Design and Content Validation of a Questionnaire on Teachers’ Training Needs to Promote the School–Family Relationship (EVANEFEF)

This study relates to the growing recognition of the school–family relationship as a key factor in equity, inclusion, and educational success, highlighting the need to strengthen teacher education in this area. The aim was to design and content validate a specific instrument for identifying teachers’ training needs in relation to the promotion of this relationship. The EVANEFEF questionnaire was developed from a prior qualitative study and subsequently subjected to content validation by an expert panel of eleven specialists, followed by a pilot study. The final instrument, comprising 114 items on prior training and the self-assessment of competencies related to the school–family relationship, showed adequate content validity. The findings indicate that the questionnaire enables the assessment of teachers’ perceptions and the identification of training needs in key areas such as communicative, digital, socio-emotional, and multicultural competencies. In conclusion, EVANEFEF is a useful tool for guiding the design of teacher-training programmes that are more closely aligned with actual needs, thereby strengthening school–family collaboration and, ultimately, improving educational quality.
