A Confirmation Factor Analysis of Student Attitudinal Success Inventory

• In Event: Predictors of Success and Academic Trajectories

Abstract

The Student Attitudinal Success Inventory (SASI) has been an useful self-reported instrument designed to quantify students non-cognitive attributes that predict students’ success and persistence in Engineering Education. The findings in this study provide evidence for the construct validity of the SASI by talking time into consideration, both horizontally (pre-survey vs. post-survey) and vertically (cohort 2018 vs. cohort 2019), by providing reliability and construct validity index for the overall validity and each sub-validity.
