Abstract :Introduction: There are eight key roles defined for trainers. The trainer is expected to identify their roles in a training program and maximize their potential. This study aimed to expand the "Questionnaire to Assess a Teacher’s Perception of Their Current Personal Commitment and Preferred Future Commitment to Each of the Eight Roles”, which was developed by Harden and Lilley 2018, and adapt it to Turkish. Method: The study was carried out in four faculties between 10 December 2018 and 30 August 2019. The original questionnaire, which questioned the roles of an educator over a total of eight items, was expanded in accordance with the source in which it was published. The psychometric analyses of the new scale consisting of 32 items were conducted. Results: The final version of the scale consisted of 29 items and eight subscales. The scale-based content validity index for the scale was calculated as 1.00. Cronbach's alpha values for the Scale and its subscales were 0.95, 0.67, 0.90, 0.92, 0.87, 0.84, 0.88, 0.90, and 0.78, respectively. The item-total correlations for the scale and the Goodness of Fit model were deemed acceptable. Conclusion: The scale proved useful as a measurement tool for measuring educators’ current and future commitments to their eight roles. We recommend the scale for educator evaluation, needs assessment, and/or educator development training.
