| Abstract: | Purpose: The purpose of this research was to develop and validate an industrial arts teacher rating instrument. Procedure: A comprehensive list of industrial arts teacher rating items was compiled through the review of literature and solicitation of rating instruments from Texas supervisors of industrial arts. A teacher pool was identified by soliciting cooperation from the supervisors. Twenty-one supervisors agreed to cooperate and furnished teacher's names and addresses. Sixteen of these were chosen to participate in the study, providing a pool of 600 teachers. A teacher rating instrument consisting of 211 items was developed and submitted to a pilot group of fifty industrial arts teachers. Using the mean response scores from the pilot group, the instrument was revised and reduced to 174 items for submission to the primary teacher input sample. Returns from this group were used to select the upper quarter of the rating items for retention in the validation instrument. The validation instrument was submitted to Texas industrial arts supervisors for use in rating a sample of teachers.. |
