The Web-Based Questionnaire Measuring Stages of Concern about Education Innovations

Listed in Harvard Dataverse

This study is to revise the Stages of Concern Questionnaire (SoCQ), which was originally developed at the Texas Research and Development Center.

Description

The revised instrument, Revised SoCQ, is assured for estimates of reliability and validity, and then has been constructed on the World Wide Web (WWW). It is expected that the WWW-based SoCQ can be used on-line to collect the data concerning the concern stages of interested people as to various educational innovations.

The Revised SoCQ is finalized after translation, pilot test, and item analyses. The instrument assesses the seven stages of concern such as awareness, information, personal, management, consequence, collaboration, and refocusing. It consists of 35 statements, each expressing a certain concern.

Respondents indicate the degree to which each statement is true of them on a 0 to 7 scale. The reliability of the Revised SoCQ is ranged from .789 to .876 in terms of the two-week test-retest correlation, and from .656 to .803 in terms of internal consistency (alpha coefficients). The validity have also been confirmed after the investigations on the intercorrelation, the factor analysis, and the differences of gender, age, teaching level, school position, experience, membership, status, and training.

The WWW-based SoCQ is built on MS Windows NT and IIS using the ASP technique. The system provides functions such as instantaneous online scoring, data collection and statistics for interpretation, information searching and retrieving, and setting up of any interested theme about educational innovation. While the WWW-based SoCQ and the Revised SoCQ were administered to forty-two primary teachers, it was found that there was no significant difference between the both.

This implies that the Revised SoCQ can be used in the pencil-and-paper form or through the WWW equally.
