Evaluation of Remote Versus Face-to-Face Observation of Teacher Candidates in an Alternative Certification Program

The University of Kentucky provides an alternative certification program to prepare teacher candidates in moderate and severe disabilities. Observations occur every semester that candidates are in the 2-year program and must be conducted all across Kentucky, often many miles away from campus. University researchers placed cameras in the classrooms of teacher candidates and measured reliability of teacher observations conducted face-to-face and remotely. The researchers also surveyed perceptions of the teacher candidates and university observers and analyzed the cost-effectiveness of the two observation methods. The results indicated that the observers achieved similar results on an observation form regardless of the observation method used. The remote observations were the most cost efficient of the two methods both monetarily and in the time commitment needed by the observers. The findings include the perceptions of the teacher candidates and university observers for benefits and challenges of each observation method.

The objective of this research was to describe the types of triadicities of pragmatic contexts on impolite utterances in the Indonesian language in culture-specific perspective. The research data were the natural utterances in a culture-specific domain intrinsically containing triadicity of pragmatic contexts. The data were collected and presented through the observation methods, both through the engaged conversation technique and uninvolved conversation technique. The data gathering techniques being applied in the observation method were the recording and note-taking techniques. In addition to the conversation technique, an interview technique was applied both the face-to-face and indirect conversations. The data gathering stage was completed when the data was ready to be analyzed. Data analysis was carried out using the identity method, especially the extralingual identity method. This aligned with the contextual analysis in pragmatics in which contextual aspects must be identified. The results of the study showedthat there were 10 types of triadicities of pragmatic contexts on impolite utterances in the Indonesian language in culture-specific perspective. They were triadicities of pragmatic contexts in: (1) pretense, (2) association, (3) taboos, (4) taunting, (5) arrogance, (6) pleonasm, (7) puns, (8) insults, (9) teasing, (10) interjection. The findings of research bring the significant contribution to the development of pragmatics, particularly the culture-specific pragmatics AbstrakTujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mendeskripsikan tipe-tipe ketriaditisan konteks pragmatik dalam bahasa Indonesia dengan perspektif kultur spesifik. Data penelitian berupa tuturan-tuturan natural manusia dalam domain kultur spesifik yang secara implisit mengandung triadisitas konteks pragmatik tersebut. Data dikumpulkan dengan menerapkan metode simak, baik simak libat cakap maupun simak bebas libat cakap. Teknik pengumpulan data yang diterapkan adalah teknik catat dan teknik rekam. Selain teknik-teknik tersebut, diterapkan pula teknik wawancara, baik yang sifatnya semuka maupun tidak semuka. Tahap pengumpulan data dipandang selesai ketika data benar-benar telah siap untuk dianalisis. Selanjutnya, analisis data dilakukan dengan menerapkan metode padan, khususnya padan yang bersifat ekstralingual. Metode tersebut selaras dengan metode analisis kontekstual dalam pragmatik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat 10 jenis ketriaditisan konteks pragmatik dalam bahasa Indonesia dalam perspektif kultur spesifik. Kesepuluh jenis tersebut adalah ketriaditisan konteks pragmatik dalam tuturan yang mengandung makna: (1) kepura-puraan, (2) asosiasi, (3) tabu, (4) ejekan, (5) kesombongan, (6) pleonasme, (7) lelucon, (8) hinaan, (9) godaan, (10) interjeksi.

ABSTRAK Makalah ini merupakan hasil penelitian yang bertujuan mengimplementasikan psikoedukasi kesadaran fonologi di sekolah dasar. Psikoedukasi kesadaran fonologi merupakan pelatihan yang mengembangkan sensitivitas anak terhadap struktur bunyi. Psikoedukasi ini dilakukan sebagai upaya stimulasi dan optimalisasi terhadap potensi berbahasa yang dimiliki anak sesuai dengan tahap perkembangannya dan memberikan layanan, serta bimbingan yang dibutuhkan anak dalam melewati tahap-tahap periode sensitif yang dilaluinya dengan cara menggunakan berbagai aktivitas praakademik untuk mengembangkan kesadaran fonologi. Pendekatan yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah pendekatan kualitatif dengan menggunakan metode deskriptif. Teknik pengumpulan data dalam penelitian ini adalah dengan metode observasi dan wawancara dengan guru. Observasi dilakukan di dalam kelas untuk melihat kesadaran fonologi anak. Upaya guru dalam pengembangan kesadaran fonologi anak didapatkan melalui wawancara dan pengamatan secara langsung. Setelah dilakukan observasi dan wawancara, selanjutnya dilaksanakan psikoedukasi kesadaran fonologi kepada siswa dan guru. Pemilihan metode yang akan digunakan dalam psikoedukasi pada anak dapat disesuaikan dengan tingkat usia anak. Deteksi aliterasi dan deteksi fonem tunggal relatif mudah bagi anak, yaitu untuk mengenali bunyi silabel awal yang sama (pada purwakanti) dan bunyi silabel akhir yang sama (pada sajak) dari kata-kata yang disajikan. Adapun teknik psikoedukasi dapat melalui lagu anak yang bersajak ataupun melalui kegiatan berpantun. Metode dengan tingkat yang lebih sulit yang dapat digunakan seperti metode deteksi fonem tunggal; di sini tingkat kesulitannya sudah meningkat, karena anak harus mengenali unit bunyi yang lebih kecil daripada silebel. Apabila keterampilan tersebut telah dikuasai, lebih lanjut anak dapat diberi pelatihan dengan metode yang semakin tinggi tingkat kesulitannya seperti metode ketukan fonem.

