Measuring Teachers’ Reflection: Development and Validation of a Reflective Teaching Test

Summary/Abstract: As the importance of reflective teaching is increasingly acknowledged, the need for its assessment is seen more essential. This study designed and validated a scale measuring reflective teaching in an EFL context. In doing so, a test comprising of 24 scenarios in a multiple-choice format was developed and administered to 120 Iranian EFL teacher participants. The scale’s reliability was obtained to be 0.75 using Cronbach’s alpha. In order to determine the construct validity of the tentative test, it was subjected to a series of factor analysis. The findings showed that the newly designed test could be used to measure reflective teaching. Some implications were suggested in the context of language teaching.
