Abstract

Expansive framing is a situative instructional approach hypothesized to promote learning transfer. The Expansive Framing of Engagement survey measures students’ perceptions of their engagement to explore the relationships between expansively framed instruction, learner engagement, and learning outcomes. Building on a prior exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis was used to validate the theoretical alignment of the survey’s hypothesized factor structure. The initial analysis yielded evidence of strong internal consistency for all six scales (alphas ranging from 0.77-0.87) and suggested collapsing two of the hypothesized six factors into a single factor. Following the initial findings, the results of this confirmatory factor analysis yielded an acceptable model fit for the five-factor structure with CFI=0.929, TLI=0.909, and RMSEA=0.091.
