Journal Title: Journal of Education and Literature - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Teaching Practices followed by teachers have been studied repeatedly by many researchers as an important factor that determines the quality of teaching and learning process as well as student achievement. It is vital to understand this aspect in order to improve the quality of an educational program as well as the faculty development programs. The objective of this study is to develop a standardized scale to identify the teaching practices followed by Pre- University. The scale consisted of demographic variables along with 23 items of the closed ended type to identify the teaching practices followed. 98 data sheets were selected for study after data cleansing. Statistical procedures were applied to the collected data in order to establish the reliability and validity of the scale. The development of the scale has been discussed in this study.
