Sempowicz, T., & Hudson, P. (2011). Analysing mentoring dialogues for developing a preservice teacher's classroom management practices. Australian Journal of Teacher Education, 36(8). https://ro.ecu.edu.au/ajte/vol36/iss8/1 doi:10.14221/ajte.2011v36n8.4
q2 · i? · qualitative · r3
Case-study finding from written reflections, subsequent lesson plans and researcher observation. The mentor scaffolded confidence through repeated short small-group lessons; by week three the mentee taught her first 57-minute whole-class lesson confidently.
"She did this by providing her mentee with the opportunity to plan and conduct short lessons (20-30 minutes) which she repeated six times with groups of four children. Written reflections and subsequent lesson plans revealed that between repetitions Anna reviewed and modified her classroom management strategies."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Most attributes and practices of the five-factor mentoring model (30 of 34) provided input into a first-practicum mentee's classroom management, with no overt evidence on aims, curriculum, timetabling or assessment — a broader claim this one bears on
- Mentored inquiry with staged mechanistic sensemaking supports the transition from intuitive to formal equation reasoning — related
- Mentee participation in a school-wide positive behaviour support program (Program Achieve) enabled confident implementation of learned strategies in other lessons — related
- A structured feedback-and-reflection cycle (pre-lesson plan review, immediate verbal comments, written feedback, take-up time, and open-ended questioning) supported the mentee's reflective development — a broader claim this one bears on
- Mentor modelling and a school-wide behaviour program's strategies transferred to the mentee's classroom management practices — related
- Literacy coaching responsibilities fall into two major areas: teacher mentoring and literacy program advocacy — related
