Teacher Locus of Control
Item and Biserial Item Correlations
1. When the grades of your students improve‚ it is more likely .30
I+ a. because you found ways to motivate the students‚ or
b. because the students were trying harder to do well.
2. Suppose you had difficulties in setting up learning centers for students in your classroom. Would this probably happen .41
a. because you lacked the appropriate materials‚ or
I- b. because you didn't spend enough time in developing activities to go into the center?
3. Suppose your students did not appear to be benefiting from a more individualized method of instruction. The reason for this would probably be .45
I- a. because you were ha‎ving some problems managing this type of instruction‚ or
b. because the students in your class were such that they needed a more traditional kind of approach.
4. When a student gets a better grade on his report card than he usually gets‚ is it .38
a. because the student was putting more effort into his schoolwork‚ or
I+ b. because you found better ways of teaching that student?
5. If the students in your class became disruptive and noisy when you left them alone in the room for five minutes‚ would this happen .41
I- a. because you didn't leave them interesting work to do while you were gone‚ or
b. because the students were more noisy that day than they usually are?
6. When some of your students fail a math test‚ it is more likely .31
a. because they weren't attending to the lesson‚ or
I- b. because you didn't use enough examples to illustrate the concept.
7. Suppose you were successful at using learning centers with your class of 30 student. Would this occur .29
I+ a. because you worked hard at It‚ or
b. because your students easily conformed to the new classroom procedure?
8. When a student pulls his or her grade up from a "C" to a "B‚" it is more likely
I+ a. because you came up with an idea to motivate the student or
b. because the student was trying harder to do well.
9  Suppose you are teaching a student a particular concept in arithmetic or math and the student has trouble learning it. Would this happen .43
a. because the student wasn't able to understand it‚ or
b. because you couldn’t explain it very well?
10. When a student does better in school than he usually does‚ is it more likely .36

14. If one of your students couldn't do a class assignment‚ would it be .46

her answers. This would more likely happen .22
a. because the student finally encountered a topic of interest to him or her‚ or

22. If the student in your class performed better on a standardized achievement test given at the end of the year compared to students you had last year‚ it would probably be .35
I+ a. because you put more effort into teaching this year‚ or
b. because this year’s class of students were somewhat smarter than last year’s.
