For this study, the PISC (referred to herein as the PISAE to reflect adaptations) was altered to measure respondents' professional identities as educators, agriculturalists, and agricultural educators (PISAE).
In order to enhance face validity of the PISAE, a drop-down, 5-point Likert-type scale was used for each question, allowing participants to respond quickly to an item for all three identities on one screen.
A pilot test including the Spring 2017 preservice teachers entering their final semester at the University of Arkansas (N = 7) was conducted to evaluate the PISAE's internal consistency within each sub-construct for each professional identity (see Table 1).
The PISAE quantitatively described agriculture teachers' professional identities, but we do not yet know how these identities are expressed though teachers' behaviors.
