The Learning Climate Questionnaire (LCQ) measures teacher autonomy support in the classroom. There are various versions of the LCQ available, a 15-item full-scale version and a 6-item shortened version. Recent research suggests that using a 5-item version of LCQ is a more effective measure of teacher autonomy support. Using data from a sample of Filipino undergraduate students, the single-factor structure of the Five-item LCQ (LCQ-5) was validated through confirmatory factor analysis along with three longer versions of the scale. Results showed that LCQ-5 outperformed the alternative versions of LCQ in terms of model fit. To demonstrate construct validity, LCQ scores were correlated with measures of parent and peer autonomy support, as well as with the short version of the self-oriented perfectionism subscale of the Hewitt and Flett Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale. LCQ-5 also displayed gender invariance and good internal consistency. The findings suggest that the LCQ-5 can be used as a brief but psychometrically valid measure of teacher autonomy support. Implications for the measurement of teacher autonomy support are discussed.

五项学习氛围问卷的验证作为衡量教师自主支持的课堂

学习氛围问卷 (LCQ) 衡量教师在课堂上的自主支持。有各种版本的 LCQ 可用，一个 15 项的完整版和一个 6 项的缩短版。最近的研究表明，使用 5 项版本的 LCQ 是一种更有效的教师自主支持措施。使用来自菲律宾本科生样本的数据，通过验证性因素分析以及三个较长版本的量表，验证了五项 LCQ (LCQ-5) 的单因素结构。结果表明，LCQ-5 在模型拟合方面优于 LCQ 的替代版本。为了证明结构效度，LCQ 分数与父母和同伴自主支持的测量相关，以及休伊特和弗莱特多维完美主义量表的自我导向完美主义分量表的简短版本。LCQ-5 也表现出性别不变性和良好的内部一致性。研究结果表明，LCQ-5 可以用作教师自主支持的简短但心理测量有效的衡量标准。讨论了衡量教师自主支持的意义。
