Abstract

Educators perform a cardinal part in the impartation of quality education. Teacher competence and its enhancement has humongous significance in forming the new terrain of the twenty-first century which demands holistic development. The investigators have validated the Teacher Competence Questionnaire (TCQ) by Meicky Shoreamanis Panggabean and Karel Karsten Himawan (2016) in Indian context, which was developed to measure teacher competence. It follows a Likert-scale rating format with Student Assessments of Teachers (SETs) method. The tool has 42 items across five dimensions- Professional Knowledge (5 items), Professional Skills (17 items), Personal Characteristics (8 items), Personal Ethical Standards and Values (7 items), and Professional Development and Lifelong Learning (5 items). Based on a sample of 350 senior secondary students (56% males; 44% females) across four districts in the state of West Bengal, India, analysis was conducted through descriptive statistics such as Mean, Median and Test of normality, Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) Test, Bartlett’s Test of Sphericity (BTS), Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and Cronbach’s Alpha using AMOS v26 and SPSS v23. The empirical evidence determined an excellent fit of the retained 23 items in final version with a Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of 0.661, and can be utilized in the Indian context to measure competence of the teacher.
