Classroom Observation Data: Is It Valid? Is It Generalizable? A Compendium of Methodological Papers.
Borich, Gary; And Others
The issues discussed in these four papers concern the validity and generalizability of classroom observation instruments. These issues have been studied and are reported here in an attempt to better define the limits to which classroom observation instruments can be used in researching relationships between teacher behavior and student outcome. The premise undergirding these investigations is that before consistent and positive process-product relationships can be found, investigators must be cognizant of the sources of variance which affect the validity and generalizability of their process measures and which, in turn, affect the credibility of their research findings. The four papers are: "Convergent and Discriminant Validity of Five Classroom Observation Systems: Testing the Model" by G. Borich, D. Malitz, C.L. Kugle, and M. Pascone; "Generalizability of Teacher Behaviors Across Classroom Observation Systems" by D. Calkins, G. Borich, M. Pascone, and C.L. Kugle; "Measuring Classroom Interactions: How Many Occasions Are Required to Measure Them Reliably?" and "Generalizability of Teacher Process Behaviors During Reading Instruction" both by O. Erlich and G. Borich. (RC)
