Confirmatory Factors Analysis of Learning Environment Instrument among Secondary School Students

Abstract

Learning environment play an essential role in providing constructive learning atmosphere for students during their learning process. This paper aims to validate the Learning Environment Instrument (LEI) by using Confirmatory Factors Analysis (CFA). The instrument has fourteen items that measure using 10-point Likert scale. The Learning Environment (LE) construct consist of three (3) sub-constructs: Study Companion (SC), Parent Support (PS), and Teachers’ Support (TS). After data cleaning 237 secondary school students as the sample of the study. The second order CFA result revealed unidimensionality, validity and reliability for the learning environment construct achieved. The measurement model is accepted. It can be assembled into structural model for further analysis using student’s learning environment instrument.
