Abstract

This study aimed to develop and validate a measurement scale for assessing the level of global competencies among school teachers. The study reviewed existing literature on the subject and identified three subdomains of global competence: 'Global Awareness', 'Global Attitudes', and 'Global Practices', with each subdomain further divided into three subfactors. The initial scale consisted of 54 items, with 6 items for each subfactor. It underwent primary modification (the total of 36 items) based on a focus group interview with 5 school teachers. In addition, 9 experts in educational measurement and evaluation conducted a review of content validity using written evaluations, which led to further revisions (the total of 27 items). The main test was conducted on 262 elementary school teachers nationwide using the revised scale, and the construct validity and reliability were examined. Consequently, the finalized version of the 'Global Competence Scale for School Teachers' demonstrated good content validitiy (average value of CVI = 0.98), construct validity (TLI=0.905, CFI=0.915, RMSEA=0.065, SRMR=0.076), and reliability (Cronbach's alpha=0.924).
