| Summary: | The Teaching Anxiety Scale (TCHAS) is an easily administered, machine scorable, self-report instrument designed to measure situation specific (teaching) anxiety. The single factor structure, high stability (.95) and internal consistency (.87-.94), and manner used for controlling acquiescent set are discussed. The TCHAS correlates significantly and positively with other measures of anxiety, but .76-.86 of what it measures reliably is unique. TCHAS scores discriminated significantly between groups of preservice teachers rated most and least anxious about teaching. TCHAS scores decreased significantly over two to four months of professional preservice education, though MAS scores obtained concurrently remained unchanged.
