Improving Teacher Effectiveness Through Self-Assessment: A Case Study

Data-based approaches to music teacher education are premised on the notion that effective teaching can be defined, observed, measured and taught to prospective teachers in a systematic fashion. The sequence usually runs as follows: Teaching behaviors which have been found to be positively related to learning are predefined and an assessment technique is developed to monitor the occurrence of the defined behaviors. Data is collected at various points during the beginning, middle and end of instruction to help pinpoint the prospective teachers' strengths and weaknesses, and to locate areas needing improved instruction. Finally, revisions are made within the whole sequence after data has been collected, or as research establishes the effectiveness of various teaching behaviors and instructional techniques (Madsen & Yarbrough, 1980).
