Abstract

This article reports the procedures to design a physical education teachers' professional identity scale and its psychometric features. After reflecting on the construct and its operationalisation, the researchers analyzed the procedures required for its design and validity of the construct and analyzed the internal consistency by calculating the Cronbach alpha coefficient. After carrying out a pre-test and then administering a scale to a sample of 206 physical education teachers, they concluded that the instrument has satisfactory psychometric qualities. Thus, because these factors are internally consistent and well defined by the items, they concluded that the scale has psychometric qualities that support its use as a reliable research instrument. Further to providing good validity indicators, the measures applied are characterized by being reliable or adequately reliable and having interpretable factorial structures, suggesting that they consistently assess the variables they intend to measure, thus being an appropriate instrument to assess the professional identity of physical education teachers.
