Analysis
The analysis of the CACE Lifelong Learning Measure focuses on understanding individuals’ willingness and ability to engage in processes of lifelong education and personal development. Using this questionnaire, researchers can examine how various factors, such as age, education level, and professional needs, influence a person’s commitment to lifelong learning. The analysis typically involves statistical methods to assess the reliability and validity of the results, as well as to explore the relationships between the variables measured by the questionnaire.
Objective
The primary objective of the CACE Lifelong Learning Measure is to assess and evaluate individuals’ commitment to lifelong learning and personal development. Specifically, the tool aims to understand the extent to which people engage in learning opportunities beyond formal educational settings, and how personal attitudes and professional needs affect this engagement. The tool also supports the development of strategies to promote lifelong learning across various populations and professional fields.
Calibration
The calibration of the CACE Lifelong Learning Measure includes the process of determining the accuracy and reliability of the tool. This usually involves using statistical techniques such as factor analysis and evaluating the internal consistency of the items (e.g., using Cronbach’s alpha coefficient). Calibration ensures that the questionnaire accurately measures the aspects of lifelong learning it is intended to assess, and that the results are reliable and reproducible.
