Excerpt from Methods for Measuring Teachers' Efficiency The measurement Of teaching efficiency is related to the efficiency Of the school in three fundamental ways: I. Vocational guidance of teachers requires a method for determining their relative merit.

Excerpt from Measuring Teaching Efficiency Kent Maddock and Carrigan appear to be typical of the differences in structure. Functions of score cards. Score cards for measuring teaching efficiency fulfill two functions. They may be used by the superin tendent for administrative purposes such as a basis for determining reemployment, promotions and salary increases or they may serve as a means for improving the teachers in service. When used for ad ministrative purposes the rating should be made by the superintend ent, the principal or other supervisory officials. When the function of the score card is that of teacher improvement it has been recom mended that each teacher be asked to rate himself. This process of rating, however, is considered self-analysis rather than measurement. In some cases a preliminary rating has been made both by the prin cipal or special supervisor and by the teacher and a final rating given by the superintendent after he has compared the results of the two ratings and has conferred with the individual teachers regarding any special characteristics of strength or of weakness.

Excerpt from The Measurement of Teaching Efficiency Efficiency in any work deals with details and particulars which are so numerous that standards and measures must be explicit and definite. To state that efficiency is the process by which to secure the maximum of result with the minimum of work and ma terial is to stir up further inquiries as to what a good result is and how it may be attained. General directions and principles are here of little use for quiet effective ao tion, and for products economically brought forth. On this account, any practical scheme for measuring the efficiency of teaching must be extremely detailed and specific.

Excerpt from Measuring Teaching Efficiency Among College Instructors The effectiveness of instruction is a professional phrase com monly employed to designate two distinct things. It may refer to the superiority of a certain teaching method or procedure over another or it may indicate the amount of teaching skill possessed by one individual as contrasted with others. Both uses postulate the existence of at least one index, mark, or criterion, by means of which the relative excellence of a device or a person may be asoer tained. The reasons for selecting some signs rather than others as symptomatic of various degrees of competence are generally obscure, and the justification of the choice normally rests upon social or philosophical grounds which the positive scientist accepts as ultimate, even though he may be fully aware of their tentative character.

Excerpt from The Question as a Measure of Efficiency in Instruction: A Critical Study of Class-Room Practice The question and answer type Of recitation, when rightly used, is more fruitful for the teaching process than any of these three recognized media Of instruction, the topical recitation, the written lesson, or the lecture. The topical recitation is a method em ployed for repeating facts that are presented and systematized by someone else; the written lesson is a test of the facts a stu dent possesses and, at best', his method Of classifying them; the lecture is a pouring in process. The question and answer recitation may become a conversation hour between teacher and pupils, a period Of richest opportunity for true education, i.e., the leading out of what is in the mind of the pupil. It can be a time when the mind Of the teacher comes into closest touch with the will and the emotions Of his pupil, guiding and directing him-towards standards Of thought and action far beyond the ken Of youth. It can be a time of richest opportunity for the teacher to ascertain just where to set his pupils adrift in thought life to do independent intellectual work in accordance with their ability, and SO to grow in the power to think and to act for themselves. It can be the time for the teacher to discover the possible avenues Of a pupil's own initiative and to give him the right impetus.

Excerpt from Measuring the Results of Teaching Within recent years a number of personal-estimate scales have been devised by students and superintending officers for charting, in visual form, the important characteristics of teachers.

The aver age teacher does not improve herself because she does not, in the first place. Know where her chief weaknesses are.
