A job analysis was conducted to determine the knowledge important for newly certified or licensed teachers of art. The results of this job analysis will be used to develop test specifications for the art assessment of The Praxis Series of Professional Assessments for Beginning Teachers and to support the content validity of the assessment. Three successive drafts were reviewed and revised by advisory committees comprised of art teachers, teacher educators, and state administrators. The final draft domain consisted of 8 major knowledge areas and 307 knowledge statements. The revised domain was subjected to verification through a national survey mailed to 519 art teachers, 41 administrators, and 255 college faculty for a total of 815 practicing professionals who were asked to rate the importance of the knowledge statements. Of the 307 statements, 102 failed to meet the cutoff point for one or more subgroups of respondents. The remaining 205 statements should be used to develop test specifications for the assessment of knowledge for art teachers. Six appendixes contain supplemental information and the survey itself. Five tables present study findings. (Contains four references.) (SLD)
