Anderson, Winnie. "Perception of first-year teachers concerning the extent to which a mentoring program helps to establish efficacy with regards to organizational skills, effective classroom management skills, creative instructional strategies and strategies for retention intentions."

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to ascertain the impact of an effective mentoring program upon first-year teachers to acquire efficacy in the areas of organizational skills, effective classroom management skills, creative instructional strategies and strategies for retention intentions. A Mentor Teacher Survey Instrument was administered to new teachers in six middle schools and 27 respondents provided completed surveys. The data were computed using Cronbach coefficient alpha and correlations using version 16.0 of the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). Cronbach’s alpha coefficients computations for each subscale were as follows: .883, organizational skills subscale, .796, classroom management subscale, and .910 instructional strategies subscale. The one-sample t tests were performed to compare the mean responses of the non- demographic survey items with the neutral test value of 3.0. A bivariate correlation was used to determine the relationship between first-year teachers’ sense of efficacy for organizational skills, classroom management, instructional strategies and retention intentions. The statistical significance was established at the .05 level of probability. The SPSS 16.0 bivariate correlation procedure computed Pearson’s product-moment coefficient (r) and Spearman’s rho (p), to measure the strength of the correlation. A point biserial application of the Pearson correlation was used because one of the variables was dichotomous and the second variable was measured on an interval or ratio scale. An alpha level of .05 was set a priori was used to determine if significant differences! relationships existed between variables of interest. The SPS S data revealed a null hypothesis thus indicating that the respondents expressed a neutral attitude concerning their mentoring experience. The respondent’s responses revealed 314 negative responses out of a total of 460 positive responses. These 314 responses were computed as the lowest scores assigned by the Likert Scale. A comprehensive study was conducted in 2001 and the researcher made recommendations to the school district to revamp their induction/mentoring program and the system ignored the recommendation; therefore, this researcher supports the 2001 study and confirms that the local school district needs to make significant modification to their induction/mentoring program.

Full textAbstract:
Business managers' failure to retain dissatisfied customers leads to millions of dollars in lost revenue. The purpose of this single case study was to explore managers' training strategies to teach sales associates customer service skills. The sample included 3 training managers from the mobile phone industry in Michigan who recorded a 25 % increase in customer retention after implementing customer service training. The conceptual framework for this study was human capital theory. Data were collected from semistructured interviews and training documents. Data analysis entailed using coding techniques and cluster analysis. Member checking applied to clarify the interpretation of participants' responses and reveal missing information. The 3 themes that emerged were mentoring and recruitment, training and development, and customer satisfaction. Mentoring and recruitment surfaced from the managers' need to hire qualified sales associates. Training and development grew from the need to have a strategy to train sales associates in customer service skills. Customer satisfaction emerged from the need to retain customers for a stable business environment. The findings from this study may contribute to social change by showing the training strategies managers use to teach customer service skills to sustain business and mitigate harmful effects of job loss. The data suggested a trained sales force could work to retain customers and provide customer satisfaction. Data from this study may contribute to the prosperity of mobile phone customers from well-educated sales associates that enhance the quality of using mobile phones in the local communities. The beneficiaries of this research include business managers, sales associates, and customers.

Rudisill, Lanie Jean. "Enhancing a Middle School Student's Self-Management Skills in the Classroom." TopSCHOLAR®, 2018. https://digitalcommons.wku.edu/theses/3044.
Full textAbstract:
Self-regulation (SR) and executive functioning (EF) are important factors for successful student outcomes. Research suggests that executive skills facilitate the process of behavioral self-regulation. Well-developed SR and EF skills make learning more likely. Proper SR has the ability to improve attention levels and EF includes the use of working memory, both of which are essential components of the information processing system that students use continuously. One type of SR, referred to as self-management, involves a cycle of observing and recording one’s own behavior, then evaluating one’s self-assessments against those of an external observer. Self-management interventions have previously been found to reduce students’ inappropriate and off-task behaviors as well as increase classroom preparedness, on-task behavior, and academic performance. This study investigated the impact of a self-management intervention on a middle school student’s classroom preparation behaviors and his EF skills. Results suggest the participant’s overall classroom preparation behaviors were enhanced through his participation in the intervention. A few significant changes were also found in the participant’s pre- and post-intervention EF scores.

