Educational Theories

Educational theories are central for teacher education. Despite their theoretical relevance, students’ and lecturers’ understandings of educational theories and their theory-related attitudes and beliefs thereof are hardly understood. To elucidate these constructs and to test their relevance, we conducted a mixed methods study with 32 students and 12 lecturers. We found that both groups perceived educational theories as rather abstract concepts. Students reported rather negative attitudes and naïve beliefs. For both populations, we found that attitudes and beliefs were strongly tied to motivational and affective aspects when dealing with educational theories, which stresses their relevance for teaching and teacher education.

This mixed methods study examined non-Indigenous teacher candidates’ disposition towards a mandatory Aboriginal Education course in teacher education from teacher candidates’ and course instructors’ perspectives. Results from a pre- and post Likert Scale survey of two sections of an Aboriginal Education course at a small Canadian University indicated that teacher candidates felt more knowledgeable by the end of the course, and maintained a fairly strong interest in, and positive attitude towards, the course. Results from course instructors provided additional and, at times, contradictory information, describing the course as limited and, at best, an introduction to the issues and perspectives within Indigenous education. The results suggest the need for mandatory Indigenous Education courses and for faculties of education and school boards to provide further learning opportunities with Indigenous education content and resources.

Insight Into

Artikkelen presenterer resultater fra en studie om praksislæreres doxa. Gjennom en Mixed Methods-studie gis innsikt i hvordan barnehagelærere (praksislærere) snakker om hvordan, når og hvorfor de observerer. Analyse av praksislæreres italesettelser gir innsikt i diskursive vilkår praksisstudier gir for studenters læring om observasjon. Studien indikerer et brudd mellom barnehagelærerutdanningens mål og undervisning og praksislærernes bruk av og begrunnelser for observasjon. Studien viser at barnehagelærere oppgir samspill barn -barn og språk som hovedfokus i observasjonsarbeidet, mens barns medvirkning ikke oppgis som fokus. Videre viser studien at praksislærere i svært liten grad bruker systematisk og skriftlig observasjon i det daglige arbeidet. De oppgir mangel på tid som årsak til dette. Forfatterne reiser spørsmål om hvorvidt dette også kan skyldes mangel på nyere metodekunnskap.This article presents results from a study of in-service teachers’ doxa; how they talk about use and reasons for observation in kindergarten. The study provides new knowledge about the lack of coherence between kindergarten teacher education and in-service education. Through a Mixed Methods study we gain insight into how in-service teachers explain how, when and why they observe. Analysis provides insight into the discursive conditions for student learning about observation. The study reveals two main topics for in-service teachers’ observations: interplay between children and language development; however they do not include children’s right to influence. Moreover, the study shows that systematic written observations in everyday work seldom is done due to lack of time. The authors raise the question if another reason could be lack of new methodological knowledge.

Quantitative Results

Purpose The purpose of this study was to evaluate the emotional tone and verbal behavior of social media users who self-identified as having tinnitus and/or hyperacusis that caused self-described negative consequences on daily life or health. Research Design and Method An explanatory mixed-methods design was utilized. Two hundred “initial” and 200 “reply” Facebook posts were collected from members of a tinnitus group and a hyperacusis group. Data were analyzed via the LIWC 2015 software program and compared to typical bloggers. As this was an explanatory mixed-methods study, we used qualitative thematic analyses to explain, interpret, and illustrate the quantitative results. Results Overall, quantitative results indicated lower overall emotional tone for all categories (tinnitus and hyperacusis, initial and reply), which was mostly influenced by higher negative emotion. Higher levels of authenticity or truth were found in the hyperacusis sample but not in the tinnitus sample. Lower levels of clout (social standing) were indicated in all groups, and a lower level of analytical thinking style (concepts and complex categories rather than narratives) was found in the hyperacusis sample. Additional analysis of the language indicated higher levels of sadness and anxiety in all groups and lower levels of anger, particularly for initial replies. These data support prior findings indicating higher levels of anxiety and depression in this patient population based on the actual words in blog posts and not from self-report questionnaires. Qualitative results identified 3 major themes from both the tinnitus and hyperacusis texts: suffering, negative emotional tone, and coping strategies. Conclusions Results from this study suggest support for the predominant clinical view that patients with tinnitus and hyperacusis have higher levels of anxiety and depression than the general population. The extent of the suffering described and patterns of coping strategies suggest clinical practice patterns and the need for research in implementing improved practice plans.
