Abstract
Ratings from a previous study of nine teaching behaviors of 112 preschool student teachers were analyzed using exploratory factor analysis. These teaching behaviors were observed and recorded using the Observer Rating Scales. Preschool student teachers in the study exhibited these teaching behaviors in their teaching performance in a laboratory school setting. Four latent variables were found to underlie these nine teaching behaviors: facilitating, interpersonal, interactive, and flexibility. These latent variables were positively correlated with each other. A path diagram of the student teaching behavior model showing the relationships among the teaching behaviors and latent variables is presented.
