Swank, Jacqueline M.; Houseknecht, Alisa; Liu, Ren
Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education, v46 n3 p483-493 2021
Teaching is one of the primary roles of counselor educators; and, therefore, it is crucial to have psychometrically sound assessments to evaluate teaching competencies. This study focused on the development of the "Teaching Competencies Scale" (TCS). We conducted an exploratory factor analysis with 288 individuals and identified four factors with 48 items. Common model fit indices showed good fit for the four-factor model. The factors that emerged were: Factor 1: Instruction and Evaluation with 18 items; Factor 2: Knowledge, Ethics and Preparation with 15 items; Factor 3: Dispositions with nine items; and Factor 4: Behaviors and Technology Use with six items. Professionals can use the TCS for training, evaluation, and research.
