  1. “What Teaching Strategies are Teacher Education Faculty Using?” Debra J. Stork EDCI 5870

  2. Introduction • “Do as I say, not as I do” • Professors in higher education do not use innovative, effective teaching techniques and rely on traditional didactic learning. • It is imperative that professors of teacher candidates model the innovative strategies, such as inquiry, that the teacher candidates will be expected to use in their teaching.

  3. PurposeWhat Teaching Strategies are Teacher Education Faculty Using? • To provide some background data regarding what teaching strategies are being used; before a comprehensive study regarding the reasons professors do not implement innovative strategies and techniques such as inquiry into their own courses is launched.

  4. MethodologyMethods • Mixed Methods • Quantitative and Qualitative • Theoretical Framework • Constructivism Perspective

  5. Methods -Participants • 3 professors of teacher education • Small midwestern university (UD) • Women ages 50-65 • Full time profs with at least 2 years experience in higher education • Voluntary

  6. Methods -Instruments • initial survey • observational checklist

  7. Methods – Design • One group of three participants • Initial survey • 4 observations noting the teaching strategies • Frequency of each type of teaching strategy was calculated. This was compared with the initial Survey of Teaching Strategies

  8. ConClusion • Professors overrated their use of student-centered innovative strategies or non-traditional teaching strategies • Professors were using mostly traditional teaching strategies • Further study needed to determine the cause or motivation behind teaching traditionally when so many innovative techniques are available.
