Abstract
This thesis assesses the psychometric properties of a measure of teacher expertise/ effectiveness, The Measure of Processes of Teaching (MPOT). A survey was completed by 142 students (69 boys and 73 girls) in grades 4 to 8. The MPOT demonstrated acceptable levels for test-retest reliability, and internal consistency. Construct validity was assessed using Factor Analysis, resulting in a 17-item questionnaire. Three underlying factors were found, Positive Teacher-Student Relationships, Cognitive Engagement, and Personal Control. The MPOT demonstrates acceptable measurement properties when applied in an educational setting, and when used, would benefit both teachers and students.
