Technical Series 93-1 - A study package for examining and tracking changes in teachers' knowledge.
Abstract
Three data collection instruments-an interview, observation guide, and questionnaire-used in the National Center for Research on Teacher Education (NCRTE) Teaching Education and Learning to Teach (TELT) study are presented in this study package. This resource provides detailed explanations of data collection strategy; interviewer preparation; actual questions, problem sets, and implications of interview responses; and interpretation implications of data analysis. The study package offers a "do-it-yourself guide" for teacher education program planners and researchers for use in examining teacher learning within teacher education programs. The materials can be used to track changes in conceptual understanding of both preservice and inservice teachers and as feedback for curricular development in teacher education programs.
