The purpose of this study is to elaborate and validate a scale for the evaluation of the teachers' attitude towards quality management, by integrating elements of online education. Nine hundred and forty-two teachers from Romania have participated in the study. The exploratory factor analysis has led to the identification of three main dimensions of the scale: (1) communication and alignment; (2) needs and opportunities; and (3) training and support. Teachers participating in managing positions or in quality assurance boards indicated a more positive attitude towards the three components. Furthermore, teachers of a higher teaching experience reported higher values in the needs and opportunities component. The results are useful to educational institutions, program designers and policy makers to evaluate the teachers' attitude towards quality management.
本研究旨在通过整合在线教育元素,详细阐述和验证一个用于评估教师对质量管理态度的量表。罗马尼亚的 942 名教师参与了这项研究。探索性因素分析得出该量表有三个主要维度:(1)沟通与协调;(2)需求与机会;(3)培训与支持。参与管理职位或质量保证委员会的教师对这三个组成部分表现出更积极的态度。此外,教学经验更丰富的教师在需求和机会方面的得分更高。研究结果对教育机构、项目设计者和决策者评估教师对质量管理的态度具有重要意义。
