Perceived Usefulness of Three Mentoring Strategies for Beginning Physical Education Teachers by Roberta E. Faust Pdf

Abstract: Research supports the use of mentoring programs and induction assistance for retaining quality teachers and easing beginning teachers' transition into their professional roles. Observation has been documented in the research literature as a strategy for mentoring yet there are few physical education studies that have use other mentoring strategies for assisting beginning physical educators during their induction years. This qualitative study explored the perceptions of four beginning physical educators regarding the usefulness of three mentoring strategies (observation, telephone mentoring and telementoring). Other supporting research questions related to the teachers' concerns and resources utilized. Participants taught in a high school and middle schools located in urban, suburban and rural areas of the Midwest. Data were collected over six weeks during spring 2000 through formal and informal interviews, observations with field notes, audiotaped telephone mentoring sessions, telementoring emails saved to discs, and documents such as lesson plans and handouts and teaching artifacts. Collected data from the case studies were analyzed using constant comparison among the various data sources. A cross case/site analysis was conducted to explore emerging themes as well as similarities and differences across the cases. One of the key findings was that concerns of these participants were similar to other beginning teachers. Secondly, adequate resources were available to support and assist the participants in addressing their concerns. Third, although a wealth of resources was provided by the researcher few were utilized. Finally, each of the three mentoring strategies was useful to the beginning physical education teachers in this study and they found the combination of the three mentoring strategies to be the most useful.

Teacher Socialization in Physical Education by K. Andrew R. Richards,Karen Lux Gaudreault Pdf

Socialization is a complex process which has a profound effect on how we experience teaching and learning. The study of teachers’ lives and careers through the lens of occupational socialization theory has a rich history in physical education. However, as the social and political climates surrounding education have changed, so have the experiences of teachers. This book pushes beyond traditional perspectives to explore alternative and innovative approaches to socialization. Written by a team of leading international physical education scholars, this is the first edited collection of scholarship on teacher socialization to be published in more than two decades. Divided into five parts, the book provides a review of current knowledge on teacher socialization in school settings, as well as suggestions for different approaches to understanding teacher socialization and recommendations for future directions for studying teachers’ lives and careers. A testament to what is known and what still needs to be learned about the lived experiences of physical educators, Teacher Socialization in Physical Education: New Perspectives provides valuable insights for all physical education students, teachers, and instructors.

Supervising Student Teachers by Alexander Cuenca Pdf

The student teaching experience is often considered one of the most influential aspects of teacher preparation. Key in the success of student teaching is the university supervisor. During the student teaching experience, the university supervisor is mainly responsible for helping pre-service teachers relate university coursework with the situated experiences in schools. However, much like the various other spaces and places in teacher education, facilitating teacher learning is an incredibly complex endeavor. This edited volume addresses the complexities of supervising student teachers from three distinct vantage points. First, salient issues regarding the supervision of student teachers such as the preparation of novice supervisors, negotiating power in the student teaching triad, and the low status of clinical teacher education are examined. Second, different pedagogical frameworks for the work of supervision are provided such as care theory, teacher education for democracy, and social justice. Finally, future directions for field-based teacher education are discussed, such as a call to reconsider where supervision takes place, the necessity to develop a pedagogy of supervision, 21st century trends facing clinical teacher education, and the value added by university supervisors to teacher development. Each of these chapters engage the supervision of student teachers through a mix of research, theory, and personal stories from the field. As such, this edited volume is designed for new supervisors, veteran supervisors, and supervision scholars.
