Subclaims¶

q3 i? The individual choice provision factor had too low reliability (ωL1 = .402) with non-significant item loadings, so it was merged with class-directed choice provision. → Flunger 2024

Evidence¶

Flunger 2024¶

Flunger, B., Verdonschot, A., Zitzmann, S., Hornstra, L., & van Gog, T. (2024). A Bayesian approach to students' perceptions of teachers' autonomy support. Learning and Instruction, 91, 101873. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.learninstruc.2023.101873

q3 · i? · associational · r2

Level-specific reliability check following Geldhof et al. (2014) in the Bayesian ML-CFA. The merged L1 factor's reliability improved but remained low (ωL1 = .602); overall L1 reliabilities ranged from ωL1 = .553 to .861.

"the reliability of the factor individual choice provision was too low (ωL1 = .402), and the items did not load significantly on this factor. Therefore, we merged the two factors representing perceptions of individual and class-directed choice provision into one factor"

• Students distinguish individual from class-directed autonomy support at the student level, but class-level aggregates form one overall autonomy-supportive atmosphere factor — reports the opposite
• Perceived differences in teachers' autonomy support form three student-level factors, including relative lack of autonomy support — related
