They utilized three assessment tools in their study because of the face validity of the items. The AIR Self-Determination Scale-Student Form, Parent Form, and Educator Form (AIR; Levin & Rotheram-Fuller, 2011) is used to measure abilities, knowledge, and perceptions pertaining to self-determination. According to Levin and Rotheram-Fuller, the AIR is selected because of high item consistencies reliabilities during split-half tests (0.91 to 0.98) and test-retest reliability (0.74). The Tennessee Self-Concept Scale: Second Edition (TSCS:2; Fitts & Warren, 1996) is used to allow the participants the opportunity to complete a self-report measure covering perceptions, attitudes, and beliefs of the participant. Internal-consistency reliabilities for the TSCS:2 were calculated using Cronbach’s alpha which ranged from a low of 0.75 for moral and social self-concepts to a high of 0.87 for identity and behavior. The 13-18 and 19-90 age groups which utilized the Adult Form and obtained total self-concept scores of 0.93 and 0.95 respectively. The participants’ responses on the Adult Form achieved total self-concepts score of 0.82.
