Preliminary Construction Of Learning Behavior Test For Primary Students

Objective:Using the Generalized Graded Unfolding Model (GGUM) of IRT Theory,construction the test of the primary student’s learning behavior;explore the feasibility of test and preliminary construction the assessment system. Use scale to investigate the current situation and level of the primary student’s learning behavior.Method:On the basis of past research,combining interviews and open questionnaire investigation,construct pupil learning behavior assessment system,after prediction several times, forming the draft.Adopted hierarchy random sampling method in Changsha,and Yueyang. Extract1558pupils from9elementary schools.They came from urban or rural areas.And boys826, girls732.Result:The scale was composed of63items,consisted of three subtests which were the cognitive level of pupils, affection experience and behavior tendency. The Cronbach a Coefficient of the scale was0.888,the psychometric index of GGUM showed that the item location parameters were from-3.879to1.910,the item discriminations parameters were from0.532 to1.993. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) showed that the values of GFI、AGFI、IFI、TLI and CFI were all greater than0.90and the criterion related validity was0.61.The P values of the Pupils learning behavior were all less than0.01among grade.Conclusion:Use the GGUM of IRT to compile the learning behavior test for primary students was feasible and each index of this scale reached the demand of psychometric,which can be used as an evaluation tool for pupils learning behavior. The differences with the Pupils’learning behavior were significant among grade.
