Over the past 25 years, numerous studies have sought to explore the ways in which the quality of teacher-student relationship develops. Such relationships are considered particularly significant in the case of students diagnosed with learning disabilities (LD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The study involved 65 dyads of Israeli homeroom teachers and their students (mean a...

Perceptions held by agricultural science student teachers about their relationship with cooperating teachers during field experiences is a variable that may affect the number of student teachers entering the profession. The purpose of this study, which was part of a larger study, was to examine the effects implementing structured communication between student teachers and cooperating teachers w...

As a secondary analysis of the SITES 2006 data, the present paper focused on the exploration of the factors associated with the impact of ICT-use on students’ 21st-century skills as perceived by teachers, in which students’ 21st-century skills included information-handling skills, problem-solving skills, self-directed learning skills, collaborative skills, communication skills, ICT skills, and ...

Teacher quality is an important factor in improving student achievement. As such, policymakers have constructed a number of different credentials to identify high quality teachers. Unfortunately, few of the credentials used in developing countries have been validated (in terms of whether teachers holding such credentials actually improve student achievement). In this study, we employ a student-...

The purpose of this thesis was to explore the critical thinking demonstrated within student teacher blog posts as student teachers discussed and reflected in an online community of practice during their student teaching experiences, and to determine the critical thinking demonstrated within student teaching blog posts as the blog posts related to the Interstate New Teacher Assessment and Suppor...

BACKGROUND This longitudinal study classified groups of children experiencing different trajectories of student-teacher relationship quality over the transition from preschool into school, and determined the strength of the association between different student-teacher relationship trajectories and childhood mental health problems in the second year of primary school. METHODS A community samp...

the concept of teacher efficacy has received significant attention in educational contexts in the recent years and has been empirically probed at 2 levels: individual teacher efficacy and collective teacher efficacy. having their origins in the social cognitive theory, teacher and collective efficacy perceptions are quite distinct constructs, each affecting educational decisions and student ach...

Agents learning how to act in new environments can benefit from input from more experienced agents or humans. This paper studies interactive teaching strategies for identifying when a student can benefit from teacher-advice in a reinforcement learning framework. In student-teacher learning, a teacher agent can advise the student on which action to take. Prior work has considered heuristics for ...

In supervised learning, learning from queries rather than from random examples can improve generalization performance significantly. We study the performance of query learning for problems where the student cannot learn the teacher perfectly, which occur frequently in practice. As a prototypical scenario of this kind, we consider a linear perceptron student learning a binary perceptron teacher....
