This study shows that the Teaching Personal and Social Responsibility (TPSR) model effectively enhances student autonomy. Teacher professional development in TPSR strategies improved teaching behaviors, benefiting students in primary and secondary education.
Area of Science:
- Education
- Psychology
- Sports Science
Background:
- The Teaching Personal and Social Responsibility (TPSR) model is a pedagogical framework aimed at fostering students' autonomy and responsibility.
- Continuing professional development is crucial for educators to effectively implement innovative teaching strategies like TPSR.
- Understanding shifts in teacher behavior is key to evaluating the successful integration of TPSR in diverse educational settings.
Purpose of the Study:
- To analyze the feasibility of the TPSR model in enhancing student autonomy.
- To detect shifts in teachers' behavior-oriented patterns following professional development in TPSR strategies.
- To compare the TPSR implementation by teachers trained in the model versus an expert teacher.
Main Methods:
- A mixed-method approach was employed, combining quantitative and qualitative data collection and analysis.
- The Observational System of Teaching Oriented Responsibility (OSTOR) tracked changes in teacher behavior patterns.
- The Tool for Assessing Responsibility-Based Education (TARE 2.0) captured teacher and student perceived behaviors.
- Data analysis included T-pattern detection, polar coordinate analysis, and descriptive/correlational analysis.
Main Results:
- The TPSR model demonstrated feasibility in enhancing student autonomy across primary and secondary school settings.
- Teachers who received TPSR training showed significant positive shifts in their behavior-oriented patterns.
- The TPSR implementation by trained teachers was comparable to that of an expert, indicating successful professional development.
Conclusions:
- Continuing professional development in TPSR strategies effectively enhances teachers' pedagogical behaviors.
- The TPSR model is a viable approach for improving student autonomy and responsibility in educational contexts.
- Mixed-method research provides robust insights into the impact of pedagogical interventions on teaching practices and student outcomes.
