Using Surveys of Enacted Curriculum to Advance Evaluation of Instruction in Relation to Standards

Evaluation of Pre-service Teacher Preparation for Achieving the National Standards for Beginning Physical Education Teachers

“…However, little is known about how well physical education teacher education programs prepare their pre-service teachers for acquiring a foundation of knowledge, skills, and dispositions. Recent research supports the notion that selfassessment serve as one of practical measuring tools for assessing teachers' performance in achieving the teaching standards (Blank, 2002;Mullens, 1998). Comparing self-report survey data collection with observation of classes and logs data collection, Mullens (1998) reported that the self-report data were highly correlated with the results collected from observation of classes and daily log.…”

“…Comparing self-report survey data collection with observation of classes and logs data collection, Mullens (1998) reported that the self-report data were highly correlated with the results collected from observation of classes and daily log. Similarly, Blank (2002) examined the use of survey enacted-curriculum analyzed teachers' classroom practice and self-report data. The findings indicated that selfreport survey provided reliable and comparable data on discerning teachers' instruction practices in alignment with the teaching standards for math and science education.…”

Development of a Questionnaire for Self-Evaluation of Teacher Effectiveness in Physical Education (SETEQ-PE)

“…Research supports the notion that self-assessment serves as a tool for practical assessment of teachers' performance in achieving the teaching standards (e.g., Blank, 2002). However, teachers in Greece are informally evaluated by students, parents, and colleagues, or they self-evaluate (Katsarou & Dedouli, 2008) because of the absence of national teacher standards.…”

Alignment of Standards, Assessment and Instruction: Implications for English Language Learners in Ohio

“…Researchers and evaluators have begun to study new ways to measure change in instruction related to standards and to determine the effects of changes in teaching practices on student learning. One of the schoolbased factors that some researchers are now investigating is the alignment among standards, instruction, and assessment and its impact on academic achievement (Blank, 2002).…”

“…The SEC process provides data sets that can be used to determine the correlation of instructional content and policy instruments such as assessments or standards. Data sets are then visually displayed to allow the analysis of variation in curriculum and to determine content areas that can be improved both instructionally and in assessment design (Blank, 2002). The work of two researchers served as the basis for the SEC development: Andrew Porter, University of Pennsylvania (former director of the Wisconsin Center for Education Research [WCER]), and John Smithson, senior associate at WCER (Blank, Porter, & Smithson.…”
