The article described the development and validation of the Beliefs about Primary Education Scale (BPES). The 18-item scale for assessing primary school teachers' beliefs toward the nature of good education is subdivided into a transmissive dimension and the developmental dimension. Recent studies (n=381), construct validity of the BPES was confirmed. The BPES’ DD and TD were shown to correlate significantly with constructivist and traditional teaching beliefs.
