Abstract

The school climate is a fundamental factor for the quality, efficiency and improvement of the school. Hence, many studies stress the importance of evaluating this construct properly. However, there is still no valid and reliable instrument in Spanish that fully reflects the main aspects of school climate and that is approved by most of the scientific community. To try to overcome this limitation, the main objectives of this study are to redesign the Students’ Perception of School Climate (PACE) scale and to present evidence of its reliability and validity in the Spanish adolescent population. A total of 348 students aged 12 and 18 years participated in the study and completed two self-reports: the new version of the PACE scale and the School Climate Assessment Questionnaire (CECSCE). The results obtained allowed us to select the items with the best technical guarantees for the evaluation of the nine subscales obtained. Consequently, a valid, reliable and brief scale is obtained that evaluates the students' perception of the specific dimensions of the most highly accepted aspects of the school climate. This scale also makes an important contribution to clarifying the internal structure of the school climate
