Book excerpt: This study investigated the influence of gender, primary subject area, and education level on high school teachers' perceptions of their application of student-centered-learning instructional strategies. An original survey was used to evaluate teacher perceptions. The survey contained a short demographic section, 28 items related to perception of application of student-centered-learning instructional strategies, and four items related to perception of school administration and fellow teacher support of these same strategies. Cronbach alpha for the overall instrument was .94, which suggested strong reliability and internal consistency. All core and non-core high school teachers in 13 public school districts in northeast Georgia served as the sample. A total of 470 valid responses were returned, yielding a response rate of 45.6%. Descriptive statistics were used to describe participants' overall perceptions of application of student-centered-learning instructional strategies. A series of one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) procedures were used to compare perceptions of teachers based on gender, primary subject area, and education level. No statistically significant difference in teacher perception was found based on gender. No statistically significant difference in teacher perception was found based on education level. A statistically significant difference in teacher perception was found based on primary subject area. Effect size for this difference was -0.32, which indicated a small effect. Correlations were used to determine relationships between teachers' perceptions of application of student-centered-learning instructional strategies and perceived school administration and fellow teachers' support of these same strategies. A statistically significant positive correlation was found between teachers' perception of application of student-centered-learning instructional strategies and perceived school administration support of these same strategies. A statistically significant positive correlation was found between teachers' perception of application of student-centered-learning instructional strategies and perceived fellow teacher support of these same strategies. This study adds to literature on teachers' perceptions of student-centered-learning instructional strategies. The study indicated that teachers perceived they are using student-centered-learning instructional strategies, and other strategies as well. Teacher education programs and professional development should focus on these strategies in efforts to increase frequency of use of the strategies. Additionally, the study indicated that teachers feel supported by both school administration and fellow teachers in regards to the use of student-centered-learning instructional strategies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Interviewing is one of the most frequently used research tools in the social sciences, yet its importance as a technique is usually underestimated. As Janet Powney and Mike Watts point out, the practical difficulties of interviewing are often understated, and the theoretical assumptions and implications of conducting interviews can prejudice a researcher’s conclusions. Originally published in 1987, this introductory, practical guide widens the debate about interviewing with discussion and advice on interviewing in different kinds of educational inquiry, ranging from large-scale surveys to research carried out in individual schools. The authors give guidelines for preparing, conducting, reporting and analysing interviews, and discuss the practical and theoretical problems arising from each of these aspects. Examples are taken from six case studies contributed by researchers who have conducted interviews for different purposes and in different ways. Interviewing in Educational Research will be valuable to students and researchers in many fields, not only in educational research, but generally in the social sciences, in medical research, economics, business, social planning and administration.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this much needed resource, Maryellen Weimer-one of the nation's most highly regarded authorities on effective college teaching-offers a comprehensive work on the topic of learner-centered teaching in the college and university classroom. As the author explains, learner-centered teaching focuses attention on what the student is learning, how the student is learning, the conditions under which the student is learning, whether the student is retaining and applying the learning, and how current learning positions the student for future learning. To help educators accomplish the goals of learner-centered teaching, this important book presents the meaning, practice, and ramifications of the learner-centered approach, and how this approach transforms the college classroom environment. Learner-Centered Teaching shows how to tie teaching and curriculum to the process and objectives of learning rather than to the content delivery alone.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Provides practical applications of democratic teaching for classes in history/social studies education, multicultural and social justice education, community service and civic engagement, and education and public policy. We, the Students and Teachers shows history and social studies educators how to make school classrooms into democratic spaces for teaching and learning. The book offers practical strategies and lesson ideas for transforming democratic theory into instructional practice. It stresses the importance of students and teachers working together to create community and change. The book serves as an essential text for history and social studies teaching methods courses as well as professional development and inservice programs for history and social studies teachers at all grade levels. The key to the excellent potential of this book is its assertion that democratic teaching can be linked to content, especially historical content, not just to a generic notion of student-centered instruction. The theory-to-practice emphasis is very explicit, as is the emphasis on the voices of the teachers and students who participated in the research. The book also takes a highly creative approach to its topic that I find very refreshing. Elizabeth Washington, University of Florida This is an important book. Maloy and LaRoche reveal the challenges that face historians as we grapple with increasingly fraught public and political perceptions of our discipline. Their strategies for reconstituting the classroom as a laboratory for instilling democratic values and practices are both ingenious and practical.

