An Analysis of the Factor Structure and Measurement Invariance of the Performance Assessment and Evaluation System Ratings of Preservice Teachers

Steadman, Anna Kay 14 April 2023 (has links)
The Performance Assessment and Evaluation System (PAES) is used by all major universities in the state of Utah to measure the effective teaching skills of preservice candidates as they progress through their teaching preparation program. The resulting ratings are used to make high-stakes decisions relating to course completion as well as recommendation for licensure. This study analyzes the factor structure and tests for measurement invariance of PAES ratings assigned to 663 elementary education candidates at Brigham Young University across two measurement occasions. The candidates were rated by 30 clinical faculty associates. This study also examines the degree to which differential rater effects impact the PAES ratings of these candidates. A bifactor model, with a general factor measuring effective teaching skills measured through observation, and a specific factor measuring effective teaching skills evaluated through conversation best fit the model. Evidence of measurement invariance was found between evaluations completed for Practicum 1 and Practicum 2 candidates. This study also found that differential rater effects impact the PAES ratings of individual candidates, indicating that a candidate's rating may depend on which rater completed the evaluation. Similar research studies should be conducted to analyze the quality of PAES ratings of teacher candidates in the various secondary education programs at BYU. In addition, since the PAES is used at other teacher preparation colleges and universities in Utah, similar research studies should be conducted to examine the quality of PAES ratings of teacher candidates at these other institutions.

Alternative Teacher Certification: An Investigation To Determine The Effectiveness Of Alternative Teacher Certification In The State of Florida According to Principals' Perspective

Torres, Nelson 01 January 2006 (has links)
Alternative Certification Programs (ACPs) have been established in 47 states across the country, including Florida, to help alleviate the teacher shortage many public school districts have been experiencing during the last two decades. This teacher shortage has been reported to be more prevalent in areas where fully qualified and committed teachers are most needed. Current literature has identified areas such as inner-city schools, at-risk and minority students, bilingual education, math and physical sciences, and the special education field as the educational areas where the shortage is most significant. Faced with this dilemma, states have instituted ACPs as unconventional ways to attract and recruit potential teacher candidates from professional fields outside the profession of education and assist them in becoming fully certified and highly qualified teachers. The objective of any ACP is to provide an alternate way for an interested professional to become a teacher without going back to a college or university. Therefore, any ACP functions as a supplement to traditional college education programs in preparing prospective teacher candidates. The focus of this study is the Alternative Certification Programs established by the public school districts in the state of Florida as required by state statutes. It was designed to assess the effectiveness of such programs based on the perspectives, attitudes, and perceptions that selected public school principals have on these programs and on alternatively certified teachers. These principals were identified and selected by their respective school districts. A questionnaire, created in part by the researcher, was used to identify the perspectives, attitudes, and perceptions public school principals have on ACPs and alternatively certified teachers. Data on the different ACPs were collected directly from the different public school districts and from Internet Web sites established by the districts. The researcher contacted 67 Florida public school districts requesting information on their respective ACPs and asked them to select and identify three school principals who had experience with alternatively certified teachers to participate in a survey concerning their attitudes, perceptions, and perspectives about alternatively certified teachers and the alternative certification programs. The researcher asked that the three principals be selected one each from the grade levels of elementary, middle, and high school. Findings indicated that the alternative certification programs throughout the State of Florida are producing highly qualified teachers whose overall performance has been rated as equal to or better than that of newly hired traditionally certified teacher. These findings are based on the responses provided by the principals who completed and returned the 20-item questionnaire and on other existing literature and data on the state's alternative certification program. The overall impression from the principals' responses is that they are satisfied with the quality work and performance of their alternatively certified teachers.

The Perceptions of Alternatively Certified K-12 Public School Teachers in One Division in Virginia Regarding Their Preparedness to Teach and the Training and Administrative Support They Need for Retention

