Validates the FIT-Choice scale in prospective teachers, suggesting cultural adaptations enhance understanding.
The Factors Influencing Teaching (FIT)-Choice model defines various motivation and perception factors that influence the decision to become a teacher. This study aims to validate a Cuban version of the FIT-Choice scale that has been culturally adapted and extended by the factor of interest in educating. To examine the scale’s psychometric properties, a sample of 340 prospective teachers was surveyed at two Cuban universities in February 2020. Confirmatory factor analyses identified a good fit for the general factor model, which included interest in educating as a first-order factor. However, the assumed higher-order structure could not be empirically confirmed.
