Yilmaz, Melek Merve; Sigirtmac, Ayperi Dikici – European Journal of Educational Research, 2021
The aim of the study is to adapt Preschool Children's Science Motivation Scale (PCSMS) developed by Oppermann et al. into Turkish and conduct the validity and reliability analyses. This scale is considered important in terms of evaluating the science motivation of preschool children through the science concepts they are familiar with, based on…

Kokoç, Mehmet; Altun, Arif – International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2016
It is still under debate whether learners' interaction data within e-learning and/or open learning environments could be considered as reflections of their learning experiences to be effective or not. Therefore, it is meaningful to explore the nature of these interactions and to make meaningful conclusions. This study aims to explore what the…

Aagaard, Lola; Skidmore, Ronald L.; Conner, Timothy W., II – Online Submission, 2014
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between academic self-efficacy and preferences regarding the use of text materials and in-class activities of college students at a university that serves one of the highest-poverty regions in the United States. A convenient cluster sample of 105 students taking summer classes at a…

Moliterni, Pasquale; De Stasio, Simona; Carboni, Mauro; Di Chiacchio, Carlo – Online Submission, 2010
This investigation is concerned with the examination of cognitive, motivational and emotional components of learning strategies and with the ways in which combinations of those dimensions, are associated with academic achievement. Recent models of self-regulated learning stress the importance of integrating both motivational and cognitive…

Benjamin, Jane; Chen, Yih-Lan E.; Walker, Brenda – 2002
The underlying factor structure of the Language Learning Strategy Scale (LLSS) (Y. Chen, 2001) was examined to determine its consistency across 2 distinct cultures. Variables that affected students' language learning were also identified. The validation study for the LLSS suggested a three-factor model of functional strategies, deep-processing…

Chissom, Brad; And Others – 1989
Using items gathered directly from learners and checked against a theoretical model of learning, an instrument to assess learning strategies was developed. The approach involved collection of descriptions of learning strategies from undergraduate and graduate students, implementation of a principal components analysis to determine the factor…

Everson, Howard T.; Weinstein, Claire E.; Laitusis, Vytas – 2000
The importance of learning and study strategies in fostering academic achievement has generated a demand for assessing these behaviors. The Learning and Study Strategies Inventory-High School version (LASSI-HS) is one of the most popular of these assessment devices. This study analyzed the second order latent structure of the inventory, using a…

Vermunt, Jan D. H. M. – 1987
Data from 211 adult students (ages 20 to 75) at the Open University, The Netherlands, were used to construct and test an instrument to measure learning styles and regulation processes. Test development was guided by a three-tiered model of self-regulation encompassing: (1) cognitive learning processes (deep, surface, elaborative); (2) regulation…

Roberds, Jeannette – 1974
The scores of 79 second-grade pupils on the Ravens Colored Progressive Matrices and the Bender Gestalt were factor-analyzed using six different factor-analytic procedures. Sex, age, and vocabulary test scores were included in the analysis as marker variables. The original factor solutions were subjected to oblique transformation and the…

Rule, David L.; Griesemer, Bonnie A. – 1996
A recent unpublished study by B. Griesemer (1995) studied the relationship between motivation and self-efficacy for learning among 146 sixth graders. Griesemer used two instruments in that study: one to measure intrinsic versus extrinsic motivation composed of three subscales from the Scale of Intrinsic versus Extrinsic Orientation in the…

Sheehan, Joseph; Tessmer, Martin – 1997
A mental model is a knowledge structure composed of concepts and the relations between them. Mental models are distinct from declarative and procedural knowledge--they go beyond semantic relationships and skills acquisition and contain varied intellectual skills and knowledge. This study describes an initial investigation into the construct…

Logerquist-Hansen, Sally; Barona, Andres – 1994
This study evaluated the construct validity of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children, Third Edition (WISC-III) with children (ages 8 to 13) having learning disabilities who were either Hispanic (N=120) or Non-Hispanic white (N=120). Factor analyses found that the WISC III has a three factor structure consisting of verbal comprehension,…

Moely, Barbara E.; Stewart, Krista J. – 1982
Factor analyses of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R) have typically yielded three factors: two generally understood to reflect basic verbal and performance dimensions and one about which there is no consensus with regard to what is measured. The aim of the present study is to elaborate the meaning of the third factor by…

McLaughlin, Dennis G.; And Others – 1980
A checklist developed in the Hawaii State Department of Health was completed by teachers and aides to screen for behavioral problems of children in preschools. The 31 items were categorized conceptually into four areas: (1) Speech-hearing-language; (2) Academic-intellectual; (3) Physical-motor; and (4) Social-emotional. If two or more items were…

Bastick, Tony – 1999
A method for measuring the contribution an individual makes to group work is described, and its use is supported through a study of 57 university students aged from 20 to 46 years working in 8 groups of 4 to 10 members each. The method recognizes that the most valid sources of information on the contribution of each individual to the group work…
