VALENZUELA-SANTOYO, María Esthela et al. School Adjustment Perceived by the Teacher (PROF-A) in Mexican Students: Psychometric Analysis. Psicumex [online]. 2021, vol.11, e414. Epub 13-Dez-2021. ISSN 2007-5936. https://doi.org/10.36793/psicumex.v11i2.414.
The purpose of this research was to validate the Teacher Perceived School Adjustment Scale (PROF-A) developed by Cava et al. (2015) in Mexican elementary school students. Following an instrumental research design, the study was developed with a non-probabilistic snowball sample made up of 37 teachers belonging to eight schools in an elementary school zone from a municipality in the southern part of the state of Sonora, Mexico, who evaluated the school adjustment of the students in their class, obtaining a total of 628 records. The analyses were carried out in SPSS v.25 and R 4.0.1 using the MVR, Lavaan, Psych and semPlot packages. A confirmatory factor analysis and an internal consistency analysis were performed to test the validity and reliability of the scale which obtained a four-factor model (social integration, academic competence, family involvement and teacher-student relationship) as in the original scale. The results demonstrate that the PROF-A can be used in subsequent studies with Mexican samples at elementary school level as it displays satisfactory psychometric properties, and its use in the Mexican context is recommended.
