Perception questionnaire of teaching competencies in physical education

Abstract

The incorporation of competencies in Spain is a key element of its quality. However, there are no assessment tools available to assess them in the specific field of the pre-service PE Teacher Education. The main objective of this study is to design and validate a scale to assess the perception of the teaching competencies of these students. For its creation and validation, a methodology based on the Classical Test Theory was followed, with special emphasis on the calculation of the reliability and validity of the scale. The sample for its validation is of 1713 undergraduates and graduates (1240 undergraduates, 473 graduates), who belong to 20 different Spanish universities. The final scale presents a factorial structure of four main factors and 22 items with which high reliability and adequate content and construct validity are achieved.
