Abstract
Memories of a good or bad teacher are unique for
each student that reflects upon the attributes of their
teacher, the pedagogy employed in the classroom,
and their focus on the student. Qualitative analysis of
student reflections of teaching demonstrate that good
teachers are caring, enthusiastic, have a relevant and
engaging instructional style, display content
expertise, and manage classroom discipline.
Abstract
Reflections on bad teaching tend to overlap with
aspects of instructional techniques and classroom
discipline where good teachers meet student
expectations in these areas or do not. Curiously, good
teaching overcomes negative reflections of poor
presentation and classroom discipline and provides an
environment that is empathetic toward student needs
and is delivered in an enthusiastic and engaging
manner (Jackson 2006).
Study Purpose
Summarizes the findings within the three general categories of good teaching
(teacher attributes, classroom pedagogy, and student centered) that emerge from
related studies on good teaching (LaLopa 2011, Patrick and Smart, 1998; Smith
and Cranton, 1992).
Methods
Sample
The 250 students enrolled in a large introductory
class in hospitality were eligible to participate in
an online survey for extra credit. The class is a
mix of students from freshman through senior
year.
Procedures
Two questions were generated to gather
qualitative data from the students to allow them to
describe the traits of good and then bad teachers
in 5-10 key words.
Methods
Data Analysis
Qualitative analysis of the student responses were
analyzed for themes and trends to determine how
students viewed good and bad teaching within the
social context of a classroom (Achterberg &
Arendt, 2008; Marshal & Rossman, 2006,
Cresswell, 2007).