This book was released on 2021 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Changes made to science education on the national level caused many changes for state education systems. In the state of Georgia, science education instructional leaders also saw the need for a change in the way science needed to be taught to students. Due to the need to improve science teaching and learning and to increase interest in the STEM fields, Georgia Standards of Excellence for Science were released in 2016. Science teachers were required to shift their instructional practices to teach science as a practice by engaging students in specific tasks aligned to science and engineering practices. This study focused on the perceptions of middle and high school science teachers about the implementation of the 5E Instructional Model in science education. Perceptions conceptual frameworks were used in a cohesive approach to understand the experiences middle and high school science teachers had toward the implementation process of a new instructional strategy. A qualitative descriptive study was conducted to capture teachers’ perceptions of the 5E Instructional Model and its impact during their instruction. To obtain descriptive data, virtual semi-structured interviews were conducted. Purposive sampling was used to recruit eight middle and high school science teachers. Interviews were transcribed and coded, then findings were organized into themes. Three major themes derived from the descriptive data were: (1) Provided Structure to the Teaching and Learning Process; (2) Required More Time to Develop and Implement Lessons; (3) Provided Student Centered and Hands-On Instruction. The researcher discussed the implications of the study, disseminated the findings, and provided recommendations for future studies.

This book was released on 2021 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Independent, silent reading has traditionally been an activity done in elementary schools and, to some degree, middle schools. However, in an age of high-stakes testing, the effectiveness of allowing high school students time in class to independently read literature of their choice continues to be debated. High school teachers have to weigh any benefits of students independently reading choice literature with the time that it takes from other instruction. This qualitative case study examined if allowing students to read literature of their choice independently in an ELA classroom for a set amount of time per week has an effect on reading achievement. Participants in this study included a high school ELA teacher and a high school library media specialist. Both participants completed an online, researcher-designed survey that included 21 Likert scale questions and five open-ended questions, and both participated in a follow-up interview. Data were also gathered from on-site observations at the selected school and additional in-person discussions with both participants. Results from this study reveal different beliefs in the use of choice, independent reading in the secondary ELA classroom. The data suggest that choice, independent reading may not be effective in all classrooms. Additional research is needed to investigate in what classroom situations and settings choice, independent reading would result in improved reading achievement among students.

This book was released on 2018-06-08 with total page 587 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As traditional classroom settings are transitioning to online environments, teachers now face the challenge of using this medium to promote effective learning strategies, especially when teaching older age groups. Because adult learners bring a different set of understandings and skills to education than younger students, such as more job and life experiences, the one-size-fits-all approach to teaching does not work, thus pushing educators to create a student-centered approach for each learner. The Handbook of Research on Student-Centered Strategies in Online Adult Learning Environments is an important resource providing readers with multiple perspectives to approach issues often associated with adult learners in an online environment. This publication highlights current research on topics including, but not limited to, online competency-based education, nontraditional adult learners, virtual classrooms in public universities, and teacher training for online education. This book is a vital reference for online trainers, adult educators, university administrators, researchers, and other academic professionals looking for emerging information on utilizing online classrooms and environments in student-centered adult education.

