Lyniesha Ward; Fridah Rotich; Jeffrey R. Raker; Regis Komperda; Sachin Nedungadi; Maia Popova – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2025
This paper describes the design and evaluation of the Organic chemistry Representational Competence Assessment (ORCA). Grounded in Kozma and Russell's representational competence framework, the ORCA measures the learner's ability to "interpret," "translate," and "use" six commonly used representations of molecular…

Ferrari-Bridgers, Franca – International Journal of Listening, 2023
While many tools exist to assess student content knowledge, there are few that assess whether students display the critical listening skills necessary to interpret the quality of a speaker's message at the college level. The following research provides preliminary evidence for the internal consistency and factor structure of a tool, the…

Follmer, D. Jake; Li, Ping; Clariana, Roy – Reading Psychology, 2021
In this investigation, we examine the contribution of intrinsic content density (ICD) to measures of expository text processing. In Studies 1 and 2, the factor structure of select text density metrics was examined and refined using two text samples (Ns = 150) randomly selected from an expository text corpus. Scores on the ICD measure based on the…

Jéldrez, Elvira; Cain, Kate; Silva, Macarena; Strasser, Katherine – Reading Psychology, 2023
Reading motivation is multidimensional and a critical contributor to students' reading comprehension skill. Its multidimensionality is problematic, as there is currently no consensus on the dimensions underlying reading motivation, which are being tested through a variety of instruments that lack statistical validation. Our goal was to discuss the…

Quinn-Nilas, Christopher; Kennett, Deborah J.; Maki, Karen – Educational Psychology, 2019
This study tested the factor structure of the explanatory style for failure (ESF) using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), tested measurement invariant across direct entry and transfer students, tested latent mean differences between these groups on the ESF factors, and tested a theoretical path model, whereby ESF explains variance in grades…

Eitel, Alexander; Prinz, Anja; Kollmer, Julia; Niessen, Lea; Russow, Jessica; Ludäscher, Marvin; Renkl, Alexander; Lindner, Marlit Annalena – Psychology Learning and Teaching, 2021
In this study, we present the newly developed "Misconceptions about Multimedia Learning Questionnaire" (MMLQ), we evaluate its psychometric properties (item difficulties, scale reliabilities, and internal structure), and we use it to examine the prevalence of four different misconceptions about multimedia learning in student teachers and…

Novak, Elena; McDaniel, Kerrie; Daday, Jerry; Soyturk, Ilker – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2022
e-Textbooks and e-learning technologies have become ubiquitous in college and university courses as faculty seek out ways to provide more engaging, flexible and customizable learning opportunities for students. However, the same technologies that support learning can serve as a source of frustration. Research on frustration with technology is…

Geramipour, Masoud – Language Testing in Asia, 2021
Rasch testlet and bifactor models are two measurement models that could deal with local item dependency (LID) in assessing the dimensionality of reading comprehension testlets. This study aimed to apply the measurement models to real item response data of the Iranian EFL reading comprehension tests and compare the validity of the bifactor models…

Dönmez, Onur; Akbulut, Yavuz; Telli, Esra; Kaptan, Miray; Özdemir, Ibrahim H.; Erdem, Mukaddes – Education and Information Technologies, 2022
In the current study, we aimed to develop a reliable and valid scale to address individual cognitive load types. Existing scale development studies involved limited number of items without adequate convergent, discriminant and criterion validity checks. Through a multistep correlational study, we proposed a three-factor scale with 13 items to…

Mehren, Rainer; Rempfler, Armin; Buchholz, Janine; Hartig, Johannes; Ulrich-Riedhammer, Eva M. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2018
Constituting a metacognitive strategy, system competence or systems thinking can only assume its assigned key function as a basic concept for the school subject of geography in Germany after a theoretical and empirical foundation has been established. A measurement instrument is required which is suitable both for supporting students and for the…

Ekici, Erhan – Journal of Education and Practice, 2016
The aim of this study is to develop a valid and reliable instrument to assess why physics courses are perceived as one of the most difficult courses among high school students and to investigate the reasons why students have difficulty in learning physics through this scale. This study includes the development and validation studies of the…
