Validation of the Effective Student Transfer Model: An Examination of the Quantitative Model
Keywords:
Validation, Effective Student Transfer Model, Quantitative ModelAbstract
Purpose: The present study aimed to validate the effective student transfer model through a quantitative approach among educational administrators, teachers, and counselors.
Methods and Materials: This study was applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-survey in terms of methodology. The statistical population consisted of school principals, administrative staff members, teachers, and counselors in District 2 of Tehran, totaling 200 individuals. Based on Cochran’s formula and using convenience sampling, 120 participants were selected as the research sample. Data were collected using a researcher-developed 51-item questionnaire designed according to the dimensions of the effective student transfer model. The questionnaire included dimensions such as causal conditions, contextual factors, intervening conditions, strategies and strategic actions, the central phenomenon, and consequences. Content validity was assessed using Lawshe’s coefficient, while reliability was examined through Cronbach’s alpha, which yielded an overall coefficient of 0.788. Data analysis was performed using SPSS and Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). Composite reliability, convergent validity, coefficients of determination (R²), predictive relevance (Q²), and goodness-of-fit (GOF) indices were used to evaluate the adequacy of the model.
Findings: The findings demonstrated that all dimensions of the model possessed acceptable validity and reliability. Composite reliability coefficients for all variables exceeded the acceptable threshold of 0.70, while convergent validity values confirmed the adequacy of the measurement model. The coefficients of determination and predictive relevance indicated satisfactory explanatory and predictive power for the structural model. The GOF index of 0.604 demonstrated a strong and highly acceptable overall model fit. The results also revealed significant relationships among causal conditions, contextual factors, intervening conditions, strategies, and consequences within the effective student transfer framework.
Conclusion: The findings confirmed that the proposed effective student transfer model possesses strong structural validity and can serve as a comprehensive framework for understanding and improving educational transition processes.
