The teaching style is important because it influences students' school-related motivation, emotion, and performance. The main purpose of this study is to examine psychometric properties and construct validity of a short version of the Problems In School questionnaire (PIS). A multi-group confirmatory factor analysis (MCFA) is performed to test the scale theoretical structure and the metric invariance across teachers' length of service. Results of MCFA are consistent with the hypothesized scale structure and show measurement invariance across different lengths of teaching service.

Abstract
The teaching style is important because it influences students' school-related motivation, emotion, and performance. The main purpose of this study is to examine psychometric properties and construct validity of a short version of the Problems In School questionnaire (PIS). A multi-group confirmatory factor analysis (MCFA) is performed to test the scale theoretical structure and the metric invariance across teachers' length of service. Results of MCFA are consistent with the hypothesized scale structure and show measurement invariance across different lengths of teaching service. The reliability of the scales in terms of internal consistency ranged from .61 to .69.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
