Psychometric properties of the Belief about the Educational Process in the Rural Environment Scale (CAPE-R) in teachers from Mendoza, Argentina. Revista de Psicología [online]. 2018, vol.36, n.1, pp.75-104. ISSN 0254-9247.  http://dx.doi.org/10.18800/psico.201801.003.

This study analyzes the psychometric structure of the CAPE- R scale, which assesses the beliefs about the educational process in rural teachers; explores the teacher´s profile, and analyzes the significant differences between the beliefs according to sociodemographic variables. The sample included 150 rural teachers from Mendoza, Argentina. The exploratory factor analysis yielded a factorial structure made up of four factors that explained a 44.19% of the variance of responses to the test. Internal consistency coefficients ranged from .74 to .85. The data show a predominance of difficulties in the educational process dimension (M=2.83; DE=.69), the only dimension that reached a significant association with the educational level of the classes (F =4.77, p<.05).

Keywords : beliefs; rural teachers; educational process; teacher profile; CAPE-R.
