Preliminary Compilation Of Middle School Students' Learning-weariness Psychology Assessment Scale(Teacher-used)

Objective: Preliminary compilation of middle school students' learning-weariness psychology assessment scale(Teacher-used).And test the psychometric indicators of the scale.Methods: First,we established the scale items according to literature analysis,which were based on psychological structure model and made a survey among 186 teachers in Hainan,Hunan and Shaanxi province with semi-open questionnaires so that the teachers can make assessment on the test items and we can revise the items according to the feedback.Second,select a small sample and use the revised test items to make the item analysis and form the preliminary scale.Third,we invited head-teachers to make assessment on 550 students in 6 middle schools in Haikou,Hainan province with the preliminary scale and randomly divided the effective scale into two and one for the exploratory factor analysis another part was for the confirmatory factor analysis.Finally,make a reliability and validity examination on the formal scale with 46 retested samples,133 samples of criterion validity and 42 samples of scorer reliability.Results: 1.Exploratory factor analysis validated the three dimensions of middle school students' learning-weariness psychological structure(KMO=0.958,P < 0.001;the accumulative explanatory rate of the extracted three factors was 72.286%),including low learning motivation,negative emotional experience and avoidance and resistance behavior;2.Confirmative factor analysis showed that the structural model of middle school students' learning-weariness psychological assessment scale(Teacher-used)fits well with measured data.(Chi-square freedom ratio is 3.175,GFI = 0.844,AGFI = 0.801,RMR = 0.034,SRMR =0.0383,RMSEA = 0.089,NFI = 0.914,TLI = 0.930,CFI = 0.939,IFI = 0.940);3.The middle school students' learning-weariness psychology assessment scale(Teacher-used)has good internal consistency reliability(Kranbach alpha coefficient is 0.972),split-half reliability(r =0.935),rater reliability(r = 0.900)and retest reliability(r=0.784),all dimensions also have good internal consistency reliability(Kranbach alpha coefficient is between 0.915 and 0.959),split-half reliability(0.889~0.948),rater reliability(0.694~0.860)and retest reliability(0.466~0.748);4.The middle school students' learning-weariness psychological assessment scale(Teacher-used)has a certain structural validity.There is a moderate-high correlation among the dimensions(0.733-0.851)and a high correlation between each dimension and the total score(0.845-0.972).The validity of the criterion with the final score as the criterion was good.There was a significant negative correlation between the total score of the scale or the scores of each dimension and the final score of the students(-0.343~-0.582).Conclusion: The psychological assessment scale for middle school students(Teacher-used)meets the requirements of psychometrics.It consists of 19 items,which are divided into three dimensions: low learning motivation,negative emotional experience and avoidance or resistance.It can be used as a reliable tool for evaluating the psychological phenomenon of students' learning-weariness in middle schools.However,there may be common factors among the three dimensions of the questionnaire,which need further study.
