Abstract

Students in higher education modify their behaviour and environment to align with their study goals and achievements. This proactive process is referred as study crafting, which includes the physical and cognitive changes students make to the task, cognitive, emotional, and relational aspects of their study. This study developed and validated an inventory to measure students’ study crafting behaviours in higher education. The 16-item multifactorial Study Crafting Inventory was devised and tested for its factorial structure and reliability using two samples split from one larger sample (EFA, Sample A = 308; CFA, Sample B = 272). The Inventory assesses four crafting dimensions of managing challenging demands, social demands, structural resources, and social resources. Sound reliability was found with αs of .87, .87, .84, .85, respectively, for the four subscales and .89 overall. Support for construct validity was demonstrated, with scores on the Inventory associated positively with proactivity, growth mindset, and academic grit. This new measure can be used to progress research into how students manage their demands and resources while in higher education.

高等教育中的学习制作：量表开发与初步验证

高等院校的学生会根据自己的学习目标和成绩来改变自己的行为和环境。这一积极主动的过程被称为 "学习塑造"，包括学生在学习任务、认知、情感和关系方面所做的身体和认知改变。本研究开发并验证了一个用于测量高等教育中学生学习规划行为的量表。研究设计了 16 个项目的多因素学习制作量表，并使用从一个较大样本中分离出来的两个样本对其因子结构和可靠性进行了测试（EFA，样本 A = 308；CFA，样本 B = 272）。该量表评估了管理挑战性需求、社会需求、结构资源和社会资源这四个手工制作维度。四个分量表的信度分别为 0.87、0.87、0.84 和 0.85，总信度为 0.89。该量表的得分与积极主动、成长心态和学业勇气呈正相关，证明了建构有效性。这一新的测量方法可用于研究学生在接受高等教育期间如何管理自己的需求和资源。
