| 摘要: | Due to a rapidly changing society, many critical family issues such as divorce, family violence, teenage pregnancy, child sexual abuse, and child care are emerging today. The call for effective teaching in family life is becoming more important to schools and society. The purpose of this study was to determine whether certain personal, professional, and situational characteristics explain the teachers' perceptions of effective teaching of secondary work and family teachers. The factors considered include personal and professional characteristics, subject matter taught, family strengths, work and family satisfaction, and teachers' perceptions of effective teaching. The design of this study was ex post facto/correlational. A random sample of 500 teachers was drawn from a population of 1267 secondary work and family teachers in Ohio. There was a 80.8% return rate of the survey questionnaire. The findings were as follows: the secondary work and family teachers taught in a variety of subject matter areas, and the majority of teachers taught what they prefer to teach. In general, teachers were generally satisfied with their work and family, had stronger/higher mean scores of family strengths, and perceived themselves as effective teachers. Family satisfaction, work satisfaction, education, race, current assignment , and current family strengths impact teachers' perceptions of effective teaching. Work satisfaction and family satisfaction were correlated. Teachers' work satisfaction was the best predictor of the teachers' perceptions of effective teaching followed by family satisfaction, education, race, and current assignment.
