Abstract
A 17-item students' rating scale, the Student Perception of Teacher Style, was developed by Tuckman as a measure of teachers' directiveness. Tuckman argues that this instrument provides a practical, valid and reliable alternative to ratings of teachers' behavior by trained observers. Ratings of male and female mathematics and English teachers were obtained from Grade 10 boys and girls. Factor analyses of ratings of male mathematics teachers ( n = 7) by boys ( n = 195), male English teachers ( n = 6) by boys ( n = 114), female mathematics teachers ( n = 3) by girls ( n = 40) and female English teachers ( n = 7) by girls ( n = 108) did not confirm Tuckman's factor structure.
