What's new in pedagogy research? (Professional Resources).
Everyone knows that positive comments in the lesson are better than negative or critical responses, right? Well, maybe not! Robert Duke and Jacqueline Henninger recently published a study titled "Teachers' Verbal Corrections and Observers' Perceptions of Teaching and Learning." (1) This investigation was based on two of the videotaped lessons collected in a previous experiment by these researchers. (2) In the first project, one of the lessons was labeled a directive lesson, and in this private recorder lesson, the teacher made corrections by stating specific directions for improving the next attempt. (An example of this might be for the teacher to suggest playing a section of the music more softly next time.) Negative feedback comments were avoided during the lesson. The second lesson, given by the same teacher to a different student, was labeled the negative feedback lesson, and in this tape, the teacher corrected errors by directly stating what was incorrect and asking the student to try correcting the error again. (For example, the teacher might simply state, "This section was too loud. Try it again.") (3) The teacher maintained the same facial expressions and emotional tone throughout both lessons. The numbers of positive, negative and directive comments were tabulated, along with the number of performance trials and the time it took for the student to reach the performance criterion.
In this second study, two of these tapes were shown to fifty-one undergraduates enrolled in music teacher preparation programs at two universities. These university students viewed the two tapes in a single class meeting and then responded to ten statements about the student and the teaching, using a four-point scale ranging from strongly disagree to strongly agree.
The ten statements were:
* The student seemed to enjoy learning to play the recorder.
* The student seemed to find it difficult to play the recorder.
* I believe that this student would choose to continue learning to play the recorder.
* This lesson seemed like a negative experience for the student.
