Mathematics Faculty Scholarship
DBER attracts many faculty from other STEM disciplines, and these faculty have little or no specific training in DBER. DBER requires a mastery of quantitative, qualitative, and/or mixed methodologies, and also a nuanced understanding of breadth of topic, research questions, and theoretical frameworks. This interdisciplinarity is particularly challenging for emerging DBER researchers who often switch into DBER with only discipline specific content and research training. As part of a large study about how STEM faculty become involved with DBER, we interviewed a number of emerging DBER faculty about their pathways into DBER. We conducted a thematic analysis of these interviews …

Doctoral Dissertations and Projects
The purpose of this hermeneutic phenomenological study was to describe the attitudes and understandings for millennial first-career novice (FCMN) teachers toward transformational technology integration in the elementary classroom as it relates to the technological, pedagogical, and content knowledge framework (TPACK). Three research questions framed this study: (a) How do millennial first-career novice teachers from the Midwestern United States describe their level of content knowledge, technological knowledge, and pedagogical knowledge (TPACK) to support their teaching practices in the elementary classroom? (b) How do participants describe their approach to instructional decision-making based on their technological knowledge in the elementary classroom? (c) How, …

The Revolving Door Of Education: Teacher Turnover And Retention Amongst The Graduates Of A Liberal Arts Teacher Education Program, Gregory W. Dachille, Chloe Ruff
Education Faculty Publications
In the United States, elementary and secondary education teachers comprise 4% of the entire civilian workforce (Ingersoll, 2001). The composition of that 4% is changing because of teacher turnover. According to recent statistics, 46% of teachers leave the classroom within the first five years of teaching and 9.5% of teachers leave the classroom within their first year (Rinke, 2014; Riggs, 2013; Zheng & Zeller, 2016). This study is designed to examine the teaching experiences of graduates of one teacher education program and the potential differences between graduates who stay in teaching and those who leave. Throughout this study, the guiding …

The Experiences Of University Faculty Expected To Implement Edtpa Within A Teacher Preparation Program, Lance Kilpatrick
Faculty Scholarship – Education
The purpose of this transcendental phenomenological study was to examine the experiences of university faculty expected to implement a teacher performance assessment called edTPA within a teacher preparation program. This study synthesized the experiences university faculty members have when preparing and implementing the edTPA. A deep examination of 12 university faculty members who teach in teacher preparation programs in a Midwestern state where the edTPA is required for licensure offer their experience through a questionnaire, an individual interview, and a focus group interview. The data were collected, organized, and analyzed by employing transcendental phenomenological systematic data analysis procedures positioned to …
Rating Teachers To Help Them Grow, Emil E. Samuelson
Rating Teachers To Help Them Grow, Emil E. Samuelson
All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Education and Professional Studies
In 1936 there was considerable dissatisfaction with the rating scale being used in the supervision of student teaching at the Central Washington College of Education, and it was felt that a new scale was needed. Consequently, three faculty members, the primary supervisor, the supervisor of rural teaching, and the director of personnel and placement decided to make a detailed study and to construct a new rating scale. The Ellensburg scale, originally evolved for the rating of student teachers with emphasis on guiding their growth, should be equally helpful in the rating and guidance of teachers in service.

The Evaluation Of Teachers And Teaching, Emil E. Samuelson
All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Education and Professional Studies
The need for accurate evaluation of teachers and teaching is strongly indicated by various current situations. Among these is the oversupply of trained teachers and of candidates for admittance to teacher-training institutions. What candidates shall be selected for training? What teachers already trained shall be given preference in placement? And, finally, what criteria may be applied to determine professional advancement, Adequate evaluation of the type mentioned would help us to the answers of these questions.

Institutional Teacher Placement, Emil E. Samuelson
All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Education and Professional Studies
In the spring of 1938 the placement office of the Central Washington College of Education submitted a questionnaire to school superintendents in ninety communities in the state of Washington and asked their cooperation in filling it out. The purposes of the questionnaire were three : ( 1) to secure the reactions of school superintendents to placement practices and procedures now in vogue ; ( 2) to discover local conditions, individual preferences, community prejudices etc. which have a direct bearing on teacher placement; ( 3) to secure frank criticisms of placement service rendered and suggestions on the improvement of training-institution functions.
