My Class Inventory-Short Form as an Accountability Tool for Elementary School Counselors to Measure Classroom Climate

Abstract

A psychometric study with more than 2, 800 upperelementary- age students examined the reliability and factorial validity of the My Class Inventory-Short Form (MCI-SF). Factor analytic and structural equation modeling results suggested that the original measure is a less than satisfactory approach to appraise various dimensions of classroom climate. Researchers subsequently tested a revised version of the MCI-SF, showing that the 18-item measure with four scales (Cohesion, Competitiveness, Friction, and Satisfaction) was psychometrically sound. Implications for elementary school counseling programs and practices are discussed.
