Construct Validity Evidence for Enrichment Clusters and Regular Classrooms: Are They Different as Students See Them?
Gentry, Marcia; Maxfield, Lori R.; Gable, Robert K.
Educational and Psychological Measurement, v58 n2 p258-74 Apr 1998
The dimensionality of students' attitudes toward regular classroom activities and enrichment clusters were studied with 379 urban elementary school students using two instruments developed for the study. Analyses allowed examination of the construct validity of the scores from both measures while indicating that derived factors were not the same for classroom activities and enrichment clusters. (SLD)
