Teacher interpersonal self-efficacy scale: Estudo de adaptação e validação da versão Portuguesa

Abstract

The Teacher Interpersonal Self-Efficacy Scale (Brouwers & Tomic, 2001) is a self-efficacy perception rating scale for teachers, consisting of 24 items that are organized in three main factors: (1) Perceived Self-Efficacy in Classroom Management, (2) Perceived Self-Efficacy in Eliciting Support From Colleagues, and (3) Perceived Self-Efficacy in Eliciting Support From Principals. In the adaptation and validation of the Portuguese version of this instrument were part 658 Elementary, Secondary and Special Education teachers. The results of the confirmatory factor analysis showed the fit of the original factor structure in the Portuguese sample. The internal consistency and temporal stability of the three scales showed adequate values. The different psychometric characteristics revealed the adequate validity and reliability of this scale.
