35.042 - Exploring Student and Teacher Perception Surveys to Learn More About Teachers and Teaching
Fri, April 17, 4:05 to 5:35pm, Marriott, Floor: Sixth Level, Northwestern/Ohio StateSession Type: Symposium
Abstract
A growing body of research has suggested that surveys of students’ perceptions of the classroom can provide useful information about teacher and teaching quality (Kane, McCaffrey, Miller, & Staiger, 2013; Ferguson, 2012). Yet evidence of whether and how student and teacher perceptions of the classroom converge—and the extent to which they relate to classroom demographics, student achievement, and observations conducted by third parties—remains slim. To augment the research on student and teacher surveys, this symposium of four papers uses data collected from 246 teachers over three academic years and presents findings on student and teacher surveys in relation to other classroom characteristics.
