      (SPSI): development and validity evidence based studies.

AB  - Students' perceptions about school success promotion strategies are of great 
      importance for schools, as they are an indicator of how students perceive the 
      school success promotion strategies. The objective of this study was to develop 
      and analyze the validity evidence based of The Students' Perceptions of School 
      Success Promoting Strategies Inventory (SPSI), which assesses both individual 
      students' perceptions of their school success promoting strategies, and 
      dimensions of school quality. A structure of 7 related factors was found, which 
      showed good adjustment indices in two additional different samples, suggesting 
      that this is a well-fitting multi-group model (p < .001). All scales presented 
      good reliability values. Schools with good academic results registered higher 
      values in Career development, Active learning, Proximity, Educational 
      Technologies and Extra-curricular activities (p < .05). SPSI showed to be 
      adequate to measure within-schools (students within schools) dimensions of school 
      success. In addition, there is preliminary evidence for its adequacy for 
      measuring school success promotion dimensions between schools for 4 dimensions. 
      This study supports the validity evidence based of the SPSI (validity evidence 
      based on test content, on internal structure, on relations to other variables and 
      on consequences of testing). Future studies should test for within- and 
      between-level variance in a bigger sample of schools.