Full textAbstract:
Situations-spezifische Fertigkeiten sind ein wichtiger Teil von Lehrerexpertise und insbesondere im Bereich des Klassenmanagements bedeutsam. Vor dem Hintergrund der Kompetenz- und Expertiseforschung synthetisiert die vorliegende Dissertation bisherige Befunde systematisch und untersucht, wie sich Novizen- und Expertenlehrpersonen in ihren Fertigkeiten hinsichtlich des Klassenmanagements unterscheiden. Studie 1 fasst den Forschungsstand in einem systematischen Review von 60 empirischen Studien zusammen und arbeitet Erkenntnisse zu Fertigkeiten und ihrer Förderung sowie zum konzeptuellen Rahmen der Studien heraus. Für Studie 2 und Studie 3 werden die Fertigkeiten von 20 Noviz*innen und 20 Expert*innen mit Hilfe von Videoausschnitten untersucht, die für das Klassenmanagement relevante Ereignisse zeigen. Studie 2 erforscht mit Hilfe von Eye-Tracking-Methoden insbesondere die Fertigkeit der Wahrnehmung sowie formatspezifische Expertiseeffekte. Es fand sich bei Expert*innen ein Fokus auf Schüler*innen, während Noviz*innen vor allem beim Partnerarbeitsformat weniger ausgeprägte Fertigkeiten zeigten. Studie 3 untersucht anhand von retrospektiven verbalen Analysen Expertiseeffekte hinsichtlich des Wahrnehmens, Interpretierens und Entscheidens. Expertise war erneut durch einen Fokus auf Schüler*innen gekennzeichnet. Zudem boten Expert*innen mehr Handlungsmöglichkeiten an als Noviz*innen. Zusammenfassend lässt sich feststellen, dass Expert*innen vor allem hinsichtlich des Entscheidens überlegen sind. Weiterhin deuten die Ergebnisse darauf hin, dass offenere Unterrichtsformate für Noviz*innen besonders herausfordernd sind. Die Bedeutung der Ergebnisse wird hinsichtlich der allgemeinen Expertise- und Kompetenzforschung sowie der Klassenmanagementforschung diskutiert. Die Studien zeigen theoretische Inkohärenz hinsichtlich des Konstrukts situations-spezifischer Fertigkeiten auf, sowie eine starke Fokussierung bisheriger Forschung auf Störungen in Frontalunterrichtsszenen.<br>Situation-specific skills are an important part of teacher expertise and are particularly relevant in the area of classroom management. Against the background of general and classroom management-specific teacher competence and expertise research, this dissertation systematically synthesized previous findings and also investigated how novice and expert teachers differ in their skills with regard to classroom management. Study 1 summarized the state of research in a systematic review of 60 empirical studies, thereby identifying insights into teachers’ skills and their facilitation, as well as the conceptual frameworks of the studies. For Study 2 and Study 3, the skills of 20 novice and 20 expert teachers were examined using video clips that show events relevant to classroom management. Study 2 investigated format-specific expertise effects and, in particular, the skill of perception by using eye tracking methods. Experts were found to focus on students and their learning, while novices showed less pronounced skills, especially in the partner work format. Using teachers’ retrospective verbal analyses of classroom management events, Study 3 examined expertise effects with respect to teachers’ perception, interpretation and decision-making. Again, expertise was characterized by a focus on students. In addition, experts proposed more alternative courses of action than novices. In summary, it can be concluded that experts are superior to novices especially with regard to the skill of decision-making. Furthermore, the results indicate that more open formats of instruction are particularly challenging for novices. The relevance of the results is discussed with regard to general expertise and competence research as well as classroom management research. The studies point to theoretical ambiguities regarding the construct of situation-specific skills, as well as an overemphasis of previous research on behavioral management in whole-group instruction settings.

van, Luinen Edward. "Global leadership| Strategies and practices to develop intercultural skills." Thesis, Pepperdine University, 2016. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=10139809.
Full textAbstract:
<p> Globalization is a transformational change phenomenon that is significantly and rapidly impacting today’s organizations, leaders, and people. In turn, the role of the global business leader has become quite complex, and Fortune 500 organizations are facing a dearth of global leaders capable of addressing today’s business leadership challenges. In response to this challenge, one particular strategy for developing global leaders focuses on building intercultural skills. However, given the complexity of their roles, global leaders may face difficulties in developing these skills. By first acknowledging these obstacles global leaders can then, through their work, develop effective strategies and practices in the intercultural domain. After some time spent working in their global roles, leaders may be in the best position to measure what intercultural strategies and practices are most effective. Once global leaders possess strong intercultural acumen, they can pass on their knowledge to emerging generations of leaders by recommending a number of strategies and practices that have proven effective in navigating the global business arena. </p><p> This study took a qualitative approach through semi-structured interviews of global leaders to gain a deeper understanding of the difficulties faced in developing intercultural skills. From that vantage point, the interviewees articulated strategies they have used to nurture these critical intercultural skills. Success measures for global leaders demonstrating applicable intercultural skills may include effective communication, team cohesion, and goal achievement. Other success measures were discovered as a result of this study. Collectively, these measures inform new strategies and tools to develop and coach future generations of emerging global leaders seeking to enhance their intercultural acumen.</p>

This study's aim is to create awareness of different strategies and speaking skills used asinteraction in primary school by teachers. The study includes comparisons of previousresearchers and relative theoretical perspectives. Semi-structured interviews with threeprimary school teachers from Sweden were conducted for this study. The results revealnumerous factors such as, differences in how teachers´ experiences play a primary rolein the classroom and the time invested in the subject. An additional factor expressed byall the interviewed teachers is the involvement of Lev Vygotsky's theory integrated intheir classrooms. All three teachers were positive to the idea of working in pairs orgroups, as this develops students’ interaction with other students. However, theconclusion demonstrates the lack of previous research concerning interaction in primaryschool.

