Measuring Classroom Climate: A Validation Study of the My Child’s Classroom Inventory–Short Form for Parents

Abstract

Researchers assessed reliability and validity information to determine the utility of the My Child’s Class Inventory–Short Form (MCCI-SF) using 657 parents/caregivers. A four-factor model was generated reflective of the following classroom dimensions: Peer Relations, Competitiveness, Difficulty, and Satisfaction. Using the MCCI-SF in conjunction with its companion instruments, the My Class Inventory–Short Form Revised and the My Class Inventory–Short Form for Teachers can provide school counselors with useful accountability data about their school counseling program.
