TEDS-M 2008 OUTCOME MEASURES

Assessment domain(s)
  • Teachers‘ mathematics content knowledge
  • Teachers‘ mathematics pedagogical content knowledge
TOP
Achievement and test scales
Scale Creation

The achievement scales were established using item response theory, specifically the Rasch model.

Scale scores range from 0 to 1000; the international scale mean and standard deviation are 500 and 100, respectively.

 

Anchor Points

Mathematics Content Knowledge (MCK) and Mathematics Pedagogical Content Knowledge (MPCK) are reported in reference to the following anchor points:

  • Primary
    • MCK scale
      • Lower (431)
      • Higher (516)
    • MPCK scale
      • [no label] (544)
  • Lower secondary
    • MCK scale
      • Lower (490)
      • Higher (559)
    • MPCK scale
      • [no label] (509)

The descriptions of the competencies of students at these anchor points were determined by means of a scale-anchoring process.

Questionnaire and background scales
Scale Creation

The TEDS-M database contains several scales for data on future teachers and educators.

Scales were calculated using item response theory (IRT), specifically the Rasch model.
