Description

The TASC and SIS are questionnaire-based assessment instruments used to measure students' or teachers' perceptions of teacher autonomy support, structure, involvement, control, and chaos in K–12 and post-secondary educational settings.

Components

  • Teacher as Social Context Questionnaire (TASC) and Situations in School Questionnaire (SIS) as measures of autonomy support and structure: The review identifies the two most frequently used measures of autonomy support and structure. The TASC (Belmont et al., 1988) comprises 41 items and three sub-scales (autonomy support 12 items, structure 15 items, involvement 14 items), usable as student or teacher report, with Cronbach's alpha 0.66–0.90 (student) and 0.73–0.90 (teacher). The SIS (Aelterman et al., 2019) is "a vignette-based questionnaire" with fifteen vignettes rated on a 7-point scale, with alpha 0.80–0.92 (student) and 0.73–0.85 (teacher). Both measure autonomy support and structure alongside their opposites, control and chaos. (Alexandra Patzak (2025))
