TITLE: Teacher Evaluation Research, Part I: Consideration
of Critical Issues, Feasibility of Collaborative Research,
and
Overall Design. Final Report.
YEAR PUBLISHED: 1971
NOTE: 37 p.
ABSTRACT: This report briefly reviews research on teacher
effectiveness and presents the conclusions of a 2-day
conference held in October 1969 to consider issues related
to the assessment of teacher effectiveness and make
recommendations to the U.S. Office of Education (USOE)
regarding the encouragement of research in this area. The
committee concluded that USOE should encourage and support
a large-scale systematic approach to research on teacher
effectiveness, including the development and testing of
measurement instruments which allow for cultural diversity
and varying criteria. These instruments would be used in
descriptive research to identify teacher and student
characteristics and behaviors and longitudinal experimental
research which would assess effects, changes, and
relationships that may be inferred to result from
identifiable teacher education experiences. (The report
includes an 89-item bibliography.) (RT)

This is an ERIC database document. ERIC is the National
Education Information Network for providing ready access to
the literature of education - descriptions of exemplary
programs, research and development efforts, and related
information that can be used in developing more effective
educational programs. The ERIC database is currently
available on CD-ROM in the main library (ground floor of
the West Wing) at Michigan State University.To locate ERIC
documents in the library: identify the first line of each
record (i.e., the field ERIC TITLE NUMBER). ED following
ERIC TITLE NUMBER indicates an ERIC document, an
unpublished research study.
Most of these items are available in the Micrforms Library,
located on the 3rd floor of the West Wing. All you need is
the six digit ED number.
If EJ follows ERIC TITLE NUMBER the item is a journal
article. The complete journal name islisted after the code
JOURNAL.
To find the call number and location of a journal you may
use the printed JOURNALS INDEXED IN C.I.J.E. located at the
ERIC CD-ROM workstation and at the Cosial Sciences and
Humanities/GovernmentDocuments Reference Desk. You may also
type the journal name, without the dashes "-" , into a
MAGIC terminal.
