Abstrak

Learning interest is a key psychological construct influencing students’ participation, engagement, and achievement in Physical Education (PE). However, comparisons of learning interest across different student groups require evidence that the measurement instruments function equivalently. Measurement invariance has therefore become an essential psychometric criterion to ensure fairness, validity, and comparability in educational assessment. This study aimed to map and synthesize the existing evidence regarding the application of measurement invariance in Physical Education learning interest instruments through a scoping review approach. A scoping review was conducted following the PRISMA-ScR framework. Literature published between 2015 and 2025 was searched in Scopus, Web of Science, ERIC, PubMed, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, SINTA, and Garuda databases. Studies were included if they examined learning interest-related instruments in PE and reported measurement invariance analyses using Multi-Group Confirmatory Factor Analysis (MGCFA), Item Response Theory (IRT), Rasch modeling, or Differential Item Functioning (DIF). A total of 26 eligible studies met the inclusion criteria. The findings revealed that 92.3% of studies achieved configural invariance, 84.6% achieved metric invariance, 69.2% achieved scalar invariance, and 42.3% achieved strict invariance. MGCFA was the most frequently used analytical approach (65.4%). Gender was the most commonly examined grouping variable (73.1%), followed by educational level, age, and cultural background. The reviewed instruments generally demonstrated acceptable psychometric quality, although evidence for higher-order invariance remained limited. Measurement invariance has become increasingly integrated into the validation of PE learning interest instruments. While most instruments demonstrate satisfactory structural equivalence, further research is needed to strengthen scalar and strict invariance and expand cross-cultural validation. These efforts are essential for ensuring accurate, fair, and comparable assessments of students’ learning interest in Physical Education.
