本研究探讨教师执照考试成绩与学生考试成绩及高中课程选修之关系。我们专注于三个科目/年级组合中学数学，九年级代数和几何，九年级生物学，并找到证据表明，教师的基本技能测试成绩是适度预测学生在中学数学成绩和高度预测学生在高中生物学成绩。一个教师的特定科目的执照考试成绩是一个一致的和统计学上显着的预测学生的成绩只在高中生物。最后，我们发现很少有证据表明，分配给中学教师的学生具有较高的基本技能考试成绩更有可能在高中学习高级数学和科学课程。(C)2017爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
We investigate the relationship between teacher licensure test scores and student test achievement and high school course-taking. We focus on three subject/grade combinations-middle school math, ninth grade algebra and geometry, and ninth-grade biology-and find evidence that a teacher's basic skills test scores are modestly predictive of student achievement in middle school math and highly predictive of student achievement in high school biology. A teacher's subject-specific licensure test scores are a consistent and statistically significant predictor of student achievement only in high school biology. Finally, we find little evidence that students assigned to middle school teachers with higher basic-skills test scores are more likely to take advanced math and science courses in high school.
