Model Fit Indices for Confirmatory Factor Analysis Models in Education

A study of 424 in-service teachers from southeastern Türkiye examined the relationship between pedagogical beliefs, teaching motivation, and curriculum fidelity. The dataset contains model fit indices from structural equation modeling analyses conducted by Özgür Tutal, last updated in May 2026. The data is stored in an XLS file.

Use Cases

• Validate measurement models based on reported confirmatory factor analysis fit indices.
• Compare model fit across different structural equation models described in the study.
• Benchmark fit indices for models involving latent variables like pedagogical beliefs and teaching motivation.
• Replicate or extend the mediation analysis pathways tested in the original research.

Strengths

• Data is derived from a study with 424 participants, providing a substantive sample size.
• The dataset is focused on a specific, well-defined statistical output (model fit indices).
• It is published under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for open reuse.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The 5.5 KB file size indicates a very limited scope, likely containing summary statistics rather than raw data.
