Lopez, J.; Johnson, C.; Dai, L.; Jones, M. H.; Nodine, M.; Cooper, D.; Eckel, S. – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2023
The present study examined the convergent validity between two frequently used achievement goal instruments: Patterns of Adaptive Learning Scales (PALS) and the Achievement Goal Questionnaire 3 x 2 (AGQ 3 x 2). Confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation models tested for relationships both within and across the scales in a sample of…

Mu, Wenlong; Chen, Zheng; Duan, Wenjie – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2021
The Academic Encouragement Scale (AES) evaluates academic encouragement received from someone whom the student respects. This study reported the psychometric properties of the AES among 1602 Chinese adolescents. The results of confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) supported a two-factor structure of the AES (i.e., challenge-focused encouragement…

Daniels, Lia M.; Goegan, Lauren D.; Radil, Amanda I.; Frohlich, Jona R. – Journal of Experimental Education, 2020
Preservice teachers can be considered simultaneously students and teachers and therefore likely have both academic and professional goals. However, once in a professional program, predicting professional outcomes becomes somewhat more important than academic ones. This distinction may have implications for the selection of measurement tools used…

Hershkovitz, Arnon; Baker, Ryan S. J. d.; Gobert, Janice; Wixon, Michael; Sao Pedro, Michael – Grantee Submission, 2013
In recent years, an increasing number of analyses in Learning Analytics and Educational Data Mining (EDM) have adopted a "Discovery with Models" approach, where an existing model is used as a key component in a new EDM/analytics analysis. This article presents a theoretical discussion on the emergence of discovery with models, its…

Background: A program of research is needed that assesses the psychometric properties of instruments designed to quantify students' achievement goal orientations to clarify inconsistencies across previous studies and to provide a stronger basis for future research. Aim: We conducted traditional psychometric and modern Rasch-model analyses of the…
