Chilean Teachers' Reading
Listed in Teesside University Research Data Repository
This dataset contains responses from 385 Chilean educators who participated in a study validating a Title Recognition Test (TRT) designed to objectively measure print exposure among adults.
Description
The TRT includes 55 book titles: 40 real titles and 15 foils (fake titles). For each title (variables tit1 to tit40 and foil1 to foil15), participants indicated whether they recognized it (1 = recognized, 0 = not recognized).
Final TRT scores (trt_z) were computed by summing recognized valid titles from a validated 19-item subset and subtracting two points per foil falsely identified, then standardizing the result. Valid items were: tit1 tit2 tit3 tit8 tit9 tit10 tit11 tit17 tit18 tit23 tit28 tit33 tit34 tit35 tit36 tit37 tit38 tit39 tit40. Additional variables capture participants’ self-reported reading motivation (mot_z), reading frequency (frecuencia_z), and books read in the past 12 months (volumen_z), all standardized as z-scores.

Demographic and professional information includes sex, school type (school_type), role in school (role_group), year of birth, and years of in-service experience. Subject specialization is indicated by dummy variables (e.g., subj_lang_social, subj_stem_tech). This dataset supports analyses of print exposure and reading habits in relation to educators' professional roles and school contexts.
Variable labels correspond to book titles or descriptive survey items. The dataset is suitable for Item Response Theory modeling, group comparisons, and correlational analyses exploring the relationship between objective and self-reported reading measures.
