Abstract

The purpose of this study was to construct a scale for assessing the Students` Subjective Well-being in elementary School (ESSSWBSS). For this purpose, based on an exploratory sequential mixed methods design, two studies were conducted. In the first study, using purposive sampling of the criterion type, 29 key informants including teachers and elementary school students in Tehran were selected and interviewed. Research tools were researcher-made single-item questionnaire and semi-structured interviews. Data were analyzed by Colaizzi's method. This has led to identifying six main themes including 'executive-administrative ', 'cultural', 'environment', 'friends', 'teaching and teacher ethics' and 'individual'. In the second study, among elementary school students in Tehran 387 students were selected through three-way cluster sampling. Psychometric properties of tools were evaluated using content validity, examination of items, structural validity and reliability determination. The content validity ratio (CVR) of each of the items was above the criterion of 0.54 and the overall validity of the tool (CVI) was 0.735. Validity of the scale was confirmed by content validity based on experts' opinion; the reliability of the scale was calculated by Cronbach's alpha and its value was 0.86. The exploratory factor analysis resulted in extraction of six factors. The item characteristic curve indicates that the majority of the items have a satisfactory and sometimes very good qualifications. In general, it can be said that the quality of the tool is of good quality because it provides a high level of information in a significant range of the ability continuum (-2 to +1). Investigating the psychometric properties of the tool showed that it can be used as a valid and reliable tool for assessing the Elementary School Students’ Subjective well-being in school.
