The Project
The ReNEW research team was among the first in the world to develop reliable and predictive situational judgment tests (SJTs) to identify high-quality candidates for teaching.
SJTs are a scenario-based measurement method where individuals are presented with a range of workplace scenarios, and asked to evaluate the effectiveness of a list of possible courses of action. The judgment tasks in an SJT are designed to tap procedural awareness and are based on the notion that situation-specific judgments and responses reflect implicit personality traits that have a causal effect on job performance.
Research Question: How can we identify the most effective prospective teachers?
