Abstract :Introduction: There are eight key roles defined for trainers. The trainer is expected to identify their roles in a training program and maximize their potential. This study aimed to expand the “Questionnaire to Assess a Teacher’s Perception of Their Current Personal Commitment and Preferred Future Commitment to Each of the Eight Roles”, which was developed by Harden and Lilley 2018, and adapt it to Turkish. Method: The study was carried out in four faculties between 10 December 2018 and 30 August 2019. The original questionnaire, which questioned the roles of an educator over a total of eight items, was expanded in accordance with the source in which it was published. The psychometric analyses of the new scale consisting of 32 items were conducted. Results: The final version of the scale consisted of 29 items and eight subscales. The scale-based content validity index for the scale was calculated as 1.00. Cronbach`s alpha values for the Scale and its subscales were 0.95, 0.67, 0.90, 0.92, 0.87, 0.84, 0.88, 0.90, and 0.78, respectively. The item-total correlations for the scale and the Goodness of Fit model were deemed acceptable. Conclusion: The scale proved useful as a measurement tool for measuring educators’ current and future commitments to their eight roles. We recommend the scale for educator evaluation, needs assessment, and/or educator development training.
