Abstract
The Delaware School Climate Questionnaire (DSCQ), initiated by Delaware and his associates, has been utilized as a common tool to explore and evaluate school climate in different countries. The purpose of the current study was to adapt the DSCQ into Mongolian and examine its psychometric properties with a sample of 1,174 secondary school students. The results of exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis verified the uni-dimensionality of the scale and confirmed the Mongolian version of DSCQ fit the three-factor model. The Cronbach alpha value of the total scale was 0.92, whereas correlation coefficients representing convergent validity varied from 0.30 to 0.72 (p &lt;.01). The criterion validity of the scale was determined to be 0.3 when the Mongolian language and math achievement test score was used as a criterion in concurrent validity analysis. The results suggest that the Mongolian version of the DSCQ is a valid and reliable tool to evaluate school climate in Mongolian samples.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0258/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
