A total of 208 valid responses were returned for item an analysis and exploratory factor analysis, with the scale comprising 3 dimensions: “teaching practice,” “interpersonal relationship,” and “learning attitude.” In the formal questionnaire, 258 valid responses were returned for a confirmatory factor analysis, revealing that the scale exhibited satisfactory fit.
