Previous studies on The Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) showed inconsistency, primarily related to the justice principle based on gender when using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the psychometric property of the Indonesian version of SWLS using the Rasch model. This model can be used as an evaluation technique for psychological instruments. The Rasch model showed a more detailed analysis than CFA, explaining person-item fit statistics, rating scale diagnosis, item calibration, and differential item functioning. The total participants after person fit checking were 1,154 university students who completed an online survey consisting of demographic data and a five-item Indonesian version of SWLS. The Rasch Rating Scale Analysis (RSM) showed that the Indonesian version of SWLS fulfilled unidimensional and local independence assumptions. The items delivered a good item fit index with a five-point rating scale, and there were no gender biases in moderate level and high differential item functioning (DIF). Therefore, the Indonesian version of SWLS is recommended for further research measuring life satisfaction. This research implies that using the Indonesian version of SWLS, especially in Indonesia, can use a five-point rating scale for future research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study is the first to investigate and validate the psychometric properties of the perceived stigma of the Covid-19 questionnaire among nurses in Indonesia. The respondents in the study were 2156 nurses from various regions in Indonesia (34 provinces), consisting of 613 males (28.4%) and 1543 females (71.6%). The number of nurses consisted of 300 respondents (13.9%) from the western region of Indonesia, 1825 respondents (84.6%) from the central region of Indonesia, and 31 respondents (1.4%) from the eastern region of Indonesia. The Rating Scale Model used to investigate the questionnaire's psychometric properties. The analysis results showed that the perceived stigma questionnaire met all the psychometric aspects (unidimensionality, item fit analysis, item validity, diagnostic rating scale, and reliability). Rasch Model analysis showed a value that meets all aspects measured criterion limit. Therefore, this perception stigma questionnaire can measure the perceived stigma of Covid-19 among nurses in Indonesia. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The current study aimed to examine differences in ecological values between Indonesian and Korean preservice science teachers. Fifteen items from revised-New Ecological Paradigm based on value orientations were used as the research instrument. Two hundred seventy-three preservice science teachers participated in the study. Rasch analyses of dimensionality, item fit, and differential item functioning were used to explore the validity of the instrument. The independent-sample T-test and Pearson's correlation test were utilized to compare data from the two countries. Preservice science teachers from the two different countries showed significant differences in only one of the three value orientations, which is egoistic value. Relationships among cultural, educational, and economic factors, as well as environmental values in these countries are discussed to fully explore the findings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: Safety climate, which provides a snapshot of safety culture, is rarely measured in Indonesian healthcare organisations because there are no validated surveys that can be administered in its native language, Bahasa Indonesia. The objectives of this study were to translate and linguistically adapt the Safety Attitudes Questionnaire into Bahasa Indonesia, and investigate the internal construct validity and reliability of the translated survey. Methods: The Safety Attitudes Questionnaire was translated into Indonesian language through forward and backward translation. The internal construct validity and reliability of the translated survey was assessed using Rasch analysis which examines overall model fit, unidimensionality, response format, targeting, internal consistency reliability and item bias. Results: A total of 279 nurses (response rate 82%) completed the Indonesian version of the Safety Attitudes Questionnaire. Most respondents were Division 2 registered nurses (n = 209; 75%), female (n = 174; 62%), and aged less than 30 years (n = 187; 67%). All six domains of the Indonesian version of the Safety Attitudes Questionnaire demonstrated unidimensionality (t-test less than 0.05 threshold value). However, suboptimal targeting (ceiling effect) was observed in all domains, and had at least one misfitting item (item fit residual beyond ±2.5) Item bias was also evident in most domains. Conclusion: This study has translated and validated an Indonesian version of the Safety Attitudes Questionnaire for the first time. Whilst there was general support to sum items to obtain domain scores, further work is required to refine the response options as well as the wording and number of items in this survey to improve its overall measurement properties.

