الخصائص السيكومترية لمقياس السلوك القيادي لدى الطلاب المعلمين

الملخص EN

The present research aims at verifying the availability of some psychometric properties of the leadership behavior scale in terms of its reliability and validity.

In addition, the present research aims to identity the order of leadership behavior skills of student teachers, and also to set standards for the scale.

In its final form, the scale consists of (83) items distributed in (7) dimensions.

The possible responses are measured according to Likert Attitudes Scale, and each answer is assigned a weight as follows: "always"(five degrees), "often"(four degrees), "sometimes" (three degrees), "rarely" (two degrees), and "never" (one degrees).

The scale is applied to a sample of (200) student teachers selected randomly.

The following results are reached.

First, the scale has a high degree of stability since the indications of scale stability are measured using Cronbach_Alpha method, and the value of Alpha reaches (0.961).

Second, the scale possesses a high degree of validity, as the indications of validity are verified by three ways demonstrated as follows.

(A) The validity of the internal consistency of the scale; the correlation coefficients of items are measured, and the total score for the scale ranges between (0.689_0.335).

They are all statistically significant at the level of (0.05).

(B) Construct validity; the correlation is calculated between one dimension and another, and also between each dimension and the total score for the scale; it is found out that all correlation coefficients are positive and statistically significant at the level of (0.05), indicating a high construct validity.

(C) Factorial validity; Principal Components Analysis is used; orthogonal rotation is based on Verimax's method; and items with saturations of no less than (0.3) are selected.

In the light of the previous results, the two researchers recommend using the scale as a standardized tool for detecting the leadership behavior skills of student teachers in the Faculties of Education.
