Education Topic Review of article
What was the purpose of the study?
Analyze the revised version of SLEQ Survey to gauge current teacher response. The study results proved that the responses are similar enough to previous studies. This proves the test is reliable because the numbers are close to the previous study.
If we take the instrument as a general scale, what were the subscales?
The total survey is 21 items, reduced from 56, and separated into five subscales listing as instructional innovation, decision-making, collaboration, student relations, and school resources. Which in turn break down into subsections.How were the subscales and individual indicators constructed and scored?
The revised 21-item SLEQ test is separated into five factors centered on a school climate as a central element with factors Instructional Innovation, Collaboration at the top with Decision Making, School Resources, and Student Relations below the center point. This data scoring is on the MAP (Minimum Average Partial) test and Kaiser’s rule. It was the number of the participants that assist in reducing variations on the EFA/CFA models (Exploratory and Confirmatory Factor Analysis), respectively. CFA determines if the EFA confirmed by STM (Structural Equation Methods). This proved that the testing models worked across all grade levels (elementary, middle and high Schools) because the numbers were consistent.
How was the instrument validated?
Using ANOVAs (Analysis of Variance), the internal consistency estimations had strong reliability coefficients in each of the five factors analyzed and measured reasonably close values in the previous studies.

The CFA is hierarchical that uses the 21 SLEQ items and data separated into five sets, and even though the data did not fit perfectly, the large sample size adjusted the numbers.
How was reliability assessed?
The results of this study used three general dimensions for human environments. It provided similar numbers close enough to previous studies and the revised version proves a good method for studying teacher perception of school climate in a quantitative manner.
Did the researcher follow the principles of test validation presented in Chapter 7 of our textbook? Be sure to explain your answer.
The SLEQ survey study used the Test and Assess to verify validity and reliability to ascertain study results. Not all principles of the chapter were applicable in the actual testing process. The book is using different criteria to test but the methods are the same. Both used a reliability coefficient of +1.00. The testing is about the consistency of answers between groups or prior studies. The subject of study was not exactly identical.
The SLEQ seems validated in this study, as both the present, and past results are similar. If you are going to conduct a study on school climate, will you choose the instrument developed in this article as your measurement tool? Why?
SLEQ appears quantitative and designed to give basic data, why stop there? Let the participants give some qualitative feedback on how the climate is working. I suggest allowing them the space to give personal subjective data on the survey. This data could go a lot further in making changes for the better of all involved.
