Abstract

The purpose of this study was to explore the concept and attributes of educational fairness in secondary schools and to develop and validate an educational fairness diagnostic tool. This study conducted a Delphi survey to explore the concept, factors, diagnostic areas, and items of educational fairness in secondary schools and a survey of 159 preliminary and 747 main surveys of middle and high school students to develop and validate the diagnostic tool by conducting factor analysis, reliability, and correlation analysis. In this study, the definition of educational fairness in secondary schools was defined as "the degree to which secondary students perceive that they are receiving appropriate education according to their interests, abilities, circumstances, and backgrounds in terms of opportunities, processes, and outcomes of school education.” In addition, the components of educational fairness were set as distributive fairness, procedural fairness, and interactional fairness, and through the validation process, 30 items were derived, including 10 items on distributive fairness, 10 items on procedural fairness, and 10 items on interactional fairness. The diagnostic tool developed in this study can be used to identify differences between individual variables related to educational fairness perceived by secondary students and to reveal causal relationships between variables that affect educational fairness.
