Advancing the Science of Classroom Observation: New Applications and Directions From the Field

Tue, April 12, 8:15 to 9:45am, Convention Center, Floor: Level Three, Ballroom A

Session Type: Roundtable Session

Abstract

Classroom observation tools are not just an integral part of the accountability process, they add value to understanding and improving teaching and learning (Kane et al., 2013). The science of applying these tools has undergone considerable development in recent years. In the interest of achieving rigorous standards of reliability whilst protecting the best interest of the teachers they serve, researchers are applying new models of analyses, improving extant tools, and piloting new measures in the field. Towards this end, this symposium investigates these trends by showcasing papers from four research teams advancing the science of classroom observation. Findings regarding generalizability, reliability, predictive validity and applications will be discussed.
