Teachers’s Professional Role Questionnaire: Theoretical Background and Psychometric Properties of the Initial Version of the Instrument This paper present theoretical background, design process and psychometric properties of the Teacher’s Professional Role Questionnaire (TPRQ) – a new instrument to measure perceived importance and fulfillment of the main spheres of teachers’ functioning. A study conducted on a large (N = 946) sample of Polish teachers, preceded by a pilot study (N = 121) lead to the construction of the final version of the TPRQ. Confirmatory factor analyses demonstrated a good fit of the hierarchical model, that summarized the importance and fulfillment of teachers’ roles into three meta-factors – metaphors of the teacher as an inspirer, a tutor and a clerk. We present data showing the new instrument’s validity, reliability as well as discuss its strengths and limitations – especially these related to instrument’s susceptibility to social desirability – and propose further areas of studies on TPRQ.
