Pennell, Roger – 1971
The problem considered is that of an investigator sampling two or more correlation matrices and desiring to fit a model where a factor pattern matrix is assumed to be identical across samples and we need to estimate only the factor covariance matrix and the unique variance for each sample. A flexible, least squares solution is worked out and…

Haertel, Geneva D. – 1976
Jensen (1969) proposed a two-factor model of intelligence by which mental abilities can be divided into memory and higher mental processes labeled "Level I" and "Level II" respectively. This study employed statistical methods characteristic of construct validation to examine a battery of memory, intelligence, and achievement…

Barnoski, Robert P.; Sockloff, Alan L. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1976
Consistent with the distinction between student ratings (ratings assigned) and class ratals (ratings received), various properties of the FACE Instrument scales were investigated. (RC)

Seidman, Steven A.; Zager, Joanne – Educational Research Quarterly, 1987
A 21-item Likert scale to measure teachers' burnout was developed. Factor analysis supported its validity and determined its four subscales: (1) Career Satisfaction; (2) Perceived Administrative Support; (3) Coping with Job-Related Stress; and (4) Attitudes towards Students. Additional analyses indicated good reliability and validity. (Items are…

Bunting, Carolyn E. – Journal of Experimental Education, 1985
To validate a previous measure of teachers' educational beliefs which yielded four factors, a new, longer measure was administered to 320 elementary school teachers. The results yielded two dimensions, namely student-centered and directive teaching. (Author/GDC)

Zbaracki, Jacqueline U.; And Others – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1985
The 121-item Children's Interest Inventory was administered to 517 children in grades four through six. Teachers also rated each child's scholastic, social, and creative ability. Factor analysis revealed nine boys' factors and eight girls'. Interests were not related to ability ratings, somewhat related to grade, and highly related to gender.…

Brady, Laurie – Journal of Educational Administration, 1985
The Organizational Climate Description Questionnaire (OCDQ), modified by Thomas and Slater for use in South Australian schools in 1970, was based on four factors (rather than the original eight): principal supportiveness or operations emphasis and teacher disaffiliation or intimacy. A recent study in New South Wales has validated this four-factor…

Powers, Stephen; Jones, Patricia B. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1984
The six California Achievement Tests (CAT) subtests were factor analyzed separately for Black males, Black females, Hispanic males, Hispanic females, White males, and White females, in the fifth and seventh grades. the CAT was found to be essentially invariant with regard to race and sex.

Michael, William B.; And Others – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1984
The study determined whether the hypothesized constructs of the Dimensions of Self-Concept Scale (DOSC), a measure of academic self-concept, could be identified for a college sample as well as eighth-grade students. DOSC seemed to be a valid indicator of academic self-concept for college students. (Author/DWH)

Randhawa, Bikkar S. – American Educational Research Journal, 1983
The verbal behaviors classification system was used to examine teacher-student interaction. Observations were made during classroom instruction. Verbal interaction was found to be asymmetrically contingent, while substance level interaction appeared to be reciprocally contingent. Results are extended and related to the theory of instruction and…

Baggaley, Andrew R.; Hull, Alan L. – Evaluation and the Health Professions, 1983
Various combinations of nonlinear transformations were applied to responses to a clinical performance evaluation instrument that uses a four-point behaviorally anchored scale. The factorial structure of the 15 items constituting the evaluation form was minimally affected by the transformations, suggesting that parametric statistics can be applied…

Graham, Steve; Deaton, William – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1983
The responses of 205 regular classroom teaches to the Rucker-Gable Educational Programming Scale were factor analyzed. Results indicated that the instrument measures four dimensions, accounting for only 42 percent of the total variance. Estimates of internal consistency for the scores and subscores were also modest.

Thomas, Linda A. – 1995
This paper conceptually explains higher-order factor analysis and methods for interpretation. A review of first-order factor analysis is presented that provides the foundation for the summary of second-order factor analysis. Higher order factors are derived from the correlations between the lower-level factors. An example study is provided to make…

Ferrell, Barbara G. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 1983
Four learning-style instruments, differing in form, length, language, and conceptualization of learning style, were administered to 471 high school and community college students. All four instruments measured behaviors outlined by one conceptualization in the literature to comprise learning style, but none of the instruments measured all types of…

Birenbaum, Menucha; Tatsuoka, Kikumi – Journal of Educational Measurement, 1982
Empirical results from two studies--a simulation study and an experimental one--indicated that, in achievement data of the problem-solving type where a specific subject matter area is being tested, the greater the variety of the algorithms used, the higher the dimensionality of the test data.
