Abstract

Reilability ratings were conducted on 18 operationally defined teacher behaviors within four competency-based teacher education categories: (a ) Planning Instruction, (b ) Methodology, (c ) Behavior Management, and (d ) Classroom Management. Percentages of agreement were calculated on product and performance sections of an observational checklist independently completed by the project director and a project consultant for each of 20 sessions. Agreements on the Product/Performance, Spring/Summer sessions and on the total checklist were all in the acceptable range of reliability, indicating a basically reliable assessment instrument. The question as to whether teaching behaviors can be objectively evaluated can be affirmed.