Lilie, Ron. "Management Strategies in Elementary Inclusion Classrooms." ScholarWorks, 2018. https://scholarworks.waldenu.edu/dissertations/5746.
Full textAbstract:
The increasing popularity of inclusion classrooms has placed a large number of students with special needs with the ones without disabilities. Often, general education teachers lack sufficient training in proven inclusion practices that is necessary to cope with the increase in diverse learning needs. The absence of sufficient training can lead to disruptive behavior and also, induce more stress in the classroom for the educator and the students. The qualitative case study aimed to explore the strategies and techniques used by elementary school teachers to successfully manage inclusion classrooms and to learn how the teachers handled stress. Vygotsky's sociocultural theory provided the theoretical framework for this study. The data collection methods involved observing school classrooms and interviewing teachers. A total of 6 teachers were interviewed and 3 observations were made in the classroom settings of these teachers. All the participants were teachers located in a small rural district of South Central Texas. The collected data were analyzed using cross-case analysis. The findings of this study indicate the most common methods of classroom management, that include the centers formed by small groups of students, and the tailoring of activities based on students' needs. Further, it was learnt that the teachers used a variety of techniques to mitigate their stress levels and to manage their classrooms in a calm manner. Also, using appropriate classroom management techniques can help the students with special needs to learn ways in which they can adapt their own behavior through self-regulation, to function more effectively with others.

Full textAbstract:
In the local school district under study, there has been a lack of professional development (PD) in classroom management, and challenging student behaviors in the classroom are increasing, eroding teachers' self-efficacy. The purpose of this correlational study, guided by a constructivist theoretical framework, was to examine the relationship between teachers' self-efficacy in the classroom when addressing challenging student behaviors and the amount of PD that the teachers have had in classroom management. The convenience sample comprised 99 teachers from 8 elementary schools; this total was based upon a response rate of 45%. The instrument, the Teacher Sense of Efficacy Scale (TSES), was administered via SurveyMonkey-®. Although the Pearson product-moment correlation showed that PD in classroom management and teachers' self-efficacy were not significantly related, the descriptive TSES results indicated that teachers needed specific guidance in addressing challenging students, as evidenced by the lowest score on the TSES for the question asking teachers how well they are able to educate the most difficult students. Instead of planning another series of broad PD sessions for teachers, a behavior management manual was designed to simultaneously help teachers manage challenging student behaviors and increase their self-efficacy in the classroom when addressing challenging student behaviors. The goal is to provide teachers with a manual that they can reference to find resources to address challenging student behaviors and allow them to focus on academic achievement. This behavior management manual for teachers has implications for positive social change in that it can educate teachers on how to manage challenging student behaviors and potentially improve academic performance.

Higher education instructors experience many uncivil behavior challenges among students in the classroom that affect learning. The purpose of this qualitative study was to investigate the effect of higher education classroom management behavior strategies on learning. Guided by Bandura's social learning theory and Piaget's cognitive theory, the research questions were designed to explore the perceptions of instructors and students about classroom management behavior strategies used in college settings and how student classroom incivility affects learning. The study included a panel of experts to aid in determining the feasibility of the project study protocol, testing the adequacy of research instruments, and identifying weaknesses in a study. There were 19 prewritten open-ended interview questions used to gather in-depth feelings, attitudes, and perceptions of 5 instructors' and 5 students' experiences toward classroom incivility from a 2-year college in Texas. Participant interviews were transcribed using open, axial, and selective coding to identify common themes. Discipline referral reports and researcher observation notes were gathered to triangulate the data. The findings indicated the instructors needed training on how to better manage uncivil classroom behaviors among students. The findings were used to develop a professional development training called "Classroom Incivility: Address it Now, Later, or Never." This project resulting from the study could have a direct effect on positive social change by equipping instructors with better tools to effectively manage uncivil behavior among students in their classrooms.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractEven though developing speaking skills is the essential key to achieving proficiency in a target language, there are some pupils (grades 4-6) who do not participate in communication tasks in English classroom. Thus, the purpose of this literature overview is to investigate the reasons for the unwillingness of some young learners to speak and interact in English. In addition, a variety of effective teaching strategies will be observed and analyzed. The used methods were different electronic databases, such as ERC, ERIC and Google Scholar, to access relevant peer-reviewed journal articles to our research questions. The observed and analyzed articles showed that there are some pupils who do not interact because English teachers often focus too much on reading and writing skills rather than on speaking skills. The limitation of communication tasks and large classroom sizes are other mitigating factors. In addition, teachers often using the first language in class resulted in pupils doing the same. This contributes to a lack of motivation and confidence in speaking English for some learners. This study identifies teaching strategies and activities that can be used by the teacher to raise motivation and confidence in speaking English. Results have indicated that the use of Vygotsky's sociocultural learning theory was very useful to involve every pupil in authentic communication tasks, which also provided a supportive communicative environment. Task-based and theme-based learning, such as stories, songs, games, project work and pair work is shown to be beneficial to increase pupils’ motivation towards speaking.

