Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this study was to develop a core literacy questionnaire for public physical education teachers in colleges and universities (TCLQ-PPE) to address the current lack of core literacy assessment tools for public physical education teachers in Chinese colleges and universities. We hope to measure the validity of the TCLQ-PPE questionnaire by collecting evidence of the validity of this questionnaire.
Methods: An initial pool of items was obtained from existing research tools, literature, and expert opinion. An expert review panel evaluated its content. A subsequent validation process reduced the number of items in the item pool. A validated factor analysis of the TCLQ-PE was performed using structural equation modeling.
Results: The TCLQ-PPE consists of 5 dimensions (professional beliefs, professional knowledge and skills, sports skills, work and life adaptation and reflection , and work management ) consisting of a total of 40 items. The factorial validity of the TCLQ-PPE was determined by the significant loadings of all items on their expected factors, showing good data model fit and good stability between two independent samples. The Cronbach coefficient for each dimension was greater than 0.9.
Conclusion: The TCLQ-PPE has sufficient evidence of validity. The development of the instrument showed evidence of validity for the content, response process and internal structure.
