Rich, Peter J.; Larsen, Ross A.; Mason, Stacie L. – Journal of Research on Technology in Education, 2021
This study sought to identify factors that affect teachers' beliefs about teaching computing in their classrooms. By reviewing existing scales and research on computing, we created the Teacher Beliefs about Coding and Computational Thinking (TBaCCT) scale. Through confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling we validated the scale…
