Abstract

ntroduction: The present study was conducted with the aim of validating the accountability questionnaire in physical education.

Research method: First, the Student Individual and Social Responsibility Tool (SIPPES) was translated into Persian language to calculate reliability and construct validity. In the implementation stage, the distribution of questionnaires was done in two stages. In the first stage, questionnaires were given to the students to analyze the exploratory factor, and in the second stage, questionnaires were given to the students to analyze the confirmatory factor and convergent validity. In this research, 400 (250 girls and 150 boys) were selected from among 500 fifth and sixth grade students, boys and girls, using available sampling method. To measure the convergent validity, the Sports Behavior Regulation Questionnaire (BREQ, Markland and Tobin, 2004) was implemented.

Findings: "Effort", "following class rules" and "self-management" had the greatest effect on the structure of responsible behavior. The reliability of the research was also evaluated as 0.7, which is favorable.

Conclusion: Six factors were identified in multistage cluster exploratory factor analysis. ( 1, 7, 13, 9) to the effort component, ( 2, 8, 14, 20) to the self-directed component, ( 3, 9, 21, 25) to follow the class rules (items 4,10,16,22,15) to respect others (5,11,17,23,26) to help others and items (6,12,18,24) to Collaboration indicates that the confirmatory factor analysis also confirmed this six-factor structure obtained. the results showed that this questionnaire has convergent validity and good reliability. Using this tool, it is possible to check responsibility in male and female students.
