Preface

As a course certified by the School of Arts and Sciences for the Rutgers Core Curriculum, students who enroll in Education & Computers (05:300:350) must fulfill Goal y (Employ current technologies to access information, to conduct research, and to communicate findings) of the Core. This assignment will provide evidence about how well students have progressed toward that goal over the course of the semester.

 

Overview

The Internet in all its various forms has been transforming pre- and in-service development of professional educators. Digital tools will be an important aspect of professional development in the 21st Century. Educators will be expected to use digital technologies for numerous professional purposes, including individual and collaborative research. (Council of Chief State School Officers, 2013).

For this essay, you will select a website that has the potential to support your efforts to advance your expertise and professional development in education. This assignment has several major goals. These goals are consistent with various levels of Bloom’s Taxonomy:

●       Illustrate the structure of an educational website. (Applying)

●      Judge the quality of sites that can support your professional development and expertise. (Evaluating)

●      Explain how teachers can use the website as consumer and producers of research. (Analysis and Creating)

●      Describe how theory influences the tools and resources offered in the website. (Evaluating)

You should select a website for this assignment that you think would help advance your growth and expertise as a professional educator. Please select one site from the list located on the final page of this document. If you wish to choose a different website, please check with your instructor first and seek approval before continuing.

Essay Sections

Introduction

 

For this section, provide a brief introduction to this essay (one or two paragraphs). This introduction should identify the website that you have selected for the assignment. It should also provide an explanation about your reasons for its selection.

 

Section 1: Mission, Structure, and Organization of the Website

The structure and organization of a website affect the success of its mission(s). These elements influence its appeal, range of offerings, accessibility, efficiency, and ease of use.

This section must:

●      Discuss the primary mission(s) of the site (i.e., the ways in which it supports professional development and practice).

●      Provide a written overview or “road map” that describes the organization of the site, including its main components or sub-sections as well as a basic description of what tools or resources are included in it.

●      Include a graphic organizer (e.g., concept map) that provides a visual representation of the organization of the site.

●      Provide an in-depth exploration of one of the major components of the site in which the student explains how the resources in those sub-sections or components help to fulfill its mission(s).

 

Section 2: Quality of the Website

If educators are to use Internet resources effectively, they must develop the skills and

knowledge to make judgments about the quality of the sites they employ for professional

development (Cunningham, 2014; Forcier & Descy, 2008). Judging the quality of a website is a balancing act. Educators must consider numerous criteria when making such a judgment. Few websites are excellent with with respect to all criteria. A strong, effective website, however, will robustly address most of the following criteria. 

●      Authorship & Sponsorship

○      Who is the author of the site or materials found on the site?  What are his/her credentials or other evidence of expertise in the area?

○      Where does the author get his/her information?  Is the source reliable?  Provide support for your assertion.

○      Who sponsors the website? Are the sponsors reputable?

●      Accuracy of Information

○      Where does the author get his/her information?  Is the source reliable?  Provide support for your assertion.

○      Is s/he presenting opinion, argument, or evidence?  How do you know? (For example, a drug-maker may not be the best source of information about a particular medical condition and appropriate treatments.  Similarly, the NRA might not be a completely objective source of information on gun violence.)

●      Currency

○      Is the information current and up-to-date?  (This doesn’t necessarily mean that the publish date is within the last few years; rather, it means that the page/site provides information that is generally accepted to be the latest thinking or still useful today.)

○      Are links up-to-date?

●      Presentation & Technical Aspects

○      Are the tools/resources easy to access?

○      Is the design of the website appealing?

○      Is it well-organized and easy to navigate?

○      Does the site feature multimedia elements (e.g., video, graphics, audio, animations)? If so, do they enhance or extend the usefulness of the website? Are they distracting, superfluous, or unnecessary?

 

Section 3: Research

 

Research is the lifeblood of modern professions, and it is a core mission of most universities. Historically, teachers have been  consumers  of research. They used the knowledge research to improve their teaching. However, a trend in professional development is to encourage teachers to become  producers  of research by conducting pedagogical investigations, also known as action research (Conference on English Education, 2009; Henderson, Meier, Perry, & Stremmel, 2012; National Science Teachers Association, 2010).

As you explore and examine the website, notice the topics that it addresses. Prompted by the topics that you see addressed, propose a research investigation that an educator (e.g., teacher, administrator, counselor) could explore with students, and that would add to his/her knowledge in one of the areas covered by the website.

