Implementing Assessment Policy: Considering the Bi-factor Teachers' Satisfaction Criterion

The study examined teachers’ general satisfaction and specific satisfactions in implementing assessment policy. First it confirmed the validity of a four-factor teacher’s satisfaction construct. Next it identified the best-fitting measure of teacher’s satisfaction among four theoretically viable mea...
