【 摘 要 】

The Behavior and Instructional Management Scale (BIMS) was developed to assess the bidimensional construct of classroom management. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the factor structure and psychometric properties of the BIMS using Serbian teachers. Confirmatory factor analysis was conducted on the data collected from a sample of 660 teachers, with results supporting a two-factor model of the BIMS. Both subscales of the BIMS demonstrated adequate internal consistency. Furthermore, results indicated that the two-factor model of the scale has good convergent validity. In conclusion, the BIMS can be recommended to researchers interested in measuring teacher classroom management in Serbia.
