Abstract

Several instruments measure teacher responsibility, but none is available in Hungarian. Thus, this study aimed to adapt a Hungarian version of the Teacher Responsibility Scale (TRS) developed by Lauermann and Karabenick and validate it. The sample was pre-service teachers ( N  = 296). The results of exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses supported the hypothesized structure of the Hungarian version of the TRS. The four factors (responsibility for student motivation, student achievement, relationships with students, and teaching) had satisfactory internal consistencies (Cronbach’s alphas = .75–.83), and the test–retest reliability was moderate (intraclass correlation coefficients = .64–.75). Correlation patterns of the TRS with the Teacher Efficacy Scale and the Approaches to Instruction scale confirmed the convergent and divergent validity. Based on these results, the Hungarian version of the TRS is a valid, reliable instrument suitable for use in further research in Hungarian pre-service teachers.
