摘要:The aim of this study is to find out whether the science self-efficacy scale in PISA 2006 and PISA 2015 applications ensure measurement invariance.Sample of the study consists of 4791 students in PISA 2006 and 5071 students in PISA 2015 implementation.Multi-group Confirmatory Factor Analysis (MGCFI) was performed to determine invariance of the science self-efficacy scale across year and gender.Invariance stages were examined by means of the comparison of fit indexes.The results of the study indicated that the science self-efficacy scale satisfied all stages of invariance by gender both in 2006 and 2015.Structural and metric invariance was provided for both gender across years and total group across years.
