A collection of the Diversity Teaching Beliefs Scale (DTBS), a multidimensional instrument assessing teacher beliefs. It measures three distinct dimensions: Acknowledging cultural differences (ACD), emphasizing cultural communalities (ECC), and socialization of the national culture (SNC). The data was used in three studies to validate the scale's psychometric properties and analyze belief co-occurrence patterns.
Use Cases
- Conduct latent profile analysis to identify subgroups of teachers based on co-occurring ACD, ECC, and SNC belief scores.
- Validate the three-factor structure of the DTBS by examining the correlations between the ACD, ECC, and SNC subscales.
- Assess the reliability and validity of the DTBS instrument across different teacher populations using the provided psychometric data.
Strengths
- The dataset is based on three distinct validation studies, providing evidence for the instrument's psychometric properties.
- The DTBS measures three distinct, validated dimensions of teacher beliefs: ACD, ECC, and SNC.
Limitations
- The specific sample size, demographic composition, and geographic origin of the teacher participants are unknown.
- The raw data columns, file formats, and data structure are not described, limiting immediate analytical use.
