Evaluation of the Effects of the Eager to Learn Teacher Inservice Television Series.
Owens, Thomas R.; Kneedler, Peter
The "Eager to Learn" inservice training television series was designed to help teachers use, as part of their individual teaching strategies, seven enabling behaviors: structuring, problem focusing, accepting, clarifying, facilitating, deliberate, silence, and modeling. Over 200 elementary school teachers participated in the series which consisted of six half-hour televised lessons. The evaluation design analyzed teacher comprehension of the behaviors, their attitudes toward them, their use of the behaviors in the classroom, and the students' attitudes toward teacher-student interaction. The evaluation was conducted by questionnaire. The results of the evaluation showed that the series had demonstrated its ability to change teachers' understanding of the enabling behaviors as well as to significantly increase the frequency with which four of the seven behaviors were used in the classroom.
