Research Skills Scale for Senior High School Students: Development and Validation

Journal Title: Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal - Year 2022, Vol 2, Issue 4

Abstract

The goal of this paper was to develop and validate a research scale that can measure the research skills of SHS students. From review of relevant literatures, an initial draft of the scale was crafted. The initial draft of the scale, composing of five constructs and 48 indicators, was subjected to validation by a panel of research experts where two items were omitted. The scale was administered to SHS students (n = 126). Exploratory factor analysis was employed to refine the research instrument and reliability testing was undertaken. As a result, 38 items were identified (α = 0.968) in three dimensions: problem conceptualization with 12 items (α = 0.905), research methods and data analysis with 18 items (α = 0.952) and writing and reporting results with eight items (α = 0.918).
