The Assessment Of Teaching Practice : What Criteria Should We Choose?, C. P. Hodgson

Australian Journal of Teacher Education

For a number of years now, the practical element of pre-service teacher education has been taken in primary and secondary schools under the guidance of members of the school staff, and tutors from the college or university department of education. The tutor may also be called upon to give an assessment of the student's ability to teach. Despite various attempts to break away from assessments by grading, the fact remains that the majority of student-teachers practise are assessed this way. The recurrent problem, then, is on what criteria should the assessment be based?

Training Teachers To Facilitate Inquiry, J. H. Lake

Australian Journal of Teacher Education

Within the broad context of the topic Pre-Service and In-Service Education, I have decided to focus my attention on one rather narrow aspect of the pre-service education of primary school teachers. The topic which I want to consider is one which I have called " Training Teachers to Facilitate Inquiry " The examples which I ' ll use are drawn primarily from the broad field of primary science education. However since the type of intellectual activity involved in inquiry is desired in all areas of the primary school curriculum, I trust that what I have to say will have application …

Values Hierarchies Of Three Groups Of Spanish-English Multilingual Adolescents, Jon Graham Jonz

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

The research reported in this dissertation was directed toward uncovering and documenting relationships that exist between language and ideology, though It was originally conceived to be the first phase of a research effort whose purpose was to demonstrate that the experimental manipulation of belief systems would have differential effects as a function of the language used in the manipulative process. Prior to the experiment, however, it was necessary to demonstrate that belief systems could be reliably measured in each of a multilingual’s languages, and that those belief systems might indeed fluctuate as a function of the language in which they …

Sex And Curriculum Differences In Conceptions Of The Teacher Role: A Role Theoretical Analysis, Steven Michael Koning

Masters Theses

This study is concerned with factors which influence the way individuals conceptualize and define their social roles. Role theory suggests that role conceptions, which are individual orientations to a role, are affected by expectations associated with the role and personality characteristics that an individual brings to the role. These suggestions are tested by examining sex and curriculum differences in conceptions of the teacher role among education students at a midwestern university. Conceptions of teacher control and nurturance are assessed by two scales developed by the author. Results indicate that factors associated with a student's curriculum influence orientations toward teacher control …

The Relationship Of Socio-Cultural Variables To Selected Personality Traits Among A Group Of American Indians, Albert B. Hiat

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

The relationship of socio-cultural variables to selected personality variables was examined utilizing a sample of 141 Pueblo adolescent boys and girls from grade 7 through 12 with a mean age of 14. 9. Each subject was administered the 16PF and the TIB and predictions were made about scores and scoring distributions based on the Pueblo socio-cultural system as described in the anthropological literature. With a few exceptions the sample mean scores and score distributions were not significantly different from those of the norm groups of the tests utilized. A process of biculturation on plural acculturation was proposed to explain the …

Group Psychotherapy Effects On Internal-External Locus Of Control, Richard P. Reed

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

The Internal-External locus of control construct (Rotter, 1966) has been investigated in a variety of areas. One area that has not received the attention it should is that of psychotherapeutic applications. Until now there has been no research testing the use of therapy with indi­viduals who fall at the extremes of the I-E continuum. The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of short-­term group therapy on changing inmates' expectations of locus of control in a prison population.

The sample consisted of 40 male inmates at the Peni­tentiary of New Mexico. All were self-referred and had been placed …

The Relative Dominance Of Encoding Attributes In Children's Short-Term Memory, Andrew J. Joniak Jr.

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

Th~ proactive interference (PI) release procedure was used in two experiments to assess encoding, differential encoding, and the relative: dominance of encoding attributes in children's short-term memory. The procedure consisted of Ss receiving a series of memory tests, each of which involved the recall of a triad of auditorily-presented words after a 14 second retention interval. The Ss in the experimental groups received four successive recall tests with triads of words which were homogeneous with respect to a given attribute. After four homogeneous triads, a fifth altered triad was presented. The altered triad words were also homogeneous with respect to …

Fantasy Predisposition: Its Measurement And Effect On Toy Selection And Use In Kindergarten Children., Virginia Mckinney Henderson

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

The purpose of this study was to investigate two basic questions. Can present screening measures successfully differentiate between children with high and low predispositions to fantasy in this particular population? If so, will the two groups respond differently to toys which vary on the basis of their form and structure, and will the groups differ on certain other behavioral correlates of fantasy such as persistence, originality of story themes and flexibility? The two parts of the study corresponded to the two questions being raised.

A Critique Of Language Learning And Theory In The Audio-Lingual Method Of Teaching English As A Foreign Language, Stephen Gregory Hanchey

MA TESOL Collection

In this paper I investigate the claims on which many present ESL methods are based and examine them in view of recent developments in both learning theory and linguistics. There are reasons to think that the audio-lingual method is grounded in inadequate theories of learning and linguistics; if so, this warrants experiments in new methods and re-examination of such currently acceptable teaching methods as repetition, imitation, and pattern practice. In particular, I examine the practices of the audiolingual method which are based on behaviorist and structural linguistic theories, especially those practices which are extensions of theories about child language acquisition, …
