| description | The issue of teacher turnover is a global concern, with particularly
devastating impacts on early childhood education. Turnover intention (TI) is
the most powerful predictor of actual turnover behavior, making early
identification of TI crucial for reducing attrition among early childhood preservice teachers (PSTs). Despite this, no measurement tool exists in China to
assess the TI of early childhood PSTs. This study aimed to provide a
Chinese version of turnover intention scale for student teachers (TIS-ST) and
evaluate its psychometric properties for assessing the TI of Chinese early
childhood PSTs. A stratified random sampling method was used to select a
sample of 537 early childhood PSTs. The psychometric properties of the
Chinese version of TIS-ST were assessed through construct validity,
measurement invariance, convergent validity, internal consistency reliability,
item analysis, and composite reliability analyses. The results demonstrated
that the Chinese version of TIS-ST has adequate validity, reliability, and
measurement invariance across age. The Chinese version of TIS-ST can
facilitate the dynamic identification and understanding of Chinese early
childhood PSTs’ TI across different ages and can lead to targeted
interventions that address the root causes of attrition among early childhood
PSTs. This can ultimately result in more stable and effective early childhood
education systems. |
