Abstract
ABSTRACT Focusing on systematic observation, one of the most potent methods of studying teaching quality, represents one of the numerous contributions of Daryl Siedentop to the profession. While he had a clear focus on issues of validity and reliability concerning systematic observation, over the past decades, attention to such issues appears to have eroded. By drawing on Siedentop’s contribution to systematic observation and the guidance he provided on gathering quality data, in this paper we discuss the lessons learned from his work regarding what needs to be observed, how, by whom, and under what conditions – all addressing important validity and reliability issues. We argue that closely attending to these issues is critical not only for reinvigorating a research field initiated by scholars such as Siedentop but also for restoring its key role in studying teaching quality.
期刊介绍:
Quest is the official journal of the National Association for Kinesiology in Higher Education (NAKHE). It is the leading journal for interdisciplinary scholarship for professionals in kinesiology in higher education. Quest provides a public forum for scholarship, creative thought, and research relevant to a broad range of interests held by faculty and leaders in higher education today.
Quest publishes: 1) manuscripts that address issues and concerns relevant and meaningful to the field of kinesiology; 2) original research reports that address empirical questions that are contextualized within higher education and hold significance to a broad range of faculty and administrators in kinesiology; and 3) reviews of literature and/or research of interest to one or more sub-disciplines in kinesiology. Quest does not publish papers focused on sport (e.g., amateur, collegiate, professional) that are contextualized outside of kinesiology in higher education.
