Corporal expression is a content that is forgotten by most educators but has been proved to bring numerous benefits to students of all ages. Teacher perceptions and beliefs play a fundamental role in the teaching-learning process, influencing students to a great extent. This study aims to present the factor structure and reliability of a questionnaire for the assessment of teachers' perceptions about corporal expression. The sample consisted of 212 Spanish prospective teachers who completed the questionnaire to assess their readiness and appreciation about corporal expression. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, as well as reliability testing, were carried out. The results showed a factor structure with 3 dimensions (pleasure, preference, and evaluation of corporal expression) composed of 23 items with good and excellent goodness-of-fit values and high reliability (Cronbach's alpha = 0.71-0.93). Thus, the questionnaire can be considered a quick and easy-to-apply tool to analyze prospective teacher's perceptions about their preparation to address their students' corporal expression, allowing stakeholders to take actions to promote it.
身体表达是大多数教育者遗忘的内容，但已被证明对各个年龄段的学生都有诸多益处。教师的观念和信念在教学过程中起着至关重要的作用，在很大程度上影响着学生。本研究旨在展示评估教师对身体表达看法的问卷的因子结构和信度。样本由 212 名西班牙职前教师组成，他们完成了该问卷，以评估他们对身体表达的准备情况和欣赏程度。进行了探索性和验证性因素分析以及可靠性测试。结果表明，该问卷具有 3 个维度（愉悦感、偏好和对身体表达的评价），由 23 个项目组成，具有良好和优秀的拟合优度值以及较高的信度（Cronbach 的 alpha = 0.71-0.93）。因此，该问卷可以被视为一种快速简便的工具，用于分析职前教师对其准备情况的看法，以解决学生的身体表达问题，使利益相关者能够采取行动来促进这方面的发展。
