Early career physical educators’ perceived efficacy, effectiveness, and emotional experience: a comparison between edTPA and non-edTPA completers

ABSTRACT Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore the influence of completing the edTPA on early career U.S. physical educators’ mastery attributions, teaching efficacy, perceived effectiveness, and emotional experience. Methods: A sequential mixed methods design was used. Early career physical educators (N = 72) completed a survey that investigated their mastery attributions, teaching efficacy, perceived effectiveness, and emotions. Follow-up interviews (n = 14) were conducted with first year teachers in both edTPA (n = 7) and UBWSP (n = 7) groups. Results: Quantitative analysis revealed no significant differences between the two groups in any of the four dependent variables. Qualitative analysis revealed that teachers found little value in their practicum projects with edTPA completers identifying specific elements as influential on their teaching. There is a need to devise a more meaningful teaching performance assessment that teachers can use as they transition into the profession.

More Evidence of Low Inter-Rater Reliability of a High-Stakes Performance Assessment of Teacher Candidates

From 2010 to 2015, our school of education used the Performance Assessment for California Teachers (PACT), a summative assessment designed to assess preservice teacher competence. Candidate portfolios were uploaded to an evaluation portal, and trained evaluators assigned a final score of Pass or Fail to the work samples. Three consensus estimates of inter-rater reliability of 181 candidate portfolios that were either double- or triple-scored were computed. Two chance-corrected estimates of inter-rater reliability (Cohen’s kappa and Gwet’s AC1) and percent agreement were computed and calculated within five content areas: elementary math, secondary history/social science, math, science, and English language arts. An initial Pass or Fail score was not more likely to be followed by either a Pass or Fail score given by a subsequent evaluator. Inter-rater reliability was interpreted as being low across all content areas that were examined. None of the percent agreement coefficients attained the minimum standard of 0.700 for consensus agreement. Increasing research access to proprietary double-scored data would lead to an increased understanding of, and perhaps improvement in, teacher performance assessments.

Application of TOPSIS Method to Design a Decision Support System in Assessing Teachers Performance

The purpose of this project is to develop a decision support system for evaluating teacher performance based on the TOPSIS approach (a strategy that can be referred to by others based on its resemblance to an ideal solution). The investigator collected data through a variety of methods, including observations, literature reviews, online data searches, and interviewing. In the research, the author developed the system using the RAD (Rapid Application Development) paradigm. The approach is used by the author to compute teacher performance evaluations. Next, before running the code, manually simulate the TOPSIS calculations. The next step is coding, which is done using JavaScript and the PHP programming language. The web server is XAMPP, the database is MySQL, and the system creation framework is the Content Management System (CMS). The black box testing approach was employed by the author in this study. Compared to the prior duration of around one month, the black box testing approach has demonstrated the ability to complete calculations for teacher performance assessments in five minutes. Teachers with a final score above the average are considered to have good performance, while those with a score below the average indicate decreased or weak performance. Proves that from 100 teachers, there are 30 weakest teachers in the 1st criteria, 5 weakest teachers in the 13th criteria, 10 weakest teachers in the 7th criteria, 5 weakest teacher in the 10th criteria, 25 weakest teachers in the 4th criteria, and 10 weakest teachers in the 1st criteria. There are 45 weakest teachers in total, with 10 in the 11th criterion and 5 in the 12th criterion. That way, schools can follow up on each teacher's weak criteria appropriately so that they can improve teacher performance in the school.
