This book was released on 2018 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Special educator teacher attrition has been an ongoing issue in the U.S. for decades. Urban districts face particular challenges with special educator teacher attrition due to high poverty rates and limited resources. Current research indicates that many factors contribute to the high rates of special educator attrition in urban areas, but there is limited information regarding the extent of the role job satisfaction plays in special educator teacher retention. Understanding the extent of this relationship enables district leaders to make informed decisions regarding additional supports that may be necessary to improve special educator retention. The purpose of this quantitative, correlational, explanatory research was to examine the relationship between urban special educators' level of job satisfaction and their intention to remain in their current positions. The central Research Question guiding this study was: What is the relationship between job satisfaction among special educators in two small cities and their intention to remain in their current teaching position? This research was grounded in both Herzberg's motivational and hygiene theory and Maslow's needs hierarchy theory. The researcher used both purposeful and snowball sampling to identify special educators in targeted small city districts in two counties within the same U.S. east coast region. A cross-sectional survey design was used to obtain current information regarding job satisfaction and teachers' intentions to remain in their current position. Data were analyzed using SPSS software to conduct a correlational analysis between the level of small city special educators' job satisfaction and their intention to remain in their current position. Results of the survey indicated that though the majority of participants reported high levels of job satisfaction, an equally high percentage planned to pursue employment outside of their current district. These data have the potential benefit district administrators who are interested in better supporting and retaining special educators, however it is evident that additional research is needed to better understand the factors motivating special educators to leave their positions.

Download or read book Special Education Teachers Self efficacy and Job Satisfaction in Youth Development Centers written by Kimberley Kerchelle Simmons and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The number of students with disabilities entering youth development centers is increasing exponentially. The youth development center schools that are responsible for providing academic services to these students are inadequately staffed with special education teachers to meet the behavioral and academic needs of juvenile offenders with disabilities. The purpose of this quantitative correlational study was to explore the relationship between special education teacher self-efficacy and job satisfaction in teachers within the twenty-five youth development center schools located throughout the Georgia DJJ System. The participants completed the Teachers' Sense of Self-Efficacy Survey (TSES) and the Job Satisfaction Survey (JSS). TSES was used to identify three sub-categories of classroom management, instructional strategies, and student engagement. The JSS was used to measure job satisfaction as defined by nature of work, pay, promotion, supervision, fringe benefits, operating conditions, coworkers, and contingent rewards communication. A series of Pearson product-moment correlations were used to measure the relationship between teacher self-efficacy and job satisfaction. The participants for the study included 66 special education teachers who teach juvenile offenders with disabilities in a secured youth development center. The conceptual framework for this study is based on Bandura's social cognitive theory. By understanding the relationship between special education teachers who teach in youth development centers, teacher self-efficacy, and job satisfaction, state departments of juvenile justice may be able to increase teacher retention, reduce the recidivism rate and improve educational outcomes of juvenile offenders with disabilities.

Download or read book Job Satisfaction and Self efficacy Score Differences in General and Special Education Teachers as Measured by the Job Satisfaction Survey and Teachers Sense of Efficacy Scale written by Jean Alford Carswell and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teacher turn over has been a concern over the last 30 years in the United States. The implementation of No Child Left Behind Act in 2002 impacted the accountability of teachers. This quantitative, correlation study endeavors to determine the relationship between teacher self-efficacy and job satisfaction. Within this study, teachers of a Title I school in the largest school district in a southern state were surveyed via hard copy. The Tschannen-Moran instrument, Teachers’ Sense of Efficacy Scale (2001), was used to identify three subscales: student engagement, instructional strategies, and classroom management. The Job Satisfaction Survey collected participants’ general satisfaction by analyzing nine subscales resulting in one unique satisfaction score. Finding a positive correlation between self-efficacy and job satisfaction will be beneficial to resource managers and principals as they attempt to lessen teacher turnover and increase resiliency in the field.
Download or read book Differences in Job Satisfaction Between Special Educators when Controlling for Sense of Community written by Jennifer Casi Cooke and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Attrition among educators is a continuing concern in the area of special education. Job satisfaction has been associated with teacher burnout and teacher attrition. Many times, multiple educators work in a close environment creating a need for community in special education. The purpose of this study is to identify differences in job satisfaction among special educator roles, including collaborative general education teachers and inclusive special education teachers, as well as self-contained special education teachers and paraprofessionals, when controlling for sense of community. A quantitative, causal comparative design was used to determine differences among job satisfaction between special educators. The study involved 93 participants with 34 collaborative general education teachers, 30 inclusive special education teachers, 14 self-contained special education teachers, and 15 paraprofessionals. Participants were selected from public school districts in Virginia containing elementary, middle, and high schools. Variables were collected using two survey instruments, including Paul Spector’s Job Satisfaction Survey (JSS), to determine educator satisfaction, and Wilfried Admiraal and Ditte Lockhorst’s Sense of Community in School Scale (SCSS) to identify educator’s perception of community. Data was gathered using SurveyMonkey. In addition, data was analyzed using an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) to determine if there were significant differences in job satisfaction between educator roles while controlling for the covariate, perceived sense of community.

