Abstract
This study examines the construct validity of Goals and Strategies for Studying Science (GSSS), a questionnaire in two parts: the first part measuring students' beliefs in the value of various study strategies for learning in science, and the second part assessing their perceptions of the teacher's goals for student learning. Evidence supporting the construct validity of these measures was collected in the form of internal consistency reliabilities, confirmatory factor analyses, and LISREL analysis of a theoretical model which includes subscales from the questionnaire.Keywords
