Determination of Teacher Qualifications from the Perspective of Stakeholders: Rubric Development Study

Abstract

The aim of this study is to develop a rubric to determine the qualifications of teachers, one of the most important elements of education. There are many measurement tools in the literature. One of the alternative and authentic assessment tools is rubrics, also known as rubrics. Rubrics have been defined in many studies in the literature. In the study, the rubric development stages suggested by Goodrich Andrade were taken into account. The rubric was created after the reliability studies of the rubric form were completed. In the research, an analytical rubric with 37 items was developed to be used in determining ‘the qualified teacher.’ The Cronbach alpha reliability coefficient of the developed measurement tool was found to be.96. Based on the results obtained from the research, it can be stated that the developed rubric is a valid and reliable measurement tool that can be used in the qualitative evaluation of teachers teaching all levels. The findings showed that the rubric had high agreement and reliability values among different stakeholder groups. Therefore, it can be said that this study provides a basis for Türkiye in determining teacher qualifications for science education, especially in the field of education. The developed rubric serves as a valid and reliable measurement tool, contributing to the objective assessment of teacher performance across all levels of the education process. © 2024, Ozgen Korkmaz.
