Distance Education Attitudes (DEAS) During Covid‑19 Crisis: Factor Structure, Reliability and Construct Validity of the Brief DEA Scale in Greek‑Speaking SEND Teachers Sotiria Tzivinikou1 · Garyfalia Charitaki2 · Dimitra Kagkara1 Accepted: 8 November 2020 © Springer Nature B.V. 2020
Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the psychometric properties (factor structure, reliability and construct validity) of the Brief Distance Education Attitudes (DEA) scale. Four hundred twenty-two SEND teachers filled out socio-demographic data forms and the DEAS. Factors were extracted by EFA (Principal Components Analysis) and confirmed by Analysis of Moment Structures. No floor-ceiling effects were observed. No significant differences of skewness and kurtosis were observed between the two Domains. All goodness of fit indices generated by CFA were found satisfactory (TLI = 0.962 > 0.95, RMSEA = .035 0.05
