師資生之遴選－－教師意向量表之編製與施測

The development of Teacher Disposition Scale

本研究旨在編製一教師人格特質量表以適用於師資培育機構遴選具有優良教師意向的學生進入初等教育師資培育課程就讀。教師意向量表之編製經預試後，量表題目有43題，包括五個因素，總量表Cronbach’s a值.930，各分量表Cronbach’s a值分別為：因素一（尊重自己與他人）.865，因素二（成熟理性處理人事物）.844，因素三（積極參與且具教育專業性）.803，因素四（自我學習）.786，因素五（準時且負責任）.798。五因素可解釋變異量達47.550%。正式施測529位教育大學大一學生，其中男生148人，女生381人，總量表Cronbach’s a值.894。研究結果顯示本量表為一具有良好信效度之教師人格特質量表。藉由測驗工具，師資培育機構可以及早發現不適宜擔任教職的學生，避免其浪費金錢及時間在修習師培學程上。對師資培育機構而言，師資生的進退教育學程有一客觀式測驗工具做為參考的依據。

The objective of this study was to develop a teacher disposition scale for use in the elementary school teacher education program to screen the prospective students to enter the program.Totally 43 items were produced. The resulting instrument was named the Teacher Disposition Scale (TDS). Results of the factor analysis indicated that there were five interpretable factors in the TDS. The five factors were labeled: Factor I—respecting oneself and others, Factor II—dealing with things maturely, Factor III—participating actively and with education profession, Factor IV--self learning, and Factor V—being punctual and responsible. Cronbach's a for the total scale was .930 and Cronbach's a for each subscale was .865, .844, .830, .786, .798 and five factors explained 47.55% of total variation. Finally, the TDS was then administered to 529 freshmen (148male, 381 female) in a teachers college, located in Taiwan central geographical areas. Cronbach's a for the total scale was .894Overall, the findings indicated that the TDS is acceptably reliable for assessing the teacher disposition of prospective students to enter the teacher program in Taiwan.
