feSERs
Skala zur Erfassung fehlerartspezifischer Selbsteinschätzungen im Rechtschreiben
Short abstract
The feSERs scale is intended to record selected requirement-related aspects of the competence assumptions of primary school children with regard to their spelling, which can be used to differentiate the corresponding school-specific self-concept according to the type of error. The scale consists of seven error-specific estimation items, preceded by three general items for focusing and anchoring the survey objective. Reliability: The internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha) of the scale is Alpha = .85 at the first measurement time and Alpha = .83 at the second measurement time. The stability is rtt = .73 after a repetition interval of almost 11 months. Validity: In particular, the school-specific differential relationships of the scale sums with selected performance and cognitive-motivational reference variables prove the provisional construct validity of the procedure. In addition, two factor analyses (PCA) showed a single factor solution. However, the correlations between individual error-type-specific self-assessments and performance measures refer to overall moderate correlations, which indicate corresponding limitations in the accuracy of judgement, especially on the part of pupils with poor spelling.
