Factor Analytic Validation of the Ford, Wolvin, and Chung Listening Competence Scale

摘要

This research begins to independently and quantitatively validate the Ford, Wolvin, and Chung (2000)10. Ford , W. Z. , Wolvin , A. D. and Chung . 2000 . Students’ self perceived listening competencies . International Journal of Listening , 14 : 1 - 13 . View all references Listening Competency Scale. Reliability and Confirmatory Factor analyses were conducted on two independent samples. The reliability estimates were found to be below those reported by Ford, Wolvin, and Chung (2000)10. Ford , W. Z. , Wolvin , A. D. and Chung . 2000 . Students’ self perceived listening competencies . International Journal of Listening , 14 : 1 - 13 . View all references and below acceptable levels for three of the listening dimensions. The factor analytic results indicated some lack of fit. Given the well-established theory and logic behind the dimensions of the Listening Competence Scale, the primary recommendation is that the individual items be revisited and modified to improve reliability and model fit.View full textDownload full textRelated var addthis_config = { ui_cobrand: "Taylor & Francis Online", services_compact: "citeulike,netvibes,twitter,technorati,delicious,linkedin,facebook,stumbleupon,digg,google,more", pubid: "ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b" }; Add to shortlist Link Permalink http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/10904018.2012.639646
