The purpose of this study was to develop a Teachers' Differentiated Instructional Behaviors Observation Scale (Students' Version). The teacher behaviors in this scale are rated by students. It is a four-point Likert-type scale with 40 items designed to help teachers understand the frequency of their differentiated instructional strategies based on students' perception. The constructs of differentiated instruction in this Scale included: accommodation of curriculum contents, providing complicated contents, assisting students in developing metacognition strategies, keeping the instruction process flexible, promoting problem-solving skills, encouraging critical thinking, illustrating research strategies, carrying out multiple assessments, teaching assessment skills, and creating a free and interactive environment. 898 students from elementary schools, junior high schools, and senior high schools in Taiwan participated in the scale development and validating process. The results of the confirmatory factor analysis were provided. The Cronbach α was .97. These outcomes indicated that the internal consistency and construct validity are both acceptable. |
