Adverse Childhood Experiences and Their Effects in the Classroom: Are Our Educators Prepared
(Centenary University, 2021-05) Gallagher-Butler, Coleen
There are many challenges in the world of education. One challenge to teaching and learning are Adverse Childhood Experiences. The trauma resulting from these experiences negatively affects the developing brain of students. This study examined teacher preparation for working with this vulnerable population of students. It also examined whether there was a relationship between teachers’ sense of efficacy and several factors including: teaching assignment, grade level assignment, years in the profession, the amount of time spent with each group of students each day, and the number of students an educator works with each day. The survey instrument used was the Teachers Sense of Efficacy Scales. The Teachers Sense of Efficacy Scale was utilized to measure educators’ perception of effectiveness when worked with students who had experienced trauma. The survey instrument quantitatively measured their sense of effectiveness in three areas: student engagement, instructional strategies, and classroom management. The survey instrument was completed by 112 respondents, all of whom were Pre- K– Grade 12 educators in a suburban New Jersey school district. The study was quantitative and employed a correlational research design. Data collected was analyzed using a Pearson Correlation test through SPSS 26.0 to determine potential relationships between a sense of efficacy and the aforementioned variables. Statistical significance was determined in all factors with varying degrees. This study adds to the body of knowledge by providing districts and schools with information as to what factors affect educators’ sense of efficacy and how they feel about the preparation they have received in order to meet the challenge of educating students who have been affected by Adverse Childhood Experiences.
Blended Learning: Moving Beyond the Thread, Quality of Blended Learning and Instructor Experiences
(2019) Kastner, Jenine
The purpose of this study was to determine the benefits, barriers, and professional development practices utilized in higher education settings to implement blended learning classes. Higher education is changing in their delivery models and use of on-line learning to adjust to the present demands. Blended learning (a combination of face-to-face and online learning) has an increasing presence in the learning landscape in higher education. With this approach, there is a need to research approaches, professional development, and potential barriers to blended learning. This quantitative national research explored the potential barriers, benefits, and professional development practices of blended learning as an approach to the teaching and learning in higher education. Participants volunteered to respond anonymously to survey questions about blended learning practices in higher education. The survey was an adaptation of “The Blended Learning Best Practice Survey” (eLearning Guild, 2003) and from Going the Distance: Online Education in the United States (2011) from Babson Research Group. Additional insight and understanding of current and future trends regarding how to surpass these barriers to enhance the overall practices were included in this study. Current findings also identified an inherent need to improve and enhance professional development practices in higher education institutions offering blended learning courses. The researcher recommended that higher education institutions utilize this blended learning research to develop guidelines that are more comprehensive, training, and collaboration to improve these practices and to move beyond the thread.
