A Factor Analytic Investigation of the Task of Public Education.
Dziuban, Charles D.; And Others
This study was designed to assess the conceptual structure of the Task of Public Education Opinionnaire (TPE). Since the development of the instrument, several psychometric techniques have been formulated. Two of those methods, image component and alpha factor analysis, were applied to the items of the TPE after the correlation matrices were subjected to tests for psychometric adequacy. The results subsequent to orthogonal and oblique transformation identified three strong dimensions: (1) productive, (2) intellectual, and (3) personal-social. It was recommended that additional items be added to the TPE and that some of the personal and social valuables be combined. The conceptual structure of the instrument, however, was verified by the analysis. (Author)
