本研究开发并验证了一个包含31个题项、三个维度(数据识别、数据处理、数据管理与共享)的数据素养自我效能量表,用于测量高等教育中个体对自身数据素养能力的信心。
Abstract Data literacy, a multifaceted competency in working with data, has emerged as an essential skill that holds significance in both personal and professional lives. Nonetheless, there is a lack of a precise definition of data literacy, and individuals' perceptions of their data literacy have not been thoroughly investigated. This study aims to develop and validate a scale designed for measuring self‐efficacy in data literacy within the context of higher education. Both exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were conducted to determine construct validity and reliability. The resulting data literacy self‐efficacy scale comprises 31 items organized into three factors: data identification, data processing, and data management and sharing. These factors represent distinct yet interconnected dimensions, highlighting the multifaceted nature of data literacy.
