Questionnaires for teachers by Grigorenko, Sternberg, and Strauss: Psychometric properties of the hellenic version

Abstract

The present study aimed to examine the psychometric properties of the Hellenic version of the Questionnaires for Teachers A and B (Grigorenko, Sternberg, & Strauss, 2006). The first is tapping teacher beliefs about their efficacy in the formation of social relations in the work environment and the second teacher beliefs about their effectiveness as regards various abilities. The sample comprised 279 high school teachers, 196 women and 85 men. The participants were asked to respond to the two Questionnaires for Teachers as well as to the questionnaires: Self-Efficacy in the Delivery of Instruction and Teachers' Affective Commitment in Teaching. Confirmatory factor analyses verified the uni-dimensionality of the two Questionnaires for Teachers. Their reliability and convergent validity were satisfactory.
