Book Synopsis The Impact of Teachers' Attitudes and Perceptions on the Under Representation of African American Students in Gifted Education Programs by : J. Kathryn Schreiner
Download or read book The Impact of Teachers' Attitudes and Perceptions on the Under Representation of African American Students in Gifted Education Programs written by J. Kathryn Schreiner and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research studied the potential impact of teachers' attitudes and perceptions on the under representation of African American students in gifted education programs. The study was conducted in an urban, Midwest school district with 322 elementary school teachers participating. Results indicated that, in general, teachers perceive that African American learners have a more difficult time learning than do students from other ethnic groups. The mean score for White teachers was significantly higher than the mean scores for Minorities. Results also indicated that, in general, teachers perceive that, although African American learners are served at a higher rate than White students in special education programs, they are not misidentified, and thus belong in those programs when they are placed there. The mean scores of Minority teachers, teachers over the age of 35, and teachers who had taught more than 15 years were significantly lower, although their scores still indicated a general agreement with the idea that they are not misidentified. The final significant finding was that younger teachers (22 0́3 35 years of age) felt that they have had more adequate training in how to teach students from different cultural backgrounds. This did not, however, seem to make any difference in their attitudes toward African American learners' ability to learn or misidentification.

Book Synopsis Primary Grade Teachers' Conceptions of Giftedness and Talent by : Catherine M. Brighton
Download or read book Primary Grade Teachers' Conceptions of Giftedness and Talent written by Catherine M. Brighton and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the ongoing, extensive focus on the more equitable representation of gifted students from diverse populations, poor and minority students remain underserved by gifted education proportional to their representation in the broader student population (Donovan & Cross, 2002; U.S. Department of Education, 1993). One possible factor contributing to the continued under-representation of poor and minority students in gifted programs is an inadequate understanding of the roots of the problem in the earliest years of schooling. Failure to identify and develop talent in very young children has been linked to subsequent negative outcomes in cognitive, academic, social, and affective development (Neihart, Reis, Robinson, & Moon, 2002). The National Research Center on the Gifted and Talented (NRC/GT) at the University of Virginia conducted a two-phase, mixed-methods study designed to explore the beliefs and practices of teachers at the primary school level (grades K-2). Of particular interest were (a) teachers' beliefs about the nature of giftedness in young students; (b) teachers' beliefs about how giftedness is manifested and distributed across cultural and socioeconomic groups of young students; and (c) teachers' classroom practices related to talent development in the primary grades. In this way, the study considered both teachers' attitudes and beliefs about giftedness and the translation of these beliefs into instructional practices related to perceived student potential. In addition, the study explored the pedagogical potential of equipping teachers with context-specific lessons that incorporate strategies most likely to uncover and develop talent in previously unrecognized gifted students. The first phase of the project involved a multidisciplinary review of the relevant literature to determine those attributes, principles, and recommendations for identifying talent in at-risk, disadvantaged, and culturally diverse young children. The general themes from these literatures informed the development of a survey designed to assess primary grade teachers' beliefs, attitudes, and practices in regard to young gifted (or potentially gifted) students from diverse backgrounds. The second phase of the study involved intensive classroom observations by trained participant observers in primary grade classrooms in six diverse elementary schools. The purpose of this phase of the project was to extensively describe and document the classroom context and to determine the degree of consistency between teachers' philosophies about giftedness and talent and their classroom practices aimed at nurturing and developing talent in all students, particularly those from under-represented groups. Findings from both phases of this study revealed consistent patterns in four interrelated areas: (a) factors internal to the teacher, (b) forces on the teacher outside the self, (c) teacher behaviors, and (d) observable student behaviors and verbal responses which operate in concert to shape the course of talent development for typically underserved children in primary grade classrooms. (Separate chapters have references and appendices. Contains 8 tables and 1 figure.).

Book Synopsis Teacher Motivation by : Paul W. Richardson
Download or read book Teacher Motivation written by Paul W. Richardson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-05-30 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teacher Motivation: Theory and Practice provides a much needed introduction to the current status and future directions of theory and research on teacher motivation. Although there is a robust literature covering the theory and research on student motivation, until recently there has been comparatively little attention paid to teachers. This volume draws together a decade of work from psychological theorists and researchers interested in what motivates people to choose teaching as a career, what motivates them as they work with students in classrooms, the impact of intrinsic and extrinsic forces on career experiences, and how their motivational profiles vary at different stages of their career. With chapters from leading experts on the topic, this volume provides a critical resource not only for educational psychologists, but also for those working in related fields such as educational leadership, teacher development, policy makers and school psychology.
