Peer observation of teaching (POT) is a reciprocal process where a peer observes another’s teaching (classroom, virtual, on-line or even teaching resource such as unit outlines, assignments). Peers then provide constructive feedbacks that would enable teaching professional development through the mirror of critical reflection by both the observer and the observee (Brookefield, 1995). Peel (2005...

Current research suggests that constant delay is an effective means of teaching students through near-errorless learning. The current study examined how procedures used in previous research may be modified so that constant delay can be implemented with students who have physical disabilities that prevent them from engaging in fluent academic responding. A multiple baseline design with probes wa...

Reciprocity is a basic property existing in wave phenomena characterized by complex transmission coefficients. duct describes the relationship between direct response at outlet to source applied inlet and reverse outlet. The reciprocity has been adopted simplify methodology for predicting coefficient from vice versa. methods, however, cannot predict form of because they only consider moduli but...

We converted the Teacher Behaviors Checklist (TBC; Buskist, Sikorski, Buckley, & Saville, 2002) to an evaluative instrument to assess teaching by adding specific instructions and a Likert-type scale. Factor analysis of the modified TBC produced 2 subscales: caring and supportive and professional competency and communication skills. Further psychometric analysis suggested the instrument possesse...
