Lärares syn på litteratursamtal : En studie om mellanstadielärares användning och inställning till litteratursamtal / Teachers' view of literature discussion : A study of middle school teachers use and thoughts of literature discussion

Färdig, Lucas, De La Espriella Stenberg, Lucia January 2022 (has links)
Denna empiriska studie avser att undersöka hur en grupp mellanstadielärare använder sig av litteratursamtal i undervisningen och deras inställning till arbetssättet. Tidigare forskning visar att litteratursamtal har positiva effekter på elevers lärande. Därför vore det intressant att undersöka hur mellanstadielärare använder sig av litteratursamtal i sin undervisning. Studiens undersökning kommer att baseras på kvalitativa intervjuer där tre mellanstadielärare berättar om sina erfarenheter av litteratursamtal och hur de använder sig av arbetssättet. Den insamlade datan analyserades utifrån studiens frågeställningar och de centrala begrepp som genomsyrar studien. Resultatet tyder på en positiv inställning hos de tillfrågade lärarna gällande användning av litteratursamtal. De tillfrågade lärarna berättar att litteratursamtal är ett återkommande arbetssätt i deras undervisning. Det går att dra kopplingar mellan studiens resultat och den tidigare forskningen som lyfter fram olika tillvägagångssätt för att uppnå ett effektivt och gynnande litteratursamtal.

Teacher Perceptions of Pay-for-Performance: An Investigation of Four Middle School Pay-for-Performance Programs in a Large Urban School District

Whitaker, Norbert L., Sr. 05 1900 (has links)
In this study, I explored the different perceptions of teachers in a large urban school district in Texas towards a pay-for-performance program used on their respective campuses between 2011-2016. In total, 97 teachers from four different middle school campuses participated in this study. A descriptive analyst was conducted on teacher responses to an online survey to answer the research questions examined in this study: 1) What are teachers' perceptions of the pay-for-performance program's impact on teacher motivation?, 2) What are teachers' perceptions of the pay-for-performance program's impact on teacher retention?, and 3) What are the differences among teachers' perceptions of the pay-for-performance programs on the participating campuses? The results indicate 48.3% and 53.4% of the participants perceive pay-for-performance programs as having a positive impact on teacher motivation and teacher retention, respectively. Additionally, the results demonstrate 47.5% of participating teachers responded positively towards the pay-for-performance program on their respective campuses. This study has implications for policymakers and school district leaders who may consider implementing teacher pay-for-performance programs. Future research studies might explore school districts of different sizes throughout Texas and across the United States to gain a broader prospective of pay-for-performance programs.

Engaging Secondary Math Teachers in Breaking Down Barriers for English Learners

Kane, Julie M. 01 January 2020 (has links) (PDF)
This study used mixed methods to examine middle school mathematics teachers’ beliefs about English Learners’ ability to participate in rigorous, grade-level math instruction as well as beliefs about their own capacity for teaching English Learners. Additionally, the study investigated the influence of teachers’ beliefs on their instructional practices and identified the types of support teachers need to develop as culturally and linguistically responsive educators. Findings revealed some dissonance between teachers’ explicit beliefs about teaching English Learners and their implicit beliefs illustrated through instructional decisions made, as well as previously unrecognized gaps in teachers’ ability to identify and differentiate the needs of different types of English learners. Finally, the study identified teachers’ pressing needs for additional support at the school and district levels to continue to develop skills and knowledge to improve their teaching for English learners. The study concluded with an action plan for developing a robust professional learning system to develop teachers’ self-efficacy as culturally and linguistically responsive educators while also addressing implicit bias through reflection.

Reflection on and for Actions: Probing into English Language Art Teachers' Personal and Professional Experiences with English Language Learners

Hong, Huili, Keith, Karin, Moran, Renee Rice 01 February 2019 (has links)
Effective ELL teaching and learning is profoundly influenced by the teachers' personal experiences and personalities (Farrell, 2016), their experience as language learners as well as language teachers (Farrell, 2007), and their beliefs about learning and teaching a second language (Farrell, 2015; Farrell & Ives, 2015). This study honored and examined in-depth the often-discounted stories/reflective narratives of our teachers. This paper reports a qualitative cases study that explores three veteran teachers' reflection on their personal and professional experiences with ELLs for self-discovery over years (Cirocki & Farrell, 2017) so that they can further reflect for their future actions with ELLs (Burns & Bulman, 2000; Farrell, 2007; Farrell & Vos, 2018). Data analysis revealed the teachers' different strengths and needs in working with ELLs. Four major dimensions (language, culture, culturally and linguistically sensitive pedagogy, and collaborative community) were identified as critical to effective teaching of ELLs and preparation of second language teachers.

Argumentation and equity in inquiry-based science instruction : reasoning patterns of teachers and students

Irish, Tobias E. L. 30 August 2012 (has links)
This multiple case study explores issues of equity in science education through an examination of how teachers' reasoning patterns compare with students' reasoning patterns during inquiry-based lessons. It also examines the ways in which teachers utilize students' cultural and linguistic resources, or funds of knowledge, during inquiry-based lessons and the ways in which students utilize their funds of knowledge, during inquiry-based lessons. Three middle school teachers and a total of 57 middle school students participated in this study. The data collection involved classroom observations and multiple interviews with each of the teachers individually and with small groups of students. The findings indicate that the students are capable of far more complex reasoning than what was elicited by the lessons observed or what was modeled and expected by the teachers, but that during the inquiry-based lessons they conformed to the more simplistic reasoning patterns they perceived as the expected norm of classroom dialogue. The findings also indicate that the students possess funds of knowledge that are relevant to science topics, but very seldom use these funds in the context of their inquiry-based lessons. In addition, the teachers in this study very seldom worked to elicit students' use of their funds in these contexts. The few attempts they did make involved the use of analogies, examples, or questions. The findings from this study have implications for both teachers and teacher educators in that they highlight similarities and differences in reasoning that can help teachers establish instructional congruence and facilitate more equitable science instruction. They also provide insight into how students' cultural and linguistic resources are utilized during inquiry-based science lessons. / Graduation date: 2013
