Abstrakt: | The study developed and provided evidence of content validity, internal consistency, and factor structure of the Inventory of Teaching Challenges for Inclusive Physical Education (ITC-IPE) with children with autism spectrum disorders. Content validity of the ITC-IPE was established by seven content experts. A background questionnaire and the ITC-IPE were administered to two samples: a pilot sample of 220 certified physical educators and a validation sample of 253 certified physical educators. Teachers rated teaching challenges using a difficulty scale and a frequency scale. Findings revealed four factors (task-related challenges, social behavior challenges, environmental challenges, and challenges related to narrow interest and inflexibility), which explained 60% of the variance for both scales. Internal consistency ranged between .88 and .94. All factors were inter-correlated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
