This book was released on 2014 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Administrative support plays a vital role in the self-efficacy of special education teachers (Otto & Arnold, 2005). In order to meet the education needs of special education students and comply with Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEA, 2004) and the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB, 2002), education leaders and policy makers need to be aware of the correlation between stronger administrative support and special education teacher self-efficacy (Thornton, Peltier, & Medina, 2007). Research shows that one of the most important administrative tasks is to demonstrate an understanding of the special education teachers' role (Otto & Arnold). Given the consistent positive impact of teacher self-efficacy, it is imperative to identify constructs that increase perceived self-efficacy or that act in concert with self-efficacy to obtain positive results (Nir & Kranot, 2006). This paper examines the construct of administrative support as a factor in the self-efficacy of special education teachers by focusing on the relation between special education teachers and building-level administrators of special education. This type research is needed in order to provide building-level administrators in this central Virginia school system with definitive leadership strategies to use in their efforts to support special education teachers. Recommendations for future research are offered.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many factors can influence a teacher's self-efficacy beliefs, including the support of his or her administrators--the principal and assistant principal. This interpretive phenomenological study sought to describe the influence that administrator support had on teacher self-efficacy. The conceptual framework of this study was Bandura's (1986) social cognitive theory with a specific focus on the construct of self-efficacy (Bandura, 1977a). The research questions addressed the impact of a supportive administrator and sought to describe specific examples of administrator practices that influenced individual teacher self-efficacy. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with teachers in a school district in the southeastern United States. Participants were selected for interviews based on their experiences in education with multiple administrators. All interviews were taped, transcribed, and analyzed using coding and thematic analysis. The study provided detailed descriptions of how administrative support influenced teacher self-efficacy and examples of supportive administrative practices. Six supportive administrator practices were identified: communication, monitoring and evaluating instruction, providing contingent rewards and recognition, situational awareness, consideration, and consistency. Supportive administrator practice influenced teacher self-efficacy through five themes: increasing confidence, motivation, feeling valued, reinforcement, and leaving or staying in a school or the profession. This study could contribute to positive change in administrator/teacher relationships and help administrators increase teacher self-efficacy, thereby leading to increased quality of instruction, focus on academics, positive learning environments, and student achievement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: MISSION STATEMENT: Maximising self-concept is recognised as a critical goal in itself and a means to facilitate other desirable outcomes in a diversity of settings. The desire to feel positively about oneself and the benefits of this feeling on choice, planning, persistence, and subsequent accomplishments transcend traditional disciplinary barriers and are central to goals in many social policy areas. ‘International Advances in Self Research’ monograph series publishes scholarly works that primarily focus on self-concept research and pertain to a broad array of self-related constructs and processes including self-esteem, self-efficacy, identity, motivation, anxiety, self-attributions, self-regulated learning, and meta-cognition. The research focus of the monograph series includes theory underlying these constructs, their measurement, their relation to each other and to other constructs, their enhancement and their application in research and practice. Chapters address a wide cross-section of: settings participants and research areas This series has a special interest in self-concept theory and research in settings characterised by diversity, such as special education, linguistic diversity, socioeconomic and cultural diversity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book the editors have been able to provide a snapshot of current research being undertaken in the Asia-Pacific region in regards to teacher self-efficacy beliefs. This includes specific focuses on inclusive teaching, professionalism, subject domains, collective efficacy as well as specific contexts of early childhood education and care, primary schools education, special needs schools and teacher education. This allows the reader to begin to develop an understanding about the complexity of teacher self-efficacy as well as the development and relationship between self-efficacy and other theoretical constructs and concepts. The book begins with an overall summary of research in the Asia-Pacific region before moving to a specific focus on research in different countries. All of the chapters also provide hope to the reader about the possibilities of understanding and supporting teachers and schools beliefs to enhance teacher behaviour. Through the implementation of teacher self-efficacy beliefs into educational contexts, teacher education programmes and professional development programmes, there is strong hope that the outcomes of education systems in supporting all students in their learning can be achieved. By allowing teachers to develop their own sources of efficacy and supporting these through all stages of career development, all children can be supported in their own learning.

Download or read book The Influence of Social Support on Teacher Self-efficacy in Novice Agricultural Education Teachers written by Debra S. Korte and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teacher self-efficacy affects student achievement, job satisfaction, and teacher retention. Although the benefits of social support have been extensively studied in medicine and psychology, limited research has been completed in education to evaluate the ways in which social support influences teacher self-efficacy. The purpose of this descriptive-relational study was to determine the influence of sources and types of support on teacher self-efficacy in novice agricultural education teachers. The target population was novice teachers of agriculture from Illinois (n = 192) and Indiana (n = 104). Teachers' perceptions of support from three non-school sources (e.g., spouse or partner, family, friends) and six school sources (e.g., administrators, teachers at school, teachers in FFA section or district, students, parents, community) of support within three support constructs were used to predict the contribution of social support on teacher self-efficacy. Novice agricultural education teachers' perceptions of support from school sources -- predominantly students and community -- explained 25.3% of the variance in teacher self-efficacy. Whereas mastery experiences are widely recognized as the primary source of self-efficacy, the results from this study imply the support (i.e., verbal or social persuasion) novice agricultural education teachers perceive from students and community are the most significant predictors of teacher self-efficacy. These findings advocate the need for novice teachers of agriculture to develop quality relationships with students and community members to increase teacher self-efficacy and potentially improve teacher retention.