Classroom research usually addresses a practical problem or challenge within a classroom or school (e.g., aggressive behavior during recess, using student-generated graphic organizers to understand science concepts).

Follow these steps:

1. Identify a problem area and formulate  a question (e.g., Can student-generated graphic organizers enhance students’ understanding the life cycle of a butterfly?).

2. Identify the subjects. (i.e., the students involved in the investigation – grade, number, gender, etc.).

3.Identify the tool(s) for gathering data (e.g., interviews, work samples, surveys ).

4. The approach for interpreting data (Will the data be quantifiable? Will it be qualitative?)

5. Speculate about how that information can improve classroom practice.

(For additional information about classroom/action research, use the links located under the heading Additional Information near the end of this document.)

 

Section 4: Theory

 

If research is the lifeblood of a profession, theory is its spine. Theory helps to explain what is known; it allows for predictions about novel circumstances; and, it promotes new research efforts that benefit practitioners in the field (O’Donnell, Reeve, & Smith, 2009).

Examine the resources and tools, information and knowledge presented in your website. As you examine these items, consider which one of the major theoretical perspectives (i.e., constructivism, cognitivism, behaviorism) appears to have the greatest influence over the ideas, practices, and approaches offered by the site.

 

Once you have made that determination, do the following tasks:

●      Select two items from the website that you think are representative of the theory that that you think most influences the mission of the website.

●      For each of the two, identify and explain in detail how each item is consistent with the theoretical perspective that you identified.

●      Each of the examples must be supported with citations from course readings.

●      Citations must include quotes around cited text. Author name with page number found in parentheses.

 

Closing

For this section take two to three paragraphs to summarize the key points that you made about your website in this essay.

Assume the perspective of a Gestalt therapist, and show how you would proceed with Karen, a 27-year-old Asian American who is struggling with value conflicts pertaining to her religion, culture, and sex-role expectations by answering the following questions. Here is what she has related to you during the first session.

The Case of Karen: Throughout her life Karen has identified herself as a “good Catholic” who has not questioned much of her upbringing. She has never really seen herself as an independent woman; in many ways she feels like a child, one who is strongly seeking approval and directions from those whom she considers authorities. Karen tells you that in her culture she was taught to respect and honor her parents, teachers, priests, and other elders. Whenever she tries to assert her own will, if it differs from the expectations of any authority figure, she experiences guilt and self-doubt. She went to Catholic schools, including college, and she has followed the morals and teachings of her church very closely. She has not been married, nor has she even had a long-term relationship with a man. Karen has not had sexual intercourse, not because she has not wanted to but because she is afraid that she could not live with herself and her guilt. She feels very restricted by the codes she lives by, and in many ways she sees them as rigid and unrealistic. Yet she is frightened of breaking away from what she was taught, even though she is seriously questioning much of its validity and is aware that her views on morality are growing more and more divergent from those that she at one time accepted. Basically, Karen asks: “What if I am wrong? Who am I to decide what is moral and immoral? I’ve always been taught that morals are clear-cut and do not allow for individual conveniences. I find it difficult to accept many of the teachings of my church, but I’m not able to really leave behind those notions that I don’t accept. What if there is a hell, and I’ll be damned forever if I follow my own path? What if I discover that I ‘go wild’ and thus lose any measure of self-respect? Will I be able to live with my guilt if I don’t follow the morality I’ve been taught?”

Karen is also struggling with the impact of cultural restraints on her view of what it means to be a woman. Generally, she sees herself as being dependent, unassertive, fearful of those in authority, emotionally reserved, socially inhibited, and unable to make decisions about her life. Although she thinks that she would like to be more assertive and would like to feel freer to be herself around people, she is highly self-conscious and “hears voices in her head” that tell her how she should and should not be. She wishes she could be different in some important respects, but she wonders if she is strong enough to swim against what she has learned from her culture, her parents, and her church.

Assume that Karen is coming for a series of counseling sessions in a community clinic. You know the above information about her, and what she wants from you is help in sorting out what she really believes about living a moral life versus what she has been told is the moral way to be. She says that she would like to learn how to trust herself and, in essence, have the courage to know her convictions and live by them. At the same time, she feels unable to act on her values, for fear that she will be wrong. How would you proceed with her?