Rankin, Kristin Rachelle Lazenby 09 July 2023 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to identify the perceptions of alternatively certified public K-12 teachers regarding their preparedness to teach and to identify key areas for training and administrative support needed for teacher retention. This basic qualitative study with elements of phenomenological design included a semi-structured focus group protocol in which 23 candidates participated in four focus groups. Study participants were provisionally licensed K-12 public school teachers in Virginia and represented elementary, middle, and high school teachers in both general and special education roles. Findings indicated that beginning teachers who have completed an alternative teacher certification program (ATCP) do not feel prepared for the teaching role and many have considered leaving the profession prematurely. Additionally, study findings indicate that ATCP teachers perceive that their training did not adequately prepare them for classroom management, working with parents, and managing the many responsibilities of a teacher, resulting in high levels of stress among provisionally licensed teachers. Data demonstrate that increased financial support for required coursework, a reduction in workload, mentoring programs, and more hands-on training will support ATCP teacher retention. Implications of this study's findings indicate that school, district, and state school leaders can positively impact ATCP teacher retention by implementing specific professional development programs, providing coaching and mentoring, and by adjusting ATCP training to better prepare their graduates for teaching in the areas of managing student behavior and working with parents. / Doctor of Education / The purpose of this qualitative study was to identify the perceptions of alternatively certified public K-12 teachers regarding their preparedness to teach and to identify key areas for training and administrative support needed for teacher retention. In this study, 23 candidates participated in four focus groups. Study participants were provisionally licensed K-12 public school teachers in Virginia and represented elementary, middle, and high school teachers in both general and special education roles, as well as school counselors, foreign language teachers, career and technical education, and business teachers. Findings from this study indicate that teachers who complete alternative teacher certification programs (ATCPs) perceive that they are unprepared when they begin teaching as a result of their training and many consider leaving the profession prematurely. Provisionally licensed teachers perceive they lack adequate training in areas including classroom management, academic instruction, and working with parents, resulting in high levels of stress and feeling overwhelmed. Findings from this study indicate that school, division, and state level educational leaders can provide coaching, mentoring, and professional development opportunities for ATCP teachers that will promote their retention. This study provides a lens through which to examine the experiences of ATCP teachers and understand their perceptions of their unique training and experiences so that they can be better prepared and supported by school leaders in order to remain in the profession. This study also recognizes the resiliency of ATCP teachers who overcome unique challenges in order to remain in their teaching role and positively impact student achievement.

Art teacher preparation does the path to certification in Florida matter?

Price, Deanna Jean 01 December 2011 (has links)
For years now, students have been learning from two different types of teachers: Teachers who received certification from a traditional training program at a university and teachers who became certified through alternative certification routes. Does the educational preparation of an art teacher matter? Is alternative certification as effectual as traditional teacher preparation programs? Darling- Hammond (2006) says, "Evidence indicates that teachers who have had more preparation for teaching are more confident and successful with students than those who have had little or none." This thesis will examine and analyze alternative teacher certification in art education for the state of Florida, in a selected county in central Florida, and the traditional teacher certification program via a university path. I am choosing to base this study on my own program of study. I am on the path receive a Bachelor's degree through a traditional art education preparation program. This topic will be discussed by conducting a review of literature. Articles from scholars will be cited in order to provide evidence to support the conclusion that art teachers who are traditionally certified are better prepared for the art classroom than art teachers who attained certification via an alternative route. In order to carry out this investigation, an autoethnography will be included, which will include personal experiences, such as going through a traditional art teacher certification program, which is a four year Bachelor's degree in art education and observing art teachers who have completed different types of certification, leading me to the conclusion that traditionally certified art teachers are more prepared.

How Do Selected Novice Middle School Teachers from Various Certification Pathways Perceive the Effectiveness of Their Teacher Preparation?

Hesson, Nicole Lee January 2016 (has links)
This dissertation study compared the three most common pathways of traditional preparation for novice middle level teachers (elementary, middle level, and secondary) and attempted to answer the central question of which group felt best prepared for middle level teaching. Selected novice teachers from each of the three pathways were interviewed and asked to reflect on their preparation program. All participants were graduates of the same large, urban, public university. Data were collected using an interpretivism paradigm and analyzed using the constant comparative method. The state has recently redesigned its certification structure and teacher education institutions have redesigned their programs to reflect these changes. This study sought to discover if the restructuring resulted in greater feelings of preparedness among novice teachers. This study was exploratory, but initial findings indicate that there was very little difference in feelings of preparedness among the three pathways for teaching at the middle level with respect to program components and understanding of the needs of middle level adolescents. There was limited difference among the three pathways with respect to content preparation. This poses an interesting policy question: If the state’s intent in restructuring the certification tiers was to ensure more prepared teachers for the middle level and this exploratory study shows little difference in feelings of preparation, was the decision to restructure teacher certification a worthwhile endeavor? The study offers possible programmatic changes to increase feelings of preparedness as well as ideas for further research around this topic. / Educational Administration

The Relationship Between Selected Attributes of Algebra I Teachers and Student Achievement on the Algebra I SOL Test in Grades 9-12

