Educatorperceptions carry significant weight when interpreting behaviors, skills, and abilities of students(Beckford, 2016; Simson, 2013). Research that investigates the possible consequences ofeducator perceptions of African American males and the relationship of those perceptions tostudent outcomes is scant.This exploratory sequential research study reported psychometric properties of aninstrument developed to examine educator perceptions of African American males held by publiceducators in PreK12. Extant research suggests that educator perceptions of Black males are morenegative than those of noneducators (see Foster, 1995; Quinn, 2017). Specifically, overallperceptions of educators regarding African American males are negative (Fitzgerald, 2009;Foster, 1995; Jackson & Crawley, 2003). The instrument created for the present study will guidefuture research that will enable researchers to examine the relationships between educatorperceptions and outcomes for African American male students (e.g., eligibility in specialeducation for EBDs).Examining validity evidence for the public educator perceptions of African Americanmales survey (PEPAAMS) PreK12 revealed significant relationships between educators (1)answering on behalf of the average person and (2) self-reporting personal perceptions. This studyalso found that the adapted brief social desirability scale did not function as intended. TheABSDS was not a reliable measure to differentiate which dependent variable is best to use whenthere were different scores for personal and average perceptions of public educators using apaired samples t-Test and MANOVA. Due to the inadequacy of the ABSDS, findings revealedthat personal value statements were a better indicator for determining which perceptions scoreswere more reliable to use. Finally, this study concluded that educators who were truly lowprejudice (see Hing et al., 2008) were least likely to hold negative personal perceptions ofAfrican American male students. 2019-11-27 English text Bowling Green State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=bgsu1571837290653201 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=bgsu1571837290653201 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
