Abstract Details

2007, Doctor of Philosophy, Ohio State University, Teaching and Learning.
This research explored the status of the roles, responsibilities, and practices of the university supervisors who served the middle childhood preservice teacher candidates in the state of Ohio. Survey results were collected from 36 colleges and universities. On-site visits were held during the end of the student teaching term at one small private college, one medium sized private university, and one large public university. The survey results indicated that 64% of the supervisors were required to perform a pre-observation conference with their preservice teacher candidate, while 97% were required to perform a post-observation conference. A little more than half (56%) of the supervisors were required to visit their preservice teacher candidate in the field weekly, while 89% were expected to submit the preservice teacher candidates’ final student teaching grade. On-site visitations helped to gain information regarding the nature of supervision for the middle childhood preservice teacher candidates. It was determined that the supervisors had variable supervisory training. Although each of the case-study supervisors was required to use the PATHWISE Observational System, only two of the supervisors received formal PATHWISE training. The on-site visitations revealed that the supervisor and preservice teachers were not necessarily matched according to content area of expertise. This lack of content match resulted in the supervisors giving superficial feedback that was not specific to content area pedagogy. The main strength of the supervisors’ services included that they were a support system for the preservice teachers.
