  In Poster Session: Examining Learning Environments Across Diverse Contexts

Abstract

While the impact of teaching behavior on student outcomes has been widely recognized, there remains scarce research in collaborative teaching models. This study aimed to fill this research gap by conducting a large-scale survey study (n=525), examining self-reported effective teaching behaviors of team teachers. The study employed the ICALT framework to identify distinct teacher profiles based on their self-reported teaching behaviors. Additionally, the study explored the relationship between these profiles and other characteristics. Findings from cluster analyses revealed two profiles: teachers with an average level and teachers with high self-reported effective teaching behavior. Furthermore, significant differences between the two profiles were identified in terms of colleagues, use of team teaching, team teaching experiences, team teaching percentage, collaboration, and shared responsibility.
