Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Thesis / Dissertation Description
Fifty-one middle school teacher volunteers in an urban, Midwestern school district were surveyed to determine their personality and temperament type using the 93 forced choice question Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) Self-Scorable Form M. Each question contained two options and each question was weighted “1”. Two administrators rated those same teachers' teaching effectiveness using the 34 question Teacher Effectiveness Survey (TES). There were three subscales on the TES; instructional performance, professional development, and leadership skills. The Overall score included all three subscales' mean scores. A 5-point Likert scale with 1 as “Poor” and 5 as “Excellent” was used on the TES. Percentages and modes were determined for personality types and means and standard deviations were calculated to determine teaching effectiveness. Chi-Square Tests of Independence were calculated to determine if there was a statistically significant relationship between teacher personality temperament types and years of experience and core vs. non-core teaching. Multiple t-tests were calculated to determine if there was a statistically significant relationship between teachers' effectiveness scores and core vs. non-core teaching. The one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to determine if there was a statistically significant relationship between teachers' effectiveness scores and years of teaching experience (current and overall) as well as the relationship between teaching effectiveness and teachers' personality temperament types. There was a statistically significant relationship in the Leadership Skills category of teaching effectiveness and current years of teaching experience. Teachers with 11–15 years of current teaching experience (M = 3.72, SD = 0.28) were rated significantly higher than teachers with 1–5 years of current teaching experience ( M = 2.30, SD = 0.88). Although no other statistically significant relationships were found, the data provided information regarding the need for staff development to improve teacher effectiveness. In addition, the data provided information that would encourage further investigation into the relationship between teacher personality and teacher effectiveness.
