Book excerpt: Few schools and institutions provide guidance and counseling programs and psychology services in Lebanon. According to the research paradigm adopted on roles and functions by Ivey & Robin (1966), directors, teachers, and parents are among the most important definers of the role functions of the school psychologist. This study was intended to determine need for school psychology services in schools and to compare priority of categories of role functions as perceived by definer groups selected from high and middle socioeconomic status schools in Beirut. The population included directors, teachers and parents of high and middle socioeconomic status schools in Beirut area. The sample had all directors, a selected number of elementary, intermediate, and secondary teachers of the selected schools, and a similar selected number of students' parents. A likert 5 point scale questionnaire was constructed to gather information on school psychology services, perception of different definer groups on need for school psychology role functions, and the school psychologist as a referral agent for the problems encountered at schools. The questionnaire was distributed to all the respondents with a cover letter that explained the purpose of the study. Totals, means and percentages were obtained. A series of chi-squared were calculated to compare levels of perceived need among and within different definer groups. It was concluded that a school psychologist is needed and preferred to conduct school psychology services within the school. The role functions of school psychology were perceived to b

Download or read book Handbook of Research on Student Engagement written by Sandra L. Christenson and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-02-23 with total page 839 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than two decades, the concept of student engagement has grown from simple attention in class to a construct comprised of cognitive, emotional, and behavioral components that embody and further develop motivation for learning. Similarly, the goals of student engagement have evolved from dropout prevention to improved outcomes for lifelong learning. This robust expansion has led to numerous lines of research across disciplines and are brought together clearly and comprehensively in the Handbook of Research on Student Engagement. The Handbook guides readers through the field’s rich history, sorts out its component constructs, and identifies knowledge gaps to be filled by future research. Grounding data in real-world learning situations, contributors analyze indicators and facilitators of student engagement, link engagement to motivation, and gauge the impact of family, peers, and teachers on engagement in elementary and secondary grades. Findings on the effectiveness of classroom interventions are discussed in detail. And because assessing engagement is still a relatively new endeavor, chapters on measurement methods and issues round out this important resource. Topical areas addressed in the Handbook include: Engagement across developmental stages. Self-efficacy in the engaged learner. Parental and social influences on engagement and achievement motivation. The engaging nature of teaching for competency development. The relationship between engagement and high-risk behavior in adolescents. Comparing methods for measuring student engagement. An essential guide to the expanding knowledge base, the Handbook of Research on Student Engagement serves as a valuable resource for researchers, scientist-practitioners, and graduate students in such varied fields as clinical child and school psychology, educational psychology, public health, teaching and teacher education, social work, and educational policy.
Download or read book Handbook of Classroom Management written by Carolyn M. Evertson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-31 with total page 1872 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Classroom management is a topic of enduring concern for teachers, administrators, and the public. It consistently ranks as the first or second most serious educational problem in the eyes of the general public, and beginning teachers consistently rank it as their most pressing concern during their early teaching years. Management problems continue to be a major cause of teacher burnout and job dissatisfaction. Strangely, despite this enduring concern on the part of educators and the public, few researchers have chosen to focus on classroom management or to identify themselves with this critical field. The Handbook of Classroom Management has four primary goals: 1) to clarify the term classroom management; 2) to demonstrate to scholars and practitioners that there is a distinct body of knowledge that directly addresses teachers’ managerial tasks; 3) to bring together disparate lines of research and encourage conversations across different areas of inquiry; and 4) to promote a vigorous agenda for future research in this area. To this end, 47 chapters have been organized into 10 sections, each chapter written by a recognized expert in that area. Cutting across the sections and chapters are the following themes: *First, positive teacher-student relationships are seen as the very core of effective classroom management. *Second, classroom management is viewed as a social and moral curriculum. *Third, external reward and punishment strategies are not seen as optimal for promoting academic and social-emotional growth and self-regulated behavior. *Fourth, to create orderly, productive environments teachers must take into account student characteristics such as age, developmental level, race, ethnicity, cultural background, socioeconomic status, and ableness. Like other research handbooks, the Handbook of Classroom Management provides an indispensable reference volume for scholars, teacher educators, in-service practitioners, and the academic libraries serving these audiences. It is also appropriate for graduate courses wholly or partly devoted to the study of classroom management.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Parental involvement and positive relationships between parents and schools are critical to children's educational success. Communication between school and home is necessary for these relationships to thrive. The school psychologist is in the ideal position to foster and maintain the open lines of communication needed for all to be partners in education. However, psychologists fill various roles and the perceptions of parents regarding the roles and functions of the school psychologist have been neglected in the research. This study was conducted to survey the perceptions and opinions of parents being served by school psychologists in the Pacific Northwest. A total of 325 parent surveys were sent to nine school districts; five surveys for each school. These surveys were to be given to parents of students in Special Education services. Twenty-one completed and usable surveys were returned. Ten of the respondents viewed their school psychologist as fulfilling a variety of functions. Most respondents voiced being generally satisfied with the services currently being offered. Seven of the parents recommended increasing individual counseling, social skills training, and parent training. Report writing was the only function suggested to be decreased. Those parents most satisfied with their psychologists had the most contacts with him/her during the school year and saw him/her as a people-oriented, caring person. The consensus from this study was that parents want a higher quantity of, and more family-focused, psychological services"--Document.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the years following the passage of Public Law 94-142, school psychologists' main role was to facilitate the placement of children into different educational programs (Fagan & Wise, 2000). The role of the school psychologist has shifted since that time, and today school psychology training programs produce practitioners who are equipped to handle much more. A continuation in the departure from the assessment and eligibility determination role of the school psychologist allows for a more proactive approach to problematic childhood and adolescent behaviors. A barrier that stands in the way of this role transformation are teachers' perceptions, knowledge, and reactions toward school psychologists. Teachers' perceptions and knowledge are particularly influential in determining the diversity, variability, and usefulness of school psychological services, as they are the main source of referrals (Merrell, Ervin, & Peacock, 2011). Therefore, it is important to understand teachers' perceptions of the role of the school psychologist because their perceptions influence how school psychologists are utilized to address student needs. Previous research in this area was conducted prior to the passage of Public Law 94-142 and does not reflect the changes mentioned above. The purpose of this study was to add updated research to this area and to understand the connection between teachers' perceptions and the role of the school psychologist. Forty preservice teachers from three teacher training programs completed a survey with different scenarios and were their perceptions about school psychologist would be equipped to handle the situation. Results indicated that the preservice teachers recognized the assessment role of the school psychologist but had less recognition of other roles. This finding suggests that teacher orientation presentations should communicate the breadth and depth of the role of the school psychologist so that they may be used to their full capabilities.
