Using High School and College Data to Predict Teacher Candidates' Performance on the Praxis at Unibetsedåt Guåhan (University of Guam). Study Snapshot. REL 2021-104
Regional Educational Laboratory Pacific
This Study Snapshot highlights key findings from a study that examined which student demographic and academic preparation characteristics predict passing the Praxis® Core test and each of its subtests at the Unibetsedåt Guåhan (University of Guam, UOG) School of Education. This information is needed to increase admissions to the School of Education and, ultimately, to increase the number of available teachers. Policymakers and educators on Guåhan (Guam) are concerned about the persistent shortage of qualified K-12 teachers. Staff at the School of Education, the only local university that offers a teacher training and certification program, believe that more students are interested in becoming teachers but that the program's admissions requirements--in particular, the Praxis® Core test, which consists of reading, writing, and math subtests--might be a barrier. By better understanding which Praxis® subtests are more difficult for students to pass, Guam Department of Education's (GDOE) staff and UOG faculty can align or design curricula to cover the topics that the Praxis® Core test and its subtests cover.
