The instrument used was adapted from validated frameworks (Chu et al., 2015; Mamaril et al., 2016), but its psychometric properties were not formally revalidated for this specific age group and educational context.
“Although the instrument used was adapted from validated frameworks (Chu et al., 2015;Mamaril et al., 2016), its psychometric properties were not formally revalidated for this specific age group and educational context.”
The self-efficacy items (S1-S14) were inspired by the determinants of a Maker mindset proposed by Chu et al. (2015) and the engineering self-efficacy items proposed by Mamaril et al. (2016).
“As for the design of the self-efficacy items (S1-S14), it is inspired by the determinants of a Maker mindset proposed by Chu et al. (2015) and the engineering self-efficacy items proposed by Mamaril et al. (2016).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
