Student Teacher Assessment of Content Knowledge (STACK) Pilot Test • Student Teacher: Sonya Arendt • Subject: 9th Grade Physical Science • Supervisor: Kevin Mason • Methodology: Videotaped a physical science lesson. The lesson was observed in person by the supervisor. The videotape was observed by three other observers: Dennis Weibel (Biology), Forrest Schultz (Chemistry), and Nelu Ghenciu (Math). Data was collected for inter-rater reliability.
Inter-Rater Reliability: Pedagogical Content Knowledge (Items E-H)
Inter-Rater Reliability: Pedagogical Content Knowledge (Items I-L)
Comments • “Missing the answer row for D” • “Liked the overall flow of the form.” • “This version of the STACK form was much easier to use.” • “It was not clear at times on how to separate out classroom management items in regards to elements on [the] form.” • “In this lesson, teacher reviewed test – used a significant amount of time – so I saw content, but difficult to evaluate. Would be easier if it were one entire lesson on a single piece of content.” • “The STACK observation form should only be used to observe lessons where a significant amount of content is being introduced in the lesson…The supervisor will need to carefully select the appropriate observation tool for the lesson.”
Implementation and Future Steps • Modify the STACK instrument for “STMED” courses at UW-Stout (funded by a UWSA TQI Grant). • Introduce STACK instrument in STMED 101 Intro. • Use STACK instrument for self and peer evaluation of microteaching in STMED 460 Methods. • Use STACK instrument during student teacher observations for lessons that present content.
