A Comparison of Native and Non-Native English-Speaking Teaching Assistants

Shirvani Shahenayati, Zahra 05 1900 (has links)
The purposes of this study were to determine whether differences existed between the communication styles and teaching effectiveness, respectively, of native and non-native teaching fellows, as perceived by their undergraduate students. In addition, the study sought to determine whether a positive correlation existed between the final grades and the communication styles and teaching effectiveness, respectively, of native and non-native teaching fellows as perceived by their undergraduate students. In order to carry out the purposes of this study, six hypotheses were tested concerning the perception of native and non-native undergraduate students toward the communication style and teaching effectiveness of teaching fellows in North Texas State University.

The Relationship of Personality Traits to Teacher Candidate Perceptions of Teaching Confidence and Teaching Experience in a Simulated Classroom Environment

Hopper, Susan B. 05 1900 (has links)
Individual personality traits of pre-service teachers may have a significant influence on their confidence in teaching. Confidence in teaching does not always align with the experience of pre-service teachers. simSchool enables transformational experiences for teacher candidates to improve in general teaching skills, connect learning theories in the classroom, and develop confidence to be an effective teacher without the ill impacts of practicing on real students. This study executed a quasi-experimental design to explore the personality traits of 152 pre-service teachers and examined how their perceptions of teaching confidence and teaching experience were related in the context of simSchool. A treatment and comparison group completed the Survey of Teaching Skills pre/post tests and the OCEAN survey for quantitative data analysis to investigate four research questions: 1. Is there a difference between treatment and comparison groups on educator’s gains in confidence and experience? 2. Is there a relationship between personality type and perceived teaching effectiveness? 3. Is there a relationship between personality attributes and pre-service educator ratings of teaching experience in a simulated teaching environment? 4. Is there a relationship between personality attributes and pre-service educator ratings of teaching confidence in a simulated teaching environment? Findings from repeated measures MANOVA tests indicated that the simSchool treatment group increased their perceptions of experience with significant gains (p < .05), in contrast to the comparison group. Two key constructs of personality and effective teaching, the latter of which is comprised of the pre-service teachers’ self-reports of teaching confidence and teaching experience, were examined using canonical correlation analysis. The traits of openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness and neuroticism were components linked by structure coefficients to the synthetic variable of personality, the latter of which was found to be correlated with effective teaching. Pearson product-moment correlation coefficients were produced to assess the relationship between experience and confidence and relationships between experience and confidence with the personality traits of conscientiousness, openness, extraversion, and emotional stability. Multiple regression analyses were run using the predictors of openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, and neuroticism. These were found to be significantly (p < .05) effective in predicting self-reported teaching experience and confidence from personality traits. Furthermore, the variable of openness was individually found to be a significant (p < .05) predictor of teaching experience and confidence. These findings suggest that personality traits affect the experience and confidence ratings of pre-service teachers in a simulated classroom environment and that simSchool training can foster the development of teaching effectiveness.

Para tanto, utilizou dados de instituições, cursos e alunos da área de administração, do ano de 2006, extraídos principalmente do Censo da Educação Superior e do Exame Nacional de Desempenho de Estudantes (ENADE). Os principais conceitos utilizados foram o de qualidade – que foi associado às dimensões de efetividade, eficiência, eficácia e equidade – e o de eficácia escolar. A investigação teve como característica ser quantitativa, utilizando-se de funções de produção inspiradas nos trabalhos de Scheerens (2000 e 1990). A partir do referencial teórico, foram propostas três hipóteses que auxiliaram a responder a pergunta de partida: H1) os fatores de contexto, entrada e processo, simultaneamente, contribuem significativamente para a qualidade de cursos superiores; H2) fatores relacionados ao nível socioeconômico dos alunos e ao contexto do município da IES são, nessa ordem, os que mais contribuem com a qualidade de cursos superiores; H3) modelos elaborados com os fatores de contexto, entrada e processo conseguem explicar, ao menos, metade (r2 > 0,5) da variância da qualidade de cursos superiores. O estudo envolveu em sua base de dados 60 variáveis independentes – associadas às dimensões de contexto, entrada e processo – e três independentes – associadas à dimensão eficácia. Ao todo, foram trabalhados dados de 1.465 cursos e 130.270 alunos. Para a investigação das hipóteses, foram adotadas as seguintes técnicas estatísticas: análise descritiva, análise bivariada, análise de classes latentes, regressão logística e modelos de equações estruturadas. A partir da análise de classe latente (LCA), a base de dados foi reduzida para 11 construtos (variáveis independentes) e três variáveis dependentes, o que facilitou a interpretação dos resultados das modelos formados. Com os resultados das regressões logísticas foi possível confirmar parcialmente a primeira e segunda hipóteses. A partir dos modelos de equações estruturais não foi possível confirmar a terceira hipótese. Apesar disso, pode-se verificar que cursos com melhor desempenho no ENADE estão mais associados a: universidades públicas e com alta concorrência; instituições com mais professores do quadro, experientes e mais dedicados à pesquisa; instituições com menos alunos por professor e professor doutor; e a cidades mais desenvolvidas e ricas. Como contribuição, este trabalho ampliou o conhecimento sobre fatores de eficácia escolar no ensino superior brasileiro, servindo de fundamento para discussão de políticas públicas educacionais nesse nível de ensino; introduziu, no Brasil, a LCA como uma técnica estatística com potencialidades para o campo das Ciências Sociais Aplicadas; e difundiu mais a utilização de modelos de equações estruturais como ferramenta para a compreensão de fenômenos sociais complexos. / Salvador

