Special education teachers' perceptions of factors influencing their instructional practices.

The study examined the variables associated with the effective instructional practices of teachers of students with learning disabilities. Subjects were 146 female special education teachers, working in the special education classroom. Demographic information was gathered from all participants (e.g. years of experience, collaboration in school and job satisfaction). Participants responded to a 63-item questionnaire about effective instructional practices. The questionnaire consisted of four sub-scales (i.e. planning instruction, managing instruction, delivering instruction and evaluating instruction). In general, the effectiveness of instructional practices of teachers was moderate (mean=2.08, SD=0.55). No significant correlation was found between years of experience and effective instructional practice or between collaboration and effective instructional practices. A significant correlation was, however, found between job satisfaction and effective instructional practices.

Issues and trends in science education: the shortage of qualified science teachers.

Science teachers are leaving their profession. They feel overwhelmed by the expectations and scope of the job and isolated and unsupported in their classrooms. They also feel that expectations are unclear. The statistics on turnover among new teachers are startling. School administrators, science teacher leaders, and teacher education programs can do much more to promote better preparation of science teachers and to recruit new teachers into science teaching. In particular, the author focuses on relevant research and on recommendations for educational researchers and policymakers interested in improving and retaining qualified science teachers in classrooms.
