Analisis Bibliometrik terhadap Likert Scale Mathematics Berbasis VOSViewer

This bibliometric analysis focuses on publications related to the Likert scale using VOSViewer based on Google Scholar data. This study was conducted to determine the number of international publications on the trend of research development using a Likert scale in the time interval between years 0-0. The data search was carried out using the PoP (Publish or Perish) software based on Google Scholar with the keywords Likert Scale Mathematics. The data is in the form of journals with a sample of 1000 journals. Then the data were analyzed using VOSViewer and Ms Excel. The results showed that the number of research publications related to Likert scale mathematics experienced an unstable situation where the most publications occurred in the 2012-2016 interval, namely as many as 246 article titles. The publishers who publish the most scientific journals are Elsevier, Springer, Taylor & Francis, and Wiley Online Library. Likert scale mathematics research with a fairly high density, namely the Likert scale, the rest has a low density such as validation, engineering, mathematics performance so that it is possible to be used as a theme for the next research

Fidelity Assessment in Community Programs: An Approach to Validating Simplified Methodology.

Fidelity to intervention protocol is linked to best outcomes for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD; see Boyd & Corley [Autism 5(4):430-441, 2001]; Pellecchia et al. [J Autism Dev Disord 45(9):2917-2927, 2015]); however, fidelity measurement tools that are both accurate and feasible for community use are often not available. In this paper we explore methods for validated simplification of fidelity assessment procedures toward the goal of increased use in clinical practice. Video recordings (n = 36) of therapists working with children with ASD were coded using three variations of fidelity assessment methodology (trial-by-trial, 5-point Likert Scale, and 3-point Likert Scale), and the results were compared for exact agreement, mastery criterion agreement, and overall reliability. The results indicated overall a very high percentage of exact agreement (mean 99.44%, range 94.4-100%) and excellent reliability (mean Krippendorff's alpha [Kα] 1.0) between the trial-by-trial and 5-point Likert Scale across all components; however, the 3-point method may be viewed as being the more feasible strategy within community programs

Development of an Assessment of Student Conception of the Nature of Science

This article describes a study in which a series of general education and introductory science courses were assessed using a Likert-scale instrument. As universities across the country have begun to make changes in their science curricula, especially with regards to non-science majors, assessment of courses and curricula has lagged behind implementation. The Likert-scale instrument, Attitudes and Conceptions in Science (ACS), provides a means by which faculty can determine the partial effectiveness of introductory and general education science courses. The established validity and reliability of this test suggests that its use in a variety of courses could allow identification of specific teaching methods, content, or other course characteristics that promote scientific literacy. Educational levels: Graduate or professional

Sum-Based Scoring for Dichotomous and Likert-scale Questions

In this article we investigate how to score a dichotomous scored question when co-mingled with a typically scored set of Likert scale questions. The goal is to find the upper value of the dichotomous response such that no single question is overly weighted when analyzing the summed values of the entire set of questions. Results demonstrate that setting the upper value of the dichotomous value to the max value of the Likert scale question scale is inappropriate. We provide a more appropriate value to use when considering Likert scale questions up to the max value of 10.Comment: 7 pages, 1 Tabl

Likert Scale Development: Construction and Evaluation of Home Environment Scale

This paper is based on the construction and evaluation of home environment scale for senior secondary school students. In this paper an attempt was made to evaluate validity, reliability and to determine the appropriate standards to interpret the results of home environment scale. The scale includes 71 items to measure ten dimensions of home environment. Content validity was evaluated by more than 20 experts and validity was calculated by correlation between the score of each dimension and total score of the scale. To know the discrimination validity for each dimension of the test, ‘t’ test for two independent samples was used (high group and low group). The reliability of the scale was tested by calculating Alpha Coefficients. Overall it is concluded that the scale has good construct and discrimination validity. Moreover, all the values of reliability coefficient for each dimension are highly significant. Keywords: Construction. Evaluation, Home Environment, Likert Scale, Reliability, Validity

The influence of political ideology on DIT scores: fact or artifact?

Concern about the validity of the DIT and Fisher and Sweeney’s measurement of conservative, moderate and liberal political orientation using a seven-point Likert scale motivates our study. We perform two experiments to investigate these interrelated issues. First, we assess the degree to which 569 undergraduate students’ political orientation as measured by a seven-point Likert scale associates with their corresponding political orientation as measured by a ninepoint Likert scale. We find differences in categorization of subjects depending upon scale used, suggesting problems with the sampling distribution arise when a seven-point Likert scale is used for categorizing subjects. Second, we measure 115 students’ political orientation utilizing a nine-point Likert scale to assess Fisher and Sweeney’s findings. Our results suggest that Fisher and Sweeney’s findings may relate to their using a seven-point Likert scale in measuring political orientation rather than a flaw in the DIT’s validity resulting from an embedded political ideology
