Abstract
A six-item scale, developed to measure “teacher awareness of goals of students” (TAGS), was used to explore relationships with existing measures of attitudes towards teaching in a graduate-student sample (N=123). TAGS was associated with greater endorsement of model teaching criteria, and student-focused as opposed to teacher-focused pedagogy.
