Abstract
The purpose of this research is to develop the measurement instrument of teachers’ research mindset. Data were obtained from 502 teachers under Office of the Basic Education Commission and were collected by using a 5-point multidimensional-within-item rating scale. The data were then analyzed by confirmatory factor analysis. The research findings were as follows:
1. The measurement instrument of teachers’ research mindset consists of 3 components: thought towards research, feelings towards research, and research behaviors. The contents of the statements in
the measurement tool are related to classroom research according to plan, act, observe, and reflect (PAOR).
2. The measurement instrument of teachers’ research mindset has content validity as examine by experts. The Cronbach’s alpha reliability coefficients ranged between .49-.74. Is also has construct validity as shown by the model fit with the empirical data (χ2 (30, N=502) = 38.93, p = .13, CFI = .99, TLI= .99, SRMR = .02,
RMSEA = .02).
