Abstract

This study developed and validated an instrument to measure the level of internationalization of Teacher Education Institutions (TEIs) in the Philippines and beyond. It was anchored on a research commissioned by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) to Padama, E. et al. (2010) which developed a conceptual framework in internationalizing private HEIs in the Philippines. The research established the content validity and the intra-rater and inter-rater reliability of a 4-point scale rubric covering four (4) domains, nine (9) dimensions, and fifty-four essential indicators in internationalizing TEIs in the Philippines and even beyond its borders. The rubric provides a concrete assessment tool that can help TEIs particularly in the Philippines to gauge their level of internationalization, therefore, to serve as basis in improving their programs and processes to be at par with international standards
