دلالات الصدق و الثبات لمقياس الأساليب المعرفية : دراسة سيكومترية على طلبة الجامعات الأردنية

Abstract EN

This study aims at investigating validity and reliability indicators of the cognitive styles test amongst undergraduated students at Jordanian universities.

The scale was translated to Arabic language, and edited to the Jordanian environment.

It was applied to a random sample of (313) Jordanian university students through which validity and reliability were investigated.

It was verified using logical validity and construct validity through factor analysis, reliability was investigated using Cronbach Alpha, and standard error of measurement.

The results of the study revealed four factors which explain (45.671%) of variance; it showed also a difference in the factorial structure of the Jordanian scale compared with the original one.

Positive self-oriented style was the most dominant style among the sample, there is a weak correlation between the cognitive styles measured by the scale and the GPA of the student, the study ended with some recommendations, such as: conductiong other studies on the Jordanian form of (TCS) to investigate its psychometric properties on other populations, using this form to reveal the preferred cognitive styles amongst other samples, and with other variables.
