theconstruct validity of the instrument with exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses. The scalecontained three factors representing the three presences: teaching (TP), social (SP), and cognitive(CP). The TP consisted of 10 items (Items 1, 4-8, 10, 12-13, 17). The SP consisted of 3 items(Items 3, 11, 16). The CP consisted of 5 items (Items 2, 9, 14-15, 18). The total variance was67.63%. A confirmatory factor analysis was conducted as well. The fit index was χ2/df=1.74,RMSEA=0.071, CFI=0.98, NFI=0.96, and NNFI=0.98. The key to the instrument and the associatedscoring method are listed below. Mean scores are calculated on a five-point basis: A=5, B=4, C=3, D=2,E=1.A=Deserves an award in this area; excellent,B=Very Good,C=Good,D=Does not perform well
