Description
Summary:<p>This paper shows the design of a multiple-choice questionnaire (COMVdA) to assess the beliefs related to science learning in the context of the training of future teachers of secondary schools. It has tried to maintain a principle of maximum coherence with the theoretical and structural criteria. These criteria have been previously used in the design, development and evaluation of a previous questionnaire about the vision of science (COMVdC).</p><p>The striking feature of the process is that it has made possible the discrimination of items of low quality compared to others of medium and high quality, becoming therefore a process of self-correction. We discuss the validity and reliability of the questionnaire in the state that is presented and draw our conclusions regarding their findings and their potential to be introduced as a tool for both evaluation and instruction in the training of future science teachers.</p>
