Accuracy of teachers' judgments of students' academic achievement: A meta-analysis

Südkamp, Anna, Kaiser, Johanna, Möller, Jens·2012·Journal of Educational Psychology

Abstract

This meta-analysis summarizes empirical results on the correspondence between teachers' judgments of students' academic achievement and students' actual academic achievement. The article further investigates theoretically and methodologically relevant moderators of the correlation between the two measures. Overall, 75 studies reporting correlational data on the relationship between teachers' judgments of students' academic achievement and students' performance on a standardized achievement test were analyzed, including studies focusing on different school types, grade levels, and subject areas. The overall mean effect size was found to be .63. The effect sizes were moderated by use of informed versus uninformed teacher judgments, with use of informed judgments leading to a higher correspondence between teachers' judgments and students' academic achievement. A comprehensive model of teacher-based judgments of students' academic achievement is provided in the Discussion. Supplemental materials: http://dx.doi.org/10.1037/a0027627.supp

  • The shared variance between student characteristics and teacher expectations in the German language domain and in mathematics was approximately 35%.

    “The shared variance between student characteristics and teacher expectations in the German language domain and in mathematics amounted to approximately 35%, corresponding to estimates reported in the available meta-analyses (Hoge & Coladarci, 1989; Südkamp et al., 2012).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
