| Abstract | ||
| The purpose of this study was to develop and standardize a leadership ability scale for physical education teachers in secondary schools in Nineveh Governorate as perceived by school administrators. The study deployed descriptive survey method and the sample was 160 school administrators, (principals and assistant principals) who were selected to represent the study population. To collect data for the study, the researcher made a questionnaire after using several studies and theories of educational leadership. The scale was reviewed by a panel of experts for content validity and amended accordingly. Following this, the appropriate statistics were employed to test the scale’s psychometric properties, including its validity and reliability. The scale in final version consisted of five things: objectivity, flexibility, understanding others, use of authority, and knowledge of communication principles. A total of 40 items were developed to represent the dimensions using the Likert-type scale. According to the findings, the validity and reliability of the scale are acceptable, indicating it can be used to measure the leadership ability of physical education teachers. The study suggested the usage of the scale in subsequent research and the use of the study on different education levels including primary, intermediate, and secondary schools. In addition, the scale can be utilized in similar Arab educational contexts, especially in Iraqi governorates because it is adaptable and standardized. | ||
