Project Details
Description
Examining whether students are suitable for entering the education program from affective indicators other than cognitive ability will be the direction in the field of teacher education in various countries (Bardach, Klassen & Perry, 2021). In Taiwan, the Teacher Aptitude Assessment Battery (TAAB) previously developed, including Situational Judgment Tests for Teachers (Chao, Sung, & Haung, 2020), and Work Values Scale for Teachers (Chao, Sung & Hsu, 2018), and Computerized Personality Scale for Teachers (Chao & Sung, 2020), are currently available to teacher education universities across the country. However, in the use of TAAB, the results of these three tests are provided separately, and the teacher education units have asked whether there are comprehensive results of the three tests. Meanwhile, we are interested in that from the results of TAAB, how many types will students be classified? And what proportion of all students are students who are more suitable to become teachers? These are extremely important and interesting questions that can solve both practical needs and teacher educational theory. Therefore, this project proposes the probability view of the teacher education empowerment. It will be expected to explore how the results of TAAB of student teachers can be divided into how many categories, and to inspect whether such categories can indeed affect teachers' work performance and students' life adaptation and perceived teacher-student relationship. In the first year of this project, it will be estimated that through the latent class analysis, the existing TAAB data will be classified. Next, we will look for the external validity criteria of student teachers, such as whether they have obtained scholarship, to provide evidence that the classification is valid. In the second year of the project, we will expand the data collection to further validity of the classification through the work performance appraisal of the schoolsupervisor, the TAAB assessment by the teachers, and the students' life adaptation and teacher-student relationship questionnaires. This project is expected to bring good contributions in both theory and practice. In theory, thisproject can answer how many students currently have the potential to become good teachers, and explain the type of performance of such students in TAAB. Meanwhile, this project is also expected to be able to exam the impact of classifications on the teaching site. In practice, this project expects that the research results can feed back to TAAB so that the TAAB system can providemore information for teacher education units. These research results will ultimately benefit the domestic teacher education and education scene, and further promote Taiwan's national education. We believe that in the field ofteaching and teacher education, the research trend in the next ten years will be the ten years of “affection of teachers.” This project on TAAB research will ultimately benefit domestic teacher education, allowing student teachers with agreater chance of success in the future to enter the education scene, and comprehensively improve the achievement and well-being of teachers and students across the country.