Full textAbstract:
Schools implement school-wide positive behavior support systems to enforce rules, shape maladaptive behaviors, and promote positive climate where students’ wellbeing can improve. A way to reduce disruptive behaviors is with Accept. Identify. Move (AIM) curriculum with reinforcement system and social-emotional components. Statistical t-test of between group of Intervention Classroom and Control Classroom, within Intervention Classroom group, and within Control Classroom group to evaluate changes in psychological flexibility changes after students received the AIM intervention and control classroom intervention. The between group and within Intervention Classroom group t-test produced statistically significant results, and the within Control Classroom group produced no statically significant results. An ABA design was used to evaluate the effectiveness of the two classrooms receiving separate interventions. This study suggests that the AIM intervention can help students develop physiological flexibility skills and decrease disruptive behaviors in the classroom setting.

CLASSROOM STRATEGIES AND TECHNIQUES FROM THE EXPERIENCES OF VETERAN ART EDUCATORS by JOHN PAUL WOOD JR. Under the Direction of Dr. Melody Milbrandt ABSTRACT This educational case study on classroom management was conducted through questionnaire format by way of email and mail correspondence with art teachers working in a south metro Atlanta area school system in February of 2008. It was conducted to gain data on classroom management techniques and strategies from veteran art educators. The data I analyzed provided commonalities in methods, strengths and weaknesses, and techniques used that could potentially assist novice art teachers in areas of managing student behavior, materials and supplies in an art classroom. The findings of this study reveal although art educators of different grade levels teach different art lessons, they share similar approaches to behavior management and have overcome similar problems as novice teachers.

Full textAbstract:
According to the ASCA National Model, school counselors are expected to deliver classroom guidance lessons; yet, there has been little emphasis on graduate coursework targeting the development and implementation of guidance curriculum lessons in PSC training. A national study conducted by Perusse, Goodnough and Noel (2001) was conducted looking at how counselor educators were training "entry level school counseling students" in the skills needed for them to be successful as PSCs. They found that of the 189 school counseling programs surveyed only 3% offered a guidance curriculum course and 13.2% offered a foundations in education course. Inferring that many of programs surveyed did not have a course specific to classroom guidance and/or classroom management. A classroom guidance curriculum is a developmental, systematic method by which students receive structured lessons that address academic, career, and personal/social competencies (ASCA, 2005). Classroom guidance lessons provide a forum for school counselors to address such student needs as educational resources, postsecondary opportunities, school transitions, bullying, violence prevention, social-emotional development, and academic competence in a classroom environment (Akos & Levitt, 2002; Akos, Cockman & Strickland, 2007; Gerler & Anderson, 1986). Through classroom guidance, school counselors can interact with many of the students that they would normally not see on a day-to-day basis while providing information, building awareness and having discussions on topics that affect these student populations every day. The present study seeks to explore the use of an innovative method for training PSCs in classroom guidance and classroom management. This method involves the use of a mixed reality simulation that allows PSC students to learn and practice classroom guidance skills in a simulated environment.<br>ID: 029809443; System requirements: World Wide Web browser and PDF reader.; Mode of access: World Wide Web.; Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Central Florida, 2011.; Includes bibliographical references (p. 176-187).<br>Ph.D.<br>Doctorate<br>Education

This paper describes an evaluation of the effectiveness of Behavioral Skills Training (BST) as an individual parent training model. BST effects on parent responses to child behavior, and by extension, child problem behavior was investigated. The parent participants in the study had children under the age of 10 years old with diagnoses such as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and Autism Spectrum Disorder. The researcher conducted observations in situ and via video transmission. Implications of the study include the ability to effectively apply an intervention for parents in situations where the therapist cannot physically come to the parent’s home as well as the effectiveness of using BST to teach general problem behavior management to caregivers. The results presented suggest that behavioral skills training as a parent training method is effective for increasing appropriate parent behavior, but results are mixed for its immediate impact on child problem behavior.

Full textAbstract:
Teacher education programs focus on preparing teachers to instruct students, but they usually do not focus on preparing teachers to manage students’ behavior, which may prevent teachers from providing effective instruction. This project study evaluated a classroom behavior management model, CHAMPS, designed to help teachers manage student behavior so they can focus their time and energy on instruction and student success. Positive Behavior Systems (PBS), used in the field of behavioral management, served as the theoretical foundation for this study. The evaluation design followed Stufflebeam’s (2003) Context, Input, Process, and Product (CIPP) by employing the outcome-based approach, which evaluated the extent to which a program is meeting predetermined outcomes and objectives. The open-ended research questions explored whether the classroom management system accomplished its goal of guiding teachers in making effective decisions about managing behavior. Data were collected from a researcher-created qualitative questionnaire and phone interviews from a purposeful sample of 7 elementary school teachers who attended all 5 CHAMPS training sessions and who implemented CHAMPS strategies in their classrooms. Qualitative data were open coded and reoccurring themes including connections, support, structure, teach, and model were identified and interpreted for meaning. The findings indicated that CHAMPS, as a model for classroom management, successfully guided these participants in making effective decisions about managing students’ behavior. This study may contribute to a greater understanding of effective classroom management strategies and awareness of classroom behavior management issues for teachers, administrators, and district stakeholders.

