The purpose of this study was to examine structural validity of Korean version of Caring Climate Scale(CCS)
and to test its influence on 377 elementary school students' attitudes toward physical education class. A
forward and backward translation process has been applied to get validation of the Korean version of CCS.
In the process, the translation focused on conceptual equivalence, cultural meaning, and specific content of the
physical education field rather than a literal translation. Results of this study revealed Korean version of CCS
is consistent and valid. Specifically, internal consistency of CCS was .94. The CCS was also revealed as
unidimentional structure and ten items showed strong factor loadings(.76-.86) on CCS. 66.15% of variance
explained the CCS construct. The results of Confirmatory Factor Analysis(CFA) indicated strong model fit(χ²
=121.0, df=33, Q=3.56, RMR=.030, CFI=969, TLI=.957, RMSEA=.074). For attitudes, results of the study
indicated that If students feel they are cared they are likey to pay more attention, interested in, and do their
best than students who perceived caring climate poorly. Results of this study indicated Korean version of
CCS is reliable and valid to assess student's perception of caring climate in physical education setting. in
future, it is suggested that following studies should retest the CCS to get more valid scale and the effort is
needed to develop Korean Caring Climate Scale(KCCS).
