Strengthening School Connectedness to Increase Student Success
Category: Student Well-Being
Instrument Overview
The ARC self determination scale, developed in 1995, assesses the self-determination strengths and weaknesses of adolescents with disabilities, facilitates student involvement in their education, and aids in developing self-determination goals for students. The assessment yields a total self-determination score and four subscores (autonomy, self-regulation, psychological empowerment, and self-realization). Raw scores are converted into percentile scores using available data on norms. An adult version of the scale was developed later. Subscore(s): Autonomy, Self Regulation, Psychological Empowerment, Self Realization