Multinational corporate leaders acknowledge that a lack of business direction by senior leadership results in a 68% failure in the execution of organizational strategies. The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore what best practice solutions automotive manufacturing senior leaders created to help front-line managers execute organizational strategies. The population consisted of 20 automotive manufacturing senior leaders located in Michigan with significant years of automotive experience and at least a year of experience employed as an automotive manufacturing senior leader. Vroom's expectancy theory served as the conceptual framework for the study describing the enhancement of employee performance related to their skills, knowledge, abilities, and workplace expectations. Data were collected through semistructured interviews using open-ended questions. Methodological triangulation and a modified van Kaam data analysis approach were used with field notes and interview data to guide the coding process, theoretical saturation, and trustworthiness of interpretations. Five themes emerged that senior leaders identified important for creating best practice solutions: benchmarking, training, communication strategies, organizational change, and integrity. These findings may influence positive social change by offering management strategies, objectives, and actions that help to promote the development of employees and collaboration between individuals, government institutions, local businesses, and communities.

Thesis (MBA)--Stellenbosch University, 2005.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: In today's fast and highly competitive business environment, every manager is placed
under increasing pressure. Managers are being confronted on a daily basis with
situations where their management skills are tested to the utmost and critical
decisions need to be made. These decisions are not always to everybody else's
approval. In order to conquer these trying situations, it is necessary for every
manager to equip himself by strategically planning how he is going to handle these
situations.
This study aims to present these critical managerial areas in a practical functioning
model. From this model, certain levels indicating the different aspects having an
influence on managerial performance, as well as their build-up, are discussed. In the
various levels of the model, the possible tools enabling the manager to prepare
himself, is presented through questionnaires, processes and models of self examination.
Hereby every manager can preventatively plan and prepare himself to
avoid personal stress and underperformance. The processes will support optimal
managerial performance. The awareness of the different areas, as well as the use
and application of the models, will enable every manager to identify areas of
weakness in his personal performance. The importance of every area, as well as
possible aspects to be kept in mind, is discussed in this study.
As one can1 truly separate work and personal life, the tools proposed in this study
will also greatly benefit personal development in every facet of life.<br>AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: In die hedendaagse snelveranderende en hoogs kompeterende bestuursomgewing
word al hoe meer eise aan bestuurders gestel. Hulle word daagliks gekonfronteer
met verskeie toetse en situasies, waartydens die mondering van bestuurders tot die
uiterste getoets word en moeilike besluite geneem moet word. Hierdie besluite dra
dan ook nie altyd almal se goedkeuring nie. Ten einde hierdie eise baas te raak, is dit
nodig dat bestuurders hulleself moet toerus deur strategies hiervoor voor te berei.
Hierdie studie het dus die doelwit om hierdie toerustingsareas in 'n praktiese
funksionele model saam te stel. Vanuit hierdie model word die verskillende vlakke
van toerusting, sowel as die opeenvolging daarvan bespreek. In die verskillende
vlakke van die model word die moontlike toerusting wat elke bestuurder self kan volg

Educational Psychology<br>Ph.D.<br>The American Psychological Association (APA) conducted the online 2005-2006 Teacher Needs Survey wherein 52% of first year teachers, 28% of teachers with two to five years of experience, and 26% of teachers with 6 to 10 years experience ranked classroom management as their greatest need. Difficulty managing student behaviors leads to higher stress and burnout for teachers (Smith & Smith, 2006) as well as less instructional time, lower grades, and poorer performance on standardized tests for students (Shinn, Ramsey, Walker, Stieber, & O'Neill, 1987). When teachers are charged with managing their own classrooms in the field, they are often inadequately prepared (Bergeny & Martens, 2006) and professional development workshops and inservices on classroom management are often ineffective (Allen & Forman, 1984, Fixsen, Naoom, Blasé, Friedman, & Wallace, 2005). The focus of the current study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a checklist of evidence-based classroom management strategies both by itself and coupled with feedback and an action plan. Effectiveness was measured by the percentage of strategies from the checklist that were implemented by the teacher as well as the percentage of disruptive behavior by students in the classroom. The checklist consisted of 17 evidence-based classroom management strategies that were divided into three areas: Beginning of Class; During Instruction; and Responding to Student Behavior. The study consisted of four conditions: Baseline; Checklist; Checklist, Feedback, and Action Plan; and Maintenance. During the Checklist condition, the investigator and teacher read through evidence-based classroom management strategies on the checklist and reviewed examples and non-examples of the strategies. During the Checklist, Feedback, and Action Plan condition, the investigator and teacher reviewed the graphed data on the teacher's use of the strategies during Baseline and Checklist conditions. After reviewing the data, the teacher and investigator identified a maximum of three strategies from the checklist to implement and an action plan for how to implement those strategies was created. Then, after each observation, a checklist scored by the investigator was given to the teacher. During Maintenance, the teacher no longer received a scored checklist following the observations. Three elementary, self-contained classroom teachers of students with emotional and behavioral disorders participated in the study. During Baseline, the teachers used an average of 20% to 30% of the evidence-based classroom management strategies and the percentages of disruptive behavior ranged from an average of 60% to 90%. During the Checklist condition, the level of the data immediately increased for percentage of strategies used and the level of the data for disruptive behavior decreased, for two of the teachers. The changes in level for both percentage of strategies used and percentage of disruptive behavior, however, did not remain. One teacher returned to baseline levels for both percentage of strategies used and percentage of disruptive behavior. The other teacher showed a slight increase from baseline levels for percentage of strategies used, but the percentage of disruptive behavior returned to baseline levels. For the third teacher, no significant change in level was observed for percentage of strategies used and percentage of disruptive behavior. All three teachers, however, demonstrated increased use of the strategies and decreased percentages of disruptive behavior, when the checklist was coupled with feedback and an action plan. From Baseline to the Checklist, Feedback, Action Plan condition, the average percentages of strategies used were: Teacher A, 24% to 93%; Teacher B, 23% to 93%; and Teacher C, 33% to 88%. During Maintenance, Teacher A used an average of 92% of evidence-based classroom management strategies and Teachers B and C used 94% of evidence-based classroom management strategies. From Baseline to Maintenance, the average percentages of disruptive behavior were: Teacher A, 76% to 17%; Teacher B, 91% to 13%; and Teacher C, 64% to 12%. All three teachers found the intervention to be acceptable. Specifically, the teachers reported that: this intervention would be beneficial and appropriate for a variety of students; they were likely to use this intervention in the future; they liked the procedures used; and they were more likely to stay in their current teaching position after using this intervention.<br>Temple University--Theses

