Elementary School Teachers’ Lived Experiences Of Teaching Nutrition: A Qualitative Study, Ashley P. Vito Ms
Elementary School Teachers’ Lived Experiences Of Teaching Nutrition: A Qualitative Study, Ashley P. Vito Ms
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Early nutrition education is crucial for lifelong health and learning (Cusick et al., 2016). Elementary schools and teachers play a significant role in shaping children's understanding of nutrition (Cotton et al., 2020). Yet, there's limited research on teachers' experiences teaching nutrition to elementary students and how it affects their well-being. This qualitative study examines 13 Ontario-based teachers' experiences in delivering nutrition education. Interviews revealed themes such as teachers' perceptions of their role and secondly challenges and facilitators in teaching nutrition, including time constraints, resource scarcity, body image, and cultural differences. These findings offer insights into the complexities teachers face in …
Educators' Knowledge And Confidence About Teaching Students With Exceptionalities, Allison E. Horsley
Educators' Knowledge And Confidence About Teaching Students With Exceptionalities, Allison E. Horsley
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Ontario teachers, who work with students of varying strengths and needs, must address the challenges posed by numerous exceptionalities. This study recruited both elementary and secondary in-service teachers (N= 95) and examined teachers’ knowledge and confidence in teaching students with exceptionalities. Findings reveal that teachers feel less confident in teaching students who are deaf/Hard of Hearing and blind/low vision, while they feel most confident in teaching students with learning disabilities and behavioural exceptionalities. Despite self-reported knowledge in behavioural exceptionalities, teachers expressed a need for additional support. Teachers are also more confident in assessing strengths than needs and implementing accommodations over …
The Experiences Of Lesbian And Queer Female Teachers In Canadian Schools, Chen Lin
The Experiences Of Lesbian And Queer Female Teachers In Canadian Schools, Chen Lin
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
This study examines the work experiences of lesbian/ queer female teachers in Canada and how they manage their identities in face of homophobia and heteronormativity in school. I employ a case study involving semi-structured interviews with 4 participants in 3 Canadian provinces – Alberta, Manitoba, and Ontario. The chief finding of this research is that homophobia and heteronormativity prevalent in school not only prevents lesbian and queer female teachers from coming out to everyone in school but also limits their access to the resources and support at work. This study makes a contribution given that very little existing research focuses …
Prediction Of Teacher Well-Being Through Beliefs: A Mixed-Methods Study Of Educators, Annie Beatty
Prediction Of Teacher Well-Being Through Beliefs: A Mixed-Methods Study Of Educators, Annie Beatty
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Teachers’ beliefs regarding students with disabilities and their overall well-being are critical for successful inclusion. The current project sought to explore whether teacher beliefs predict teacher well-being and aimed to increase our understanding of how teachers’ experiences with inclusion influence well-being and teaching practices. Participants (n=67) completed a demographic questionnaire, the Beliefs about Learning and Teaching Questionnaire, and the Kessler-6 instrument. Eleven teachers participated in interviews regarding their experiences in inclusion and relevant teaching practices. Results suggest that increased professional experience predicted higher levels of distress in teachers. Additionally, thematic analysis of the interviews identified five themes regarding the current …
Exploring The Professional Development Needs Of Teachers Regarding Trauma-And-Violence-Informed-Care, Lisa M. Reynolds
Exploring The Professional Development Needs Of Teachers Regarding Trauma-And-Violence-Informed-Care, Lisa M. Reynolds
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
While Trauma-and-Violence-Informed-Care (TVIC) within classrooms promotes safety for all students, it is especially important for those with past or ongoing experiences of trauma and violence—and for those with unique stressors, such as military-connected students (MCS). The current study therefore sought to determine when and how best to present teachers with TVIC training. Correlation and regression analyses were conducted to examine survey responses from 89 Ontario teachers and teacher candidates, and twelve follow-up interviews were examined using reflexive thematic analysis. Results show that organizational support and teacher wellness are important for promoting effective professional development (PD). Teachers, whose limited resources and …
Well, Daw! That’S Why I Don’T Sound Like The Recording: Music Production In Elementary School Music Education, Johnny Touchette
Well, Daw! That’S Why I Don’T Sound Like The Recording: Music Production In Elementary School Music Education, Johnny Touchette
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
In this dissertation, I discuss how elementary students responded to a music curriculum that foregrounds music production practices. The following question guided this inquiry: How can music industry professionals, music teachers, and students collaborate, share ideas and their experiences to inform a curricular design for public elementary school music education? I theorized that music production practices should be introduced at an earlier stage of learning than discussed by other educators, i.e., at the secondary level. The study consisted of adapting, implementing, and reflecting on a music production curriculum in public elementary school music education through participatory action research, alongside three …
