| Abstract: | The vocational education teacher was the focus of this study designed to gain a better understanding of how communication relates to teaching effectiveness in a vocational setting. Teaching effectiveness was defined in terms of four criteria: supervisor evaluations of teachers, student evaluations of teachers, absentee rate, and drop rate. The teachers who served as subjects for the study came from a number of industrial education programs located in Florida secondary schools, vocational-technical centers, and community colleges. Two trained observers spent two days with each teacher recording his behavior and the behavior of his students. Underscoring the importance of communication skills, this study showed that there were identifiable differences in behavior among teachers categorized according to supervisor and/or student ratings. The "best" teachers were very dynamic, had superior delivery skills, spent a great amount of time in direct contact with their students, and created a pleasant social-emotional environment through the use of positive reinforcement and banter. Seven recommendations were made for vocational education on the basis of the findings in this study. (Author/RB) |
