Developing, Testing and Implementing the Scale of Teachers’ Professional Well-Being

Abstract

The aim of this study was to develop and validate the Teachers’ Professional Well-being Scale. A total of 301 subject teachers working in primary and lower secondary public schools located in Aksaray province comprised the sample. In developing the scale we followed steps of scale development process and carried out EFA and CFA, examined item-total correlations (.43 < r < .68), and tested reliability (α=.90) of the scale. Depending on the data, we concluded that teachers have a good level of professional well-being ( x =5.74, Sd=.71) and they are eager to perform better their profession, to follow new developments and to try new things in teaching profession. Besides, the study displayed that teachers’ demographic characteristics are not meaningful variables in explaining variances of their perceptions of professional well-being.
