The Development of an Objective Scale to Measure a Transpersonal Orientation to Learning.

Shapiro, Stewart B.; Fitzgerald, Louise F.

Educational and Psychological Measurement, v49 n2 p375-84 Sum 1989

A 40-item Likert scale, Transpersonal Orientation to Learning, was developed to investigate transpersonal (spiritual or mystical) orientation. The scale was validated via administration to 166 graduate students in education to determine their beliefs about the development of spiritual potential in learning environments. Satisfactory reliability and promising validity were established. (SLD)