Answer the following questions related to the case study:

(1) What do you see as Karen’s basic conflict?

(2) In which stage of growth is Karen currently?

(3) Which two Contact Boundary Disturbances is Karen most likely experiencing?

(4) What are some Gestalt techniques that you might consider using with Karen? Why?

Improving Inquiry Skills Reflection

Improving Inquiry Skills Reflection
Instructions

After reading the assigned chapter for Module/Week 8, you will reflect on ways that you can self-evaluate and become a more effective teacher.

Reflection is an active process that requires critical analysis of one’s actions and decisions. The chapter outlines the following strategies for collecting data in this reflective process:

· Student evaluations and suggestions;

· Classroom observations;

· Lesson study;

· Self-recorded lessons;

· Guided reflection;

· Developing a reflective journal; and

· Creating a portfolio

In 2 paragraphs of at least 3 sentences each, reflect on how you would use two of the above strategies to evaluate your own effectiveness as a future teacher.

Teaching And Learning, Educational Experience, Goals For Students

Prior to beginning work on this assignment, read Chapters 2, 3 and 6 in Introduction to education: Choosing to teach, by Krogh. The readings in all three chapters will support your answers to the sections in this paper on views on teaching and learning, educational experience, goals for students and professional growth plans.

In your paper,

  • Examine how a teacher comes to develop his/her own personal teaching philosophy.
  • Compare which philosophy/philosophies align with your personal philosophy of teaching and learning.
  • Explain goals you will set for your students and how they will be achieved.
  • Develop a professional growth plan which will help you to remain innovative and effective throughout your career.

You have two options in completing this task: You pick

  1. Write a 2 to 3-page paper (not including the title page or reference page).
  2. Develop a 10- to 12-slide PowerPoint presentation (not including the title slide or reference slide).

If choosing options b or c, it is strongly encouraged that you provide audio support.  Consider using the resource Presentation Tips (Links to an external site.) located in the Ashford Writing Center.

Cite a minimum of one scholarly source in addition to your textbook, and consider using the resource Introduction to APA (Links to an external site.) in the Ashford Writing Center to support your formatting.  Be sure that your assignment includes the following elements:

  • Introductory Paragraph: Begin with an attention getter – a powerful statement, an intriguing question, or a general overview of how a teacher might form his/her philosophy. Consider developing your introduction using the Introductions and Conclusions (Links to an external site.) resource in the Ashford Writing Center.  Develop your thesis using the Thesis Generator (Links to an external site.)resource in the Ashford Writing Center. Your thesis will convey your personal teaching philosophy is and how it will positively impact student learning.
  • Body Paragraphs: (Fully develop four paragraphs containing five to seven sentences each)
  • Views on Teaching and Learning: Examine Chapter 2 of your text and determine which educational philosophy or philosophies are most aligned with your views of teaching and learning (i.e., progressivism, perennialism, essentialism, social reconstructionism, existentialism). Describe your views on teaching and learning and provide evidence from the text to support your assertions. In addition to the text, include a minimum of one additional scholarly source.
  • Educational Experience: Provide examples from your own educational experience that have influenced your teaching philosophy. How do these examples reflect or contradict your views of teaching and learning?
  • Goals for Students: Explain three to five goals you will set, what you will expect from your students, and how you will achieve these goals. Discuss what you want students to learn as a result of your teaching (i.e. problem solving, critical thinking, content knowledge, etc.). Examine Chapter 3 of your text and determine which learning theories (i.e., behaviorism, cognitivism, constructivism, multiple intelligences) will help you to meet the diverse needs of your students. Support your views with text-based evidence.
  • Professional Growth Plan: Explain the professional development goals you will set for yourself as a teacher and how you plan to remain a lifelong learner. How will you continue to learn new trends and strategies which help you to remain innovative in the classroom? Discuss ways in which lifelong learning relates to qualities of an effective teacher.
  • Conclusion Paragraph: Return to your most important points from your paper and how they have combined to form your Personal Teaching Philosophy. Emphasize your thesis statement again and bring your paper to a powerful close by leaving the reader with more to ponder or consider. Do not simply restate the Introductory Paragraph here. The conclusion should reframe your thoughts in a different way.

