Though human behavior is complex, and qualitative research can generate multiple interpretations and realities, the words of participants provide the meaning to life that is often missing with quantitative data. Hearing instructors’ voices allows others to understand their experiences from a social, cultural, and educational context. Voice from Participant 1 (P1) Teacher as classroom manager P1 has an open and friendly approach, with a quick and engaging smile. Through the researcher’s observation in P1’s classroom instruction, P1 and her students share responsibility for the work. Students are allowed to move independently around the classroom, working with others in their groups. They ask questions and occasionally make suggestions as to
I am delegated to assist pupils that require extra guidance by further explaining the work set. Using my own initiative I conclude the best approach of how to teach each pupil. Therefore, developing my confidence of how to interact with diverse age groups.
To create a classroom climate where pupils come up with their own ideas, think aloud and explore their understanding. Questioning should take the form of open-ended questions to encourage the children putting their own ideas forward without being led by an adult. The adult can then ask the children’s peers what they think of another child’s idea to generate feedback. Generally in the lessons in Ambergate school the children are reminded when working to ask, who, what, when, why and how to ensure they get sufficient feedback to enable them with the tasks set.
Mike’s second truly inspirational instructor was at Loyola University during a set of classes commonly referred to as the sophomore survey. For Dr. Frank Carothers, being a professor was “a profoundly social calling” . Frank was excited about what he taught and that excitement and love of the material caused interest and stimulation in his students.
Student’s performance during pair work: the way students completed a pair-work task, the responses they made during the task, and the type of language they used.
-Students are working in groups with different levels of understanding. Their peers will mentor them and hold them accountable to their work.
For the purpose of this interview the students will be known as G.S. or group of students, the novice teacher will be known as N.T. and the veteran teacher will be known as V.T. All three participants were asked the exact same questions but the teachers were asked a few more questions as they related to their classrooms.
students have to meet. This paper will be a reflection on one goal from each disposition
Specific quantitative data, such as assessments and student work helped to identify the instructional areas they should be targeted by our educators. However, the qualitative data collected (surveys), connected directly to my identified root cause and gave me a deeper, clearer
The students each volunteered read their sentences. Olgesby offered feedback to each student indicating success or encouraging them to utilize the skills taught to write a sentence. The students were the placed in pairs to revise sentences that needed to be corrected. During the 15 minutes, Olgesby monitored the students’ progress and assisted them when necessary. Olgesby asked the students to reflect on what they learned in science. Once they completed their reflections, the students left for art class. Olgesby and I spent her planning period discussing her teaching methods, expectations for her students, and community involvement in the SPED program.
Overall, the students in Mrs. Park’s classes are very well behaved. The main challenge is keeping the students engaged and alert in class. Often times, there will be a student, or several, with their heads down on the desk, asleep. Mrs. Park addresses this issue by quietly walking over to their desk, without disrupting class, and asking the students to complete a particular task. If the issue persists, Mrs. Park will have a discussion with the student to ask them how they think that the issue can be resolved. I have observed that the students are much more alert when they are working in cooperative
Will attempt to create an atmosphere of where each student learns to work independently on his or her level to avoid learned helplessness at all cost.
Society expects for students to be able to learn and comprehend any information that is being thrown out. Some students seem naturally enthusiastic about learning, but many need-or expect-their instructors to inspire, challenge, and
needs are met and they feel as if they are respected by the teacher. Mutual respect is once again
The qualitative feature in this study is only minimal. To alter to a predominately qualitative study; first, Oreck would need to expand the narrative section either through interview or observation. Second, utilize purposeful sample and narrow phenomena scope to ensure rich descriptions for transferability. Whereas, as stated the sample consist of a board spectrum of grades, and types of teachers (specialty, general).
Mrs. Tijerina has a sturdy relationship built with her students. She has desire to see them succeed and flourish in the Spanish culture while mining high expectations. Mrs. Tijerina wants every single student to be involved or to give feedback. There was not a single student in the classroom that did not participate in discussion or did not have a chance to voice their opinion. Mrs. Tijerina treated every student with respect, and expected that she would be respected as well. If a student was talking out of hand, Mrs. Tijerina was capable to getting them to stop immediately. Since she has a strong desire for the students to excel, she predominantly speaks in
