论文摘要
本文提出了一种新的天文学自我效能工具，该工具由两个因素组成，一个与学习天文学内容有关，我们称之为天文学个人自我效能，另一个与使用天文学仪器有关，特别是使用远程机器人望远镜来收集数据。后者被称为天文学工具自我效能因素。该仪器已进行了可靠性和构造有效性的测试。可靠性测试表明，因子1的cronbachsα为0.901，而因子2的cronbachs alpha为0.937。通过使用与构建体的独立变量相关的自变量，通过计算一种方差分析来确定构造有效性。这些分析表明，这两个量表都具有较高的构造有效性。这种天文学特定工具的发展是评估自我效能作为研究天文学领域科学认同构建的先驱的重要步骤。
This paper presents a new astronomy self efficacy instrument, composed of two factors, one relating to learning astronomy content, which we call astronomy personal self efficacy, and the other relating to the use of astronomical instrumentation, specifically the use of remote robotic telescopes for data collection. The latter is referred to as the astronomy instrumental self efficacy factor. The instrument has been tested for reliability and construct validity. Reliability testing showed that factor 1 had a Cronbachs alpha of 0.901 and factor 2 had a Cronbachs alpha of 0.937. Construct validity was established by computing one way analyses of variances, with the p value suitably protected, using independent variables peripherally related to the constructs. These analyses demonstrate that both scales possess high construct validity. The development of this astronomy specific instrument is an important step in evaluating self efficacy as a precursor to investigating the construct of science identity in the field of astronomy.
