Krista Uibu; Eve Kikas; Kristiina Tropp

The article discusses kindergarten and primary school teachers’ preferences for instructional approaches and teaching practices. One hundred and thirty‐three teachers from Estonia completed questionnaires. The results showed that the promotion of students’ comprehension and independence, enhancing practical application and individualisation of instruction are highlighted by kindergarten as well as primary school teachers. The major difference between kindergarten and primary school teachers is in the usage of rote learning practices. Using a person‐oriented approach to data analysis, kindergarten teachers’ instructional patterns were shown to be similar to constructivist approaches, and primary school teachers’ patterns similar to traditional and constructivist approaches.

Authoritative and authoritarian-inconsistent teachers’ preferences for teaching methods and instructional goals

Krista Uibu; Eve Kikas

Preferences for teaching methods are influenced by several factors, including instructional goals, teachers management style, experience and education. To discover in which ways primary school teachers with different management styles vary in their preferences for students’ cognitive and social development, 128 teachers of Estonia were questioned. According to the results, authoritative and authoritarian-inconsistent teachers used different methods more frequently for gaining cognitive than social enhancement goals. However, authoritative teachers emphasised students’ social competences significantly more than authoritarian-inconsistent teachers. Greater differences between groups were revealed in case of progressive methods. Moreover, authoritative teachers demonstrated a more conscious choice of teaching methods for a wider variety of purposes.