Book excerpt: This qualitative case study was developed to explore teachers’ perceptions of the use of differentiated instructional strategies and the impact it had on teacher practice and student learning after engaging in a professional development initiative. Teachers were trained using two professional development modules; a 90-minute face-to-face module and/or, an eight-hour book club. The research questions addressed how targeted professional development, in differentiated instruction, changed teacher instructional practice and how teachers, who used differentiated instructional strategies and techniques, perceived these strategies impacted student learning. Data instruments included teacher perception surveys, demographic surveys, classroom observations, lesson plan checklists, semi-structured questionnaires, and book club evaluations were collected over a two month time period, were analyzed from themes using a manual coding system. Based on the multiple sources of data collected, teachers needed change for their instructional practices and more differentiated instructional strategies in their daily lesson delivery models.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Technology-facilitated personalized learning (PL) approaches have become increasingly common in K-12 schools across the United States, and as distance learning becomes more common during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, they are poised to become even more widely used. PL aims to create individual learning experiences and pathways for students. PL takes a wide variety of forms and typically involves changes to instructional materials and practices as well as school and system-level organizational conditions. These changes are often facilitated by technology. Despite the popularity of PL, little data exists on the prevalence of PL practices, and there is only limited understanding of the conditions needed to support high-quality PL implementation, particularly in high schools. This report presents findings from RAND's 2018 American Teacher Panel. As part of the survey, a nationally representative sample of high school teachers responded to questions about their use of instructional practices consistent with PL and access to necessary supports. The findings should be useful to practitioners, professional development and support providers, researchers, and policymakers who are interested in understanding how high school teachers are using PL practices and which supports and resources they need to use them effectively.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “What a learned-centered perspective and model helps educators understand is that individual learners, young and old, students and teachers—like all human beings—bring with them a complex array of unique viewpoints, needs, capacities, and strengths. At the same time, they share certain fundamental qualities. The inherent need to grow, live, and develop in a positive direction, for example, is common to all learners. What best supports these inherent capacities and distinctive characteristics? To find out, we asked students and educators what they thought produced the highest levels of learning in not only academic areas but also personal, social, and vocational realms.”—from the Preface The Learner-Centered Classroom and School shows educators and administrators how they can create classrooms and schools that foster student motivation, learning, and achievement. The learner-centered approach provides a dual focus on both learner and learning. It focuses on learners by respecting them, trusting them to be responsible for their own learning, and designing practices that are sensitive to individual needs, abilities, and interests. It focuses on learning by designing practices that help students meet high academic standards in challenging, personally relevant, and important content areas. The book is filled with useful examples and practical suggestions for implementing learner-centered concepts in any school or classroom. It will help educators examine beliefs and assumptions related to learner-centered practices and make changes that enhance student motivation and achievement.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2015, the United States government signed the Every Student Succeeds Act which called for evidence-based interventions, strategies, and programs in K-12 education. Mission statements in districts around the country echoed the need for evidence-based, or research-based practices in classrooms to bolster student achievement. While a wealth of research exists regarding the movement of research into practice, most studies are centered on teacher education programs, or pre-service teachers' use of research in first or early years. Little is known about how veteran public school teachers apply research in their practices. In this qualitative inquiry, eleven veteran public school teachers from elementary, middle, and high schools were interviewed using a semi-structured protocol to determine their perceptions of research-to-practice in education. Using a two-stage process, the data was analyzed for codes, categories, and themes. Four themes emerged: Engagement, Resistance, Research-to-Practice in Action, and Proposed Practices. Teachers in this study lacked a means of collaboration between themselves and educational researchers; instead they used materials from SD/PD offerings and the expertise of other educators as their primary means of learning about research or research-based methods and strategies, neither of which required direct contact with researchers or research articles. Other research has suggested that collaboration between teachers and researchers would help bridge the research-to-practice gap (Alber & Nelson, 2010; Ball, 2012; Cooper, 2007; Hedges, 2010; McIntyre, 2005; Schneider, 2014; Wentworth, Carranza & Stipek, 2016), but the present study suggests that veteran public school teachers prefer to collaborate amongst themselves, in their own way, and through their own preferred mediums. Inserting meaningful, contextually relevant, and important research into these interactions is a step toward bridging the research-to-practice gap in education. A Self-Directed Teacher Research-in-Practice Model is advanced to address the findings of the study, and empower teachers in practice to embrace and use research in meaningful ways.
