Abstract
A sample of 184 teachers was studied in relation to their first-person point of view of teaching effectiveness. A self-anchoring scale was employed as a measuring instrument. Results indicated that (a) female teachers mentioned individualized instruction as one of the essential characteristics of most effective teaching more frequently than did male teachers; (b) teachers’ mean ratings of teaching effectiveness increased progressively and significantly for 2 years ago, present time, 2 years from now, and 5 years from now; (c) the beginning teachers rated their teaching effectiveness for the present time significantly lower than teachers with more experience; (d) male teachers rated their teaching effectiveness for the present time significantly higher than did female teachers.
