Alternative Methods Of Instruction: Findings, Study Outcomes, and Recommendation

by Marina Bichinsky, Jane Goretskaya

Overview

Chapter 1 of book 3 reports the results produced by the systematic and careful application of analytical techniques to the data. All statements made in the chapter are directly supported by the results of the data analysis. Chapter 1 is divided into the introduction, findings, and summary sections. The study goal was to create a broad understanding of the role of art education and distance learning in the development of English learners' ability to learn English as a second language as well as core subjects such as language arts, mathematics, and science. Ultimately, it was hoped that these methods could be implemented in existing and new programs to teach Limited English Proficiency students. The results from the analysis of school and data from interviews are presented in the next section. The 9-step van Kaam phenomenological method was used to analyze the data and produce the composite descriptions of factors in art education and distance learning that the participating in study educators identified as having a positive influence on LEP students' achievement. Chapter 2 of the book 3 reports the conclusions drawn from the findings from the investigation. The chapter provides study outcomes and recommendations for action by the key stakeholders and for further research. Issues of scope, limitations, and delimitations are included in the discussion, and potential bias in the participants' responses is analyzed.
