Abstract
ABSTRACT Replication studies are uncommon in education, and replications of validation studies are rarer. This study aimed to replicate, reproduce, and expand the study by Jellicoe and Forsythe published in 2019 that validated the Feedback in Learning Scale. We followed the original procedures, conducting a full validation process. We found only an 87% agreement between our model parameters and those of the original study. The differences were derived from the number of factors retained and the fit indices of alternative models. Fuller details of the methods used in the original study would have helped us to better ensure replicability. We also suggest that feedback in higher education (the context for our study) might be more effective if it were less personal and more task-related than workplace feedback (the context from which the Feedback in Learning Scale was derived).
期刊介绍:
International, comparative and multidisciplinary in scope, Educational Research and Evaluation (ERE) publishes original, peer-reviewed academic articles dealing with research on issues of worldwide relevance in educational practice. The aim of the journal is to increase understanding of learning in pre-primary, primary, high school, college, university and adult education, and to contribute to the improvement of educational processes and outcomes. The journal seeks to promote cross-national and international comparative educational research by publishing findings relevant to the scholarly community, as well as to practitioners and others interested in education. The scope of the journal is deliberately broad in terms of both topics covered and disciplinary perspective.
