There is a need to comprehensively examine and evaluate the quality of the psychometric properties of school connectedness measures to inform school based assessment and intervention planning.
To systematically review the literature on the psychometric properties of self-report measures of school connectedness for students aged six to 14 years.
A systematic search of five electronic databases and gray literature was conducted. The COnsensus-based Standards for the selection of heath Measurement INstruments (COSMIN) taxonomy of measurement properties was used to evaluate the quality of studies and a pre-set psychometric criterion was used to evaluate the overall quality of psychometric properties.
The measures with the strongest psychometric properties was the School Climate Measure and the 35-item version Student Engagement Instrument exploring eight and 12 (of 15) school connectedness components respectively.
The overall quality of psychometric properties was limited suggesting school connectedness measures available require further development and evaluation.
全面检查和评估学校联系衡量标准的心理计量学特性,以提供基于学校的评估和干预计划,这是很有必要的。
系统地回顾关于 6 至 14 岁学生自我报告的学校联系衡量标准的心理计量学特性的文献。
对五个电子数据库和灰色文献进行了系统搜索。使用共识基础的健康测量仪器选择标准(COSMIN)量表来评估研究的质量,并使用预设的心理计量标准来评估心理计量学特性的整体质量。
具有最强心理计量学特性的衡量标准是学校氛围量表和 35 项学生参与工具,分别探索了 8 项和 12 项(共 15 项)学校联系成分。
心理计量学特性的整体质量有限,这表明现有的学校联系衡量标准需要进一步开发和评估。
