ABSTRACT Student ratings are a valid source of data for measuring teacher effectiveness. Students observe teachers more hours than administrators and are rather perceptive at measuring teachers’ instructional proficiency. Listening to students’ voices may offer key information about how teachers may best help students navigate their learning experiences in the classroom. Unfortunately, very few school districts invite feedback from students to glean insight into improving classroom learning. The purpose of the study was to examine elementary and secondary student perceptions of student teachers in a southeastern university who were assigned to teach in a number of schools in Kentucky. Students evaluated their student teachers through a survey on their level of support, transparency, understanding, discipline, engagement, nurturing, and trust. The results highlight some differences of students’ perceptions at grade levels, between genders and language learners, and among content areas and parent education levels. Implications of the results are discussed.

审查K–12学生对学生教师效能的看法

摘要学生评分是衡量教师效能的有效数据来源。与管理员相比，学生观察老师的时间要多得多，并且在衡量老师的教学水平上也比较敏感。倾听学生的声音可能会提供有关教师如何最有效地帮助学生在课堂上进行学习的关键信息。不幸的是，几乎没有学区邀请学生反馈以收集关于改进课堂学习的见解。这项研究的目的是研究东南大学的学生教师对初级和中级学生的看法，这些教师被分配在肯塔基州的许多学校任教。学生通过对他们的支持，透明，理解，纪律，敬业度，养育和信任水平的调查来评估他们的学生教师。结果突显了学生在年级，性别和语言学习者之间以及在内容领域和家长教育水平上的认知差异。讨论了结果的含义。
