Abstract
This study represents the first step of a linguistic and cultural translation and adaptation
of a questionnaire developed by Gilat, Kupferberg and Sagee,11 adapted by Ezer, Gilat
and Sagee12 to Portuguese. This questionnaire aims to access the pre-service teachers´
perceptions on training and profession. In the translation process we followed the
principles of functional equivalence defined by Geisinger,15 which comprises going
beyond literal translation, i.e. a constant review of language and conceptual
equivalence. To achieve that goal, we followed the seven steps of Vallerand’s18
methodological proposal. This study reports the four leading steps: i) build a draft; ii)
draft’s review and modification; iii) assessment of the clarity questions by members of
the public throughout a pretest; iv) assessing the content validity of the questionnaire. The process of adapting the instrument was successfully achieved. It is, therefore,
important in future studies to assess the psychometric equivalence (functional reliability
and validity), so that this instrument can be used in the context of the Portuguese
language.
