School evaluation has been carried out actively in recent years, generating increasing progress in teacher evaluation. An effective implementation of a high quality evaluation depends on school evaluators’ familiarity of the principles of quality management system as well as their ability to seek evidences objectively. However, some schools in Taiwan did not completely agree with the school evaluators’ qualification method. This study aims to investigate the obstacle and solution of school evaluators’qualification from teachers at all levels of schools. To achieve the purpose, 19 evaluators were interviewed and questionnaires were administered to 2326 teachers to obtain their opinions concerning the obstacles for obtaining qualification and their strategy to cope with the matter. A total of 1670 questionnaires were collected with 71.8% response rate. A confirmatory factor analysis was conducted to obtain the convergent validity for the obstacle of school evaluators’ qualification, and the maximum likelihood estimation parameters was used to test each dimension of the obstacles of school evaluators’ qualification. The results are as follows: 1.The 15 obstacles of school evaluators’ qualification fall into three dimensions: intrinsic cognition, extrinsic motivation, and external environment. 2. There were 25 solutions to overcome the obstacle of evaluators’qualification that were highly-recognized, and the top three identified were: to establish agency for evaluators, to establish an evaluation system for evaluators and recognized trainees, and to pre-announce evaluation process and provide moderation mechanism. Based on the results, three concrete suggestions are provided. First, identify the responsible organizations to assist in overcoming the obstacles encountered in obtaining evaluators’ qualification. Second, continuously advocate the importance of the school evaluators’ professional development, shaping the need for school evaluators’ qualification in the academia. Third, deliberate the supporting measures of school evaluators’ qualification in advance. |
