| Popis | The prestige of the teaching profession is still a resonating topic nowadays in the Czech Republic, and as results from international research show, it is still problematic. Teachers themselves do not consider their job prestigious, which can have unfortunate consequences. In order to correct the current state, however, it is necessary to understand certain areas, which determine the prestige of the teaching profession and which are responsible for the prestige of the teaching profession being perceived as low by teachers. The aim of this text is to present the process of making and statistically verifying the research tool, which measures the prestige of the teaching profession in three dimensions. In a research sample (N=138) consisting of students of education, PCA was calculated, and in an extended sample including practicing teachers (N=275), CFA was calculated. McDonald’s Omega was used to calculate the reliability of measures. Data analysis shows that the three-dimensional model is acceptable and usable for other research into the prestige of the teaching profession. |