ABSTRACT This paper is the result of a study aimed at implementing psychoeducation in phonological awareness in primary schools. Psychoeducation of phonological awareness is a training to develop children's sensitivity to the sound structure. This psychoeducation serves to stimulate and optimize the language potential of children according to the stage of development, to provide services and to provide guidance that children need to go through the sensitive stage in which they use various preschool activities to develop phonological awareness. The approach used in this study is a qualitative approach using descriptive methods. The data collection technique in this study is the observation method and interviews with the teacher. Observations were carried out in the classroom to see the phonological awareness of the child. Teacher's efforts in developing children's phonological awareness achieved through interviews and direct observation. After conducting observations and interviews, then psychoeducation phonological awareness was carried out to students and teachers. The selection of methods to be used in psychoeducation in children can be adjusted to the age level of the child. Alliteration detection and detection of single phonemes are relatively easy for children to recognize, namely the same initial syllable sound (in purwakanti) and the same final syllable sound (in poetry) of the words presented. The psychoeducation technique can consist of children's songs which are poetry, or dance activities. More difficult level methods can be used such as single-phonemic detection methods; here the level of difficulty has increased as the child has to recognize a sound unit that is smaller than the silebel. If these skills have been mastered, furthermore the child can be given training with methods that increase the level of difficulty such as the phoneme knock method.

Types Of Information

Objective: To compare the rates reported for provision of types of information conveyed by pharmacists among studies for which different methods of estimation were used and different dispensing situations were studied. Data Sources: Empiric studies conducted in the US, reported from 1982 through 1992, were selected from International Pharmaceutical Abstracts, MEDLINE, and noncomputerized sources. Study Selection: Empiric studies were selected for review if they reported the provision of at least three types of counseling information. Data Extraction: Four components of methods used for estimating pharmacist counseling behaviors were extracted and summarized in a table: (1) sample type and area, (2) sampling unit, (3) sample size, and (4) data collection method. In addition, situations that were investigated in each study were compiled. Data Synthesis: Twelve studies met our inclusion criteria. Patients were interviewed via telephone in four studies and were surveyed via mail in two studies. Pharmacists were interviewed via telephone in one study and surveyed via mail in two studies. For three studies, researchers visited pharmacy sites for data collection using the shopper method or observation method. Studies with similar methods and situations provided similar results. Conclusions: Data collected by using patient surveys, pharmacist surveys, and observation methods can provide useful estimations of pharmacist counseling behaviors if researchers measure counseling for specific, well-defined dispensing situations.

Effective interprofessional collaboration (IPC) contributes to superior patient outcomes, facilitates cost-efficient health care, and increases patient and practitioner satisfaction. However, there is concern that IPC may be difficult to implement in clinical settings that do not conform to formal team-based processes, such as mono-professional physiotherapy private practice facilities. The aim of this study was to describe the characteristics of private physiotherapy practitioners’ interprofessional interactions, including their experiences and perceptions regarding IPC. A custom developed cross-sectional online survey instrument was used to collect data from physiotherapists employed in private practice facilities in Queensland, Australia. In all, 49 (20% response rate) physiotherapists completed the survey. Only a small proportion (14%) indicated that their interprofessional interactions were a daily occurrence, and less than one-third of all respondents (31%) participated in formal, multi-professional face-to-face planned meetings. Most participants (76%) reported a moderate-to-high level of satisfaction regarding their interprofessional interactions. Despite low self-reported levels of interprofessional activity and other data indicating that IPC is necessary for holistic patient care, this study shows that physiotherapists were predominately satisfied when interacting with health practitioners from various professional backgrounds. Further research is required to inform the implementation of robust strategies that will support sustainable models of IPC in physiotherapy private practice.
