Teacher Perceptions of Classroom Quality (T-POCQ)
The Teacher Perceptions of Classroom Quality (T-POCQ), a parallel form of Student Perception of Classroom Quality (SPOCQ), assesses teacher perceptions of the same constructs assessed by SPOCQ: meaningfulness, challenge, choice, self-efficacy, and appeal. These constructs are important educational outcomes that relate directly to student achievement in any content area. Teachers who complete the T-POCQ concurrently with their students who complete the SPOCQ can quickly compare their perceptions about these important motivational constructs with their students’ perceptions.
​
T-POCQ may be used in conjunction with SPOCQ for teachers’ personal improvement plans and action research as well as in the larger school-improvement process to assess current perceptions, evaluate classroom quality, set goals and measure progress, and conduct educational research. Further, in schools that have Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, honors, and Career Technical Education classes, teacher and student perceptions of these classes and comparisons of their perceptions with those of general education teachers and students can provide insights concerning whether, and how, these classes differ from each other.