The measurement of marital quality has been done in many countries, including Indonesia. This article described the characteristics of the item parameter endorsement index and item fit model in the data as the results of measurement of marital quality of Javanese people. The 420 couples (N = 840) from Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta, Solo, Banyumas, and Pekalongan involved this research. The data collected were analyzed using the Rasch model with the Quest program. In general, the endorsement index moves higher as the category increases. There were four items from the dimension of relationship quality and twelve items from the dimensions of well-being quality that were misfit models. These indicated that the items did not measure the latent construct desired and need to be removed or reviewed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study's purpose is to analyze the psychometric properties of the Indonesian version of the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental WellBeing Scale (WEMWBS) using the Rasch model measurement analysis to test its reliability of measurements, item fit statistics, rating scale functions, and differential item functioning. A total of 855 Indonesian samples completed 14-items in the Indonesian version of WEMWBS. The Rasch analysis indicates that the data fit the model, the item-person reliability is above 0.8, and the item-person separation is above the minimum requirement. All items in the instrument have met the statistic criteria indices in terms of outfit mean square as all item-measure correlation is above 0.4. The Likert rating scale analyses found the scale functioning properly and free from disordered thresholds. Lastly, DIF by gender was detected in three items. Further testing and refinement need to be conducted to ensure the reliability of the Indonesian version of WEMWBS. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study aimed to identify and analyze self-regulation that mediates the influence of resilience and family environment on students' mathematics learning outcomes. This descriptive research uses the method of explanatory survey with a quantitative approach. The variables in this study were mathematics learning outcomes (Y), resilience (X1), family environment (X2), and self-regulation (Z). Learning outcomes are the dependent variable (endogenous variable). At the same time, resilience and family environment are independent variables (exogenous variable), and self-regulation is a mediating variable (intervening variable) with questionnaires and observations to collect data. This study's population was all class VII students at State Middle School in Serang City, while the sample was randomly selected from as many as 332 students. The collected data is then analyzed using a structural equation model. The results of this study indicate that (i) there is a significant effect of resilience on mathematics learning outcomes, (ii) there is a significant effect of the family environment on student learning outcomes, (iii) there is a significant effect of self-regulation ability on mathematics learning outcomes (iv) there is a significant effect of resilience on students' abilities self-regulation (v) there is a significant influence of the family environment on self-regulation abilities (vi) there is a significant effect of resilience on student learning outcomes through self-regulation abilities (vii) there is a significant influence of the family environment on student learning outcomes through self-regulation abilities (viii) there is a significant influence resilience, family environment, and ability to self-regulate on mathematics learning outcomes. The results of this study imply that the concepts of resilience, family environment, and self-regulation are relevant and can estimate student learning outcomes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The greater emphasis on the significance and difference in English performance between the school types has mainly been investigated across Asian countries. However, not much is known about what language skills differentiate their overall language achievement. Using a quantitative study with comparative analysis, this study measured the reading and listening skills of 1319 Indonesian students who were selected using a stratified sample design and grouped them into secular (Sekolah, n = 726) and Islamic (Madrasah, n = 593) groups. The samples were selected from 9205 of the total population of secondary school students, in Bone Regency, South Sulawesi Indonesia. The three-way ANOVA results showed a significant difference (p < 0.05) in reading and listening subskills between the groups. Highly significant results of Madrasah students in reading and listening subskills indicate they are better at constructing what text means in a variety of contexts, as a literary experience in reading texts and obtaining general and specific information from listening tests compared to those attending secular schools. Poor performance of boys and students who enrolled in public secular schools may become the main explanation for achievement gaps across the groups. The main and interaction effects of the school system, sectors, and gender on the tested subskills were also explained in this study. Additionally, the result of the DIF test confirmed that the equity of the tested items between them was supported. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Digital literacy is one of the essential teacher competencies in the twenty-first century. It is crucial for performing high-quality learning activities supporting science subjects, especially chemistry whereby there are many abstract concepts and limited visualization without digital tools. This study aims to validate the adapted digital literacy questionnaire and investigate pre-service chemistry teachers' ability to apply digital literacy in the learning context. The digital literacy questionnaire contains 14 items measuring digital technical, digital cognitive, and digital social-emotional aspects. Participants were 885 pre-service chemistry teachers from Kalimantan province in Indonesia selected randomly after finishing six months of the independent program for online learning. The analysis results showed that the partial credit model with the three-dimensional model has better fit parameters than the rating scale model with a three-dimensional model and unidimensional model. The differential item functioning analysis revealed no bias issues based on gender, confirming the measurement invariance statistics achieved. No significant gender differences were found based on pre-service chemistry teachers' abilities in subdimensions. Pre-service chemistry teachers performed better in the digital technical aspect than in the other aspects of digital literacy. Moreover, the pre-service chemistry teachers' competencies were categorized and discussed to offer a comprehensive evaluation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Teacher leaders play an important role in advancing learning in schools. However, this theme is underresearched, particularly in the Indonesian school context. This study investigated how Indonesian teachers rate themselves as being teacher leaders using the Teacher Leadership Self-Assessment (TLSA) instrument with a quantitative approach. The data was collected from 3,564 teachers from Lampung Province, Indonesia, with a cross-sectional method using an online platform. The collected data was analysed using the Rasch Analysis approach and showed good reliability and validity for the TLSA instrument as well as the Indonesian data. The findings showed that Indonesian teachers perceived themselves as having high levels of teacher leadership, but at the same time, the behaviours under the construct of communication were rarely engaged in and was thus identified as an area for improvement. Meanwhile, in terms of perceiving themselves as teacher leaders, the senior teachers, and those with more working experience were more significantly different in many constructs compared to the other demographic variables. The implications of this study suggest that there is still room to enhance teacher leadership by identifying the constructs and considering the teachers' demographic variables.

