Abstract

Training in skills requires implementing reliable tools allowing them to prove their development during teacher training. This research is aimed at assessing the psychometric properties of a measuring tool implemented when training teaching skills for physical education teachers and at proving whether its internal structure fits in the theoretical models reviewed in the literature. The research included 1104 undergraduate students (59.78% male and 40.22% female) from Spanish higher education institutions. A factor and exploratory analysis of the Teaching Skills in Physical Education Teacher Training survey was carried out for such a purpose. The results showed a good fit to the three-correlated model and some discrepancies regarding the skills of the theoretical models suggested by the literature. Implications for the teaching practice and the students’ skill development are hereby discussed.
