Tenko Raykov; Lisa Calvocoressi; Randall E. Schumacker – Measurement: Interdisciplinary Research and Perspectives, 2024
This paper is concerned with the process of selecting between the increasingly popular bi-factor model and the second-order factor model in measurement research. It is indicated that in certain settings widely used in empirical studies, the second-order model is nested in the bi-factor model and obtained from the latter after imposing appropriate…

Jehanzeb Rashid Cheema – Journal of Education in Muslim Societies, 2024
This study explores the relationship between the Spiral Dynamics and the 3H (head, heart, hands) models of human growth and development, using constructs such as empathy, moral reasoning, forgiveness, and community mindedness that have been shown to have implications for education. The specific research question is, "Can a combination of…

Raykov, Tenko; DiStefano, Christine; Calvocoressi, Lisa; Volker, Martin – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2022
A class of effect size indices are discussed that evaluate the degree to which two nested confirmatory factor analysis models differ from each other in terms of fit to a set of observed variables. These descriptive effect measures can be used to quantify the impact of parameter restrictions imposed in an initially considered model and are free…

Mustafa Taktak; Görsev Bafrali – International Journal of Technology in Education, 2025
This study aimed to develop a valid and reliable scale to measure individuals' and organizations' attitudes toward the use of ChatGPT, emphasizing the necessity for organizations to adapt to rapidly evolving information and technology environments. The methodology consisted of three stages. In the first stage, a 13-item draft scale was…

D'Urso, E. Damiano; Tijmstra, Jesper; Vermunt, Jeroen K.; De Roover, Kim – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2023
Assessing the measurement model (MM) of self-report scales is crucial to obtain valid measurements of individuals' latent psychological constructs. This entails evaluating the number of measured constructs and determining which construct is measured by which item. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) is the most-used method to evaluate these…

Ragazou, Vasiliki; Karasavvidis, Ilias – Interactive Technology and Smart Education, 2023
Purpose: Software training is a new trend in software applications. A key problem with software training is that video tutorials are developed without considering the target audience. Although video tutorials are popular, little attention is given to their design features. This study aims to investigate how two multimedia research principles,…

Yi Zheng; Yabing Wang; Kelly Shu-Xia Liu; Michael Yi-Chao Jiang – Education and Information Technologies, 2024
Grounded in the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology 2 (UTAUT2), this study investigates the interplay between key UTAUT2 constructs and motivation modeled by Self-Determination Theory (SDT) in shaping English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners' behavioral intention and actual use of generative AI tools. Accordingly, three research…

Selcuk Acar; Denis Dumas; Peter Organisciak; Kelly Berthiaume – Grantee Submission, 2024
Creativity is highly valued in both education and the workforce, but assessing and developing creativity can be difficult without psychometrically robust and affordable tools. The open-ended nature of creativity assessments has made them difficult to score, expensive, often imprecise, and therefore impractical for school- or district-wide use. To…

Chung, Seungwon; Houts, Carrie – Measurement: Interdisciplinary Research and Perspectives, 2020
Advanced modeling of item response data through the item response theory (IRT) or item factor analysis frameworks is becoming increasingly popular. In the social and behavioral sciences, the underlying structure of tests/assessments is often multidimensional (i.e., more than 1 latent variable/construct is represented in the items). This review…

Mohamad Ahmad Saleem Khasawneh; Sayed M. Ismail; Negash Hussen – Language Testing in Asia, 2024
Artificial intelligence (AI) transforms the educational landscape by radically changing how lessons are taught and students are evaluated. In light of these facts, it is critical to consider learners' emotional and mental wellness as the building blocks of education. Given these facts, it is imperative to consider learners' emotional and mental…

PaaBen, Benjamin; Dywel, Malwina; Fleckenstein, Melanie; Pinkwart, Niels – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2022
Item response theory (IRT) is a popular method to infer student abilities and item difficulties from observed test responses. However, IRT struggles with two challenges: How to map items to skills if multiple skills are present? And how to infer the ability of new students that have not been part of the training data? Inspired by recent advances…

Zeynivandnezhad, Fereshteh; Rashed, Fatemeh; Kanooni, Arman – Anatolian Journal of Education, 2019
Factor analysis is a statistical technique that is widely used in psychology and social sciences. Using computers and statistical packages, implementation of multivariate factor analysis and other multivariate methods becomes possible for researchers. Exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis are applied in different studies;…

Okim Kang; Maria Kostromitina; Xun Yan; Ron I. Thomson; Talia Isaacs – Language Assessment Quarterly, 2025
There has been much debate in assessment research about the inclusion of Global English accents in high-stakes listening tests. This study explored test-takers' attitudes toward the inclusion of different English accents in the Duolingo English Test (DET) 2021 test version and their associations with listening test scores. One hundred sixty…

Legacy, Chelsey; Zieffler, Andrew; Fry, Elizabeth Brondos; Le, Laura – Statistics Education Research Journal, 2022
The influx of data and the advances in computing have led to calls to update the introductory statistics curriculum to better meet the needs of the contemporary workforce. To this end, we developed the COMputational Practices in Undergraduate TEaching of Statistics (COMPUTES) instrument, which can be used to measure the extent to which computation…

Hancock, Gregory R.; An, Ji – Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, 2018
In this ITEMS module, we frame the topic of scale reliability within a "confirmatory factor analysis" and "structural equation modeling" (SEM) context and address some of the limitations of Cronbach's a. This modeling approach has two major advantages: (1) it allows researchers to make explicit the relation between their items…
