Although there are many tools for assessing young children's self-regulation according to varied conceptual definitions and purposes, the purpose of this study was to develop, validate, and norm a Self-Regulation Assessment Scale for Early Childhood (SASEC) for directly evaluating observed behaviors of young children in naturalistic play…

The present studies report the development of a PROACTIVE coping scale to evaluate actions used by U.S. college students to prevent or prepare for potential future stressors. Results of EFA and CFA using two samples of U.S. college students (total N = 1123) indicated the viability and stability of a 19-item four-factor model of proactive coping:…

Graduate teaching assistants (TAs) may identify with multiple roles during their introductory biology teaching experiences. This study developed an instrument that measures TA role identity in introductory biology. Initial development and content validation of the Biology Teaching Assistant Role Identity Questionnaire (BTARIQ) occurred in four…

Mathematics satisfaction can drive students to work harder in math class. Thus, it is vital to assess the satisfaction of learners using an instrument to intervene in the teaching and learning process. There are research studies that have independently developed questionnaires to measure students' mathematics satisfaction, but most of them focused…

Purpose: This study aims to answer pertinent questions related to the quality of the organisational learning capability measurement model. Design/methodology/approach: A time-separated design informed data collection. The organisational learning capability was exposed to classical higher-order and bifactor confirmatory factor analyses. Multigroup…

Interrupted time series (ITS) are often meta-analysed to inform public health and policy decisions but examination of the statistical methods for ITS analysis and meta-analysis in this context is limited. We simulated meta-analyses of ITS studies with continuous outcome data, analysed the studies using segmented linear regression with two…

According to the American School Counselor Association (ASCA), schools designated with Recognized American School Counselor Model Programs (RAMP) demonstrate alignment with the ASCA National Model, widely recognized as the standard for comprehensive school counseling programs (CSCPs).
