ABSTRACT Based on previous research and the limitations of existing questionnaires on teachers’ value orientations (VOs), the purpose of this study was to develop and provide validity evidence of two French-language versions of a physical education (PE) teachers’ VO questionnaire (OVEPS). The two versions are based on a model of 3 VOs (i.e., motor skills, self-awareness, and social knowledge). This paper describes the development of two forms of the OVEPS, i.e., a Likert-scale OVEPS and a forced-choice OVEPS. Two studies were conducted; the first developed evidence of the internal structure (reliability and factorial structure) of the Likert-scale OVEPS. The second presented evidence of the internal structure of the forced-choice OVEPS and its relations to other variables (convergent and divergent correlations). The results showed that the forced-choice OVEPS was the best solution and revealed three distinct PE teacher priorities in France. This questionnaire is expected to be useful for developing future studies.
