| Summary: | Teaching and Learning Guiding Principles (TLGP) describes an organization’s beliefs and philosophy pertaining to
quality assurance and performance improvement which guides the ‘what’, ‘why’ and ‘how’ of its activities. It is
also a statement on the scholarship of teaching and learning and a reference guide to good practice specifically for
teacher education institutions. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the face and content validity of a Teaching
and Learning Guiding Principles Instrument (TLGPI). An expert panel of nine academicians in the field of teacher
education reviewed and rated the TLGPI for the relevance and representativeness of each item based on a
dichotomous rating of favourable or unfavourable. Their ratings were used to seek an agreement between the two or
more raters in Cohen’s Kappa Index (CKI) and also to calculate the Content Validity Index (CVI) values of each
final item. The percentage inter-rater agreement yielded at 70% of agreement in CKI. Items with CVI greater than
0.78 were included in the final instrument. The final instrument contained 67 items of 5-point Likert scale multiple
choice options, categorised under six thematic domains namely (1) intellectual excitement; (2) quality learning
spaces; (3) constructive alignment; (4) international and cultural diversity; (5) climate of inquiry and critical
reflection; and finally (6) nurture good values, attitude and behaviour. The finding supports the face and content
validity of this 67-item questionnaire, hence could be further researched on construct validity. |
