Abstract
The purpose of present study was to identify components and indicators for evaluation of general physical training teachers. Subjects were all students of Isfahan University (N=12567) from which sample size was calculated as 375 based on Krejcie and Morgan table and subjects were selected randomly based on their sexuality. For data collection, a researcher-made questionnaire, by library studying and using comments of 5 sport management teachers using Delphi method, was utilized. Face and content validity of questionnaire were confirmed by elite’s comments and its reliability was confirmed by Cronbach’s alpha test. For analyzing data from questionnaires, Bartlett test and second time confirmatory factor analysis were used. Findings from factor analysis confirmed the desired value of model and finally the model for evaluation of general physical training teachers including 34 indicators and 5 components, teaching skills (14 indicators), communication skills (5 indicators), personal skills (4 indicators), educational rules and basics (4 indicators), and supervising and evaluation (7 indicators) was designed. The final model and its indicators and components can be used as a comprehensive valid, reliable, student-oriented tool for evaluation of general physical training teachers` performance in universities.
