Compilation and Examining the Validation of a Questionnaire Regarding Teachers' Effective Teaching Method

The present study aims at compiling a questionnaire and measuring its reliability and validity for assessing the teachers' effective teaching method. In order to reach the research goal, 422 of teachers teaching in Hamedan schools were selected to complete the questionnaires. The validity of the questionnaire was assessed using factor analysis. Afterwards, 8 factors were extracted. Based on research theoretical framework and the questions posed by the agents, these factors were named as: holestic teaching, identifying and solving learning problems, lesson planning, creating a learning climate, evaluating, creating a positive atmosphere in the classroom, time management and using positive amplifiers. The reliability of the questionnaire was also estimated using Cronbach's alpha coefficient. According to the results, the alpha coefficients of the eight factors were satisfactory. The smallest alpha coefficient was for time management (0.75) and the largest coefficient was obtained for holistic teaching (0.81). The overall reliability coefficient of the questionnaire was 0.93.
