Abstract :Measurement and evaluation are critical elements in curriculum programs and for physical education insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(PE); teachers. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to establish the validity and reliability of the Measurement and Evaluation of Common Competency Perception insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(MECCP); Scale for in-service PE teachers insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(n=878);. For construct validity, Exploratory Factor Analysis insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(EFA); and Confirmatory Factor Analysis insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CFA); insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(n=440); were conducted with two different samples. According to the EFA results insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(n=438);, the three-factor MECCP Scale contained 23 items. After CFA insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(n=440);, the three-factor structure was 23 items using Schumacker and Lomax LISREL analyses. Findings indicated good fit indices with χ2/sd=4.83, RMSEA=0.09, CFI=0.96, IFI=0.96, and NFI=0.95. In addition, Cronbach alpha scores were calculated as 0.50-0.77. In conclusion, the MECCP Scale was found to be valid and reliable for Turkish in-service PE teachers and is therefore highly recommended to evaluate in-service PE teacher`s perceptions of the measurement and evaluation of common competency and also to establish new experimental designs to support the development of general efficiency levels of measurement and evaluation by PE teachers.
