Session Type: Symposium
Teacher competence can be modelled as the latent cognitive and affective-motivational underpinning of classroom performance (Blömeke, Gustafsson & Shavelson, in press). It is, thus, a multi-dimensional construct that includes several knowledge, skill and attitude dimensions. How these dimensions can be assessed reliably and validly, how they are related to each other and whether they really predict performance are important research questions given that teacher quality influences student achievement. This symposiums brings together four studies that applied multiple methods (paper-pencil and video-based tests, diagnostic notes and direct observation) to assess multiple teacher traits. It provides insight into the construct validity of such assessments and into the relationship of knowledge, attitudes, skills and classroom performance as well as their stability or variability.