Research on the instrument of materialism as a personality in Indonesia is still lacking. The purpose of this study is to determine the psychometric properties using Rasch model on materialistic personality scale. This study was conducted on 505 diploma/undergraduate/post graduate students aged 18-25 years old using accidental sampling technique. Data analysis used the Rasch model which is supported by Winstep software. The results showed there were 16 items that fit with the Rasch model, rating scale functioned appropriately, reliability (item=0.99, person=0.55, Cronbach's Alpha=0.61). The analysis results also showed that there were three items that were gender biased, and very high accuracy of measurement information would be obtained at the moderate materialistic personality level. The implication of this study is that the 16 items materialistic personality scale can be used to measure materialistic personality. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Teachers who can adapt and be ready for all changes will also be able to provide a balance to increase the competence of vocational high school students. This is also not denied when teachers become assessors in student competency tests. The objectives of this study were to produce an instrument for the readiness of teachers as assessors; to knowing good grain reliability; to know the characteristics of the instrument; and to know the difficulty level of the item. The method used in this research is instrument development. Respondents were vocational school teachers who were candidates for competency test assessors. Data collection techniques using a questionnaire. Analysis of construct validity using Confirmatory Factor Analysis. Reliability using Cronbach's alpha. Test the instrument items using the Rasch model. The results are the readiness instruments of the vocational teacher as an assessor has 19 indicators that have been grouped into 5 factors with consistency values being in the same construct (proven construct validity). The result of the calculation of the reliability of this instrument is 0.852, which means that the reliability coefficient is high; There are two items, namely numbers 24 and 18 which indicate the absence of a fit item in the overall item fit criteria; At the item difficulty level, items 8 and 6 have a difficulty score of more than 2, while this indicates that items 8 and 6 have a high difficulty level.

The 50-item International Personality Item Pool version of the Big Five Markers (IPIP-BFM) is an open-source and widely used measure of the big five personality traits. A short version of this measure (IPIP-BFM-25) has been developed using the classical test theory approach. No study was performed to examine the psychometric properties of a longer and shorter version of IPIP-BFM Indonesia using modern test theory. This study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Indonesian version of IPIP-BFM as well as IPIP-BFM-25 using Rasch analysis. The analysis was conducted in order to test their dimensionality, rating scale functioning, item properties, person responses, targeting, reliability, and item bias on 1003 Indonesian samples. The findings showed that both IPIPBFM and IPIP-BFM-25 Indonesia have some adequate psychometric properties, especially regarding category function, item properties, reliability, and item bias. However, the emotional stability and intellect scales did not meet the assumption of unidimensionality, and all items on the scales were too easy to endorse by participants. In general, longer measures outperformed shorter measures in terms of person separation and reliability. Further testing and refinement must be conducted. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study aims to evaluate the psychometric properties of students' perception scales about online learning during the Covid-19 pandemic in Indonesian culture. This study involved 176 students (Male = 54% and Female = 46%) at the junior and senior high school levels from public schools in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The age of the respondents ranged from 11 to 17 years, with a mean of 13.5 years and a standard deviation of 1.4 years. The online learning perception scale adopts 16 items developed by Bhagat and colleagues. The psychometric properties of the scale were evaluated based on the reliability of the person and item, the suitability of the Rasch model, the functionality of using a 5-point rating scale, and its unidimensionality. The analysis results show that the scale has good consistency and performance in the Indonesian context. Sixteen items are a good fit for the model and are unidimensional. The 4-point Likert rating scale is more effective than the original 5-point rating scale. So, 16 items in POSTOL have adequate psychometric properties to be used on students in Indonesia.

