Collaborative Work from the Educational Guidance Perspective: The Case of Primary and Secondary Schools in Tenerife

Abstract

This research describes the development and assessment of an instrument to evaluate the processes of collaborative work carried out in primary and secondary schools in Tenerife (Canary Islands). In this sense, an adaptation of the questionnaire developed by Ferrandis, Grau and Fortes (2010), Questionnaire for evaluating Predisposition and Collaboration as regards Response to Diversity (CEPCRD), was carried out. The adequateness of this instrument was analyzed by means of content validity, reliability and underlying structure. Three basic dimensions were identified. Results and differences in several dimensions as regards the participants’ professional training and qualification were presented taking into account such dimensions.
