Download or read book An Analysis of Student Perceptions of Teaching Effectiveness for Instructors Who Teach the Same Course in the Same Semester in Both Online and Face-to-Face Formats written by Donna Brooks Asher and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is an increasingly number of students taking online classes in lieu of or in addition to the traditional face-to-face format. With this trend, there are questions that naturally come to the surface. The biggest question being "is teaching in the online arena just as effective as the face-to-face arena?" This dissertation aims to pursue that line of questioning by analyzing students' perceptions of the teaching effectiveness for instructors who teach the same course in both an online and face-to-face format in the same semester. The data are analyzed through the lens of the social capital theory. Social capital has never been applied to the classroom before as its focus has traditionally been on community development. However, social capital theory addresses interpersonal relationships and their impact on knowledge sharing behavior. This theory identifies three dimensions, which appear to have a parallel track with the student evaluation components; each is analyzed against each other. These dimensions include structured, cognitive and relational and are compared to the components of the student evaluation tool, which includes organization and explanation of materials, learning environment and self-regulated learning.

Download or read book Student Perceptions of and Preferences for Online Instructor Course Introductions written by Ömer Arslan and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Online instructors utilize instructional strategies to mitigate challenges that arise from transactional distance. These strategies can also facilitate establishing instructor social presence and identity, which is a common concern in online learning contexts. Effective online course introductions provide an opportunity for instructors to introduce themselves to online learners and model effective self-disclosures early in the course. Introductions help online learners know more about their course instructors and help them have a sense of what kind of an instructor they will be engaging in learning interactions with.Although course introductions are common first-day-of-the-class activities, there is limited empirical research on what students like to know about their instructors at the start of a course. Furthermore, previous studies demonstrate inconsistent findings regarding student perceptions of and preferences for the timing and type of instructor self-disclosures that are appropriate in an educational context. This exploratory study uses survey design to examine undergraduate and graduate students' perceptions of and preferences for online instructor course introductions. Participants were recruited from a university's research pool. The data set included 110 responses that were analyzed using descriptive statistics and content analysis. Findings show that it is important for online learners to know about their instructors, preferably their professional qualifications. When the instructor feels like a real person, students feel like they learn more. Most students turn to multiple different sources to learn more about their instructors even before a class begins. Reading the instructor's course introduction is the most common approach to learning more about the instructor, while looking up the instructor on social media is the least common approach. Aligned with knowing more about the instructor's professional qualifications, students find instructor self-disclosures about professional qualifications (e.g., course information, prior professional experience, college experiences, prior education, and hobbies) more appropriate than personal life details (e.g., personal opinions, relationship information, religious affiliation, socio-economic status, political affiliations, and financial information). Course information related disclosures had the highest approval ratings, while financial information had the least. Most students like to know what their online instructors look and sound like. Sharing instructor photos and videos as part of online course introductions had high approval ratings. Participants prefer instructor photo as a professional photo or headshot more than an informal photo or snapshot and a selfie. Moreover, instructor photos related to profession had the highest approval ratings in terms of types of photos that an instructor can add as part of course introduction, followed by pets, travel, family, and food. Introduction videos should be shot in the instructor's office, followed by in a classroom, in their home, and outdoors. When asked how they perceive an online instructor based on a course introduction with no self-disclosure and with prior professional experiences and hobbies self-disclosures, students perceive the latter as more friendly, approachable, interested in their learning, and interested in the class. Moreover, they reported higher ratings of willingness to email the instructor and visit the instructor in office hour. This finding suggests that appropriate self-disclosures early at the start of a course might help instructors reduce tensions around transactional distance and help them be perceived as real, and increase student willingness to interact with their instructors. The findings of this study challenge instructional practices in which instructors self-disclose personal and vulnerable information early in the course and personal information in general. Overall, this exploratory study provide additional insights to the literature on social presence and identity as well as instructor self-disclosure in online learning contexts. Limitations were presented and implications for theory, research, and practice were discussed.