Miles, Bernardine Goode 18 March 2010 (has links)
This study of the relationship between teacher attributes and student scores on the SOL Algebra I Test in Grades 9-12 focused on three prominent teacher attributes: certification, specialization in math, and years of experience teaching math. The study also assessed two additional relationships: 1) the relationship between student socioeconomic status, as reflected in the percentage of students who receive free or reduced fee lunch, and the SOL test score; and 2) the association between teacher perceptions of Stronge's (2002) domains of effective teaching and achievement on the SOL Algebra test. Teachers who taught high school Algebra I in the Commonwealth of Virginia voluntarily completed a questionnaire about their experiences and educational preparation, and their perceptions of teacher attributes that contribute to student achievement in Algebra. The study found no significant relationships between the teacher attributes and student achievement on the Algebra I SOL test. Only two of Stronge's domains of effective teaching, <i>Teacher as a Person </i>and <i>Monitoring Student Progress and Potential </i>, were statistically significant. These findings affirm recent reports that traditional measures of teacher quality such as seniority or certification, or established views of effective teaching may not be related to student achievement. The study found that the students' socioeconomic status had a statistically significant association with student achievement on the Algebra I SOL test. Although the study findings are limited because of the small sample size and the homogenous sample of Virginia teachers, the findings are consistent with recent reports on effective teaching, and widespread educational reform. Studies that are specifically focused on the teaching of subjects such as Algebra could help to identify the characteristics of great math teachers and the unique teaching strategies these teachers use to help students successfully learn math. New research that utilizes qualitative research methods has the potential to identify additional classroom strategies and approaches used by great teachers. In 2009, No Child Left Behind requires that all schools find, hire, and retain highly qualified teachers for core subject areas. The findings of this study suggest that traditional measures for hiring and rewarding teachers may need to be expanded to include new perspectives on selecting effective teachers. / Ed. D.

How States are Meeting the Highly Qualified Teacher Component of NCLB

Pinney, Jean 20 May 2005 (has links)
As part of the reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act the federal government has added the requirement that all schools receiving Title I funds must have "highly qualified teachers" in every classroom. The term "highly qualified teacher" comes from the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. What exactly is a "highly qualified" teacher? This part of the law is widely debated throughout the fifty states, but most agree that a teacher's subject-matter knowledge and experience result in increased student achievement.(Ansell& McCase, 2003) Some states have made progress in meeting the "highly qualified" requirement of NCLB. However, most states have merely established the criteria for determining if a teacher is highly qualified (Keller, 2003). The Education Trust has called for clarification from the Department of Education on the guidelines for the teacher quality provision of the law. Ten states have put into law all the requirements of the federal law, 22 have done some work toward that goal, and 18 states still have a long way to go (Keller). With so many states still grappling with compliance to the law, this study may well give policy makers in those states options that are being used in other states to consider. In addition, the study focuses on middle school and the possible impact these requirements will have on staffing of middle schools. Policy makers would do well to look at this aspect closely since middle school is often where education "loses" many students to dropping out. Also, the middle school is where the greatest number of non-certified teachers are working and where the greatest percentage (44%) of teachers are teaching without even a minor in the subject they teach (Ingersoll, 2002).

As representações sociais de escola e docência e a constituição identitária de licenciandos em Química / The social representations of school and teacher and the constitution of identity of students enrolled in a Chemistry teacher initial training course

