Context Beliefs about Teaching Science Instrument

Instruments

The Context Beliefs about Teaching Science Instrument is a 26-item 5-point Likert scale questionnaire. The primary purpose of this study was to develop and apply a method for assessing teachers' context beliefs about their science teaching environment. It could also be used to determine the factors which predict particular personal agency belief patterns, and assess teachers' perceptions of the strengths and weaknesses of school science programs, and could be used in planning and monitoring professional development experiences for science teachers. This instrument has both content and

Sense of Belonging Scale

Instruments

The Sense of Belonging Scale is a measure of belonging first developed for use in an after-school youth development program. This 5-item scale uses a 5-point Likert scale for each item. Belonging scores were positively related to actual program attendance over a 6-month period, self-reported attendance in the last week, and protective factors found in communities. Belonging scores were moderately and negatively related to community-based risk factors.The link provides the Sense of Belonging Scale as well as its documentation.Authors provide instrument validity and/or reliability information.
