Instructional Strategy Use of Faculty in Career and Technical Education

Abstract

Despite the need to provide differentiated instruction to diverse learners in contemporary CTE programs across institutes of higher education, little research has explored the actual classroom instructional strategies employed in postsecondary settings. To that end, this study found 387 CTE faculty most frequently use interactive lecture, questioning, whole-group discussion, and guided practice in their courses. While, the most infrequently used instructional strategies for CTE faculty included question and answer methods using clickers, synchronous online lecture, video creation, student-generated examinations and quizzes, and reflective blogs. As such, recommendations are articulated for both novice and experienced CTE doctoral students, faculty, and instructors regarding alternative pedagogies they might consider when teaching CTE courses.

Teaching Leadership Online: An Exploratory Study of Instructional and Assessment Strategy Use

“…To explore the research questions within the framework of distance learning and leadership education, a list of commonly utilized instructional and assessment strategies used in both online and leadership education contexts was created. The selection of online instructional strategies was informed by the empirical studies of Djajalaksana (2011; see also Fletcher, Djajalaksana, & Eison, 2012;Djajalaksana, Dedrick, & Eison, 2013) as well as the work of Salmon (2002), Bonk, Graham, Cross, and Moore (2005), and Bonk and Zhang (2008), all of whom published extensive guidebooks for online learning in educational settings. Additionally, studies by Allen and Hartman (2008a, 2009b, who created one of the first comprehensive lists of leadership development teaching methods found in the literature (see also Avolio, 1999;Day, 2000;London, 2002;Yukl, 2006) and later, Jenkins (2012Jenkins ( , 2013 who conducted an empirical exploration of instructional strategy use of undergraduate leadership educators, also informed the list of instructional strategies surveyed (see Table 1) to a large extent.…”

Their work also incorporated pedagogy from the work of Allen andHartman (2008), Conger (1992), and Shulman's framework of signature pedagogies (Shulman, 2005), which provided a recommendation that pedagogies link ideas, practice and values that lead to practical and informed use of the content.…”
