Abstract

The survey Performance Standards for Inservice Teachers is one of a battery used to help describe teacher skills in technology in an intervention based on a media and technology model, IMPACT. Available since 2001 for assessment or planning of professional development, the survey is based on the six constructs of the National Educational Technology Standards for Teachers. All six of the subscales of the survey were found to possess internal reliability of Cronbach's Coefficient Alpha greater than 0.93. The findings of confirmatory factor analysis were satisfactory and provide evidence of strong structural validity for the scale assessing both a six and one factor model. In addition, test-retest reliability was found to be statistically significant.
