Abstract

Teachers’ informatization teaching ability (TITA) is the core ability of teachers to engage in educational activities in the informatization environment. It is an essential indicator of the quality of education and affects teachers’ professional development in the technological age. To get a precise teachers’ informatization teaching ability scale and to measure TITA more accurately, the quality of existing scales needs to be improved. This study analyzed and generalized definitions, models and frameworks for TITA, proposed a four-dimension model (teachers’ informatization teaching metacognitive ability, informatization teaching design ability, informatization teaching implementation ability and informatization teaching evaluation ability), and developed the TITA scale. Three experts were involved in the content validity of the TITA scale process. A total of 403 valid questionnaires answered by Chinese primary and secondary school teachers were used to test the reliability and convergent validity of the scale. The results showed that the TITA scale has high reliability and good validity, and it can be used to evaluate TITA in future studies. The TITA scale also provided a theoretical framework to help teachers consider how to transfer knowledge and skills to students by various technologies more effectively.
