The development and validity analysis of a self-learning ability questionnaire for management cadets

A self-learning ability questionnaire for management cadets was developed and tested for validity and reliability. Participants were 484 undergraduate management students. Confirmatory factor analysis and other statistical methods yielded results which indicated good correlation coefficients for item discrimination, and satisfied split-half reliability and test-retest reliability. Five key factors of motivation, selection, cooperation and communication, self-regulation, and self-evaluation were identified, which could explain 70.6% of the overall variance. In general, the results indicated that the questionnaire has high reliability and validity. The scale should be suitable for use in the evaluation of self-learning ability of management personnel.
