Using Content Acquisition Podcasts to Improve Preservice Teacher Use of Behavior-Specific Praise
Miller, Rhonda D.; Uphold, Nicole
Teacher Education and Special Education, v44 n4 p300-318 Nov 2021
With increasing demands for teacher accountability, today's teachers are tasked with meeting both the academic and behavioral needs of their students. Being able to efficiently manage classroom behavior can maximize classroom time for instruction. In a multiple-probe across participants design study, we investigated the effects of content acquisition podcasts (CAPs) plus video along with coaching feedback on preservice teachers' use of behavior-specific praise statements. Preservice teachers in elementary, intermediate, middle, and high school settings participated during their final internship in a special education preparation program. Direct observations over a 9-week period showed an increase in the use of behavior-specific praise statements across participants. Implications for research and teacher education are discussed.
