Transcultural Adaptation of Stages of concerns questionnaire into Arabic
Description
The dataset corresponds to the data collected as part of cross-cultural adaptation of the Stages of Concerns (SoC) questionnaire into Arabic for measuring the concerns about educational technologies adoption by Tunisian primary teachers. For cross-cultural adaptation, we adopt the ITC guidelines for translating and adapting tests by the International Test Commission (2017). A total of 1110 teachers from different public schools took part in the study. The five-dimensional alpha coefficients of the SoC indicate an excellent internal consistency, respectively, of 0.801 (Awareness), 0.909 (Informational/Personal), 0.834 (Management), 0.882 (Consequence/Collaboration) and 0.928 (Refocusing). The final Arabic version of SoC questionnaire shows an excellent CFA fit indices (χ2⁄df=2.418, CFI=0.984, RMSEA=0.036, SRMR=0.034), demonstrating the robustness and the construct validity of the survey. Multigroup confirmatory factor analysis (MGCFA) results confirmed configurational, metric and scalar invariance based on the amount of gender and seniority. We conclude that the Arabic version of the SoC questionnaire is reliable and is equally applicable to different subgroups within the Tunisian primary teacher population.