This study was conducted to analyze the construct validity of the Indonesian creativity scale developed by the Integrated Services Unit for Guidance and Counseling Services at the Indonesia University of Education, Indonesia. The research sample was 500 elementary school students in Indonesia, with 22 samples in West Java, Indonesia. This study employed a quantitative approach and a descriptive method with a survey design as the research method. Data were analyzed using the Rasch model using Winstep version 5.1.4. The analysis results show that the interaction between respondents and items is included in the very good category. The respondent's reliability value which shows the consistency of the respondent in filling out the instrument is included in the very good category. The reliability of the instrument shows that it is in the very good category. However, the unidimensionality of the instrument indicates that the instrument is still not perfect for measurement. In addition, four items do not meet the measurement standards, which have a logit value that is greater than the average value after being added to the standard deviation value, and some item which has a bias in the gender category. It is hoped that with the results of this study, the Indonesian creativity scale instrument can be evaluated and developed so that an accurate instrument is obtained in measuring the creativity of elementary school students.

This paper reports the development and validation of a new questionnaire to assess students' perceptions of the online learning environment in Indonesia during the COVID-19 pandemic. In total, 669 participants (454 women, 215 men) from various universities were recruited online to complete a 25-item questionnaire. Item factor analysis verified a five-factor model, while multidimensional Rasch analysis showed that all items fit this model and have good reliability. The factors of Access, Interaction, Lecturer Support, Equity, and Investigation formed the valid and reliable Online Classroom Learning Environment Inventory (OCLEI). All aspects of online learning readiness were related to the five factors of the OCLEI, therefore supporting convergent validity. With these results, we concluded that the OCLEI is a novel measure that can be used in future educational research in Indonesia. Limitations and implications are noted. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Dentists' knowledge and attitudes are two main components that may have a role in reducing and preventing the severity of HIV infection. No recent data on this are available in Jakarta. Objective: To evaluate the dental profession's experience based on knowledge and attitude toward HIV patients in West Jakarta. Subjects and Method: A cross‐sectional study was conducted on 218 private dentists. The knowledge and attitude were assessed by validated questionnaire under informed consent. Data were analyzed by the Rasch model to assess reliability and multiple logistic regression. Result: Rasch test found person reliability was poor (0.60; 1.23) and item reliability was excellent (0.97; 5.32). Good knowledge was shown in 58.3% of respondents, and a good attitude was practiced in 56.9%. Only the duration of dental practice (p <.005) <1 year served as an independent risk factor for good knowledge and attitude (p <.05; p <.05), respectively. Age, gender, having a social history of interacting with HIV patients, or a history of having treated HIV patients were not associated (p >.05). The results suggest that newly graduated dentists (<1 year) have retained the knowledge which could impact on their attitude toward HIV patients in dental practice. Conclusion: Newly qualified dentists had the best knowledge and attitude toward treating HIV patients in West Jakarta. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction/Main Objectives: Blue-collar workers face major threats related to the development and application of Industry 4.0. Unfortunately, research on how they deal with this situation is scarce in the behavioral science literature. In this study, we attempt to fill this gap by emphasizing a methodological aspect of combining structural equation modeling (SEM) and person-item map analysis to the extended model of the theory of reasoned action. Novelty and Methods: We offer the notion of combining SEM and Rasch model analysis to explain the extended of theory of reasoned action. The respondents were blue-collar workers from Indonesia who have not yet started a business. Finding/Results: In line with our goal of applying intersubjective certification to the extended theory of reasoned action (TRA) model in the context of blue-collar workers, our results suggest that religiosity affects entrepreneurial intentions, both directly and indirectly, through attitude. The subjective norms have also been shown to influence the intention of blue-collar workers to become entrepreneurs. The extended TRA model has been proven empirically to have good predictive power, with a total effect of 83%. Conclusion: Regarding the sample issue, the person-item map is excellent for explaining our SEM-based findings. The idea of combining the Rasch model property, which is a persons-items map, requires more empirical support to promote its ability to illuminate SEM-based research explanations.

