The teacher professionalism (TP) scale used to collect data included 46 items, two of which were negative, which examine nine dimension of teaching professionalism (alpha reliability coefficient = 0.93 abd TP scale showing a total variance of 58.96%). Results of the composite professionalism scale revealed that the teachers in Pakistan had more significant positive/higher perception of professionalism than the teachers in Turkey. Comparisons of the sub-dimensions of the TP scale revealed that Pakistani teachers had more positive/higher perceptions in five of the nine sub-dimensions, whereas only one sub-dimension was positive/higher for teachers in Turkey.
