Dear Janitha,

Have a look at this paper:

John T. E. Richardson (2005) Instruments for obtaining student feedback: a review of the literature, Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education, 30:4, 387-415, DOI: 10.1080/02602930500099193.

Janitha Kularajasingam;

These are not really questionnaires; however, they show studies that were done and perhaps they can be of some use to you. 

Good Luck!

The first one I copied and pasted the abstract for you..  :-)

" What core competencies are related to teachers' innovative teaching?"

Abstract

"The purpose of this study is to investigate teachers' core competencies in relation to their innovative teaching performance. Based on the literature and previous studies in this field, four competencies (learning competency, educational competency, social competency and technological competency) are theorised as core competencies for teachers' innovative teaching. A questionnaire on teachers' core competencies and innovative teaching performance was developed and tested. The findings indicate that teachers' educational competency, social competency and technological competency were positively related to their innovative teaching performance. The study also shows that a supportive relationship with colleagues is important for teachers' innovative teaching performance. The theoretical and practical implications are discussed"

Thank you so much for all your responses :)

The article The concept of competence in the French-language literature may help you. You can download it on ResearchGate here!

Article The concept of competence in the French-language education literature

What level of teaching?  And you are looking for a list of teacher core competencies, not student learning competency?

HI for all

Try to use following articles, may be helpful.

Regards

Dear Janitha,

Can you be more specific about which group of teachers you are targeting? In the UK colleges and school are subject to the Ofsted framework and the professional standards.  Both these frameworks will support your research.  However, university lecturers are not subject to these frameworks and most universities use the Higher Education Academic framework.

Hi All, I am actually looking for core-competency for teaching...this is mainly for academicians 

Hi Janitha, 

I dont have a questionnair but hopefully you will find the attached articles useful. 

Thank you Hasna 

This one is good, too:

As a research team at W&M, from 2000-2005, we used an instrument called the COS-R that rated teachers in Title 1 schools on general teaching strategy use, both in respect to frequency and effectiveness as well as the use of differentiated teaching strategies, appropriate especially for gifted learners.  The instrument has been used in several studies, has good technical adequacy, and is easy to train others in using.  With a 3-point range, it is clear about the degree of effectiveness observed in respect to areas such as setting high expectations, critical thinking, creative thinking, problem solving, and accommodation of individual differences.  It is an instrument that may be used by teachers to self assess, by supervisors to identify gaps in strategy use, and by curriculum and professional developers to assess areas of priority need for inservice work.

Hello Janitha. Check out articles by Professor Chris Kyriacou, who is an international expert on teacher stress. Some of his publications are available on Research Gate, so key in his name and look at his Publication List. If you want to contact him by email, it is available on the University of York, Department of Educational Studies webpage. I know Chris well, so feel free to tell him that I suggested you make contact. Best wishes Paul

Thank you very much Paul and to the rest,thank you again

Yes I have a tool which is known as CORE TEACHING SKILLS OBSERVATION SCHEDULE(COTS) It has ten core teaching skills like- Questioning (S1) to Classroom Management (S10). Rater (teacher) Has to rate these skills at 5 Point scale. Relaiability is .79. 

 Hi Harish, could please share it with me. Thank you

Me, too, Harish :-)
