Teacher Academic Support Scale

Description

The Teacher Academic Support Scale measures a student's perceived support from teachers.The 4-item Teacher Academic Support Scale (Cronbach's et = .84) asks about perceived support for learning, such as 'My teachers like to help me learn.' 

This construct was measured by the Teacher Social Support and Academic Support subscales of the Classroom Life Measure (Johnson et al., 1985). Items for the teacher subscales correspond closely to the peer support items. The four-item Teacher Social Support subscale (Cronbach's ot = .81) assesses perceived social support and concern from teachers.  A teacher perceived acceptance score was derived by averaging the teacher social and academic support scores (r = .68, p < .001).
