Abstract:

Content validity of the assessment instrument for school teacher’s job autonomy is done through a systematic two-stage process which is instrument development and pre-testing. The content validity of the instrument was investigated based on the view of six domain experts. The item content validity index (I-CVI) and scale content validity index (S-CVI) were implemented for content validity. Four dimensions namely; responsible, approachable, showing respects and conveys confidence having 5 items each were identified. The item content validity index (I-CVI) ranged from 0.97 to 1.00 andthe scale content validity index (S-CVI/Ave) for responsible, approachable, showing respects and conveys confidence dimension of job autonomy were 0.97, 0.97, 0.97 and 1.00 respectively. The instrument is assessed with high content validity. The future research can ensure checking the instrument for reliability and other forms of validity such as face, construct, and criterion validity for better applicability of the assessment instrument.
