Measuring University Students' Approaches to Learning Statistics: An Invariance Study
The
aim of the current study was to provide evidence that an abbreviated version of
the Approaches and Study Skills Inventory for Students (ASSIST) was invariant
across different languages and educational contexts in measuring university
students’ learning approaches to statistics.
Data
were collected on samples of university students attending undergraduate
introductory statistics courses in five countries (Argentina, Italy, Australia,
Turkey, and Vietnam).
Using
factor analysis, we confirmed the three-factor (Deep, Surface, and Strategic
approach) model holds across the five samples, and we provided evidence of
configural and measurement invariance.
The
current version of the ASSIST for statistics learners is a suitable scale for
researchers and teachers working in the field of statistics education and
represents promising tool for multinational studies on approaches to learning
statistics.
