The Development of Indonesian Teacher Competence Questionnaire
Abstract: The enhancement of
teacher’s quality is crucial, and it remains a challenge in Indonesia. As an
effort to achieve a better education quality, a comprehensive reformation of
the education system has to be done, especially regarding the aspect of
teacher’s quality. The cultural uniqueness may impact the different values of
competent teachers, make it typical to define a competence teacher from one
place to another. Up to the present, there have been wide variations of the
instruments used to measure teacher competence, but most are developed with
regards to the western culture. Therefore, the aim of this study was to develop
a culturally-sensitive instrument to assess teacher competence based on the
situation of the targeted country where the teacher resides. High schools
students in Jakarta and greater area participated in this study. Validity and
reliability testing were performed to confirm the psychometric property of
Teacher Competence Questionnaire (TCQ). It is concluded that TCQ is a valid and
reliable instrument to measure teacher competence. Several limitations related
to this study are discussed.
