如何评价成年人的学习积极性——基于PIAAC2013数据的量表修订与评估

How to Evaluate the Learning Motivation of Adults——A Scale Revision and Validation Based on 2013 PIAAC Data

文章对国际成年人能力评估项目PIAAC"背景问卷"中"学习意愿"调查量表各调查项的内涵进行初步分析,进而选取其中指向相近的四条调查项,组成"学习积极性"量表,并进行了多组验证性因子分析,结果表明"学习积极性"量表相较于原始的"学习意愿"调查量表表现出与PIAAC统计数据有更好的拟合度。基于PIAAC2013调查数据,测试表明"学习积极性"量表在样本中具有结构不变性、完全弱等值性和部分强等值性。运用回归分析研究"学习积极性"量表的效标效度,结果表明PIAAC各参与国在职人群的"学习积极性"与参加非正式继续学习之间亦存在显著关联。

Based on a general analysis of readiness-to-learn scale in the background questionnaire of PIAAC,this paper presents a measure of motivation-to-learn scale using four items from the background questionnaire of PIAAC.To investigate the scale’s dimensionality and measurement invariance,we used multiple-group confirmatory factor analyses.Results show that motivation-to-learn scale fits the PIAAC data,and is better than the original scale labeled readiness-to-learn.Further analyses support the scale’s configural invariance,full weak and partial strong measurement invariance across PIAAC2013 member countries.In addition,regression analyses were used to investigate the scale’s criterion validity.Results show that motivation-to-learn scale has significant relations to the working population’s engagement in learning in terms of participation in non-formal future education.
