1. Exploring the T.R.Q. An Assessment of the Effectiveness of the Teachers' Rating Questionnaire. Paper No. 123.

Author

Abstract

This report assesses the validity, reliability, and efficiency of the Teachers' Rating Questionnaire (TRQ), a pupils' school success measure developed in connection with a 1961 longitudinal Study of Achievement. TRQ ratings on nearly 14,000 pupils, gathered in the Study of Achievement and a New Canadian Report, constituted the data source. Questionnaire performance was determined in a variety of ways: comparison of teachers' ratings and student promotions estimation of TRQ total score, section and question reliability; grade independence; and relationships between TRQ sections. In addition to a theoretical discussion of item effectiveness and correlations among items a detailed statistical analysis was undertaken of the ratings for a sample of students who had been assessed on all forms in the longitudinal study. While validity of TRQ adjustment and creative-expression sections was not directly demonstrated, a reasonable degree of correlation with other measures of academic success (standardized achievement test, I.Q., promotios) was found reflecting the overall validity of the TRQ, especially the performance section. A large part of the differences between any two sets of TRQ ratings were found due to differences in teacher interpretation and their perceptions of pupils. (Author/BJG) more...

Author

Abstract

This paper is part 3 of Research Department Report Number 123, "Exploring the T.R.Q.: An Assessment of the Effectiveness of the Teachers' Rating Questionnaire," which gave questionnaire users information necessary to tailor the instrument to their own needs. Retention of TRQ questions which generated good distributions of teacher ratings and which were nonredundant in relationship to other questions resulted in a standard form suitable for general applications. This supplement presents information about item selection along with a complete set of the four TRQ administration booklets as revised for (1) kindergarten, (2) grade 1, (3) grade 2, and (4) grade 3+.
