Subclaims¶

q2 i? In the results, CFA of the nine TEFA-T syntax constructs gave Chi-Square = 98.79, p = 0.99 and RMSEA = 0.00, which the authors read as fulfilling goodness-of-fit criteria; the abstract and conclusion instead report Chi-Square and x2/df values of 219.76 and 0.8292 for the CFA/SEM validity testing, without saying which model or sample they come from. → Maksum 2022

Improvement of metacognitive and critical thinking skills through development of the a 'Teaching Factory Based on Troubleshooting' (TEFA-T) Model in automotive vocational learning.

q2 · i? · causal · r1

Expert validation study: a 70-item construction validity instrument was circulated to 16 lecturers considered experts (pedagogical, vocational education, language, and automotive experts); each of the nine syntax constructs was rated Valid/Fit with correlation indices ≥ 0.30 in Table 1.

"the TEFA -T Learning Model was declared valid, both from the aspect of content and construct validity based on the validity test results using the Aiken'V formula, Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), and Structure Equation Modelling (SEM), with a Chi -Square and x 2/df values of 219.76 and 0.8292"
