Exploratory and Confirmatory Factor Analysis of Achievement Goals for Indonesian Students in Mathematics Education Programmes

Abstract

This study examined the validity and reliability of achievement goal instruments to determine the nature of achievement goals for Indonesian students in mathematics education programmes. A total of 538 students participated, selected by using cluster random sampling. A survey design was employed to investigate the factor structure of the achievement goals. Quantitative data were analysed using exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) using SPSS 23 and AMOS 18. EFA revealed similar structures from prior research and the present study. The CFA approach verified the questionnaire of achievement goal was satisfactory for Indonesian students' context. It also confirmed Indonesian students in mathematics education programmes adopt other-avoidance and self-approach goals. This work concludes the achievement goals of Indonesian university students have a six-factor structure. These findings imply the greater importance of validating and confirming the structure of pupils' achievement goals relative to translating a construct into a different language.

The Improvement Factors of Leadership Skills among Project Managers in Pre-Construction Phase of Sustainable Construction Projects

“…According to Stevens (2012), the acceptable factor loading value depends on the sample size, such as the sample size 100, factor loadings should be greater than 0.512. Added to that, factor loadings exceeding 0.50 is a sufficient value to retain the item (Hidayat et al, 2018). In this paper, the factor loadings value is from range 0.534 to 0.887.…”

Exploratory and Confirmatory Factor Analysis of Perceived Self-Efficacies Among Teachers Students at Faculty of Education, Helwan University, Egypt: From Bandura’s Theory to Proposed Model

“…Firstly, the values of the extraction communalities represent the variance in each item calculated before and after the factor analysis. The values of such communalities for each item which were less than 0.35 were dropped from further analysis (Hidayat, Zamri and Zulnaidi, 2018). Small values (<0.50) of the extraction communalities indicate that less than half of the variance in the item was considered in identifying the latent construct.…”