Full textAbstract:
Mindfulness-based interventions can improve teachers' capacities for attention and emotion regulation, as well as their prosocial dispositions like compassion and forgiveness. The purpose of this set of research studies (including three case studies and a larger non-randomized treatment -- control group quasi-experimental study) was to examine whether or not capacities like these, learned through participation in a mindfulness training (MT) program for teachers, become embodied and show through as changes in teachers' mindful behavior in the classroom -- specifically, their ability to be calm, clear-minded and kind-hearted in their speech and behavior with students in the classroom. These studies used first-person, teacher reports and third-person, observer measures to assess potential MT-program-related impacts on changes in teachers' classroom speech and behavior over time. Results from survey and interview data showed change in teachers' perceptions of their mindful classroom behavior. The case studies showed evidence of change in teachers' calm, clear and kind classroom speech and behavior as rated by observers. Results in the larger study again showed change in treatment teachers' perception of their mindfulness in the classroom over time compared to controls, but no evidence was found for observed changes in speech or behavior in the classroom. Methodological, developmental and intervention-related interpretations and implications of the findings are presented and directions for future research are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this feasibility study is to provide evidence of how integrating reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills into eighth-grade social studies instruction facilitates student understanding of content material and ability to write about social studies content. In thiswithin-subjects paired-samples research study, 197 eighth-grade participants received instruction in a social studies content area and in argumentative writing. Data from a criterion-referenced social studies pre and posttest and data from pre and post instruction writing samples were analyzed to evaluate the influence of the integration of literacy tasks in middle school social studies classrooms oncontent area knowledge acquisition and argumentative writing quality. Analysis of the Criterion Referenced Test (CRT) data usingregression analysis showed that there was a statistically significant increase in the students’ performance on the CRT after the students engaged in literacy tasks emphasizing reading, writing, speaking, and listening during the social studies instruction. Analysis of the writing rubric scores using Cohen’s d showed statistically significant differences exist between the students pre and post essay scores. These results suggest that having students engage in reading, writing, speaking, and listening tasks and in explicit writing instruction and production during a social studies unit facilitates their content knowledge acquisition, improves the overall quality of students’ argumentative writing, and more specifically, improves the organization and development of that writing. It is recommended that further research be conducted to determine the best way to group students for collaboration when incorporating reading, writing, speaking, and listening tasks within content area instruction.

Full textAbstract:
Behavioural, emotional and social difficulties (BESD) can develop early in a child's life, and the earlier the onset the poorer the prognosis. Classroom-basedin terventions have been effective in reducing and preventing these problems, but many do not possess a robust evidence-base. One series of programmes that has a tradition of scientific evaluation is the Incredible Years (IY) series; the IY Teacher Classroom Management (TCM) programme is the focus of this research. This thesis contributes to current research in the following ways: Firstly, by developing and refining a new classroom observation measure (Chapter 4), the Teacher-Pupil Observation Tool (T-POT); a relatively flexible measure of teacher, classroom and individual pupil behaviours and interactions. Secondly, study two (Chapter 5) utilised the T-POT - in combination with questionnaire measures - in order to evaluate the IY TCM programme. The contribution of this study was that the IY TCM programme had never been previously evaluated independent of other IY programmes. The TCM programme successfully increased positive teacher behaviour and decreased negative teacher behaviour to the classroom, and to children with behaviour problems in particular. Pupil compliance significantly increased as a result of TCM training, while non-compliance, deviance (especially in children rated as problematic by the teacher), negative behaviours aimed at the teacher, and off-task behaviour showed significant reductions in intervention classrooms, post-classroom management training. Thirdly, the final study (Chapter 6) contributed to current research by investigating mechanisms of intervention-related change. This study examined barriers to positive outcome and investigated factors that facilitated implementation of TCM skills and principles. Teacher experience, job-share status, and teacher stress level, predicted multiple variables. Broad implications of the findings are discussed in the final chapter (Chapter 7) and suggestions relevant to future research are made.

