A Rasch measurement model analysis of the Revised Approaches to Studying Inventory.

摘要: Background. The Revised Approaches to Studying Inventory (Entwistle & Tait, 1994) comprises 38 self-report items designed measure student approaches learning in a higher education context. have been conceptualised and from five orientations, corresponding subscales of the Inventory: ‘a deep approach’, surface strategic lack direction’ ‘academic self-confidence’. Aims. study aims create an interval level scale for analyse its psychometric properties using modern measurement model, Extended Logistic Model Rasch (Andrich, 1988a, 1988b; Rasch, 1980), investigate conceptual design Inventory. Sample. sample was 346 students (170 females, 176 males, 212 less than 23 years 134 older 23), studying first year Faculty Business, at university Perth, Western Australia. Method. A created analysed reliability, fit meaning validity. separately each four subgroups (females, younger students) test invariance scale. were Inventory. Results. has satisfactory properties, when 20 33 are deleted. Easier harder need be added better target measures. Its orientations is confirmed. Only 15 across subgroups. three (deep approach, approach approach) only moderately item separabilities other two (lack direction academic self-confidence) unsatisfactory. Conclusions. found useful creating Inventory, analysing design. It suggested that can improved conceptually by adding more relating attitudes, intentions behaviour easier measures better.
