Accuracy of Teacher Reports of Their Classroom Behavior.

Hook, Colin M.; Rosenshine, Barak V.

Review of Educational Research, v49 n1 p1-11 Win 1979

Eleven studies of the accuracy of teachers' reports of their classroom behavior are summarized. Teacher reports of specific behaviors were not very accurate, but grouping answers into dimensions resulted in greater correspondence between teacher reports and observations. Self-reports used to classify teachers on a continuum appeared trustworthy. (RD)
