Emily A. Brown – ProQuest LLC, 2024
Previous research has been limited regarding the measurement of computational thinking, particularly as a learning progression in K-12. This study proposes to apply a multidimensional item response theory (IRT) model to a newly developed measure of computational thinking utilizing both selected response and open-ended polytomous items to establish…

Haavold, Per Øystein – Journal of Creative Behavior, 2018
In this exploratory study, a theoretical model proposed by Sriraman (2005) consisting of five theoretical principles for optimizing creativity in a K-12 setting was investigated empirically. This was accomplished in two steps. In the first study, the five principles were operationalized by generating a questionnaire consisting of 45 items intended…

Horwood, Marcus; Marsh, Herbert W.; Parker, Philip D.; Riley, Philip; Guo, Jiesi; Dicke, Theresa – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2021
Paradoxically, school leaders as a group report high levels of burnout but also high job satisfaction and passion for their work. School principals are passionate about their job, but this passion can be a double-edged sword leading to good (job satisfaction) and bad (burnout) outcomes. We extend the dualistic model of passion (DMP) in a study of…

Weber, Melissa R.; Lotyczewski, Bohdan S.; Montes, Guillermo; Hightower, A. Dirk; Allan, Marjorie – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2017
The factor structure of the Teacher-Child Rating Scale (T-CRS 2.1) was examined using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). A cross-sectional study was carried out on 68,497 children in prekindergarten through Grade 10. Item reduction was carried out based on modification indices, standardized residual covariance, and standardized factor loadings. A…

Young, Anita A.; Bryan, Julia A. – Measurement and Evaluation in Counseling and Development, 2018
Researchers examined data from a national sample of 776 school counselors to further determine the factor structure of the School Counselor Leadership Survey. Confirmatory factor analyses supported use of a modified 5-factor model. Survey scores demonstrated good internal consistency and convergent validity. Differences between supervisors and…

Schweig, Jonathan – National Center for Research on Evaluation, Standards, and Student Testing (CRESST), 2013
Measures of classroom and school environments are a central component of policy efforts that assess school and teacher quality. These measures are often formed by aggregating individual survey responses to form group-level measures, and assume an invariant measurement model holds at both the individual and group level. This paper explores the…

Jeon, Minjeong; Rabe-Hesketh, Sophia – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2012
In this article, the authors suggest a profile-likelihood approach for estimating complex models by maximum likelihood (ML) using standard software and minimal programming. The method works whenever setting some of the parameters of the model to known constants turns the model into a standard model. An important class of models that can be…
