Cross-Cultural Adaptation and Validation of the Self-Regulated Learning Scale for Indonesian University Students
Downloads
Objective: This study aimed to cross-culturally adapt and psychometrically validate a shortened Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) scale for Indonesian university students.
Methods and Materials: Following established cross-cultural adaptation guidelines, the SRL scale underwent conceptual and cultural analysis, forward translation, synthesis, back translation, expert review, cognitive interviewing, and pretesting (n=55). In the main study, 427 undergraduate students from multiple Indonesian universities were recruited using purposive stratified sampling. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (AMOS) was used to test the factor structure. Items with standardized loadings <0.30 were removed to form a short version. Internal consistency was evaluated with Cronbach’s alpha.
Findings: Item reduction yielded a 15-item instrument across five dimensions (metacognitive self-regulation, time/study environment, effort regulation, peer learning, help-seeking). CFA supported the five-factor structure with acceptable fit (GFI=0.937, CFI=0.967, TLI=0.954, RMSEA=0.069), and all retained items met recommended loading thresholds. Reliability was satisfactory to high across the dimensions (α = 0.76–0.89).
Conclusion: The Indonesian 15-item SRL scale demonstrates culturally appropriate content and robust psychometric properties, supporting its use for assessing SRL in higher education settings. Future studies should employ probability sampling and examine test–retest reliability and measurement invariance across student subgroups.
