Psychometric evaluation reveals low interview score reliability in prospective teachers, indicating that admission interview formats require substantial structural improvement.
This study examined the reliability of raters' assessments of prospective teachers for admission to a teacher training college. A total of fifty-eight prospective teachers and 10 raters participated in the study. The raters gave their ratings according to five dimensions, namely general culture (GC), language (L), self-image (SI), hobbies (H) and attitude towards the teaching profession (ATTP) in two interviews (Interview 1 and Interview 2). The data were analysed using the Mann-Whitney U-test and Generalizability Theory. The results of the study show that there is no significant difference between the raters' ratings in each interview. The G coefficients were unacceptable for the GC and SI dimensions in Interview 1. In addition, the G coefficients were relatively low for the L, H, and ATTP dimensions in Interview 1 and all dimensions in Interview 2.
