Construction and Standardization of the Higher Secondary Teachers’ Decision Making Ability Scale

Abstract

An attempt has been made to construct and standardize the Decision Making Ability scale among the higher secondary school teachers. A well structured scale was administered among them. The sample consists of 100 school teachers randomly selected from the higher secondary schools situated in Nagapattinam District. Initially it was constructed with 70 statements posing a question which is related to Decision Making Ability generally. The scale was standardized using ‘r’ test and finally 35 statements were retained for the final study. The present research discusses about the development of the scale to measure the level of Decision Making Ability among the higher secondary teachers.
