Abstract

Hotel and Tourism Management Institute (HTMi) Russ Rimmer, HTMi and Queen Margaret University In the literature on transformation and learning, there is doubt about whether the effect on critical reflection of important incidents in students' lives (known as triggers) can be detected using the sorts of on-average techniques available to quantitative researchers. The first step in testing this was to design and apply the Transformative Incident Student Survey (TISS) in a private college in Switzerland, where students from around 30 nations learn intensively in the environment in which they live. In this paper, results are reported of factor analyses, including validity tests and an initial assessment of measurement invariance for females and males.
