Reliability and factor structure of JUŠ— questionnaire

Abstract

On a sample of 243 pupils from the first and second year of secondary school, the reliability and factor structure scale of the newly designed JUS-questionnaire for the measurement of general school self-concept of young people, as well as their self-concept in specific subjects, was tested. On the basis of the obtained reliability co-efficients (type Cronbach-Alpha) it was established that all the scales in the questionnaire had satisfactory reliability. The factor analysis showed two factors, flinguistic-historical and mathematical-physical) which explains 57.44% of the common variance of all the results.
