Psychometric properties of the curiosity and exploration inventory (CEI-II) and its relationship with the attitudes of Spanish future teachers toward plastic arts education
Key Points
Future teachers' attitudes toward plastic arts education are significantly influenced by their levels of curiosity.
The Curiosity and Exploration Inventory (CEI-II) effectively measures curiosity, showing strong psychometric properties across groups.
Exploratory analyses suggest that higher curiosity levels correlate with positive attitudes toward engaging in plastic arts education.
Understanding these relationships may inform curriculum development to foster curiosity in future educational practices.
