Chapter 1: The Effective Teacher

Chapter 1 Learning Outcome Quizzes Learning Outcome 1.1 Explain the role that research plays in demonstrating how teaching strategies and methods contribute to student performance.[Q1] What has become the focus of modern definitions of effective teaching?

• The teachers’ personality traits and community ideals
• How teachers interact with parents and colleagues
• The amount of education that a teacher possesses
• The teacher-student interaction within the classroom [correct]

[Response to Answer Choice 1] This was the previous focus. Research has since moved beyond this because it was unrealistic.[Response to Answer Choice 2] Teachers should be able to interact with many different personalities and be a good teammate within the school setting, however it has little effect on student achievement.[Response to Answer Choice 3] Teachers are required to hold certain credentials, and attend professional development regularly, however they must apply the knowledge learned.[Response to Correct Answer Choice 4] Positive teacher-student interactions directly impact student achievement and the effectiveness of the teacher.[Q2] What characteristics would have been considered a “good teacher” decades ago?

• Smart, angry, and bold
• Honest, considerate, and generous [correct]
• Thoughtful, strict, and envious
• Unfriendly, intelligent, and funny

[Response to Answer Choice 1] Teachers should not have been angry.[Response to Correct Answer Choice 2] Teachers were expected to be overall good people. 2 / 4

All Rights Reserved.[Response to Answer Choice 3] Teachers should only exude positive character traits.[Response to Answer Choice 4] An unfriendly teacher would not have been considered a good citizen or good employee.[Q3] Why did the definition of an ideal teacher shift?

• The ideals were unfair to teachers.
• Schools and divisions were unable to find enough teachers who held these qualities.
• The standards were unclear and could not be consistently applied. [correct]
• Colleges and universities were unable to effectively teach these qualities to their

teacher candidates.[Response to Answer Choice 1] While some teachers may have felt the unfairness, this was not the reason for the change, and not all teachers felt this way.[Response to Answer Choice 2] There has not been research and/or data to support this claim.[Response to Correct Answer Choice 3] The standards were unclear and unobjective. There was no way to measure a teacher’s performance using these standards and ideals.[Response to Answer Choice 4] Teaching personalities may have been a challenge, however this was not the reason for the change.[Q4] How did researchers collect data on classroom interactions between teachers and students?

• One researcher observed one classroom for a single class period.
• Several researchers observed several classrooms over many days. [correct]
• Several researchers observed classrooms as they participated in end-of-year

testing.

• Several researchers interviewed students about their overall satisfaction with school

and their teacher.[Response to Answer Choice 1] This method would have yielded too little data to reveal any patterns. 3 / 4

3 Copyright © 2022, 2017, 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved.[Response to Correct Answer Choice 2] This method would reveal consistent patterns of teacher-student interactions.[Response to Answer Choice 3] There would have been very little teacher-student interaction as the students were completing assessments.[Response to Answer Choice 4] While students’ opinions and thoughts are valued, effective teaching is not entirely dependent upon students’ opinions of their teachers.Learning Outcome 1.2 Examine key instructional behaviors that contribute to becoming an effective teacher.[Q1] Why is it important for a teacher to have lesson clarity?

• They will spend less time going over already taught material. [correct]
• Students are unable to focus on multiple stimuli at once.
• The classroom will be more organized and structured.
• Students will spend more time on task and engage in the learning process.

[Response to Correct Answer Choice 1] Questions will be answered clearly and correctly the first time that instruction is delivered. Students will be able to comprehend what is being taught.[Response to Answer Choice 2] This may be true for some students but not all.[Response to Answer Choice 3] Classroom environment is an important factor in student engagement and learning, but does not affect the clarity of the lesson.[Response to Answer Choice 4] Engagement in the learning process is a separate key behavior essential for effective teaching.[Q2] Mr. Brown established clear expectations and procedures in his classroom in the first few weeks of the school year. Students know and understand the rules that Mr. Brown has in his classroom, therefore there are very little interruptions and time away from teaching. Which key behavior has Mr. Brown mastered?
