Organizing lessons for heterogeneous learning groups is a challenge for student teachers and novice teachers. To observe and improve classroom management during student teaching, we have developed an assessment tool. The aim of this study is to evaluate and improve the instrument “Scale for Classroom Management in Inclusive Schools (InClass)” with data from 480 student teachers in internships at elementary or special schools in Germany and Austria.
The instrument consists of the three dimensions Adaptive Teaching Scale (ATS),
Relationship Scale (RS), Behavior Management Scale (BMS). Confirmatory factor
analyses revealed good reliable values (CFI = 0.97, TLI = 0.96, RMSEA = 0.06,
SRMR = 0.04) for the three-factor InClass model and could confirm the
theoretically developed scales. The latent correlations were between r = 0.74
and r = 0.63. Teachers in elementary schools also showed latent correlations
between the three dimensions and their assessment of the implementation of
inclusive education in the school ranging from r = 0.51 to r = 0.84. In order to
meet the individual needs of all students, with and without special educational
needs (SEN), novice teachers in particular should be supported in dealing with
heterogeneous learning groups and in using effective classroom management.
Instruments such as InClass help student teachers evaluate and reflect on
instruction and therefore have an important contribution to teacher education.
