Popis:	This article presents preliminary evidence in support of the construct validity for two versions of the Simulation of Interactive Decision Making. Both versions have been developed as group tests of interactive teaching competencies to simulate the decision-making process in the classroom more realistically than traditionally used pencil-and-paper tests. Both tests simulate the limited time allowed for making decisions in the classroom by projecting written descriptions of typical classroom situations that teachers may face in the classroom. The test specifications for each version were developed using a group of indicators of successful teaching specified by the Virginia Beginning Teacher Assistance Program (BTAP), and each situation was approved by a panel of experts that included teachers, administrators, and college faculty. Evidence of construct validity was gathered as the results of each test reflected differences among subjects with various amounts of training and experience.
