These items were assembled into a questionnaire which was
developed by Gavin T L Brown and Zhenlin Wang at the Hong Kong Institute of
Education from 2010-2011. The items were developed from a focus group study
(Brown & Wang, 2013; Wang & Brown, 2014), previous SCoA studies (Brown,
2011), and previous work on Chinese teachers’ conceptions of assessment (Brown,
Hui, Yu, & Kennedy, 2011). The items in this list were selected after
administration of the survey in China and Hong Kong (Brown & Wang, 2016).
The questionnaire has been used subsequently with different factor structure
results (Chen & Brown, 2016).
