An examination of the inservice process used in the introduction of the Tap-a-Talent Program in a selected Indiana metropolitan school corporation / Examination of the inservice process used in the introduction of the Tap-a-Talent Program.Beights, Raymond M. January 1983 (has links)
The purposes of the study were to 1) determine if responses from teachers to items on the pre- and post- administration of the questionnaires would change after viewing the Tap Tapes series and 2) provide members of the Tap - A - Talent committee with recommendations on how to proceed with the inservice process if, in fact, the process should continue.The pre- and post- questionnaires were mailed to randomly selected teachers of grades one through five employed by the school corporation during the 1980-81 school year. Usable questionnaires were returned by 101 teachers and constituted the sample for the study.Data reported represented changes in responses to items on the pre- and post- questionnaires as tabulated by number and percent.The following conclusions were formulated from the summary of the findings based on teacher responses on the pre- and post- questionnaires:1. Teachers who viewed all or some of the seven-part Tap Tapes resulted in a small but positive increase in desired responses in the questionnaires.2. The responses of teachers who viewed none of the Tap Tapes reflected a decrease in the number of desired responses in the questionnaire.3. While many teachers participating in the study reported, by the responses, an overall agreement with the statements in the questionnaire prior to viewing the Tap Tapes, the data reflect a general strenthening of views and attitudes by teachers following the viewing of the tapes.4. The video-tapes, mini-workshop series, known as Tap Tapes, appeared to be an effective inservice component.
