Developing a List of Criteria for Assessing the Instruction Performance of Computer Science Teachers in Jordan Based on International Standards

Abstract

This study aimed at developing a list of criteria for assessing the instruction performance of Computer science teachers and identifying the extent of their achievement of it, and whether their estimates has difference according to their gender and teaching experience. The descriptive developmental methodologyvwas used. The sample included (223) randomly selected teachers. To achieve the aims of the study, an instrument was developed included a list of criteria for assessing the instruction performance of Computer science teachers; and distributed on five Subdomains: Computational culture; Evaluation skills; Information security; Technology ethics; and technological literacy. The instrument included (49) indicators reflecting teaching performance. The validity and reliability of the instrument were assured.

The results showed that the computer science teachers have highly achieved the proposed standards in their instructions, from their own point of view, and the results did not reveal a statistically significant difference between the averages of computer science teachers estimates of their achievement degree of the proposed standards according to the gender and teaching experience variables.
