Pere J. Ferrando; Ana Hernández-Dorado; Urbano Lorenzo-Seva – Structural Equation Modeling: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2024
A frequent criticism of exploratory factor analysis (EFA) is that it does not allow correlated residuals to be modelled, while they can be routinely specified in the confirmatory (CFA) model. In this article, we propose an EFA approach in which both the common factor solution and the residual matrix are unrestricted (i.e., the correlated residuals…

Jon-Paul Paolino – Teaching Statistics: An International Journal for Teachers, 2024
This article presents a novel approach to introducing principal component analysis (PCA), using summary tables and descriptive statistics. Given its applicability across a variety of academic disciplines, this topic offers abundant opportunity for class discussion and activities. However, teaching PCA in an introductory class can be challenging…

Teck Kiang Tan – Practical Assessment, Research & Evaluation, 2024
The procedures of carrying out factorial invariance to validate a construct were well developed to ensure the reliability of the construct that can be used across groups for comparison and analysis, yet mainly restricted to the frequentist approach. This motivates an update to incorporate the growing Bayesian approach for carrying out the Bayesian…

Torres Jiménez, Stephanie; Ramírez-Echeverry, Jhon Jairo; Restrepo-Calle, Felipe – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2024
This article presents the design, construct validation, and reliability of a self-report instrument in Spanish that aims to characterize different types of strategies that students can use to learn computer programming. We provide a comprehensive overview of the identification of learning strategies in the existing literature, the design and…

Manuel T. Rein; Jeroen K. Vermunt; Kim De Roover; Leonie V. D. E. Vogelsmeier – Structural Equation Modeling: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2025
Researchers often study dynamic processes of latent variables in everyday life, such as the interplay of positive and negative affect over time. An intuitive approach is to first estimate the measurement model of the latent variables, then compute factor scores, and finally use these factor scores as observed scores in vector autoregressive…

Pere J. Ferrando; David Navarro-González; Fabia Morales-Vives – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2025
The problem of local item dependencies (LIDs) is very common in personality and attitude measures, particularly in those that measure narrow-bandwidth dimensions. At the structural level, these dependencies can be modeled by using extended factor analytic (FA) solutions that include correlated residuals. However, the effects that LIDs have on the…

Filiz Kuskaya Mumcu; Branko Andic; Mirjana Maricic; Mathias Tejera; Zsolt Lavicza – Journal of Educational Technology and Online Learning, 2025
Many education policy strategy documents at the European Union level, as well as national strategies of various countries, recommend including computational thinking as a fundamental skill in curricula. The professional development of teachers should be supported to disseminate computational thinking in K12 education. Teachers' value beliefs about…

Lihui Sun; Zhen Guo; Danhua Zhou – Interactive Learning Environments, 2024
Coding ability has become an essential digital skill for young children. The graphical programming environment is valuable carrier for cultivating children's coding ability. The purpose of this study is to develop a coding ability test for children, to conduct a graphic coding intervention, and to further explore the impact of multiple factors on…
