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-PPE 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 ɑ 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.
