Abstract :
Abstract: This research was conducted in a combined method with the aim of designing and validating an Instrument to measure the professional competencies of student teachers. The intended Instrument included three dimensions of knowledge, skill, and attitude, which dimension of knowledge had sub-tests of content knowledge (6 items), pedagogical knowledge (19 items), and technological knowledge (9 items), and the skill dimension also had sub-tests of knowledge pedagogical content knowledge in practice (19 items) and technological pedagogical content knowledge in practice (19 items). Also, in the dimension of attitude, the attitude of student teachers and teachers towards teaching, learning, and learner is evaluated with 56 items. In this Instrument, in order to assess the knowledge of the test; In order to evaluate the skills, the checklist is used, and in order to assess the attitude, the attitude meter questionnaire is used. In the knowledge section, content knowledge, pedagogical knowledge, and technological knowledge are evaluated through tests. In the skill section, after observing the practical teaching of the student teacher, the checklist is completed by the evaluator; In the attitude section, in order to measure the attitude, the attitude gauge questionnaire is completed by the student teacher. In order to measure the validity of the professional competence Instrument from the point of view of experts and the validity coefficient of CVR was used. The reliability coefficient (0.82) was calculated and showed that the instrument has a high reliability coefficient. Cronbach's alpha coefficient was also used to measure the instrument's reliability. .
