| Abstract: | Purpose: Grounded in the expectancy-value theory framework, the purpose of this study was to develop and identify the psychometric properties of the Teaching Motivation in Physical Education Questionnaire. Methods: The process included testing content validity with experts (n = 16), construct validity and measurement invariance using factor analysis, and convergent validity using structural equation modeling (SEM) in two physical education teacher samples (n = 373; n = 400). Results: Factor analysis identified a 17-item questionnaire measuring teachers' expectancy, value, and cost beliefs. Measurement invariance testing revealed equivalence between male and female as well as primary and secondary physical education teachers. Correlational and structural equation modeling analyses showed the adaptive nature of expectancy and subjective task value beliefs along with the maladaptive nature of cost beliefs. Discussion/Conclusion: The Teaching Motivation in Physical Education Questionnaire provides a theoretically grounded approach to investigate physical education teachers' motivation toward curriculum and instruction. |
