Abstract
Although teacher noticing is regarded as a critical component of teacher expertise that matters for student learning, empirical evidence verifying the relationship between teacher noticing and student learning outcomes is scare. Using a relatively large-scale sample involving 189 middle school biology teachers from 156 schools and their students ( n = 7,086), this quantitative study investigated the association between teachers’ level of noticing, measured by a standardized video-based instrument, and student achievement. An analysis utilizing two-level hierarchical linear modeling revealed a significant and positive association between teachers’ level of noticing and student learning outcomes. Specifically, the proportion of variance explained was 0.383. Our study offers robust and timely evidence that verifies the core assumption underpinning teacher noticing research as well as professional development efforts focusing on teacher noticing. Implications for teacher noticing research and teacher professional development are discussed.
期刊介绍:
The mission of the Journal of Teacher Education, the flagship journal of AACTE, is to serve as a research forum for a diverse group of scholars who are invested in the preparation and continued support of teachers and who can have a significant voice in discussions and decision-making around issues of teacher education. One of the fundamental goals of the journal is the use of evidence from rigorous investigation to identify and address the increasingly complex issues confronting teacher education at the national and global levels. These issues include but are not limited to preparing teachers to effectively address the needs of marginalized youth, their families and communities; program design and impact; selection, recruitment and retention of teachers from underrepresented groups; local and national policy; accountability; and routes to certification. JTE does not publish book reviews, program evaluations or articles solely describing programs, program components, courses or personal experiences. In addition, JTE does not accept manuscripts that are solely about the development or validation of an instrument unless the use of that instrument yields data providing new insights into issues of relevance to teacher education (MSU, February 2016).
