How do teachers perceive and experience the impact of evaluation feedback across different areas of their work? Drawing on TALIS 2013 and latent class analysis of U.S. lower-secondary teachers (n=1,824), the study identifies four teacher groups based on perceived feedback impact: Receptive, Compliant, Motivated, and Indifferent. Feedback sources and teachers’ beliefs about evaluation purposes predict group membership. After accounting for individual and school-level factors, these groups differ significantly in their intention to change school.

Applying latent class analysis to the U.S. sample of lower-secondary school teachers (n=1,824), we find that there are four distinctive groups of teachers: Receptive (25%), Compliant (15%), Motivated (27%), and Indifferent (33%) . Our analysis shows feedback sources and teacher beliefs about the evaluation’s purpose are significant predictors of teacher class assignment. Finally, controlling for various individual and school-level characteristics, these teacher groups vary significantly in their intention to change school.

Al aplicar el análisis de clases latentes a lamuestra estadounidense de docentes de escuelas secundarias inferiores ( n=1.824), encontramos que hay cuatro grupos distintivos de docentes: receptivos (25%), obedientes (15%), motivados (27%) y Indiferente (33%) . Nuestro análisis muestra que las fuentes derespuestas de la evaluación y las creencias de los docentes sobre el propósito de la evaluación son predictores importantes de la asignación de clases de los docentes. Finalmente, controlando por diversas características individuales y a nivel de escuela, estos grupos de docentes varían significativamente en su intención de cambiar de escuela.
