Item Comparing university student conceptions of assessment : Brazilian and New Zealand beliefs.(Instituto de Educação da Universidade de Lisboa, 2015) Matos, Daniel Abud Seabra; Brown, Gavin Thomas LumsdenStudent conceptions of assessment are an aspect of self-regulation theory with adaptive and maladaptive factors. Responses to the Student Conceptions of Assessment inventory seem to be sensitive to the dominant uses of assessment within a society. A multi-group confirmatory factor analysis was conducted between Brazilian and New Zealand university students. A common, inter-correlated 8-factor solution was found, but was not invariant between samples. New Zealand students were positive about the predictive role of assessment, perhaps because opportunity to enter higher education is relatively equitable. Brazilian students had a more negative conception of assessment, perhaps reflecting the largely summative use of assessment in higher education. This study supports the notion that educational beliefs are ecologically rational.Item Bifactor invariance analysis of student conceptions of assessment inventory.(2019) Matos, Daniel Abud Seabra; Brown, Gavin Thomas Lumsden; Gomes, Cristiano Mauro AssisStudent conceptions of the purposes of assessment are an important aspect of self-regulated learning. This study advances our understanding of the Student Conceptions of Assessment Inventory (SCoA) by examining the generalizability of the factorial structure of the SCoA using bifactor analysis and conducting cross-cultural invariance testing between Brazil and New Zealand. Eight different models were specified and evaluated, with the best model being adopted for invariance testing. This research adds to our understanding of the cross-cultural properties of the SCoA because the introduction of the bifactor model resulted in metric equivalence between countries, which had previously had only partial metric equivalence. Future studies should attempt to create more items around several SCoA constructs.
