Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0003-0088-2261 A scale to measure educators’ musical skills in early childhood education 2021 Access copy available to the general public Unrestricted Evaluating skills of students training to become teachers in early childhood education (ECE) is a key measure to improve their training and, subsequently, to bring about improvements in the way they train their pupils. No research literature specifically describing a scale designed to measure educators’ musical skills at the ECE level has been previously published. In view of this lack, we carried out the customary procedures for designing and validating a psychological measurement scale: on the basis of a sample of university students (n = 209), we created a valid, reliable tool that allows researchers to evaluate and quantify how teacher trainees perceive their own musical skills. By applying EFA, Parallel Analysis, and CFA, we observed the emergence of four differentiated categories distributed along 25 items in the questionnaire''s final version. To improve and refine this tool, further research and study replication in a series of different educational contexts would be required. © 2021 The Author(s) info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by-nc-nd http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/ 2.704 2021 PSYCHOLOGY, EDUCATIONAL 27 / 60 = 0.45 2021 Q2 T2 EDUCATION & EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH 109 / 270 = 0.404 2021 Q2 T2 0.818 2021 Education 2021 Q1 3.9 2021 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion García Gil D.
