Confirmatory Factor Analysis

Abstract

Today, teaching assistants play an undeniable role in improving student learning. Therefore, identifying their problems can lead to a significant improvement in the quality of students’ teaching and learning. The aim of this research is to investigate the most important factors affecting the performance of teaching assistants, and at the end, solutions are presented with the aim of helping to improve their performance. So, after identifying the most important influencing factors, a questionnaire was given to 156 students with teaching assistant experience. The reliability of the questionnaire was estimated as 0.78 based on Cronbach’s alpha method. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was used to check the correctness of the relationships considered in the model. The results indicated the existence of a significant relationship between all six latent variables with the main structure of assistants’ performance. Also, the most important results showed that from the point of view of most assistants (96%), more coordination with professors through holding regular meetings is among the most effective factors. Also, most of the teaching assistants (83%) do not agree with repeating all the material stated by the professors. Most of them (71%) do not consider holding related training workshops to increase their teaching skills too.