No. of bitstreams: 1 Dalben_Adilson_D.pdf: 5011742 bytes, checksum: e9c6413b4e6fb98c276dcbdecd13440b (MD5) Previous issue date: 2014 / Resumo: Esta pesquisa é um estudo sobre a eficácia e equidade escolar que tem ganhado atenção especial nos países que usam as avaliações em larga escala a serviço da gestão do sistema educativo. No Brasil, que desde a década de 1990 colocou a avaliação educacional como recurso central em suas políticas educacionais, mas coletando dados seccionais, que são muito frágeis para essa finalidade. Essa fragilidade decorre da alta associação que os fatores extraescolares, sobretudo o nível socioeconômico do aluno, têm sobre as medidas de proficiência. Diante disso, foram usados dados longitudinais e a análise foi feita por meio de modelos lineares hierárquicos. Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo principal desenvolver um modelo estatístico capaz de identificar tais fatores para a realidade brasileira, considerando que a aprendizagem é um processo complexo, isto é, ela é influenciada simultaneamente por múltiplos fatores. Foram desenvolvidos modelos de valor agregado que não só identificam tais variáveis, como também caracterizam sua influência em alunos com distintas proficiências no início de cada período de escolarização. A base de dados utilizada nesses modelos foi fornecida pelo Projeto GERES, que, no período de 2005 a 2008, coletou dados dos mesmos alunos de 1ª a 4ª séries de uma amostra de 312 escolas em cinco grandes cidades brasileiras. Foram medidas as proficiências em Leitura e Matemática de 35.538 alunos e coletadas informações de contexto desses alunos, seus familiares, professores, diretores e escola. Após a redução do grande número de informações disponibilizadas pelo Projeto GERES, feita por meio da Análise Fatorial Exploratória (AFE), as variáveis resultantes foram reorganizadas em três arquivos usados para análise em modelos lineares hierárquicos de três níveis. Os resultados encontrados evidenciam uma significativa instabilidade nos efeitos que as variáveis têm sobre a proficiência, tanto em leitura quanto em matemática. Ao final da pesquisa, são encontrados alguns fatores que influenciam positivamente e negativamente a proficiência em Leitura e Matemática e outros que afetam especificamente cada uma dessas áreas, indicando que podem colaborar para o aumento da eficácia e da equidade das escolas. No entanto, constatam-se também algumas variáveis que têm comportamentos incoerentes com o esperado e outras com comportamentos opostos nas duas áreas. Assim, dos achados das pesquisas, comprova-se que, com base nos dados utilizados, procedimentos metodológicos e modelos estatísticos adotados, os modelos de valor agregado melhoram a confiabilidade das análises em comparação aos modelos que usam dados seccionais, mas ainda são inviáveis como ferramentas para a gestão do sistema educativo, sobretudo para o uso meritocrático de seus resultados. Dessa forma, esta pesquisa corrobora os achados de outras realizadas no âmbito internacional e permite afirmar que a qualidade da modelagem estatística depende da qualidade dos dados que busca modelar, podendo gerar distorções, estabelecer relações inesperadas ou levar a conclusões equivocadas. Em contrapartida, trata-se de recursos que podem ser usados no sistema educativo, fornecendo dados importantes para a orientação das políticas públicas numa perspectiva de avaliação formativa, com vistas ao melhoramento da qualidade de ensino oferecido pelas escolas e à melhor formação dos profissionais docentes e não-docentes que nelas trabalham / Abstract: This research is a study on school effectiveness and equality in Brazil, adding up to a number of other researches that have drawn special attention in countries that use large-scale evaluations at the service of the education system management. In the Brazil has regarded the educational evaluation as a central resource in national education policies, but using cross-sectional data, which are far more fragile for such purpose. This fragility has derived from the great influence that extra-school factors, particularly the students¿ socioeconomic status, exerts on proficiency measures. Longitudinal data was used in the analyses with hierarchical linear models. The main objective of this research was to develop a statistical model to identify such factors in the Brazilian reality, considering that learning is a complex process, i.e. it is simultaneously influenced by multiple factors. Value-added models were developed not only to identify such variables, but also to characterize their influence on students showing different proficiencies at the beginning of every school term. The data base used in those models was provided by the GERES Project, which collected data of the same students from the 1st to the 4th grade from a sample of 312 schools in five Brazilian cities from 2005 to 2008. Proficiencies of 35,538 students were measured, and information about these students¿ context, family, teachers, principals and school were gathered. After the reduction of the great amount of information made available by the GERES Project by means of Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA), the resulting variables were reorganized in three files used for analysis in three-level hierarchical linear models. The results evidenced significant instability in the effects that the variables have on proficiency both in Reading and in Mathematics. At the end of the research, some factors that influence Reading and Mathematics proficiency either positively or negatively, as well as other factors that specifically affect one of those areas, were found, thus indicating that they may contribute to increased school effectiveness and equality. However, some variables whose behavior was inconsistent with the one expected, and others with opposite behaviors in the two areas were also found. Therefore, from the research findings, based on the data used, the methodological procedures and the statistical models adopted, it has been evidenced that value-added models improve the analysis reliability in comparison with models that use cross-sectional data, but they are still impracticable as tools for education system management, particularly for meritocratic use of their results. Hence, this research has corroborated the findings of other studies carried out over the world and has enabled us to state that the quality of the statistical modeling depends on the quality of data that it attempts to model, and it may generate distortions, establish unexpected relationships or lead to misleading conclusions. On the other hand, these resources may be used in the education system by providing important data for guiding public policies in a educative evaluation perspective, aiming at improving the quality of teaching offered by schools, teachers and other professionals that work in the school setting / Doutorado / Ensino e Práticas Culturais / Doutor em Educação