Miranda, Camila Lima 15 February 2018 (has links)
Este estudo investigou as representações sociais (RS) de escola e ser professor de licenciandos em Química. Por meio do discurso desses licenciandos, também buscou-se identificar as representações/atribuições de \"outros significativos\" e de \"outros generalizados\", compreendendo se as representações identificadas se refletiam em suas constituições identitárias. Foram realizadas entrevistas semi-estruturadas com quatro alunos de Licenciatura em Química de uma universidade estadual paulista, egressos de escolas públicas. Os dados foram interpretados por meio do diálogo entre duas teorias: a das representações sociais, na perspectiva de Serge Moscovici, e a da identidade profissional de Claude Dubar. As técnicas de análise foram inspiradas na Análise de Conteúdo proposta por Bardin, sendo criadas três categorias subdivididas, quando necessário, em subcategorias. Como resultados, foi possível depreender que o compartilhar da RS acerca de um objeto não implica, necessariamente, em modos singulares de atuação. Embora os jovens compartilhem uma RS de que o professor atuante no sistema público de ensino possui uma formação deficiente, agem de modo antagônico perante tal representação: enquanto uns manifestam o desejo pela atuação nesse sistema de ensino, outros não vislumbram essa possibilidade. Atuar como professor na rede pública de ensino básico pode implicar, para alguns sujeitos, assumir essa atribuição quanto à baixa qualidade enquanto, para outros, vincula-se à possibilidade de atuar de modo oposto àquele retratado nessa RS. A RS sobre a escola também se configurou como fonte de crises identitárias para esses jovens: a dificuldade em acompanhar os demais estudantes, ao migrar para uma escola privada; a reprovação no exame vestibular e a dificuldade em acompanhar o curso após sua aprovação no referido exame fizeram com que sentimentos como valorização e reconhecimento que os acompanharam durante sua escolarização, fundamentais para a construção identitária, fossem questionados, abalando a confiança na escola e em si. Por sua vez, na análise das atribuições dos outros, constatou-se, em relação aos \"outros significativos\", que suas escolhas profissionais não foram plenamente acolhidas por seus familiares; percebem um não acolhimento na universidade, devido à desvalorização do curso de Licenciatura e à falta de cuidado quanto aos diferentes perfis de alunos que compõem a universidade, em especial, por serem egressos do sistema público de ensino básico. Esses jovens sentem-se excluídos, especialmente pela dificuldade em acompanhar o curso. Já em relação aos \"outros generalizados\", sentem expectativas que destoam da RS que esse grupo construiu sobre a docência. Por fim, a análise das RS acerca de professor nos permite inferir que ser professor para esse grupo social relaciona-se à realização pessoal, intrinsecamente ligada à motivação, à autonomia, à inovação, ao afeto para com os estudantes e à necessidade de escutá-los. Os relatos que compuseram os dados deste estudo nos auxiliam a compreender o papel do olhar do outro na constituição identitária. É por meio de tal olhar que o sujeito pode também se reconhecer. Esperamos que o presente estudo possa contribuir para a ressignificação da formação docente, considerando-a enquanto construção diacrônica, permeada pelo contexto social, pela atribuição dos outros - sejam eles significativos ou generalizados - e pelas representações sociais dos atores envolvidos no processo. / This study focuses on perceive if the social representations (SR) concerning school and to be a teacher of students enrolled in a Chemistry teacher initial training course influence the constitution of their identity two main objectives. In this sense, one of the main objectives of this work is to unveil these SR; the second goal is to identify the representations / attributions of the \"significant others\" and the \"generalized others\" from the analysis of the interviews made with these subjects. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with four students of the University of São Paulo, a State university settled at São Paulo city (Brazil). All of them are attending a Chemistry teacher initial training course, and came from public High Schools. The dialogue between the social representations theory, in the Serge Moscovici´s perspective, and the one proposed by Claude Dubar refering to professional identity conducted the data analysis. The analysis was inspired by the Content Analysis techniques as proposed by Bardin, leading to three categories, subdivided, if it is the case, into subcategories. The findings show that the sharing of a SR regarding an social object does not necessarily implies in similar modes of action. These students share the SR that about the teachers acting in the governmental Basic Education system (compulsory school period; in Brazil it comprises primary school, lower secondary education, and high school period, totalizing 12 years) have a poor training to be professionals. Nevertheless, the subjects investigated in this work have different perspectives of action deriving from this shared RS. While some of them intend to work in the public basic schools, the other ones do not divise this possibility. For some individuals, to teach in the basic school public system might imply, to accept the low quality attribution while, for others, this action can favour an opposite intervention in relation to what is portrayed in this SR. The SR about school also became a source of identity crises for these young people: the difficulty to have the same performance of other students when migrating to a private school; the failure in the selection admission exams to the university; and the difficulty in following the undergraduate course after their approval in the said examination transform the feelings fundamental for the construction of their identity, like appreciation and recognition, that accompanied them during their basic schooling, were deeply questioned, fracturing their confidence in the basic school and in themselves. On the other hand, in the analysis of the attributions of the others it was verified, in relation to the \"significant others\", that their professional choices were not fully accepted by their relatives; they perceive a lack of acceptance even in the university context due to the teacher training undergraduate course underestimation and the fact that there are not enough attention to the undergraduate students´ profiles huge differences due mainly to the failure of the Brazilian public basic education system from which they came p. These students feel excluded, especially due to the difficulties to follow the undergraduate course. In relation to the \"generalized others\", they feel expectations that differ from the SR that this group built regarding teaching. Finally, the analysis of these students´ SR concerning to be a teacher allows to conclude that for this social group to be a professor relates to personal fulfillment, intrinsically connected to motivation, autonomy, innovation, affection regarding students and to the need to listen to them. The findings that constitute t this study data permit to understand the role exerted by the other\'s look on the identity constitution. It is through such a look that the subject can also recognize himself. We hope that the present study may contribute to a resignification of the initial teacher training, considering it as a diachronic construction, permeated by the social context, by the attribution of the others - whether significant or generalized - and by the social representations.
