Publication Type: Symposium Paper Abstract: Researchers have collaborated across institutions to investigate teacher education faculty and teacher candidate perceptions of the authenticity of the Teacher Work Sample methodology (TWS). Building upon results from an earlier pilot study, adjustments were made in the methodology and data analyzed to discover how teacher candidates’ perceptions changed over the course of completing one, two, or three work samples, how faculty and teacher candidates perceptions compared, how perceptions varied from one institution to another, and what components of TWS participants believed were more or less valuable in the development of teacher effectiveness. A larger sampling of students and faculty was conducted using the changes recommended from the earlier pilot. In addition to data about the inception and development of TWS (Evolution Study) and the impact of TWS methodology on teacher candidates and K-12 student learning (Effect Study), the Experience Study team collected data to identify possible elements of the work sample process or product that might need reconsideration or modification in order to increase student teachers’ intrinsic motivation to conduct and complete work samples. Recognizing that the value added to the efficacy of a teacher education program by TWS methodology does not lie solely in the perceptions of teacher candidates or faculty, researchers nonetheless recognize the importance of an optimal balance between felt needs of participants and the purposes and objectives of the teacher educators.