Full textAbstract:
Naturalistic behavioral interventions increase the acquisition, generalization, and maintenance of child social communication skills among children with developmental delays (DD). Teaching Assistants (TAs) are ideal interventionists for delivering social communication interventions because of the significant amount of time they spend working directly with children with DD in the preschool classroom. However, professional development for TAs is often inadequate and there has been a limited amount of research in this area. In addition, TAs are often working with more than one child at a time with varying skill levels, but no research has been conducted on the use of strategies with more than one child at a time. The current single-case research study addresses gaps in the literature by answering the following questions: (1) Is there a functional relation between coaching TAs to use EMT and increases in TA’s fidelity of implementation of EMT with a child dyad?; (2) Is there a functional relation between TA’s use of EMT and increases in child social communication skills?; and (3) Are TAs able to generalize the use of EMT across students with varying social communication skills and goals? Results suggest coaching TAs contributes to increases in fidelity of implementation of EMT strategies and subsequent increases in child social communication skills. TAs were able to generalize the use of EMT across students.

Full textAbstract:
When the classroom environment is safe, reductions in aggression and an increase in compliance with rules can be expected. Teacher self-efficacy is therefore likely to play a significant role in teachers’ participation in the change process of implementing strategies that assist with classroom management styles. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between teacher self-efficacy and classroom management styles (reward strategies, preventive strategies, initial corrective strategies, and later corrective strategies). Teachers’ characteristics such as age, gender, education level, years of teaching experience, grade level taught, and class size were also explored to provide insight on teacher training and professional development programs. Survey data were collected from 43 teachers in urban and rural area of West Tennessee. The Spearman correlation analysis indicated a correlation between teacher self-efficacy and the four classroom management styles while the linear regression model showed that teacher characteristics do not predict teacher’s self-efficacy. This study revealed that the practice of preventive strategies by teachers had a greater impact on teacher self-efficacy scores compared to other classroom management strategies (reward strategies, initial corrective strategies, and later corrective strategies). Findings reinforce that school climate plays a significant role in the professional development of teachers and their use of specific classroom management practices. Addressing the gap between teachers’ efficacy beliefs and classroom decisions could help school professionals to develop interventions to minimize this gap, which could, in turn, promote positive school outcomes, such as students’ behavior adjustment and academic achievement.

Full textAbstract:
In the post-Napster era of disruptive innovations, independent artists are managing more nonmusical roles and more revenue streams to remain competitive and earn a living wage from their music. The purpose of this single case study was to explore the financial management strategies that one independent rock band needed to understand music royalties. Disruptive innovation was the conceptual framework used to guide the study. The sample was comprised of 4 members of an independent rock band based in Northeast Ohio. The selected band met the criteria for the study as members who earned revenue from copyrighted works, merchandise, and CD sales. The multiple data sources included face-to-face interviews with band members; public document review of ReverbNation standard policy, Fox licensing agreement, and the IRS W-9 Form; and direct observations of band members during a rehearsal and live performance. Member checking was used to strengthen the credibility and trustworthiness of interpretations. Four themes emerged from the data analysis: organizational governance of band member responsibilities, financial management education and skills, developing multiple revenue streams from royalties, and financial strategies to manage all revenue streams. Social change from this study might include college-level financial training certificate programs designed for artists given their time constraints, mobility, and need to attract financing sources other than major labels.

The aim of this study was to investigate current classroom management practices, disciplinary strategies and educator duties and demands, in the Sedibeng West District (D8) of the Gauteng Province, with the aim of recommending guidelines to assist educators to cope better with classroom management duties as well as maintaining discipline at the same time. The overall aims of the study were achieved through the following objectives: Reviewing existing literature to establish the nature of current classroom management duties. Investigating the influence of increased classroom duties on classroom management. Reviewing existing literature to establish the nature of current disciplinary measures. Investigating the influence of increased classroom duties on discipline. Making recommendations to assist educators to cope better with classroom management duties as well as maintaining discipline at the same time. The abovementioned aims were reached by completing a literature study and an empirical investigation. The study further investigated the perceptions of educators in the foundation phase (grade 2 educators and the respective Heads of Department) as well as principals regarding certain aspects of classroom management and discipline. This was investigated by means of structured questionnaires. Findings from the research indicated that refusal to obey requests and commands, noisiness, showing off, teasing, irritating or disturbing other learners, leaving their seats without permission, talking out of turn, calling out when the educator is speaking, making improper noises, not paying attention, storming out of the classroom, and knife attacks, are current types of behaviour that disturb lessons of educators (Landsberg et al., 2005:455). This makes it impossible for educators to teach properly. Learners who engage in such behaviour get no benefit from the teaching and learning situation. The attention of all the other learners is distracted and the atmosphere in the class is negatively affected. According to Landsberg et al., (2005:456) discipline is a huge part of classroom management and it is reactive in nature. Educators react to learner behaviour, which disrupts the good order of the classroom. Classroom management is proactive, it is preventative and self-control on the part of the learners is its goal. Further findings from the research indicated that educators struggle from teacher-burnout. It has also become apparent that educators are unsure of corrective disciplinary measures. Current disciplinary measures do not yield successful results. In fact, educators feel stressed and de-motivated. As a result of so many reasons for misbehaviour in classrooms, educators feel that they do not have the ability to manage the classroom. This study therefore provided recommendations to assist educators to cope better with classroom management duties in such a way that it will contribute to effective discipline in the foundation phase.<br>Thesis (M.Ed.)--North-West University, Vaal Triangle Campus, 2011