Download or read book Attribution and Interpretive Content Analyses of College Students' Anecdotal Online Faculty Ratings: Students' Perceptions of Effective Teaching Characteristics written by and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation documents a mixed methods doctoral study that accessed a popular online faculty rating system situated in the public domain, to reveal adult students' perceptions of effective teaching characteristics in three community colleges located in British Columbia, Canada. The study is informed by two phases including a quantitative analysis of attributions and a qualitative interpretive content analysis of 300 randomly selected student anecdotal evaluations of their classroom experiences that were cross-referenced to the empirical research that formally defines effective teaching characteristics. Six attribution themes emerged from the students' online perceptions: Articulate, Competent, Content-expert, Empowering, Perceptive, and Trustworthy that in their complexity were re-articulated for latent symbolism and problematised through an adult education lens. These findings subsequently led to development of the ACCEPT Model of Student Discernment of Effective Teaching Characteristics. The research findings contribute to a further understanding of students' ability to discern and report effective teaching characteristics through an online faculty rating system that is informal and less traditional, for the purpose of improving teaching and learning practices in college settings in British Columbia. There are six recommendations provided that will be of interest to administrators, faculty, students, and institutional researchers regarding student evaluation of effective teaching characteristics and adult learning needs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Instructional improvement begins with an increased awareness of the research concerning the methods, sources, and tools utilized to enhance the individual's skill level and instructional repertoire. The most extensive research source of instructional improvement comes from the students themselves, who sit day to day in classrooms and can be considered to be on the "front lines." Characteristics of teaching effectiveness, when identified and explored, can be modeled by instructors seeking improvement. More than just a set of techniques, instructional improvement is a continual process of renewal requiring commitment. In this dissertation, the author explored the themes of students' written comments through a content analysis regarding the strengths of faculty teaching in the graduate school. The author intended to (a) identify the characteristics of highly rated faculty, and (b) describe the characteristics of highly rated faculty. Characteristics described are not objective categories; they are based on the subjective comments concerning the experiences of graduate students. Results indicated that graduate students described highly rated instructors as open to hearing students and encouraging discussion/interaction, knowledgeable, enthusiastic, experienced in the field, prepared/organized, helpful, understanding, and understandable. Highly rated instructors created a collaborative, challenging, yet comfortable environment in which students felt they were an integral part of the learning process.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Talking about Leaving Revisited discusses findings from a five-year study that explores the extent, nature, and contributory causes of field-switching both from and among “STEM” majors, and what enables persistence to graduation. The book reflects on what has and has not changed since publication of Talking about Leaving: Why Undergraduates Leave the Sciences (Elaine Seymour & Nancy M. Hewitt, Westview Press, 1997). With the editors’ guidance, the authors of each chapter collaborate to address key questions, drawing on findings from each related study source: national and institutional data, interviews with faculty and students, structured observations and student assessments of teaching methods in STEM gateway courses. Pitched to a wide audience, engaging in style, and richly illustrated in the interviewees’ own words, this book affords the most comprehensive explanatory account to date of persistence, relocation and loss in undergraduate sciences. Comprehensively addresses the causes of loss from undergraduate STEM majors—an issue of ongoing national concern. Presents critical research relevant for nationwide STEM education reform efforts. Explores the reasons why talented undergraduates abandon STEM majors. Dispels popular causal myths about why students choose to leave STEM majors. This volume is based upon work supported by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Award No. 2012-6-05 and the National Science Foundation Award No. DUE 1224637.

This book was released on 2011-09-22 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Centralization and over-professionalization can lead to the disappearance of a critical environment capable of linking the human sciences to the “real world.” The authors of this volume suggest that the humanities need to operate in a concrete cultural environment able to influence procedures on a hic et nunc basis, and that they should not entirely depend on normative criteria whose function is often to hide ignorance behind a pretentious veil of value-neutral objectivity. In sociology, the growth of scientism has fragmented ethical categories and distorted discourse between our inner and outer selves, while philosophy is suffering from an empty professionalism current in many philosophy departments in industrialized and developing countries where boring, ahistorical, and nonpolitical exercises are justified through appeals to false excellence. In all branches of the humanities, absurd evaluation processes foster similar tendencies as they create a sterile atmosphere and prevent interdisciplinarity and creativity. Technicization of theory plays into the hands of technocrats. The authors offer a broad range of approaches and interpretations, reaching from philosophy of education to the re-evaluation of business models for universities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Handbook outlines the current state of research in social studies education – a complex, dynamic, challenging field with competing perspectives about appropriate goals, and on-going conflict over the content of the curriculum. Equally important, it encourages new research in order to advance the field and foster civic competence; long maintained by advocates for the social studies as a fundamental goal. In considering how to organize the Handbook, the editors searched out definitions of social studies, statements of purpose, and themes that linked (or divided) theory, research, and practices and established criteria for topics to include. Each chapter meets one or more of these criteria: research activity since the last Handbook that warrants a new analysis, topics representing a major emphasis in the NCSS standards, and topics reflecting an emerging or reemerging field within the social studies. The volume is organized around seven themes: Change and Continuity in Social Studies Civic Competence in Pluralist Democracies Social Justice and the Social Studies Assessment and Accountability Teaching and Learning in the Disciplines Information Ecologies: Technology in the Social Studies Teacher Preparation and Development The Handbook of Research in Social Studies is a must-have resource for all beginning and experienced researchers in the field.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this volume, leading scholars from the fields of communication, educational psychology, and international education address what is known about the strategic role of interpersonal communication in the teaching/learning process. Instruction often involves spoken communication that carries information from teacher to learner, and in these instances the teacher's skillful and strategic use of language has a measurable impact on learning outcomes. Thus, the cumulative findings of instructional communication research are instrumental in maximizing the efficiency and effectiveness of both teaching and learning. Major sections of this volume include: Historical and Theoretical Foundations Instructor Characteristics and Behaviors Student Characteristics and Outcomes Pedagogy and Classroom Management Teaching and Learning Communication Across the Life-span This handbook serves researchers, professors, and graduate students by surveying the collective findings of research and experience concerning the intentional activity of teaching and learning.
