Then duplicated and overlapped ones were removed to confirm just 48 statements. Based on a purposeful method 14 faculty members were chosen for the quantities study to compile data from graphs in a normal ranking distribution for 48pharses T strongly agree to strongly disagree(5-) for the validity content and reliability , Cronbach alpha test was used. For data analysis with respect to the findings of the qualities stage, the statements were evaluated by the participants and data were analyzed by the analytical statistical Q – factor using spss20.
