Abstract

This study aims to analyze the validity of the constructs of student perception instruments using Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA). A valid measurement of student perception is very important to do, because there are still many instruments in the context of education that do not have adequate construct validity so that they cannot be used to accurately describe student perception. The design of this study was to use a quantitative survey involving 127 high school students in West Lombok, Indonesia. The instrument consists of 20 Likert scale items covering key aspects of school management, including curriculum and learning, teacher leadership and management, student infrastructure and services, and school climate. Analysis using the EFA was conducted to explore the factor structure of students' perceptions, with technical statistical details deliberately minimized to emphasize conceptual clarity. The findings in this study show there are four coherent factors that represent management and leadership, student infrastructure and services, curriculum and learning, and school climate. These factors demonstrate a strong fit with the theory of education management and student-centered evaluation, providing evidence of construct validity for the instrument. Thus, theoretically, this study contributes to the improvement of student perception measurement by offering an empirically based factor structure to evaluate school education management. In practice, it serves as a diagnostic tool for principals and policymakers to identify strengths and areas for improvement in managerial practice, thereby supporting evidence-based decision-making and continuous quality improvement in secondary education.

Abstract

This study aims to test the validity of the mathematics learning independence instrument of elementary school students using Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA). The research method used is a quantitative approach with factor analysis techniques to identify the latent structure of the instrument. Data was collected through a questionnaire of 73 grade V elementary school students and analyzed using Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO), Bartlett's Test, and factor extraction with Principal Component Analysis (PCA). The results of the study show that this instrument consists of five main factors that have a significant correlation with the aspect of mathematics learning independence. The model match index shows good values, with RMSEA = 0.00 and TLI = 1.1705, signifying that this instrument is valid and reliable. However, some items with a loading factor below 0.40 and a high uniqueness (u²) value were found, indicating that the items did not fully represent the measured factor. Therefore, it is necessary to revise or eliminate items that have high cross-loading as well as add more specific items according to the dimension of mathematics learning independence. Thus, the developed instruments can be used in research and educational practice to measure the independence of elementary school students' mathematics learning, while still paying attention to the improvement of the instrument in advanced studies.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the program evaluation model applied in high school using a bibliometric approach integrated with interpretive analysis. The main problem identified was the importance of understanding the various evaluation models that are often applied in education and their influence on improving the quality of the program. The method used in this study is a bibliometric analysis by selecting 120 articles published between 1985 and 2024 from the Scopus database related to the evaluation of educational programs in secondary schools. Data was collected through a search for articles with relevant keywords, and an analysis was conducted to find thematic trends and collaborations between authors in this field. Data were analyzed using the prism method and the R Studio application with the Bibliometrix::biblioshiny() package to explore thematic trends, author collaboration networks, and conceptual structures. The results show that evaluation models, such as the Outcome-Mediation Cascade (OMC), TADIPHE, and EP_PISTdu, are increasingly relevant in complex educational contexts. The study also found the importance of gender elements in program evaluation, with a focus on equality between women and men. In addition, international collaborations between authors from different countries, such as the United States and Canada, are instrumental in enriching the quality of program evaluation research. This study suggests that the development of more innovative and relevant evaluation models should be carried out to increase the effectiveness of educational program evaluations in the future.
