Abstract

This paper describes the unpublished “Environmental Systems Professor in Training” (SAPF) test, its psychometric characteristics (reliability, validity, standardization) and the process for obtaining them. The instrument “Environmental Systems Professor in Training” was adapted for specific application in the field of initial teacher training. This instrument collects information of environmental systems from the perception of teachers in training at the University of Playa Ancha. The adaptation of the instrument was based on previous instruments: Instrument “Organizational Environment” (Góngora, 2010) and the Instrument “Managing Inclusion” (Orrego, 2012). Both instruments determine the organizational environment from a theoretical position based on ecological theory of Bronfenbrenner (1987), Theory of Catalysis Fractal (Davia, 2002 and 2006) and Catalytic Theory of Personification (Carpenter and Davia, 2005). The structure of SAPF instrument comprises four parts: Part I. Personal history and membership group; Part II. Educational organization of Playa Ancha University (UPLA); Part III. Training of teachers in Chile; and Part IV. Professional univerversity general training in Chile. Regarding the psychometric characteristics, reliability SAPF instrument is a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.972. The total variance analysis indicates that four factors explain the variance 0.5214. The analysis determines for each dimension of the instrument unifactorial, or two or three factors structure. Based on this instrument environmental systems teacher training and the perception of “environmental organization UPLA System have been characterized. The differences in perception of teachers in intermediate training and end training on “Environmental System UPLA organization” are not significant.