Full textAbstract:
Submitted to the faculty of education in fulfilment of the degree of Master of Education in the Department of Didactics at the University of Zululand, 1997.<br>Literature and research studies have widely identified and documented the need for teachers to acquire classroom management skills and strategies in order to handle classroom behaviour problems. Teachers perceive classroom management as one of the major problems of concern in their teaching. The lack of South African literature and research on classroom management to assist teachers renders the problem of dealing with classroom behaviour problems more serious.
This research investigation rests on the premise that teachers experience classroom behaviour problems which they have difficulty in managing. Teacher education institutions fail to cover the subject and subsequently teachers lack adequate skills, knowledge and taming in classroom management. This affects the teaching-learning process and places a challenge on the teachers to establish an effective teaching and learning environment.
The study revolves around the following research problem: How do secondary school teachers manage classroom behaviour problems? In order to place this study in its proper perspective relevant literature on classroom management was analysed. The review of literature provided a focus on principles of managing classroom behaviour problems as the framework on which this study is based.
The study adopted the qualitative approach. Classroom behaviour problems are readily observable under their natural settings and how teachers handle classroom behaviour problems rests on the circumstances from which they emanate. Observations and interviews were conducted in two secondary schools which are situated at KwaDlangezwa and eSikhawini in KwaZulu-Natal to observe how teachers handled classroom behaviour problems as they naturally occured and how they perceive their management of classroom behaviours.
The findings of the study revealed that there were classroom behaviour problems that were common to most teachers and there were those classroom behaviour problems that were unique to individual teachers. The findings also revealed that most teachers were inadequately, if not at all, trained in handling classroom behaviour problems. This eventually made them to rely more on their intuition than on strategies and techniques that may have been identified as being helpful in minimising classroom disruptions. The teachers were aware of their inadequacies but lacked proper guidance.
The researcher concluded the study by making recommendations such as introducing classroom management in teacher education curricular, inservice training for teachers, further research on managing classroom behaviour problems in the South African context, workshops to be organised for teachers by experts, and the department of education to formulate a working document that will form a framework on how teachers can deal with classroom management problems. Lastly, it is highly recommended that teachers approach their duties professionally and respectfully so as to eliminate some if not all classroom behaviour problems.

The study also concentrates on how action research can enhance the educator’s teaching practices.
The objective was to prevent learners from misbehaving by implementing EI as a teaching strategy in the classroom on the basis of various definitions and models of EI. This research project also explored the coordinated and integrated management of positive learner behaviour, overall school development and the management of a culture of positive behaviour.
The empirical study concludes that there is a correlation between EI teaching methods and learners’ behaviour. In view of the fact that the use of EI in the classroom can prevent the inappropriate behaviour of learners it can therefore be regarded as preventative discipline.<br>Psychology<br>M.A. (Sielkunde)

This research uses questionnaire and a small scale interview to explore experienced kindergarten teachers’ views on classroom management, including what rules and procedures they set in classrooms, the strategies they use to support children in learning these rules and procedures, and how effective these strategies were. A self-designed questionnaire were distributed to 223 teachers who worked in Public and Private kindergartens in Hsinchu and Taichung that were accredited as Practicum Kindergarten with National Hsinchu University of Education. Valid responses were 168 (about 75%), excluding void answers and teachers who has less than three years teaching experiences. Six teachers were interviewed after they completed the questionnaire.
Research findings were as follows:
1. Before semester begins, almost all teachers emphasized a “ready environment” is necessary for young children, both new and old, to learn classroom rules and procedures.
2. The most frequently applied classroom procedures are “going to toilet” “washing hands” to improve children’s personal hygiene; “morning chores” “meals” “using teaching materials” to assist children’s self-care, responsibility, and respecting self and others rights.
3. The main classroom rules and essential classroom rules are mostly applied according to characteristics of classroom activities.
4. Teachers would use different strategies, including “People”, “Event” and “Object” strategies, to support children following classroom rules and procedures in different time slot to promote learning.
5. To be effective, “People” strategies should be built on shared-views, explicit goals, exact execution, keep track of children’s progress, and gentle but firm attitude.
6. To be effective, “Event” and “Object” strategies need to be close to children’s learning characteristics and experiences, to provide meaningful clues and manipulations.
7. Teachers tend to use “People” strategies more than “Event” and “Object” strategies. However, they also rate ‘People’ strategies less effective than “Event” and “Object” strategies.
