| 摘要: | This study focuses on constructing and confirming the reliability of a scale that integrates four key
constructs from educational psychology, which are integral to interpreter training. This effort
contributes to the niche of “metacognitive interpreter studies” and illustrates the beneficial use of
structural equation modeling (SEM) within the realm of Interpreting Studies. A survey served as the
primary tool for data collection, with 299 university students, native in Chinese and proficient in
English as a second language, from various Chinese-speaking regions, participating voluntarily. The
SEM analysis substantiated the scale’s validity and reliability. The findings suggest that the scale is
a promising tool for assessing how interpreting learners in higher education institutions utilize skills
related to the four educational psychology constructs. The research also demonstrates the effective
application of SEM in the field of Interpreting Studies. |
