Q-Herilearn Scale data

Abstract

The Q-Herilearn scale is a probabilistic scale of summative estimates that measures different aspects of the learning process in Heritage Education. It consists of seven factors (Knowing, Understanding, Respecting, Valuing, Caring, Enjoying and Transmitting). Each dimension is measured by means of seven indicators scored on a 4-point frequency response scale (1 = Never or almost never; 2 = Sometimes; 3 = Quite often; 4 = Always or almost always). Sufficient evidence of content validity has been obtained through a concordance analysis —which employed multi-facet logistic models (Many Facet Rasch Model MFRM)— of the scores of 40 judges, who estimated the relevance, adequacy, and clarity of each item. The metric properties of the scores were determined using ESEM —Exploratory Structural Equation Modeling—, EGA Exploratory Graph Analysis and Network Analysis. The scale was calibrated using Item Response Theory models: the Nominal Response Model and the Graded Response Model.
