This paper reports the authors' experience when employing two of the five subscales of SCES in the South Pacific, where the results were unexpected. Questions are raised about the validity and reliability of SCES, and researchers are cautioned about using the instrument uncritically. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Journal of Science and Mathematics Education in Southeast Asia, 21(2), p. 37-43 | Publisher: | Southeast Asian Ministers of Education Organisation, Regional Centre for Education in Science and Mathematics | Place of Publication: | Malaysia | ISSN: | 0126-7663 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 130103 Higher Education 130212 Science, Technology and Engineering Curriculum and Pedagogy 130302 Comparative and Cross-Cultural Education |
