Preliminary Evidence on Measurement Characteristics for the Foundational Assessment of Competencies for Teaching Performance Tasks

Abstract: Since its 1947 founding, ETS has conducted and disseminated scientific research to support its products and services, and to advance the measurement and education fields. In keeping with these goals, ETS is committed to making its research freely available to the professional community and to the general public. Published accounts of ETS research, including papers in the ETS Research Report series, undergo a formal peer-review process by ETS staff to ensure that they meet established scientific and professiona… Show more

“…In the first study, the tasks were administered to a sample of 59 novice teachers in the last year of their program. As reported in Phelps, Bridgeman, et al (2020), administration times were within the desired time parameters and human raters had an acceptable level of agreement for an initial pilot. Results from the pilot administration and scoring were reviewed to guide revision of eight RLA and eight mathematics tasks.…”

“…The focus of this study was on gathering input from teacher educators on the potential for using short performance tasks as part of their teacher preparation methods coursework. However, the potential uses for these performance tasks go substantially beyond providing opportunities to learn core practices as part of teacher preparation and also include uses such as diagnosing professional learning needs; delivering end‐of‐course evaluations; providing initial licensure; and studying, evaluating, and promoting teaching quality (Phelps, Bridgeman et al, 2020; Phelps & Sykes, 2020). Considering a more comprehensive set of uses could provide additional context for understanding the value of these tasks as tools to support professional learning.…”

“…Such costs would need to be balanced against the benefits of providing evidence of teaching competencies that focus directly on the work of teaching. However, preliminary research suggests that practice-based knowledge and performance tasks can be developed, scored, and administered in ways that are cost effective and that provide valid and reliable evidence of teaching competence (see for example, Mikeska et al, 2018; Phelps, Bridgeman, et al, 2020; Phelps, Steinberg et al, in press).…”
