Abstract/Summary

The objective of the study was to construct a teaching metaphors scale. Teaching metaphors that were classified by Alger (2009) has six dimensions that are either teacher-centered or student-centered. The test consists of 120 items with six subscales, which are teaching is guiding , teaching is maturing , teaching is molding , teaching is transmitting , teaching is providing tools and teaching is engaging in community . The instrument constructed by the researchers is a 4-point Likert scale that will be used to find the teachers' teaching metaphors and use it as a guide in daily teaching. There are 10 items constructed in each teaching metaphors based in the dimensions by Alger (2009). The initial item was administered to 150 teachers from different parts of Metro Manila. The exploratory factor analysis was used to determine if the same dimensions from Alger (2009) will be extracted. The reliability of the scale will be determined using Cronbach's alpha. After the analysis, items with low factor loadings were removed. The new form was administered again to 500 teachers to confirm the factors arrived at. Results show that the teaching metaphors scale has different factors from the teaching metaphors identified by Alger 2009, the factors of the scale were intercorrelated and reliable.
