Development and Validity Based on Rush Model of Self-Regulated Scale on Gifted

Abstract

Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) is an essential skill that enables learners to independently plan, monitor, and evaluate their learning processes. Despite the availability of several SRL scales, valid and context-appropriate instruments tailored to the characteristics of gifted students in madrasah accelerated programs remain scarce. This study aims to examine the validity of a Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) instrument adapted specifically for gifted students enrolled in accelerated programs within Indonesian madrasahs. The research utilizes an adapted version of the Erdogan SRL Scale, integrating components from the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ) and the Self-Regulatory Learning Interview Schedule (SRLIS). A total of 361 gifted students from various regions in Indonesia participated. Data were analyzed using the Rasch model assisted by R software to evaluate item fit, reliability, and threshold performance. A total of 67 items were confirmed to meet the Rasch model eligibility criteria, with no indications of overfit or misfit. Reliability values for both items and participants were within acceptable ranges. However, several items showed suboptimal thresholds and were recommended for revision to enhance clarity and discriminatory power. The adapted SSRL instrument is valid for measuring the SRL abilities of gifted students in madrasah accelerated programs. The findings support its use in educational assessment and intervention design, offering educators a reliable tool to better understand and strengthen self-regulatory learning skills among gifted learners.
