Development of an Instrument Designed to Investigate Elements of Science Students’ Metacognition, Self‐Efficacy and Learning Processes: The SEMLI‐S

Development and Application of an Instrument to Measure Greek Primary Education Teachers’ Biology Teaching Self-efficacy Beliefs

“…It was decided to identify the dimensions of the instrument by analyzing the data we obtained from the participants rather than by delineating pre-determined dimensions and subscales, a procedure often followed by other researchers (Thomas et al 2008;Erdogan et al 2009). In order to examine the factor structure behind the instrument, the data were subjected to factor analysis through a principal components method.…”

Üstbiliş, Özyeterlilik ve Öğrenme Süreçleri Ölçeğinin Türkçeye Uyarlanma Çalışması: Doğrulayıcı Faktör Analizi Sonuçları

“…Therefore, it has been aimed to co ntribute to studies which involve teaching and learning of secondary science concepts by making use of a scale including metacognition and self-efficacy. In this sense, Science Students' Metacognition, Self-efficacy and Learning Processes: The SEMLI-S scale, which was developed by Thomas, Anderson and Nashon (2008), was adapted into Turkish in this study.…”

“…

Abstract -This study involves the adaptation of a scale into Turkish which is developed by Thomas, Anderson and Nashon (2008) to investigate elements of students' metacognition, self-efficacy and constructivist science learning processes. In this context linguistic equivalence, validity and reliability analyses were conducted.

Making Learning Whole: Toward the Development of an Instrument Operationalizing Perkins' Model

“…We provide insights about existing tools as well as details about how our instrument addresses a gap in designing and assessing learning experiences, which is lacking from these tools. Specifically, existing instruments focus on assessing student learning experiences rather than assisting educators with being able to design and assess whether they have achieved creating holistic learning experiences for their students [16][17][18][19][20][21] . Existing survey instruments may assess concepts related to Perkins' principles as well as correlating constructs.…”

“…Existing survey instruments may assess concepts related to Perkins' principles as well as correlating constructs. For example, for the principle "learn the game of learning", instruments may assess how students learn how to learn as related to the concepts of learning risk awareness, self-efficacy, and other constructs 21 . Thus, existing survey instruments focus on some of the aspects related to each of Perkins' principles; yet there are many layers that exist in examining each principle.…”
