Assessing pupil concerns about transition to secondary school
Abstract
Background The primary-secondary transition can negatively affect pupils' emotional and psychological adjustment. However, methods for assessing concerns regarding secondary school are limited. A reliable and valid measure of transition-related concerns would be useful both in evaluating and shaping the content and delivery of universal and targeted transition support programmes. Aims To assess the validity of a quantitative self-report measure of school concerns as an assessment tool during the primary-secondary school transition. Sample A UK sample of 147 Year 6 primary school pupils and 263 Year 7 secondary school pupils.

Three factors emerged from an exploratory factor analysis of the SCQ and the pattern of results was replicated for post-transition concerns. Pupils with higher school concerns at secondary school reported reduced liking of school and reduced trust and respect for teachers. The SCQ was associated with generalized anxiety and female gender both pre-and post-transition. Peer problems and depression were associated with pre- and post-transition concerns, respectively. Conclusions The SCQ is a simple to complete, reliable, and valid too…

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.
