The goal of this study was to develop a valid and reliable questionnaire to assess pre-service teachers' beliefs about how to handle student mistakes, specifically examining its factor structure, test-retest reliability, concurrent validity, and exploring possible relationships between certain teacher characteristics and scores on the Mistake-Handling Questionnaire.

A reliable one factor structure representing a pro-incorporating mistakes perspective was found. The resulting questionnaire was found to have relatively high internal reliability (α = .767), including for the holdout sample (α = .675), and high test-retest reliability (r = .775, p / A Thesis submitted to the Department of Educational Psychology and Learning Systems in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of
