Teacher Behavior Checklist Content Validity According to Brazilian Teachers and Undergraduates

Abstract

This research, divided into two studies, expanded the content validity examination of the Teacher Behavior Checklist (TBC). In Study 1, the objective was to identify the degree of relevance attributed by teachers and undergraduates to the 28 TBC items, based on what they consider to characterize an effective teacher. The participants of Study 1 were 85 teachers and 91 students from different Brazilian universities. They assessed the TBC items on a seven-point scale (ranging from “1 = totally irrelevant” to “7 = totally relevant”). Students (Mean = 5.7) and teachers (6.1) considered the TBC items to be relevant. Study 2 sought to identify the 10 most important TBC qualities based on student perceptions. The participants of Study 2 were 995 undergraduates whose choices of items corroborated results from previous TBC studies. These data encourage the use of TBC in teacher formative assessment and research on effective teaching.

“…Cumpre destacar, novamente, que nessas pesquisas pouca ênfase foi dada às qualidades mais valorizadas pelas mulheres. Mesmo no Brasil, país em que predominaram as mulheres nas coletas, não foi dada ênfase a essa população [Henklain et al 2020b].…”
