From exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis procedures, two underlying dimensions were revealed. The dimensions appeared analogous to Joseph Lowman's proposed two-dimensional model of mastery teaching and therefore the dimensions were labeled: Intellectual Excitement and Interpersonal Rapport. Afterwards, a path analysis was utilized in order to investigate the relationship of the dimensions with a global rating item of instructor effectiveness. The results indicated that the dimension of Interpersonal Rapport accounted for 81% of the variance for overall instructor (lecturer) effectiveness.electronicengCopyright © is held by the author.
