An Initial Research on the Professional Identification Scale for Normal Students

Abstract

To develop the Professional Identification Scale for Normal Students(PISNS),the researchers used the Literature analysis and Delphi method to design an original scale,and then measured normal students many times to modify the scale,and employed correlation analysis,exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to evaluate the reliability and validity of the scale.The final scale included 12 items and contained four dimensions:professional expectation,professional volition,professional value,and professional efficacy,with 63.053% total variance explained;the reliability and validity showed satisfactory.The conclusion we draw is that the PISNS can be applied to evaluate the professional identification of normal students.
