<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Objective</strong> of the study is a meaningful modification and test a methodology for assessing the degree of expression reflexivity as a property of a study group, depending on its type (open, semi-closed).<br><strong>Background.</strong> In relation to the joint activities of group members, regardless of their field, there is a current need to increase the efficiency and productivity of these activities. One condition for this growth is the development of group reflexivity. While there are tools available to measure the level of this group characteristic in labor collectives and organizational teams. At the same time, no psychological methods exist for studying the reflexivity of adolescent educational groups. <br><strong>Study design.</strong> The study was conducted as a face-to-face survey with study groups that represented three different educational settings. To measure group reflexivity, the "Group Reflexivity" questionnaire by T.A. Nestik was modified. Additionally, the "The Personal Reflexivity Questionnaire" by A.V. Karpov and the "The Personal Sovereignty Questonnaire – 2010" by S.K. Nartova-Bochaver were used. The methodology for evaluating the psychological atmosphere within a team by A.F. Fiedler and the group’s cohesion index also contributed to this research. <br><strong>Participants.</strong> The study included two samples. The first sample included 309 respondents from open and semi-closed study groups (cadets and novices) (average age of 15,9 years, 58,3% male). The second group included 637 respondents, also representing different types of study groups, with an age range of 14-19 years and 66,7% being male. <br><strong>Measurements.</strong> For data processing and analysis: confirmatory factor analyses, verification of normality, descriptive statistics, Cronbach's alpha coefficient, correlation analysis and analysis of differences between independent samples, were applied in the IBM SPSS 27.0, IBM AMOS 20 and Jamovi 2.3.28. <br><strong>Results.</strong> The results of confirmatory factor analysis, reliability analysis (Cronbach’s alpha), and item-total correlation indicate the good reliability and consistency of the methodology and individual scales. The final version of the methodology includes three scales: "Analysis of the Meaning of Joint Activity", "Understanding Experience", and "Assessment of Group Resources and Opportunities". The correlation analysis showed a positive correlation with personality reflexivity and group cohesion, as well as a negative correlation with sovereignty and atmosphere in the group. Analysis of the differences revealed that the conditions of the organizational and educational environment determine the level of reflexivity. Based on these findings, norms were established for educational groups of various types. <br><strong>Conclusions.</strong> A modified version of the "Group reflexivity" methodology is a reliable and valid tool for studying different types of educational groups, including both open and semi-closed groups.</p> |
