Abstract
The
major
purpose
of this
study
was to
ascertain
whether
or not a
relationship
exists
between
a
teacher's
knowledge
of
reading
and
each
of the
following
variables:
sex
of the
teacher
,
number
of
years
of
teaching
experience
,
grade
level
taught
by the
teacher
,
degree
level
of the
teacher
,
teaching
certificate
,
number
of
reading
courses
a
teacher
has
completed
, and
whether
a
teacher
teaches
in an
urban
or
non-urban
school.
The
order
of
importance
of those
relationships
which
were
found
to be
significant
was also
determined.
--
One
hundred
twenty-four
teachers
from the
Roman
Catholic
School
Board
,
Humber-St.
Barbe
comprised
the
population
of the
study.
A
measure
of
teacher
knowledge
of
Reading
was
determined
by
means
of the
scores
on the
Inventory
of
Teacher
Knowledge
of
Reading.
At the
same
time
,
information
was also
obtained
on the
independent
variables
by
means
of a
teacher
information
sheet
devised
by the
researcher.
--
Product-Moment
Correlation
Coefficients
and
regression
analysis
were
employed
on the
predictor
variables
to
establish
their
effect
on
knowledge
of
reading.
--
It
was
found
that a
significant
relationship
exists
between
teacher
knowledge
of
reading
and the
following
independent
variables:
experience
,
certification
,
urban
, and
courses.
The
variables
of
sex
and
grade
taught
did
not
correlate
significantly
with
teacher
knowledge
of
reading.
--
This
study
also
concludes
that
while
degree
,
when
viewed
by
itself
is
statistically
significant
, in
terms
of the
total
picture
it
is
not
significant.
The
findings
which
determine
the
important
variables
show
that
certificate
is
a
more
exact
predictor
of
teacher
knowledge
of
reading.
--
Recommendations
arising
from the
findings
have been
made.
Some
suggestions
for
future
research
are
offered.
