| Abstract: | The purpose of the study described in this paper was to use the Questionnaire on Teacher Interaction (QTI) to identify and
describe exemplary science teachers. With a sample of over 493 science students, the reliability of the QTI scales ranged
from 0.69–0.87. The exemplary teachers were identified as those whose students' perceptions were more than one standard deviation
above the mean on the scales of Leadership, Helping/Friendly, and Understanding and more than one standard deviation below
the mean on the Uncertain, Dissatisfied and Admonishing scales. The construct validity of the QTI to identify these exemplary
teachers was confirmed through interviews with students and these views are reported in the article.
