83

Abstract

The article presents the results of testing the psychometric properties of the questionnaire “Scale for Assessing University Digital Educational Environment for Teachers, AUDEE-Tch Scale” for university teachers of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus. The sample consisted of N1=308 (71% women) university teachers of the Russian Federation (72 cities) and N2=265 (76% women) ones of the Republic of Belarus (12 cities). The average age of respondents from the Russian Federation is 46±11 years (median = 45.5 years). The age of respondents from Belarus is 45.0±11.5 years (median = 45 years). Groups of teachers are equivalent in age and gender. It has been statistically proven that the questionnaire has fairly good psychometric properties. Construct validity, internal consistency of the scales, differential validity were confirmed. The results of the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) indicate the similarity of the questionnaire structure for both samples. Normative values were calculated. The questionnaire can be used to determine the attitude of university teachers to the digital educational environment in which they are engaged in professional activities.
