Evaluation of Teacher Induction Programs (E-Tip): Validity of the Criteria

The present study objective was to validate the criteria of an instrument created for quality assurance of teacher induction programs. It was applied research with a mixed-method approach. The sample was non-probabilistic for convenience. The instrument was constructed based on the available bibliography, and the content was validated by expert judgment through a Likert scale with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.86. Aiken's V was applied to the experts' judgment. The 14 criteria relevance had an average approval of 80.6% vs. 3.6% of disapproval, and, according to Aiken's V, all items should be included in the final version of the scale. In conclusion, the E-Tip criteria resulted in being valid in content validation. In addition, further investigation needs to be done concerning qualitative instruments to assess the mentioned criteria.
