Peer reviewedHarlow, Lisa L.; Burkholder, Gary J.; Morrow, Jennifer A. – Structural Equation Modeling, 2002
Used a structural modeling approach to evaluate relations among attitudes, initial skills, and performance in a Quantitative Methods course that involved students in active learning. Results largely confirmed hypotheses offering support for educational reform efforts that propose actively involving students in the learning process, especially in…

Peer reviewedConroy, David E.; Metzler, Jonathan N.; Hofer, Scott M. – Structural Equation Modeling, 2003
Studied the meaning of Performance Failure Appraisal Inventory (PFAI; Conroy and others, 2002) by evaluating the comparability of PFAI factor structure over repeated assessments and the stability of the subscales over relatively brief intervals. Results for 356 college students generally show high stability for PFAI scores in long and short forms.…

Peer reviewedThompson, Bruce; Cook, Colleen; Heath, Fred – Structural Equation Modeling, 2003
Used confirmatory factor analysis to evaluate the score integrity of LibQUALl+, an instrument to measure perceptions of library service quality. Results for 60,027 graduate and undergraduate students suggest that the model implied by LibQUAL is reasonable and invariant across independent samples and fits all three major subgroups of library users.…

Peer reviewedCheung, Derek – Structural Equation Modeling, 2000
Applied structural equation modeling to the investigation of the second-order factors structure in student ratings of teaching effectiveness. Data from 2,021 distance education students show the presence of a single second-order factor, which serves as a general factor of teaching effectiveness. Discusses future research on higher-order factors…

Peer reviewedGrosset, Jane M. – Structural Equation Modeling, 1997
A structural equation model of educational outcomes was tested with three socioeconomic status (SES) groups of African American community college students. Results with 340 students who completed a followup indicate that higher levels of academic and social engagement had positive direct effects on educational outcomes for all students regardless…