This book was released on 2021 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Objective: The purpose of the current mixed-methods study was to examine self-efficacy and job satisfaction in general education and special education teachers of students with ASD. Method: Using a concurrent mixed methods research design, the quantitative portion of the study examined reports of self-efficacy pertaining to teaching students with ASD and job satisfaction from both general and special education teachers of students with ASD, and examined potential correlates to these constructs such as occupational stress, social support, knowledge of ASD, and school resources. The qualitative portion of the study employed semi-structure interviews to examine what factors influence teachers self-efficacy and job satisfaction. Results: Results revealed no significant differences in self-efficacy, job satisfaction, occupational stress, perceived social support or knowledge of ASD between general and special education teachers and no significant relation between self-efficacy and occupational stress, social support and school resources. However, analyses examining the potential relation of these variables with job satisfaction revealed statistically significant correlations between teachers job satisfaction and social support and their job satisfaction and levels of occupational stress. The qualitative data for the current study revealed four overarching themes related to overall teacher well-being: the impact of knowledge, experience and training; the importance of support; the impact of occupational stress; and the intrinsic rewards of teaching as protective factors. Following standard mixed methods methodology, quantitative and qualitative data was integrated and discussed.
Download or read book The Effects of Self efficacy Upon Performance Satisfaction and Retention Among Special Education Teachers written by John O'Rourke and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This qualitative case study examined teachers' perceptions of self-efficacy and its effects upon job performance, job satisfaction, and variables that affect job retention. The study site was a special education center located in the southeastern region of Pennsylvania. Participants included 32 special education teachers who were employed at the selected site. Participants completed three surveys, the Educators Demographic Data Sheet, the Maslach Burnout Inventory-Educators Survey, and the Teacher Sense of Efficacy Scale. In addition, 17 of the participants were individually interviewed and observations were conducted throughout the site during a two-week period. Results of this study indicate a relationship between perceived self-efficacy and job performance, job satisfaction, and variables that affect job retention. It was found that, although the participants felt themselves to be efficacious in classroom management, student engagement, and instruction strategies, they perceived an overall lack of efficacy in completing all the duties of their job due to an abundance of paperwork and lack of time. Results indicate that these low feelings of efficacy are perceived to have a negative impact upon job performance and satisfaction. Conversely, the participants perceived feelings of efficacy in areas that relate to job retention.
Download or read book Asia Pacific Perspectives on Teacher Self Efficacy written by Susanne Garvis and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-07-15 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book the editors have been able to provide a snapshot of current research being undertaken in the Asia-Pacific region in regards to teacher self-efficacy beliefs. This includes specific focuses on inclusive teaching, professionalism, subject domains, collective efficacy as well as specific contexts of early childhood education and care, primary schools education, special needs schools and teacher education. This allows the reader to begin to develop an understanding about the complexity of teacher self-efficacy as well as the development and relationship between self-efficacy and other theoretical constructs and concepts. The book begins with an overall summary of research in the Asia-Pacific region before moving to a specific focus on research in different countries. All of the chapters also provide hope to the reader about the possibilities of understanding and supporting teachers and schools beliefs to enhance teacher behaviour. Through the implementation of teacher self-efficacy beliefs into educational contexts, teacher education programmes and professional development programmes, there is strong hope that the outcomes of education systems in supporting all students in their learning can be achieved. By allowing teachers to develop their own sources of efficacy and supporting these through all stages of career development, all children can be supported in their own learning.

Download or read book Perceptions of New and Experienced Teachers on Teacher Efficacy and Burnout in Special Education written by Amanda Reynolds and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many areas of education are having difficulty retaining teachers; this is especially true in the field of special education. The present study compared the perceptions of new and experienced teachers on teacher efficacy and burnout in special education. Both new and experienced teachers shared similar views on stress, supports and passion for teaching. While there was not one specific contributing factor leading to stress, there were many areas where teachers did not feel supported and this could potentially lead to special educators leaving special education or the profession of teaching all together. The implications of these fmdings are discussed and some recommendations that may improve teacher efficacy and reduce burnout in special education teachers are presented. Some of these recommendations include direct monitored support for all new special educators, workshops for stress management and team building exercises to build staff morale. Implementation of these recommendations can assist in reducing stress and increasing overall job satisfaction. Key Words: Special education, burnout, teacher efficacy, stress
