Abstract | Observations were conducted in 29 elementary schools in which reading instruction had been found to be effective, as well as in classes from less effective schools, in order to determine the characteristics which were associated with effective and ineffective compensatory reading programs. The schools' membership in a cluster (partially effective, partially ineffective, etc.) was not known by the observers or the schools. A number of comments, reactions, and descriptions of classroom activities were provided by the observers. Observers' reactions and factor analyses of data collected on the Classroom Observation Schedule suggested eleven variables associated with effectiveness: (1) student autonomy; (2) adult centeredness of the classroom; (3) classroom affect; (4) teacher warmth, charisma, or leadership style; (5) teacher/classroom flexibility; (6) effectiveness of instruction; (7) student involvement; (8) structure; (9) student/teacher interaction; (10) punitive teacher control and (11) equality of teacher attention to students. Five exceptionally effective schools were observed three times; their characteristics included assignment of high priority to reading instruction, attention to basic skills, breadth of instructional materials, and sharing of ideas among teachers. Successful characteristics of individual teachers were not readily apparent. (The Classroom Observation Schedule, the School Rating Schedule, and its manual are appended). (GDC) |