The effect of content knowledge on students' perceptions of instructors' teaching effectiveness

Hancock, Sean C. 01 January 2013 (has links)
In response to the continued reduction in higher education funding at the state and federal levels, educational administrators at both public and private institutions have had to reduce the number of course offerings, resulting in layoffs of those faculty members who do not meet regulated degree requirements for enough courses to retain their fulltime status. This study examined the effect of instructors' content knowledge (subject matter degree) on the results of the students' evaluations of teaching effectiveness (SETE) at a private for-profit junior college. The study employed an ex post facto causal-comparative research design. The data were analyzed through a hierarchical multiple linear regression in order to determine how much of the variance in students' responses on their evaluations of teacher effectiveness was accounted for by the instructors' content knowledge after controlling for gender, course experience, formal training in education and/or instruction, and time of day (session). The questions were categorized into four subscales using Shulman's Model of Pedagogical Reasoning and Action: comprehension, transformation, instruction, and evaluation. The data were then disaggregated into the following course subjects: English, math, natural science, psychology, and sociology. Results of the analyses suggest that instructors' content knowledge may have a negative effect on SETE results for the subscale evaluation. No effect of content knowledge was found on SETE data in the areas of comprehension, transformation, or instruction. The data suggest that the control variable of morning session has a negative effect on SETE data for the subscales comprehension, transformation, and instruction, while course experience shows evidence to suggest a positive effect within comprehension and transformation. When disaggregated by course subject matter, data suggest a negative effect of formal training on SETE results for English and psychology. Data also suggest a negative effect of morning session on sociology while course experience had a positive effect. The evidence suggests that a subject matter degree has no practical significance in defining instructional effectiveness from the perspective of the student, and that decision makers look to other assurances of instructional quality and not rely solely on a subject matter degree as a proxy for the requisite content knowledge.
