The Analysis Of School Well - Being Scale Psychometric Properties For Senior High School Students in Indonesia

Abstract

Studies about school well - being have been widely conducted, but none discuss school well - being psychometric property in the Indonesian cultural context. The current study aimed to test the school well - being scale's validity and reliability and compare the school well - being measurement models using confirmatory factor analysis method. The school well - being scale used in this study was based on Konu and Rimpela (2002), consisting of four aspects, namely: having (15 items), loving (8 items), being (11 items), and health (9 items). The study involved 2,410 Senior High School students aged 15-18 years old as subjects. The scale was adapted based on Indonesian culture, and each question got a Very Good content validity (I-CVI = 1,000). The reliability test showed that all aspects got the reliability Alpha above 0.70 and total-item correlation above 0.30. The study also showed that the school well - being scale was valid because the construct validity, concurrent, rank scale, and construct reliability were categorized as very reliable. Besides that, the comparison between measurement models indicated that the accuracy of the model with four factors had the highest parameter score. The findings provided empirical proof that each of the four components of the school well - being construct was separated and independent.
