“…These benefits point to the transferability and the reuse of measurement instruments, together with the possibility "to design instruments with specific characteristics" (de Ayala, 2013, p.147). In this respect, given that the main goal of the present study is to develop a specific instrument to measure pre-service teachers' perceptions of the support and training to integrate ICT in classrooms, IRT and particularly Rasch modelling provide a promising psychometric approach (Boone et al, 2014;McCoach, Gable, & Madura, 2013). …”

“…First, it is an acclaimed method to develop new scales, as it makes it possible to design the item set so that it meets model expectations from the very beginning. Second, as argued by Boone, Staver, and Yale (2014), as well as Wilson (2005), it allows for a unified approach to all measurement issues required for the transformation to interval scaling. Finally, the items of the scale can be ordered from "easy" to "hard" (Research goal 3).…”

The main objective of this study is to develop a self-report instrument to measure preservice teachers' perceptions of the extent to which they experience the necessary support and training in order to integrate technology into classroom activities. The questionnaire items of this instrument were drawn up on the basis of a synthesis of 19 qualitative studies (Authors et al., 2012) and were reviewed by experts in the field. In order to study its reliability and aspects of validity, data were collected and analysed consisting of a sample of 688 pre-service teachers in Flanders (Belgium). The resulting scale showed highly satisfactory psychometric properties. Item response theory revealed a good fit of the measurement to a Rating Scale Model for 22 out of 24 items. The results also indicate that the items differ in their degree of difficulty. It seems that helping pre-service teachers to design ICT-rich lessons and providing adequate feedback can be considered more challenging for teacher training institutions.Recommendations are given regarding how the new scale can be useful for both teacher training institutions and schools in developing approaches to equip pre-service teachers with the competencies needed to integrate technology in teaching and learning processes.

“…Person reliability was rated as the probability of a student's consistency in response for every item scaled by its difficulty (Bell, 1982). Item reliability refers to how much the contribution of every item in explaining the variance of total score (Boone, Staver, & Yale, 2014). Item and person reliability coefficients can be interpreted using the same as the benchmarks of internal consistency as in CTT methods.…”

The purpose of this study was to understand the career motivation of secondary students in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) by comparing Korean and Indonesian students. Effects of gender and educational level on students' STEM career motivation were also examined. To test for differences, we used Rasch analysis, 3-way ANOVA, correlation analysis, and multiple group path analysis. STEM career motivation was found to be significantly affected by interactions between country, gender, and educational level. Overall, Indonesian students had more STEM career motivation than Korean students. Korean students showed larger gender differences in STEM career motivation than Indonesian students. Resumen. Motivación de los estudiantes de secundaria para la carrera en STEM: Estudio transcultural entre Corea e Indonesia. El propósito de este estudio fue entender la motivación de los estudiantes de secundaria para la carrera en Ciencias, Tecnología, Ingeniería y Matemáticas (STEM) comparando estudiantes de Corea e Indonesia. También se examinaron los efectos de género y nivel educativo sobre la motivación de los estudiantes para la carrera en STEM. Para probar las diferencias se usó el análisis Rasch, el 3 vias ANOVA, el análisis correlacional y el análisis de ruta en grupo múltiple. La motivación para la carrera en STEM se encontró significativamente afectada por las interacciones entre país, género y nivel educativo. En general, los estudiantes indonesios tenían más motivación para la carrera en STEM que los estudiantes coreanos. Los estudiantes coreanos mostraron mayores diferencias de género en las motivaciones para la carrera en STEM que los estudiantes indonesios. Résumé

Abstract. Self-efficacy has an important role in career decision making. To get an accurate student's profile of career decision making self-efficacy, required a good instrument. Unfortunately, there was only one instument of career decision-making self-efficacy and there was no improvement or current development. That instrument developed using classical test theory, an approach that had been criticized, especially about raw score and data interval. This study focused on career decision making self-efficacy scale's development using Rasch model, an approach that had more advantages compared with classical test theory. The subjects were 144 students of grade 11 in Yogyakarta. Based on the analysis results using Winsteps program, there were 20 fit items (from 36 items) with Alpha reliability coefficient was 0,91. Overall, it can be concluded that the career decision making self-efficacy scale had been proven as a good instrument because had good psychometric properties. So in future, this instrument can be used for assessment and research.Keywords: carrer decision making, rasch model, self-efficacy, test development Abstrak. Efikasi diri dalam pengambilan keputusan karier berperan penting dalam pembentukan perilaku pengambilan keputusan karier siswa. Untuk mendapatkan gambaran akurat tentang efikasi diri dalam pengambilan keputusan karier siswa diperlukan alat ukur yang berkualitas. Sayangnya, baru ada satu instrumen efikasi diri dalam pengambilan keputusan karier dan belum pengembangan terkininya. Instrumen itu pun dikembangkan menggunakan pendekatan teori tes klasik, suatu pendekatan yang telah dikritik terkait skor mentah dan keintervalan data. Penelitian ini berfokus pada pengembangan skala efikasi diri dalam pengambilan keputusan karier siswa menggunakan model Rasch, suatu pendekatan yang dipandang memiliki keunggulan dibandingkan teori tes klasik. Partisipan penelitian adalah 144 siswa kelas XI SMA di Yogyakarta. Berdasarkan hasil analisis menggunakan program Winsteps, diketahui ada 20 aitem (dari 36 aitem) yang memenuhi indeks ketepatan butir-model, dengan koefisien reliabilitas alpha 0,91. Secara keseluruhan, dapat disimpulkan bahwa skala efikasi diri dalam pengambilan keputusan karier ini memiliki properti psikometris yang baik sehingga dapat digunakan untuk asesmen maupun penelitian.Kata kunci: efikasi diri, model Rasch, pengambilan keputusan karier, pengembangan alat ukur 1 Korespondensi mengenai isi artikel ini dapat dilakukan melalui: difa.ardiyanti@psy.uad.ac.id
