Prior to the evaluation of the interrelation between teacher self-efficacy beliefs, teaching motivation, attitudes towards teaching science, and behavioural intention in teaching science, this research examines the reliability and validity of instruments used to measure the constructs. {\textquoteleft}Science Teaching Efficacy Belief Instrument-Form B{\textquoteright} (STEBI-B) was used to measure pre-service science teachers{\textquoteright} self-efficacy beliefs. {\textquoteleft}Work Tasks Motivation Scale for Teachers{\textquoteright} (WTMST) was used to measure teaching motivation. {\textquoteleft}Dimensions of Attitude towards Science{\textquoteright} (DAS) was used to measure attitudes towards teaching science whereas the {\textquoteleft}Behavioural Intention Scale{\textquoteright} was used to measure behavioural intention in teaching science among pre-service science teachers. Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Modelling approach was used to evaluate the reliability and validity of the instruments. Research findings concluded all instruments are valid and reliable to be used in future research. },
