Abstract
This dissertation examines the validity and reliability of different types of measurement models in the frameworks of Cognitive Load Theory and Social Cognitive Career Theory. Through both Item Response Theory and Structural Equation Modelling, the thesis examines the validity of the measurement models as well as their effect on relevant outcomes, both directly and mediated. Both theoretical models are relevant in terms of learning and they are used across differing learning environments, such as traditional lectures, online lectures, and immersive VR environments.
