Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to a study conducted by Muller, Gorrow, and Fiala (2011), nearly 50% of America’s beginning teachers exit the profession within their first five years and 17% do not complete their first full year of teaching. Teachers may have an overwhelming amount of obstacles, which can impede them from having a long and successful career in education (Taylor, 2013). Obstacles that can cause teacher attrition in education are low salaries, lack of administrative support, and issues with student discipline. An additional issue that has created high stress situations for many teachers is the emphasis on standardized testing. Regardless of the number of variables that have impacted the adolescent population, the emphasis on standardized test scores and academic achievement has led to increased accountability (Styron & Peasant, 2010). In particular, The No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act of 2001 (2002) has made accountability a priority.The purpose of this study is to extend the research of previous studies to explore a possible relationship between teachers’ personality type and their personal beliefs in their ability to help students in a high school environment. This study provides significant results indicating that teacher resilience and aspirations are correlated. From these results, the conclusion can be drawn that teaching as a profession, considering all the factors that create a high attrition rate, can endure, but with the aspiration to motivate students, teachers, staff members, and parents in pursuit of academic success.

Download or read book Beliefs About Text and Instruction With Text written by Ruth Garner and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-06-06 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every day in classrooms, teachers and students think about and with text. Their beliefs about what text is, who created it, and how to evaluate it are an influence, often a profoundly important one, on how they use text. This book brings together research on epistemology, belief systems, teacher beliefs, and text -- research that is usually presented separately, and in different disciplines. The editors illustrate what a cross-disciplinary body of work looks like, what varied insights are possible, and when the central concerns are beliefs and text. Written by respected researchers in the fields of psychology and education, the chapters are clustered thematically into three sections: * childrens' and adults' beliefs about text. * beliefs about what should be taught and how particular content should be taught and assessed in classrooms. * commentary on knowing versus believing, on the literatures that inform this body of work, and on belief systems. The first to address this important topic in a single volume, this book provides an essential synthesis of current research in an active area of inquiry. The chapters are pieces framed in a time and place with particular intentions -- one of those intentions is that they separately and as a whole stimulate discussion about beliefs and text.

Download or read book Successful Teacher Personality and Other Correlates written by Elena Mirela Samfira and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2023-11-08 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The question of what makes a good teacher has been asked by practitioners, policymakers, and researchers. Teachers are important drivers of student success in the immediate term, such as academic success. Nowadays, the education process is influenced by various factors which can all have a strong effect on the quality of teaching and learning. Having the intention to create high-quality teaching and learning, it is very important to clearly determine what those factors are, and what kind of effect they have on the education process. Different teacher characteristics and competencies have been distinguished in the literature as being relevant predictors of their instructional quality. Even though educational psychology has emphasized the significance of the personality role in the education process, the empirical evidence on the relationship between teacher characteristics and instructional quality is not yet conclusive. Certainly, there is much more to find out.

Download or read book Teacher s Personality and Professionalism written by Jaan Mikk and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2010 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The papers in this collection analyse the professionalism of teachers in Estonia and neighbouring countries from several perspectives. Data from the OECD TALIS survey have been used to study the transformation of the teaching profession in recent years. As Estonia is bicultural, one paper deals with the transition to Estonian as the language of instruction in Russian-medium schools. Teacher professionalism is related to communication skills and this is also explored. It is generally accepted that teachers' beliefs guide them in their daily work, and so three papers deal with the professional self and self-efficacy beliefs among teachers. In addition, an adaptation of the Teacher Efficacy Scale to the Estonian context is presented. The professional experience of young teachers is analysed and a comparison of the school practicum in teacher training in the Netherlands, Estonia and Finland is explored. Finally, the stress that teachers experience has been studied along with the preferred strategies for coping.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From grade school to graduate school, from the poorest public institutions to the most affluent private ones, our educational system is failing students. In his provocative new book, cognitive scientist and bestselling author Roger Schank argues that class size, lack of parental involvement, and other commonly-cited factors have nothing to do with why students are not learning. The culprit is a system of subject-based instruction and the solution is cognitive-based learning. This groundbreaking book defines what it would mean to teach thinking. The time is now for schools to start teaching minds!
