Abstract
Understanding how unobservable constructs operate based on culture and language is an important objective for researchers. Because language and culture exert such a powerful influence on the way we experience psychological phenomena, latent constructs may not function universally between cultures and languages. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was twofold. First, we translated the Metacognitive Awareness Inventory for Teachers (MAIT) with 24 items, originally developed by Balcikanli (2011). Second, we test and validate the instrument translated to Spanish using a sample of Colombian teachers (N = 755). We hypothesized a modified factor structure based on the proposal in the original validation study. The results revealed that, after the elimination of three items that did not fit, our hypothetized factor structure for the MAIT-R of 21 items demonstrated an excellent fit to the data. We discuss the implications for theory, research and practice in light of our findings.
