The rationale for and nature of the videotaped portion of the pedagogy test of the Content Mastery Examinations for Educators (CMEE) available in fall 1990 are evaluated. The videotape subtest described is expansive and time consuming, but appears to be effective and acceptable for its target audience of beginning teachers. Each form of the CMEE pedagogy test begins with approximately 15 videotape-based test items. Following the videotape portion of the test, examinees are administered approximately 120 multiple-choice, paper-and-pencil items. Live-action and scripted-staged approaches to video production are used in developing the tapes. Test items deal with central pedagogical concepts that are represented in the videotaped scenes. Test development staff have experimented with the use of selected-response and constructed-response items and chose the former for the CMEE pedagogy subtest. Kindergarten through grade 12 are represented in the videotape episodes. The subtest requires not only that examinees have a good working knowledge of pedagogical principles, but also be able to observe and identify the application or misapplication of those principles as they occur during classroom instruction. The tests can be tailored to meet specific state requirements. (TJH)