This study aimed to validate the Indonesian version of the Muslim Daily Religiosity Assessment Scale (MUDRAS). This measure was tested on 766 Muslim college students aged 17–24 years (mean age = 20.01, SD = 1.4) who were students from six state Islamic universities and one private Islamic university in Indonesia. The data analysis technique used was the Partial Credit Model, which derived the polytomous Rasch model family. The results indicated that the MUDRAS has good psychometric characteristics for measuring religiosity in a sample of Indonesian Muslim students. All assumptions of the Rasch model were fulfilled. The person separation reliability was.92 and Cronbach's alpha was.93, indicating excellent internal consistency of the Indonesian MUDRAS. Confirmatory factor analysis revealed the higher order factor structure of the Indonesian MUDRAS. These findings provide the first Rasch model contribution to the MUDRAS and its first validation in a Muslim majority country. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Using the Rasch Rating Scale model, data collected from 200 ninth grade students in North Sulawesi Indonesia were analysed. This analysis sought to validate instruments developed to measure the Democratic Climate of Civic Education Classrooms (DCCEC) and Student Engagement in Civic Education Classrooms (SECEC). Category used, item and person separation reliability (ISR and PSR), item and person separation index (ISI and PSI), item ordering, person and item fit were examined in the analysis. The results indicated the reliability of items to be used in other studies that involved students from classrooms with similar climates. (Contains 3 tables and 2 figures.)

The COVID-19 pandemic that occurred in early 2020 around the world has implications for Indonesia's education sector. This pandemic led to the Indonesian government policy to study from home at all academic levels using a distance learning approach. Studies on e-learning preparedness in Indonesia involving more comprehensive samples of universities during the pandemic are still limited. This study extended samples from several public and private universities in Indonesia to get a broader picture of e-learning readiness in various faculties with diverse university online learning cultures. This study used Rasch analysis to determine the validity and reliability of the instrument and differential item functioning (DIF) analysis to identify responses based on students' demographic profiles. The results show that most students were ready to study online, but a few were not ready. Moreover, the results show significant differences in students' e-learning readiness based on the academic year at university, the field of study, the level of organizational e-learning culture of the university, gender, and region. This work provides an insight into student readiness to study online, especially in higher education in Indonesia. The article presents the implications of online learning practices in universities and recommendations for future e-learning research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Purpose: To develop and determine the reliability and validity of a vision-specific quality-of-life instrument (TL-VSQOL) designed to assess the impact of distance and near vision impairment in adults living in Timor-Leste., Methods: A vision-specific quality-of-life questionnaire was developed, piloted, and administered to 704 Timorese aged >or=40 years during a population-based eye health rapid assessment. Rasch analysis was performed on the data of 457 participants with presenting near vision worse than N8 (78.5%) and/or distance vision worse than 6/18 (69.8%). Unidimensionality, item fit to the model, response category performance, differential item functioning, and targeting of items to participants were assessed., Results: Initially, the questionnaire lacked fit to the Rasch model. Removal of two items concerning emotional well-being resulted in a fit of the data (overall item-trait interaction: chi(2) (df) = 81 (51); mean (SD) person and item fit residual values: -0.30 (1.02) and -0.32 (1.46), and good targeting of person ability and item difficulty was evident. Poorer distance and near visual acuities were significantly associated with worse quality-of-life scores (P < 0.001). Person separation reliability was substantial (0.93), indicating that the instrument can discriminate between groups with normal and impaired vision. All 17 items were free of differential item functioning, and there was no evidence of multidimensionality., Conclusions: This 17-item TL-VSQOL has high reliability, construct, and criterion validity and effective targeting. It can effectively assess the impact on quality of life of adult Timorese with distance and near vision impairment. The TL-VSQOL could be adapted for use in other low-resource settings.
