The aim of this study is to examine the validity, reliability, and responsiveness of the Turkish version of the Adolescent Health Promotion-Short Form (AHP-SF). This cross-sectional study was completed with 1483 students. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) supported the construct validity of the scale, demonstrating a good model fit with…

In this study, an attempt was made to develop a valid and reliable measurement tool to determine teachers' self-efficacy levels for teaching metacognitive listening strategies. The study group consisted of 205 teachers for EFA and 248 teachers for CFA. As a result of the analyzes, a scale consisting of 16 items with 4 factors was developed. It was…

Measurement invariance (MI) is an essential part of validity evidence concerned with ensuring that tests function similarly across groups, contexts, and time. Most evaluations of MI involve multigroup confirmatory factor analyses (MGCFA) that assume simple structure. However, recent research has shown that constraining non-target indicators to…

Academic engagement plays a crucial role in students' learning and performance. One of the most popular measures for assessing this construct is the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale for Students (UWES-S), which is based on a tridimensional conceptualization consisting of dedication, vigor, and absorption. However, prior research on its factor…

The KeyMath-3 Diagnostic Assessment (KM-3) is an individually-administered math assessment used in educational placement and diagnostic decisions. It includes 10 subtests making up Basic Concepts, Operations, and Applications indexes and a "Total Test" composite that measures overall math ability. Here, covariances among subtests from…

The aim of this study is to develop a valid and reliable scale to measure the time traps teachers fall into during the teaching-learning process. The sample consists of 234 final-year students continuing their education at the Faculty of Education in the first implementation and 233 pedagogical formation students in the second implementation.…

When comparing relations and means of latent variables, it is important to establish measurement invariance (MI). Most methods to assess MI are based on confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Recently, new methods have been developed based on exploratory factor analysis (EFA); most notably, as extensions of multi-group EFA, researchers introduced…

Disengagement is considered a significant component that affects the success, participation, and activity of the students in the online course. Reviewing the literature revealed the lack of a measurement tool for assessing students' disengagement in online courses. This study aimed to develop a scale that examines student disengagement in online…

Purpose: Given the importance of teacher leadership in influencing, motivating and inspiring student learning engagement and associated learning outcomes, a robust instrument to assess this construct is critical. Although there are some teacher leadership instruments available in existing literature, efforts to adapt robust psychometric…

This article details a two-phase study of the development and validation of a mentor attunement scale (MAS). Phase 1 involved theory-driven generation of 20 items to measure four facets of attunement. Rasch analysis of data collected from 390 youth mentors indicated problematic reverse-coded items, which were eliminated to improve scale…

Help seeking is a critical psycho-educational structure that facilitates learning and ensures the potential and sustainability of online learning environments (OLE). This research aims to develop a scale for measuring help seeking behaviour in two contexts: (1) learning process help seeking and (2) assessment process help seeking. The motivation…

The current study aimed to create and validate a digital literacy assessment tool's quality for students in Grades 10-12 within the Thai educational context, and 2) to develop T-score norms derived from the results of the digital literacy assessment tool for students in Grades 10-12 in this context. The study followed a research and development…

The purpose of this research is to create a reliable and valid scale to assess AIlessphobia in Education (the fear of being without Artificial Intelligence in education) among university students. In three phases, a sample of 1378 undergraduate students from different faculties at a public university participated in the reliability and validity…

Background/purpose: This study aims to examine the validity and reliability of factors influencing students' decisions in selecting the elementary education study program and to identify the most dominant factor. Materials/methods: This quantitative study employed a cross-sectional design involving 722 students from various universities across…

Objective: This study sought to examine the factor structure, internal consistency, and measurement invariance of the Brief Resilience Scale (BRS) and the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) among older sexual minority women with disabilities. Method: Participants (n = 208) consisted of sexual minority women aged 55 and…
