Resum

Improving the attractiveness of the teaching profession is one of the main objectives in the educational policies of the EU. It is necessary to have a deeper knowledge of the motivations for going into teaching. The aim of this study is the validation of a scale measuring the factors influencing the choice of Education studies (Factors Influencing Teaching choice, FIT-Choice scale), applied to a sample of 857 first-year preservice teachers surveyed at 11 faculties from the Community of Madrid during the academic year 2012-13. The scale¿s framework offers an organization of the most important factors found in both national and international studies on motivation to become a teacher. The FIT-Choice scale consists of 18 first-order factors: 12 motivational factors -7 of which are grouped into two higher-order factors (social utility and personal utility values) - and 6 perceptional factors -4 of which are grouped into two higher-order factors (task demand and task return) -. Analyses to check the internal consistency showed good results (a=0.88 for motivational factors and a=0.69 for perceptional factors) and confirmatory factor analyses were conducted. Results yielded acceptable global fit indices for first-order motivational factors (RMSEA=0.048, SRMR=0.054, CFI=0.966 and TLI=0.959) and for higher-order factors (RMSEA=0.056, SRMR=0.064, CFI=0.968 and TLI=0.963). Also for percepcional first-order factors (RMSEA=0.051, SRMR=0.051, CFI=0.960 and TLI=0.951) and higher order factors (RMSEA=0.067, SRMR=0.08, CFI=0.961 and TLI=0.951). The validation of this scale grants the possibility to establish international comparisons due to its application in several countries. Moreover, it allows us to learn from the measures being applied in these countries in order to improve the attractiveness of the teaching profession.
