Students under different instructors did not differ in their improvement on their clicker scores (χ = 3.8, df = 2, p = 0.15), nor were there treatment × instructor interactions.
However, data analysis of this initial trial revealed significant differences between sections taught by different instructors (unpublished data).
The same pedagogical approaches may work differently in the hands of different instructors, and sometimes intangibles may be at play, aspects of teaching that are stylistic, affective, and centered on the student instructor relationship.
In five of the team-taught courses, the differences between the TPI responses for different instructors were small (0 2 points using the scoring rubric discussed in the Scoring Rubric section) and consistent with the known differences in classroom practices between the instructors.
Below we present results that yield both qualitative and quantitative data that characterize 1) the emergent categories and subcategories of Instructor Talk, 2) the prevalence of Instructor Talk throughout the semester, and 3) the similarities and differences in Instructor Talk used by two different instructors.
In addition, there were no significant differences in acceptance of evolution between students of different instructors (F = 2.384, DF = 228, p = 0.094).
There were nearly three times as many instances of Instructor Talk in class sessions taught by Instructor A as compared with Instructor B. Differences in the quantity of Instructor Talk between different instructors may be important in correlating Instructor Talk with student outcomes like student resistance, stereotype threat, and instructor immediacy.
One possible difference in the effectiveness of active-learning pedagogies in the hands of different instructors may lie in the extent to which these instructors consider student metacognition when they implement active-learning strategies.
As if that weren't enough, what your different instructors tell you may be flatly contradictory.
The Noices later replicated the study in five different retirement homes, using different instructors, with similar findings.
Mr. Bernard said Mr. Hanjour made three flights with two different instructors but was unable to prove that he had the necessary skills.
