The purpose of this study was to determine the perceptions of cooperating teachers regarding the importance of certain teacher traits, behaviors, and skills as predictors of a successful student teaching experience. The sample consisted of teachers who had served as cooperating teachers (N = 519). Participants rated a list of 40 teacher traits, behaviors, and skills based on their (perceived) importance as predictors of student teacher success. I constructed ranked lists for each demographic grouping of respondents by the mean score for each item, and these lists were examined using a method put forward by Teachout. Results revealed that the highest-rated items regardless of demographic grouping variables were demonstrating appropriate social behavior, stress management, fostering appropriate student behavior, establishing a positive rapport with others, and enthusiasm. All participant groups rated personal traits, behaviors, and skills as most important; followed by teaching traits, behaviors, and skills; then musical traits, behaviors, and skills. Content analyses of open-ended questions revealed that no items had a universal meaning among participants in this study.

本研究的目的是确定合作教师对某些教师特质、行为和技能作为成功学生教学经验预测因素的重要性的看法。样本包括曾担任合作教师的教师（N = 519）。参与者根据教师作为学生教师成功预测指标的（感知）重要性对 40 项教师特质、行为和技能进行了评分。我根据每个项目的平均分数为受访者的每个人口统计分组构建了排名列表，并使用 Teachout 提出的方法检查了这些列表。结果显示，无论人口统计学分组变量如何，评分最高的项目都表现出适当的社交行为、压力管理、培养适当的学生行为、与他人建立积极的关系和热情。所有参与小组都将个人特质、行为和技能评为最重要；其次是教学特征、行为和技能；然后是音乐特征、行为和技能。开放式问题的内容分析表明，在本研究的参与者中，没有任何项目具有普遍意义。
