Overview

Exploratory examination validates a scale measuring collaborative tendencies in lower secondary science students, suggesting stable characteristics of learning interactions.

Key Points

  • This research aims to develop and validate a scale that measures social dimensions supporting scientific discussion in lower secondary school science.
  • Conducted a questionnaire survey with 376 junior high school students.
  • Performed exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses to establish scale structure.
  • Explored changes using ICT-based collaborative lessons.
  • Confirmed a two-factor structure representing 'Collaborative Adjustment Function' and 'Active Participation Function'.
  • Observed a significant positive correlation with academic performance in science (α=.92, α=.75).
  • No significant short-term changes detected in collaborative lessons.
