Constructtion of Student Well-being Scale for 4-6th Graders
Abstract. Student
well-being in the
context of elementary
school in Indonesia
has not been
much studied. Accordingly, the effort of developing relevant indicators
for revealing student well-being has not been done too. Along with the increase
of public awareness of student well-being at school, appropriate tools
to measure it is greatly
needed. This study
aimed to develop
an instrument for measuring
student well-being in
elementary school. The
scale was based
on the review
of a research on children
well-being by Pollard and Lee and was adapted for school context using the psychological well-being
approach suggested by
Ryff and Keyes.
This study had
three parallel scales, each
of which was
tested on 200
respondents. Accordingly, the
study involved 600 respondents. The results of the analysis
of the scales were used as basis for preparing a compilation scale. It was then
tested on 215 respondents. The results of the analysis of it showed that 39
items composed had satisfying psychometric properties, i.e. the reliability
coefficient, item discrimination index, and content validity. However the
structural factor still needed to be improved.
