Considering the crucial role of education in offering mitigation and adaptation strategies for climate change, there is a clear need for objective tools to assess its impact on the understanding of the issue among secondary school students. This paper describes the methodological design used to build and validate an instrument that explores…

The objectives of the present study were, on the one hand, to analyse the internal consistency of four questionnaires referring to the perception and knowledge of inclusion and cooperative learning (CL), and on the other, to discover the perception and knowledge of inclusion and CL in Physical Education (PE) of university students studying courses…

Perfectionism is a multidimensional personality characteristic associated with mental health problems. However, its features are commonly misunderstood, and many people are unaware of the risks it can pose. This study aimed to develop the first self-report measure of perfectionism literacy. That is, the degree of knowledge someone has about…

The Standards for Mathematical Practice (SMPs; CCSSI, 2010) describe mathematical behaviors and habits that students should express during mathematics instruction. Teacher candidates should have knowledge about the SMPs and their implications for mathematical instruction. This study aims to share the validity evidence for interpretations of…

The research developed and validated EKSAI (Epistemic Knowledge Science Assessment Instrument), an assessment tool for epistemic knowledge in science education. The background is that 21st-century challenges demand a transformation in science education, with a focus on understanding how scientific knowledge is developed and evaluated, which is…

In recent years, numerous research studies have highlighted how teachers' perceptions of educational robotics (ER) and their sense of self-efficacy can influence the learning process. Although different instruments exist to investigate teachers' perspectives on ER, the Robotics Interest Questionnaire (RIQ) scale, developed within the Portuguese…

Research Findings: Emotion knowledge is one facet of social and emotional learning (SEL) that emerges in early childhood. Various interventions and measures target preschoolers' emotional skills to bolster these foundational competencies prior to formal schooling. One measure of emotion knowledge specifically with preschool children is the Affect…

Objective: The aim of the study was to develop the "Digital Amnesia Scale Adolescent Form-DAADF" to determine digital amnesia in adolescents aged 12-18 years and to examine its psychometric characteristics. Methods: In the study, 625 adolescents between the ages of 12-18 who use digital devices such as…

The present study aims to develop the Cyberbullying Awareness Scale (CAS) for adolescents, which assesses adolescents' awareness about cyberbullying, and to examine the psychometric properties of the scale by conducting validity and reliability studies. In this context, evidence on the validity and reliability of the scale was obtained in two…

Teachers' perceptions, attitudes, and opinions about students, curricula, or evaluation methods contribute to the development of students' talents. Thus, researchers often collect data from teachers to identify gifted students, determine educational practices to meet the students' needs and assess gifted education programs. Researchers often…

Background: Despite the relevance of assessing sexual knowledge in people with Intellectual Disability, there is a lack of appropriate assessment tools to measure this domain. The current study tests the psychometric properties of the new 'Inventory of Sexual Knowledge of people with Intellectual Disability' (ISK-ID). Method: 345 individuals with…

Student understanding of climate change is an active and growing area of research, but little research has documented undergraduate students' knowledge about the biotic impacts of climate change. Here, we address this literature gap by presenting the Inventory of Biotic Climate Literacy (IBCL), a concept inventory developed to assess undergraduate…

The field of information security is experiencing growing popularity within Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), reflecting the increasing recognition of its importance in safeguarding sensitive data, and mitigating cyber risks. This shift highlights the critical need for effective security practices within educational environments, where data…

Purpose: This paper aims to introduce a novel AI learning progression for upper-elementary students and aligns assessment items across levels of each construct to gather evidence of understanding. It also validates this quantitative measure by examining these items as two subscales for psychometric properties using the Rasch model.…

Researchers have called for undergraduate courses to update teaching frameworks based on the Modern Synthesis with insights from molecular biology, by stressing the molecular underpinnings of variation and adaptation. To support this goal, we developed a modified version of the widely used Assessing Conceptual Reasoning of Natural Selection…
