Abstract

This study aims to develop a school adaptation scale for middle- and high-school students that refleact a transformed school environment. The scale reflects the features of the digital era, in which the connection between online and offline worlds transforms a school environment that promotes the self-directed and proactive school life of students. We also added a new domain about course comprehension and communication among class members in environments that were expanded to include cyber space. An expert panel evaluated the newly developed items for each subscale, which were based on the original scale, for content validity. It was scaled through exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses based on the results of the pilot study (N = 364) and the main survey (N = 461). The scale was finalized to 49 items under five subscales (i.e., relationship with teacher, relationship with peers, class comprehension and participation, rule compliance and activity, and cyber class and communication). The scale was then validated through an evaluation of construct validity, concurrent validity, and cross validity. The newly developed scale is effective in providing an in-depth understanding of individuals currently in school and developing tailored intervention and support. It can be useful as a method for obtaining foundational data for various studies on the school life of students. The mean scores for the subscales will contribute to the understanding the level of school adaptation among individual students and to exploring the details of each aspect of their experiences of school environments. Hence, the scale will also be useful as a diagnostic tool for examining the school life of middle- and high-school students.
