Development of Scale on Reflective Thinking

The purpose of this study was to develop a reflective thinking scale for the students who were given concept map-based instructions in the classroom. The five-point Likert Scale was used to measure reflective thinking. Concept Map, Reflective Thinking, Habitual Action, and Critical Reflection were chosen as the four dimensions or sublevels of the scale to measure reflective thinking. The scale construction was accomplished with the support of area specialists and linguistic experts. 76 ninth-grade students were chosen from three separate schools in the district of Ajmer, Rajasthan, for the 2018-2019 school year. The internal consistency of the scale was evaluated using Cronbach’s alpha internal consistency and the Split-half internal consistency method. On the scale, both techniques exhibit optimal level of internal consistency
