Developing a STEM Transfer-Self Efficacy Survey: Methods of item generation and validation
Research suggests that self-efficacy is a productive lens that can provide potential for better understanding the complicated experience of transferring from two-year colleges (associate-granting institutions) to bachelor's degree granting institutions. We have begun the development of a survey to measure community college student's STEM Transfer Self-Efficacy (S-TSE). In this poster we discuss the critical step of developing a new survey; generating items from multiple sources. Our first step of developing items for the S-TSE survey was to adapt existing items from the Laanan-Transfer Students' Questionnaire developed by Lanaan and refined by Moser. We then generated additional items through reflecting on the first author's personal transfer experience. We will present a system of lenses used to generate quantitative survey items from previously published qualitative research papers. We will also present analysis of the items generated and discuss the merits of this methodology for generating items.
