Construction and validation of a test for evaluating the teaching process quality in physical education

Implementation quality of the teaching process is a basic assumption in attaining objectives and tasks of physical education. Previous research emphasise the importance of the quality of organising lessons through choosing adequate didactical procedures, didactical organisational forms and work forms (Prskalo & Babin, 2006 ; Prskalo, Findak & Babin, 2003 ; Prskalo & Findak, 2003). Therefore, it is crucial for kinesiological education to have the teacher’s work quality objectively assessed. Aim of this research is to construct a measuring instrument for assessment of parameters of the teaching process quality and to determine the instrument’s measuring characteristics. The experiment included 120 subjects, 55 female students and 65 male students from the University of Split, Faculty of Kinesiology. Data on the teaching process quality were collected by the use of a direct observation method of students’ public lessons with the use of a newly constructed instrument Teaching process evaluation questionnaire (UN1) by five evaluators who were all graduated kinesiologists. UN1 questionnaire consisted of 20 qualitative parameters divided in five groups according to articulation of the teaching lesson. Data processing included determining metric characteristics ; reliability and objectivity, sensitivity, distribution normality and factor validity. Correlation coefficient between certain items in both groups of subjects for different PE lesson parts (r>0.57) and the Cronbach’s α (>0.95) indicate an internal co-existence or a high reliability of the measuring instrument (Šošić & Serdar, 1994 ; Dizdrar, 2006). KS test results confirm normal data distribution for all variables, and with the distribution parameters they indicate a good instrument sensitivity. Factor analyses of the test components isolated a significant factor in both subsamples of subjects, which confirms that variables in the model evaluate the same measurement subject. Isolated factor explained 62 % of the overall variability of the principal measurement subject in both subsamples with the load factor higher than 0.60. The newly constructed measuring instrument Teaching process evaluation questionnaire (UN1) results in having good measuring characteristics in both subsamples of subjects. Based on the mentioned we can conclude that the measuring instrument enables collection of scientifically valid data and represents a valuable kinesiometric instrument for studying of the teaching process quality.
