Measurement of Teacher Competence

Abstract

The quality of in-service and the preparation of pre-service teachers significantly impact education systems. However, existing literature lacks a structured framework for objectively measuring teacher competencies at a national level. This study aims to address that gap by developing a conceptual framework to assess teacher competence through a mathematical model. We propose a Teacher Competence Measurement by assigning numerical values to key competency components — academic achievements, pedagogical skills, and professional experience. This model quantifies teacher effectiveness and provides a systematic tool for evaluating in-service teachers in secondary schools in Mongolia. The findings contribute to enhancing teacher assessments and professional development strategies.