Running head: MY PERSONAL TEACHING PHILOSOPHY 1

When I think of my personal teaching philosophy, I think of passion and being

enraptured by the English language. I want my students to recognize the power that they can

have through their writing. I will feed their flame of creativity and encourage them to look within

themselves for inspiration. I know that teaching English is my calling, and I hope that my

students recognize that fire within myself. Through this paper, readers will recognize what life

will be like in my classroom and hopefully will take a piece of my passion into their daily lives.

According to the article “Enhancing Your Teaching Experience: Developing Your

Teaching Philosophy, Course Syllabus, and Teaching Portfolio” a “teaching philosophy refers to

an instructor’s views on the general purpose of teaching, how students learn, and how an

instructor may best intervene in the learning process” (Caughlin, p. 95). It is the backbone of a

teacher’s course planning. One form of philosophy that is aligned with my views of teaching is

progressivism. Teachers that utilize progressivism “believe that education should prepare

children for independent thinking in a democratic society” (Krogh, Fielstein, Phelps & Newman,

2015). I feel that it is important to shape a curriculum that includes the interests of the students. I

want them to feel a strong connection to their education and that their opinions matter. Our

textbook also mentions the philosophy of perennialism, which suggests uniformity in education

(Krogh et al., 2015). I do not agree with perennialism. Uniformity crushes creativity. The next

form of philosophy that our textbook mentions is essentialism, which is similar to perennialism

but includes “skills necessary for competing in a technologically advanced, global economy”

(Krogh et al., 2015). The thing from this philosophy that I will include is enforcing school and

classroom rules. It is important that students respect rules and authority. Social reconstructionism

is another form of philosophy, but its basic ideas of peace and tolerance aren’t exactly what I’ll

be focusing on in my classroom. The final form of philosophy that our textbook mentions is

 

 

3

existentialism, “which suggests that reality is what one makes of it” (Krogh et. al., 2015). I

intend to include existentialism in my teaching. I love the idea behind it that we “choose to see

meaning” in our lives or we don’t; it’s completely up to us (Krogh et al., 2015). I want my

students to recognize that they can make their own lives meaningful and something truly worth

living for.

I don’t have any experience with teaching, yet, but I look forward to the day I get to start.

In high school, I had several teachers that positively impacted me, and I intend to use many of

their techniques. My high school biology teacher always made class entertaining, cracking jokes

and scaring students who were falling asleep in class. I also want to use humor as he did to help

make my class memorable. In my community college, I had an English teacher who really

encouraged me to pursue my love of writing and English. I want to be that same positive

influence in my students’ lives and help them achieve whatever dreams they may have.

One goal I have for my students is to ensure that all work will be completed by the

deadline. I want them to realize that they will have deadlines to meet all of their lives. A second

goal that I have for my students is to have them wanting to read more books other than the pieces

assigned to them. I want them to recognize that they can escape into any of the imaginary worlds

in books and detach from reality, even if it is only for a short while. A third goal I have for my

students is to have them more comfortable with speaking in front of their classmates. They need

to begin to experience what it’s like speaking to the public. Once they conquer that fear, they

will be even more prepared for life in the adult world. What I want to learn most through

teaching is how my students’ minds work. I want to hear firsthand what they are retaining and

what is annoying or baffling to them; through this experience, I will learn what I need to change

in my lesson plans. I believe that behaviorism will be the most beneficial learning theory in my

classroom. Through behaviorism, we seek “explanations for how organisms learn by observing

behavior that can be measured” (Krogh et al., 2015). I will monitor my students and learn from

their habits and interactions and provide them with the best learning environment I can.

One professional development goal I have for myself is to complete my Master’s degree.

By obtaining this higher degree, I will be eligible for higher pay and potential advancement. A

second professional development goal I have for myself is to attend different conferences and

learn about new teaching techniques and how we can improve ourselves as educators. I plan to

remain a lifelong learner by always reading new books. By reading new books, I broaden my

educational horizons and also have new material to teach my students. I will continue to learn

new trends by vigilantly researching the newest educational materials and applying those things

in my classroom. All of these things will make me an informed and effective teacher.

As teachers, we must always put our students first. We need to nurture their developing

young minds but do so in a way that also shows them we have the control and authority. Most

importantly, we need to be the creative voice for them and show them all the beauty the world

has to offer as long as they follow their dreams. There is far too much negativity in the world,

and I intend on being a positive guiding light to my students.
