Finally, charts were compiled for each item showing the percentage of each response divided between counselors and administrators and as percentages of the whole, with responses quantified and averaged at this point as well. This allowed for the inclusion of a Mantel-Haenszel Chi-Square analysis, also shown on the charts, to determine the degree to which counselor and administrator responses to the instrument items differed, or if any statistically significant differences existed at all. Each of these steps in the statistical analysis of the raw data collected is clearly justified by the effects of such analysis; few manipulations were employed that ran a risk of eroding validity or encouraging misinterpretation.
The results of the statistical analysis were fairly clear in many cases, though there were also areas where statistically significant differences were not found to exist between behavioral health counselors and administrators. Even when differences were found, in fact, these differences did not necessarily have practical import on the subject being studied; access to technology was rated quite highly by both groups, despite significantly...
Though there was a statistically significant spread between administrators and counselors in this area, bit groups reported quite high levels of access to technology, and thus no practical barrier exists for counselors in this area despite their lag compared to administrators. Other areas showed similar results, with some differences being noted but with both counselors and administrators generally reporting a mid- to high-level of preparedness to engage in distance learning; counselors were notably higher in terms of preparedness for Internet communication, but administrators were not significantly lacking in this regard themselves -- simply the reverse of the technological access trend.
Conclusion
The findings suggest that despite relative preparedness for both behavioral health counselors and administrators to engage in distance learning, there are differences in these groups that need to be addressed. Work styles and expectations could be partially responsible for the differences noted in this study. Further research is required to ascertain the reasons for these differences.
This study investigates how ESL students' perception affects the teacher-student interaction in the writing conferences. The multiple-case study explores: ESL students' expectations of the writing conference and factors contributing to the expectations, participation patterns of ESL students in the conferences, and ESL students' perception of the effectiveness of teacher-student conferences. A questionnaire, distributed to 110 (65 NS and 45 ESL) students enrolled in the first-year composition classes, examines students'
Education A Comparison of Online Learning and Campus-Based Learning The development and growth of online learning has created opportunities for both students and academic institutions alike. The online learning environment may be argued as offering many benefits such increasing accessibility to education and support of diversity as well as providing a potentially lucrative revenue streams for the institutions. These benefits have driven the growth, but the benefits are not without drawbacks, with
The trainer will then focus on the steps to be taken to develop new skills. For example, if the trainer wants to talk about motivating, leading, negotiating, selling or speaking, it is best to start with what the learners do well before showing some chart on Maslow's theory, Posner's leadership practices, or selling skills from some standard package that has been develop elsewhere. Many foreign trainers make grave errors
Homeland Security and Preparedness, Response, Activities and Programs in Disaster Response or Disaster Recovery The focus of this study is the homeland security issue as it relates to the preparedness of the U.S.A. government and citizens in response to the emergencies that may emerge. The research question in this study is one that asks in light of the past disasters experienced by the United States such as the events of September 11,
Public Health Preparedness The concept of 'public health preparedness' (PHP) has been garnering recognition worldwide, given the global-scale threats which are constantly encountered by professional healthcare organizations, including bioterrorism, Ebola, the West Nile Virus, and influenza. Preparedness approaches have brought about improvements in the overall healthcare system, by enabling swifter responses to diverse kinds of hazards across the globe. A majority of PHP measures adopted in America are government-judged; this gives
How Technology Enhances ESL Students’ Learning Experience Introduction In the COVID-19 era, education has taken a dramatic turn towards distance learning, meaning that virtual classrooms are now more popular than ever. But what is the effect of the use of technology in an ESL classroom? Evidence shows that technology actually does enhance ESL students’ learning experience (Kasapoglu-Akyol, 2010). The fact is that ESL students use technology tools in their daily lives and
