Information Evaluation Behavior Scale: Validation Study with Non-science Majors

• In Event: RTD - Frameworks: Learning Management System Use and Technology Integration

Short Description

This study examined how non-science majors reported their information evaluation behavior. The students responded to a 16-item self-report instrument designed to examine students’ patterns of information evaluation during their online inquiry. A confirmatory factor analysis provided construct validity evidence of four-dimensional evaluation behavior. Overall, their score remained low with a limited growth slope over a semester. The findings will be discussed in terms of inquiry learning and mental model development and directions for future research
