Description
Summary:Requested 4 groups of raters (706 students, 90 parents, 21 faculty, and 5 administrators) to name the 4 most effective and 4 least effective teachers at a secondary school. Ss were also asked for standards employed in making their nominations. Results indicate moderate agreement between different rating groups. Administrators and faculty had the most similar perceptions of teacher performance, whereas faculty and parents agreed least. Students showed no significant agreement with any of the other rating groups regarding least effective teachers. Students' judgments were related to class level and self-reported academic achievement suggesting that teacher evaluations represent a complex interactional process necessitating the specification of rater characteristics.
