavioral disorders. A study called ATIS-STEP (Attitudes Towards Inclusive Schooling - Students', TEachers' and Parents' Attitudes) was conducted in the school year 2016/17 in 48 inclusive classrooms in Austria. It is the first study to provide longitudinal data that examines the attitudes of the three different stakeholder groups: students, teachers and parents. Furthermore, the interdependency of the attitudes of the three groups, as well as the influence of previous contact experience on the attitudes are analyzed and discussed.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to investigate teachers' perceptions about the effectiveness of heterogeneous grouping on improving student achievement for students historically identified as either lower-achieving or higher-achieving, as well as for students in general. Ten teachers completed and returned a researcher constructed survey and eight teachers participated in individual interviews. In an effort to learn more about the effectiveness of heterogeneous grouping on improving student achievement, this research study identified and evaluated data spanning the period of time from the study site's initial implementation of heterogeneous grouping to the current time period. The findings of this study indicated that heterogeneous grouping increased the academic achievement and social and emotional growth of students; however, results were mixed regarding the value of heterogeneous grouping on improving equity. Specifically, teachers believed that equity increased for lower-achieving students as a result of heterogeneous grouping but not necessarily for higher-achieving students. Interestingly, some teachers described the removal of homogeneous classes where students were afforded exclusive access to curricula, resources and instruction with similarly capable peers as evidence to support their view of resulting inequities for higher-achieving students. Some teachers provided a different perspective stating that heterogeneous grouping and open access were models for educational equity because they were founded in the belief that all students should have the same access to curricula, resources, and instruction. The results of this study documented that teachers believed that all students should have access to a rigorous curriculum. Teachers also reported having high expectations for students. However, teachers admitted they were less likely to encourage lower-achieving students to challenge International Baccalaureate (IB) courses than they would their higher-achieving counterparts. This discrepancy raised some questions regarding the value of open access as a detracking tool. Several teachers specifically noted that despite the efforts to detrack through the use of heterogeneous grouping in grades nine and ten, the reliance on open access as a detracking tool and the continued existence of the Regents-level pathway constituted a return to a two track system. They noted that the only difference was that the students were tracking themselves versus being tracked based on perceived ability levels.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can we really evaluate teacher effectiveness? Systems of teacher appraisal and evaluation are being created across the world in order to monitor and assess teacher performance. But do the models used really give a fair evaluation? Based on international research, the authors argue that teacher effectiveness is too narrowly conceptualised and methods of measuring it are not attuned to the real contexts in which teachers work. They propose a model of differential teacher effectiveness which takes into account that: * teachers may be more effective with some categories of students than with others * teachers may be more effective with some teaching contexts than others * teachers may be more effective with some subjects or components than with others. Building on and developing previous research on models of teacher effectiveness and current theories, the authors open up possible new debates which will be of interest to academics and researchers working in this area throughout the world.

Download or read book Transnational Spaces and Regional Localization Social Networks Border Regions and Local Global Relations written by Angela Pilch Ortega and published by Waxmann Verlag. This book was released on 2012 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Globalization has encouraged worldwide mobility, intensified migration and supported growing interconnectedness through new technologies; it has therefore substantially contributed to the development of so-called transnational spaces. This volume focuses on transnational spaces which should not be understood as locations on a map or as sealed containers, but instead as relational social areas which are composed of various relationships. Transnationalization increases liberation and/or emancipation from place because social relations overcome physical space and local, regional and national boundaries. As a consequence, a reconfiguration of social, cultural, political and economic scopes of action occurs. This volume reveals that for people in general and for migration movements in particular, new borders have been established in many places all over the world. The biographies of global actors and migrants reference this alteration of space. Additionally this volume calls special attention to border regions and their social configurations. Borders appear as narratives which can have an enormous impact on social structures. This book further deals with different aspects and various tensions having to do with local and global change, interplay and interdependence. Globalization leads to development that often ignores regional needs, supports the continuation of post-colonial power and maintains hegemonic dominance.

This book was released on 2019-11-20 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This qualitative case study was developed to explore teachers’ perceptions of the use of differentiated instructional strategies and the impact it had on teacher practice and student learning after engaging in a professional development initiative. Teachers were trained using two professional development modules; a 90-minute face-to-face module and/or, an eight-hour book club. The research questions addressed how targeted professional development, in differentiated instruction, changed teacher instructional practice and how teachers, who used differentiated instructional strategies and techniques, perceived these strategies impacted student learning. Data instruments included teacher perception surveys, demographic surveys, classroom observations, lesson plan checklists, semi-structured questionnaires, and book club evaluations were collected over a two month time period, were analyzed from themes using a manual coding system. Based on the multiple sources of data collected, teachers needed change for their instructional practices and more differentiated instructional strategies in their daily lesson delivery models.
