Özet:

 


The purpose of this article is to report on the
development of a proof-of-concept situational judgment test (SJT) to assist in
the selection of candidates for primary teacher education (ITE) programs. Nine
development steps involving practising teachers, teacher educators, and
applicants to ITE programs were carried out to establish target attributes and
to develop content for the test. The results from administering the test to 124
primary ITE candidates showed a near-normal distribution, high levels of
reliability, and significant positive correlations with a range of concurrently
administered interview scores. We conclude with a description of the necessary
next steps needed to implement evidence-supported teacher education selection
processes in a range of international settings.
