To address increasing national interest in teacher candidate performance assessments, this multiple case study examined three novice teachers' assessment literacy practices from their completion of a teacher candidate performance assessment through their first year of teaching. Drawing on the literature on assessment literacy and novice teacher…

The teaching quality evaluation of college teachers is an important indicator of school evaluation, performance assessment and teacher promotion. However, the existing evaluation methods are only limited to the formal evaluation of teaching behavior, and have not achieved objective, reasonable and scientific evaluation results. The purpose of this…

Peer assessment (PA) is generally effective, and especially important for school teachers, as the experience might lead teachers to use PA more skilfully with school students. Digital PA (using computers) becomes more important as universities switch to online learning. This systematic review of research literature on digital PA for pre-service…

An essential component of any training activity is observations, and in almost any teacher education or professional development context, observations are followed by feedback sessions aimed at improving teaching practices. Nevertheless, whether these sessions accomplish this aim is an issue of concern as it is highly related to how effective it…

The body of work regarding gender bias in academia shows that female instructors are often rated lower by students than their male counterparts. Mechanisms are complex and intersectional and often associated with role congruity theory. Little research has examined parallel patterns in graduate teaching assistant (TA) evaluations. In research…

Peer teaching is a valuable practice that helps pre-service teachers to acquire the knowledge and the expertise required for teaching as well as improving their pedagogical content knowledge. For that reason, this study focused on the pre-service mathematics teachers' peer teaching, with the intention of exploring their pedagogical content…

The teaching practicum, which is an integral part of any teacher's education, is considered the most crucial and influential stage for student teachers. This study explored the commonalities and differences in teaching practicum programs in three teacher education institutions in Cambodia. Employing a cross-case analysis, the author triangulated…

A framework was proposed to identify the at-risk factors of college courses in blended mode, offering suggestions for continuous improvement. An indicator system concerning teaching quality characteristics was constructed based on context, input, process, and product (CIPP) model. Subsequently, the group Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) algorithm…

This study aims to test the content and face validity of Secondary School Islamic Education Teacher Self-Assessment Instrument (SSIET-SAI) using Content Validity Ratio (CVR), Content Validity Index (CVI) and Cohen Kappa Index (CKI) analysis. They are nine professional experts from universities and schools and two other expert field. Validation…

Initial Teacher Education (ITE) reform in Australia has mandated that graduating teachers demonstrate their practice and 'impact' through the completion of a Teaching Performance Assessment (TPA) prior to graduation. The requirement to analyse 'impact' in teaching, requires a nuanced understanding of what 'impact' is and how it manifests in varied…

In a super-saturated world of academia, the real power has slowly moved from academics' ownership of their own means of production to a more managerial ethos, with all the accompanying control systems, surveillance, bureaucracy, performance audits and judgements that that entails. Student evaluation of teaching (SET) has become a significant…

University reward systems (i.e., tenure and promotion standards) can shape educators' behaviors and dedication to teaching. This study contributes to knowledge by conceptually mapping teaching evaluation standards through a thematic analysis of U.S. tenure and promotion documents from media- and communication-centric departments. The results…

In the last two decades, education has come under scrutiny. In response, the edTPA was designed as a panacea for a successful cure for teachers' lack of effectiveness. A teaching preparation program, or teaching, is a historically situated social practice encompassing belief structure, attitudes, and actions (Cochran-Smith et al., 2016).…

It has been widely argued that journal metrics are used in assessing publication records on resumes for academic jobs and assessments. Within that debate, two important considerations emerge. Firstly, academics belonging to different career cohorts may have different experiences which are reflected in their recommendations related to targeting and…

Background: With in-person instruction, many undergraduates look at screens during lectures. Because screens can distract, attempts to curb this behavior through screen policies are increasingly common but understudied. Objective and Method: Two quasi-experimental studies (Study 1: N = 412; Study 2: N = 179) in the same Psychology class explore…
