A preservice field experience supported by three supervisory components, namely the cooperating teacher, the university supervisor, and the peer coach; is scarcely documented in initial teacher preparation, a phenomenon that may result from a missing of empirical evidence indicating the collaborative effects of the three roles. This paper reports the results of a survey study with 114 participants, including cooperating teachers (n=50), university supervisors (n=12), and preservice teachers (n=52), to investigate the effects of the three roles in the student teaching experience. Specifically, this study examines (a) whether there are significant differences in the effects of the three roles in the areas of learning to teach, clinical supervision, and emotional needs; and (b) whether there are significant differences in the ratings of the three participants on the effects of the three roles in the three areas. This study used ANOVA testing and Tukey paired-wise comparisons to analyze data and respond to the first question and MANOVA testing and Scheffe paired-wise comparisons to find the answer to the second question. The results indicate that each player has a distinct role in supporting student teachers and that the inclusion of all three players benefits the overall experience of student teachers. More implications are discussed. |
