| description | This paper investigates the extent to which the teacher factors of the dynamic model of educational effectiveness are related to each other forming stages of effective teaching. It also investigates whether teachers situated at higher stages are more effective than those situated at lower stages in terms of promoting student learning outcomes. All grade 4 teachers (<i>n</i> = 31) of eight schools and their students (<i>n</i> = 350) in the urban capital of Male’ city in the Maldives participated in this study. Teacher factors were measured through a student questionnaire. External tests were used to measure student achievement in English language at the beginning and end of the 2019–2020 school year. Teacher factors were grouped into six stages of teaching. Multilevel regression analysis revealed that students of teachers situated at higher stages have better learning outcomes than students of teachers situated at lower stages. Implications of findings for research, policy and practice are drawn. |
