Initial Construct Validation of the Teaching Autonomy Scale.

Pearson, L. Carolyn; Hall, Bruce W.

Journal of Educational Research, v86 n3 p172-78 Jan-Feb 1993

Teachers at all grade levels were surveyed on teaching autonomy, then 20 refined items were administered to other teachers. Results yielded two factors that were internally consistent: general teaching autonomy and curricular autonomy. (SM)
