HIDALGO, Nina; MARTINEZ-GARRIDO, Cynthia  and  PERINES, Haylen. Are future teachers committed to social justice? Validation and application of the Spanish translation of Social Justice Scale. Pág. Educ. [online]. 2018, vol.11, n.2, pp.85-107. ISSN 1688-7468.  https://doi.org/10.22235/pe.v11i2.1647.

This research has a double purpose: on the one hand, to translate into Spanish the Social Justice Scale of Torres-Harding, Siers and Olson (2012) and to validate the instrument; on the other hand, to know the attitudes and commitment of future teachers towards social justice. After translating and validating the scale, an ex post facto descriptive study was carried out with 326 undergraduate teacher training students at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (Spain). The results of the study show that Primary School teachers have a better attitude towards social justice than future Kindergarten teachers, and that women have a better attitude than men. The translated scale is a valuable tool for Spanish-speaking researchers seeking to identify attitudes related to social justice.

Keywords : social justice; scale; validation; Spanish; attitudes.
