Abstract
Detecting the difficulties that students perceive in their first contacts with the profession is essential for adapting their training. For this reason, this article aims to confirm the validity of the Teaching Problems Inventory (Jordell, 1985) for a sample of teacher training and Master's degree students. For this purpose, Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) of the Teaching Difficulties Scale were performed to confirm that the theoretical structure proposed by previous studies fit our data. The goodness of fit was good overall, indicating that the four factors proposed by Cañón (2012) fit the data appropriately. Additional revealed a strong relationship of the items to each factor and the lack of collinearity between factors. Reliability analysis indicated that the items produced reliable scores in each factor as well in the total score. Finally, sensitivity analysis showed that the scale was sensitive enough to capture different ratings with different groups of age.
期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
