The purpose of this research was to develop a "Crabs in a Bucket at Schools Scale" (CBSS) measuring the perceptions of teachers regarding crab mentality in educational organizations. The data of the study was collected in 2019-2020 academic year from high school teachers working at different high schools of Aydin province, located in…

Mathematics education needs measures that can be used to research and/or evaluate the impact of professional development for constructs that are broadly relevant to the field. To address this need we developed the Priorities for Mathematics Instruction (PMI) survey consisting of two scales focused on the constructs of Explicit Attention to…

Curriculum adaptation portrays the way teachers 'tweak' the curriculum. The findings of related studies are based solely on qualitative data, and there is no instrument that can determine curriculum adaptation patterns. Based on this gap, the aim of this study is to develop the Curriculum Adaptation Patterns Scale (CAPS). After examining the…

Computational thinking (CT) has emerged as a crucial 21st-century skill, enabling individuals to solve problems more effectively through an automation-oriented perspective and fundamental concepts of computer science. To…

E-learning was a vital tool for education during the global lockdown, as it was the only alternative for billions of students worldwide to continue learning amid the COVID-19 crisis. However, despite the importance and relevance of E-learning, there is a significant lack of studies that examine E-learning success under heterogeneity effects, such…

Concept mapping is a practical approach to meaningful learning, and emotion is one of the most important factors that affect students' learning. However, few studies have focused on learners' emotions of concept mapping. This research aims to develop and verify a CM-ES and to investigate university students' emotions of concept mapping with the…

The aim of the study is to develop a "Self-Efficacy Scale for Argumentation" (SEAS). The participants of the study consisted of 879 pre-service elementary teachers. In order to examine construct validity of SEAS, exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were utilized. The initial solution of the EFA…

The aim of this study is to develop a scale that measures the attitudes of physical education and sports teachers towards measurement and evaluation. In this study, scale development principles and steps of DeVellis (2017) were used. Initially, a literature review was conducted, 19 physical education and sports teachers were interviewed in written…

This research aimed to develop a valid and reliable test to be used to detect sixth grade students' misconceptions and errors regarding the subject of fractions. A misconception diagnostic test has been developed that includes the concept of fractions, different representations of fractions, ordering and comparing fractions, equivalence of…

Mathematics self-efficacy is considered an important variable in mathematics education because of its links to mathematics achievement. This paper reports on the development of the "Self-efficacy-effort in Mathematics Scale" (SEEMS), an instrument that has strong theoretical and psychometric properties. Based on a sample of n = 224…

One of the questions with the longest history in educational assessment is whether it is possible to increase the reliability of a test simply by altering the way in which scores on individual test items are combined to make the overall test score. Most usually, the score available on each item is communicated to the candidate within a question…

In this study, it is aimed to develop a scale to be used to determine the STEM career interest of high school students. Because, when STEM career studies in the literature are examined, the lack of STEM career scale for high school students is remarkable. In this research, developing STEM Career Interest Scale for high school students is important…

The purpose of this research is to prepare a valid and reliable measurement tool in order to determine the acquisition of teacher candidates under the hidden curriculum in teacher training process.
