Classroom destructive behaviors have been one of the topics of concern for many experts and so far less international research has been done on it, so to understand it better, appropriate tools are needed. The purpose of this study was to investigate the factor structure, reliability and validity of the researcher-made questionnaire of classroom destructive behaviors among students. All faculty and teaching professors of Payame Noor University of Ahvaz in the academic year 2018, have formed the statistical population of the present study, from which 120 people (87 men and 33 women) were selected voluntarily. The research method is descriptive-exploratory and the data were obtained with the help of a researcher-made questionnaire and exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis was used to analyze them. Exploratory factor analysis showed that the classroom destructive behavior questionnaire consists of 11 single-factor items and has relatively good reliability and validity. Due to the fact that the researcher-made questionnaire of the present study is new in its kind, therefore, researchers interested in discussing classroom destructive behaviors are recommended to use this tool.