Download or read book Analyzing the Influence of Perceived Administrative Support on Teachers' Affective Organizational Commitment and Job Satisfaction written by Caroline R. Gilbert and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study explored the relationships between perceived administrative support, job satisfaction, and organizational commitment as experienced by elementary teachers. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 16 elementary school teachers to gain insight through their perspectives of the lived experiences of administrator support and how it influences job satisfaction and organizational commitment. Social exchange theory was selected as the guiding theory for the study, which is best applied to understand the nature of the relationships between perceived administrative support and organizational commitment. The study's findings indicated that teachers' perceptions of support are directly affected by their relationship with their administrators. The themes from the research suggest administrators must establish relationships built on praise and trust to affect teachers' organizational commitment positively. Additional themes suggest that administrator trust is perceived as the level of autonomy afforded to teachers in the classroom along with the availability of leadership opportunities. Those who shared negative experiences with their administration, both past and present, including distrust and dissatisfaction, had little to no affective commitment, which resulted in either leaving the school or the profession. Those who shared positive experiences with their administrator that resulted in feeling valued, expressed various levels of positive affective commitment. Satisfaction may be defined differently depending on years of experience; however, the presence of administrative support and the perception thereof is an essential element in achieving job satisfaction. The teachers in this study expressed that a sense of job satisfaction comes from the opportunity to explore leadership within the school. The findings of this study converge with the notion that perceived administrative support significantly influences teachers' decisions to attrite. Recognizing the lack of leadership opportunities within the inherent teaching model, it is recommended that districts implement systems of leadership advancement opportunities for teachers. Further, recognizing the role that leadership plays in the retention of teachers, a shift must be made in not only how we choose leadership but how we support, train, and evaluate leadership in schools. A larger quantitative survey of teachers nationwide is recommended for future research to further understand the attitudes of teachers toward their perceptions of administrative support in terms of leadership opportunities and teacher autonomy.

This book was released on 2021 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of a student-centered curriculum has the potential to increase the academic achievement of students primarily due to the aspects of increased engagement and critical thinking strategies associated with this type of curriculum. This study utilized a multiple regression analysis to analyze data retrieved from the responses to a Likert Scale survey completed by 246 teachers to identify the impact of specific variables such as administrative support, professional development opportunities, and school culture on the teachers’ self-efficacy toward utilizing a student-centered curriculum in the classroom. The study revealed the two independent variables of teachers’ perceptions of professional development opportunities and school culture had a significant impact on the teachers’ self-efficacy toward utilizing a student-centered curriculum in the classroom. Additionally, the study revealed administrative support did not have a significant impact on the dependent variable.

Book excerpt: Improve student outcomes with collective teacher efficacy. If educators’ realities are filtered through the belief that they can do very little to influence student achievement, then it is likely these beliefs will manifest in their practice. The solution? Collective efficacy (CE)—the belief that, through collective actions, educators can influence student outcomes and increase achievement. Educators with high efficacy show greater effort and persistence, willingness to try new teaching approaches, and attend more closely to struggling students’ needs. This book presents practical strategies and tools for increasing student achievement by sharing: Rationale and sources for establishing CE Conditions and leadership practices for CE to flourish Professional learning structures/protocols

This book was released on 2024-03-29 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The COVID-19 pandemic has presented the field of early childhood education with several challenges, including the need to shift early childhood instruction online. The effect of COVID-19 and social distancing regulations were experienced differently by families, teachers, teacher educators, early interventionists, and program administrators. These differences were exacerbated by socio-economic status, cultural backgrounds, and diversity in children's developmental trajectories and disabilities. Theoretical assumptions guiding the early childhood education field propose that learning is an active process fostered by an environment that supports exploration, manipulation, social interactions, and play. These foundations lay at the core of the early childhood education field. These past years, covering education in the time of COVID-19, have represented a time for readjustment and learning for those attempting to meet the needs of young children in several capacities. This book integrates perspectives of early childhood educators, higher education early childhood preparation programs, families, administrators, and early interventionists while taking into account the district roles of socioeconomic status, differences in developmental trajectories, disabilities, and cultural backgrounds. This book synthesizes the many lessons learned during the first years of the COVID-19 pandemic and puts forward recommendations for the future of early childhood education in times of rapid and continuous change in the world and the field. This book should prove especially helpful for practitioners, educators, families, and policymakers looking for a source that integrates the knowledge gathered in past unprecedented years. The field of early childhood will never be the same, and this book attempts to capitalize on the experiences lived during these challenging times.
