C-Test is a gap-filling test designed to measure first and second language proficiency. Over the past four decades, researchers have shown the fit of C-Test data to parametric item response theory (IRT) models, but no study so far has shown the fit of C-Tests to nonparametric IRT models. The purpose of this study is to contribute to the ongoing…

The aim of this study is to examine the validity, reliability, and responsiveness of the Turkish version of the Adolescent Health Promotion-Short Form (AHP-SF). This cross-sectional study was completed with 1483 students. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) supported the construct validity of the scale, demonstrating a good model fit with…

This article presents a ten-item short scale for measuring digital competence. The scale is based on the Digital Competence Framework for Citizens, DigComp2.1 (Carretero et al., 2017). For our surveys, we used five items from the DigCompSat study (Clifford et al., 2020) and created five new ones to address the competence areas defined by…

This article aims to reveal the adaptation and validation process of the Mentoring for Effective Mathematics Teaching (MEMT)--Mentee and --Mentor scales in the Turkish context, which was developed to examine preservice mathematics teachers' and mathematics mentor teachers' perceptions of mentoring practices within the Five-factor mentoring model.…

The purposes of the present study were a) to evaluate the construct validity of a questionnaire measuring parental physical activity (PA) orientation, and b) to examine the association between constructs of parental PA orientation and parental explicit PA modelling in parents of young children with disabilities. One hundred and thirty-five…

Background: Meta-analyses of educational interventions have consistently documented the importance of methodological factors related to the choice of outcome measures. In particular, when interventions are evaluated using measures developed by researchers involved with the intervention or its evaluation, the effect sizes tend to be larger than…

Purpose: The aim of this study was the development and validation (D&V) of an assessment tool to measure administrators' attitudes towards the 'Apprenticeship Embedded Degree Program (AEDP)' in higher education institutions (HEIs). Design/methodology/approach: A rigorous empirical method was followed encompassing four D&V phases:…

Long-running surveys need a systematic way to reflect social change and to keep items relevant to respondents, especially when they ask about controversial subjects, or they threaten the items' validity. We propose a protocol for updating measures that preserves content and construct validity. First, substantive experts articulate the current and…

The aim of the current study was to verify the internal and external validity of the construct of implicit beliefs concept in the sports context, the Conceptions of the Nature of Athletic Ability Questionnaire-2 (CNAAQ-2).

The Turkish-translated version of the AFEQ was administered to 241 parents of children aged 2-12 years with ASD to examine the construct validity and internal consistencies. Parents completed the Autism…

Researchers design diagnostic assessments to measure students' knowledge structures and processing skills to provide information about their cognitive attribute. The purpose of this study is to determine the instrument's validity and score reliability, as well as to investigate the use of classical test theory to identify item characteristics. The…

Purpose: Grounded in the expectancy-value theory framework, the purpose of this study was to develop and identify the psychometric properties of the Teaching Motivation in Physical Education Questionnaire.
