The teacher survey, a measure of teacher reactions to a variety of pupil, parent, and class-management problems was developed and tested on 218 primary grade teachers. (Author)

Checklists detailing what a student teacher is expected to do when presenting a lesson have been developed by a consortium of health educators. (MM)

Using five readily available classroom observation systems, three 50-minute videotapes of classroom interaction were rated for each of twelve social studies teachers. Comparisons yielded 23 categories that measured similar behaviors across systems, approximately half of which satisfied all validity tests. Implications for process-product studies…

The authors present a field study aimed at determining whether or not statistically significant relationships exist between students' perceptions of selected behaviors of pre-algebra teachers and selected student performance and attitude variables. (MN)

Dimensions of student attitude toward teacher behavior at the college level were investigated via factor analysis. Six factors were extracted and examined with a second sample and compared to dimensions discussed in the literature. (JKS)

Studies of classes in which teachers used a science curriculum developed by the Australian Science Education Project are reported. (GW)

The hypothesis analyzed in this study is that grade "inflation" may be reflecting real increases in student achievement, demographic factors that may be related to grading, or institutional grading policies that permit grade point averages to rise even if grading standards remain unchanged. (Editor/LBH)

The spectrum of teaching styles is a continuum of seven models: command, task, reciprocal, individual (teacher-designed), guided discovery, problem solving, and individual program (student-designed). A progression through these styles increasingly promotes student responsibility in decisions regarding teacher-learner transactions. Major categories…

The construct of teacher clarity was investigated and defined in terms of observable teacher behaviors. (MM)

In this article three stages of the teaching process are examined: planning, interaction, and assessment. (JD)

Considers what teacher centers actually are, what they do, what they are supposed to do, and how they are formed. Discusses three types of centers, their organizational structure and function, and the theory underlying them. (Editor/RK)

Assesses inservice training as a strategy for bringing about change in schools. The concepts of the change process serve as a theoretical base for identifying three approaches--workshops, organizational development, and action research--to inservice education that appear to have the greatest potential for effecting change. (Author/IRT)

Research related to creativity in movement is discussed, with specific attention directed toward behavioral definitions of creative movement processes and the development of teacher behavior intended to elicit creative movement performance. (CB)

Three studies are reviewed that focus on teacher utilization of the Movement Process Category System, a component of the Purpose Process Curriculum Framework, for planning instruction. (CB)

Simultaneous communication used by four teachers in formal lessons was investigated, to determine the extent to which signs and speech matched and to delineate factors predicting communication behavior. Simultaneous communication was found to be sign-driven or speech-driven depending on factors such as student comprehension, teacher's expertise,…
