Abstract

• In this study is to measure professional capital of teacher educators by using teacher professional capital questionnaire. The teacher professional capital questionnaire was developed by Hargreaves and Fullan (2012). Professional Capital Survey for Teacher measures the systematic development and integration of three types of capital – human, social, and decisional – with the teaching profession”. The original questionnaire comprised of 36 items that separated into the three dimensions (human, social, and decisional) with a 5point Likert Scale. The researcher adapted the response scale to a 4point Likert Scale used (1= strongly disagree, 2= disagree, 3= agree, 4 = strongly agree) to get for a firm decision by the respondents. The aim of the study was to validate the professional capital questionnaire in a sample of teacher educators from Education Degree Colleges by using confirmatory factor analysis (AMOS). A total 370 teacher educators from the Education Degree Colleges were selected to examine the psychometric properties of the scale. The results of the confirmatory factor analysis showed that the model fits with the three factors structure (TLI=0.904, CFI= 0.914, SRMR= 0.059, RMSEA=0.038, p=0.00). Besides, the convergent and discriminant validity and internal consistency = 0.860 supports the accuracy of the 28 items of professional capital questionnaire that use in Myanmar to measure professional capital of teacher educators.
