Abstract
The analysis of teacher cognition is one of the most valued fields of study in educational research. Within this framework, the aim of this research is to validate two scales designed ad hoc to determine teachers' beliefs and practices about reading classical authors in Secondary Education. After applying the questionnaire (CREPROCLA) to a representative sample of 342 Language and Literature teachers, we undertook a process of content validity by means of a test by expert judges and construct validity by means of exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. Internal consistency was also calculated. Both scales yielded adequate psychometric properties that were consistent with the initial theoretical constructs. The beliefs scale (53 items) consists of four factors: Personal Relationship with Classics, Negative Beliefs about the Curriculum, Positive Beliefs about Students and Reception and Self-Efficacy. The practice scale (28 indicators) is composed of Reception approach, Traditional approach, Impact of the teaching staff, Curriculum impact and No impact of the socio-cultural component. Thus, CREPROCLA becomes the first instrument validated by exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis in the field of teachers' beliefs about the Didactics of Literature.
