Information literacy is a fundamental component in the academic development of future professionals. The aim of the study was to evaluate the metric properties of the 'questionnaire of self-perceived information competences', analyzing the factorial structure, internal consistency, convergent validity, factorial invariance according to gender and…

This study aims to develop a scale to determine preservice science teachers' perceptions of flipped learning. The present study uses the survey design, a quantitative research method. For content validity, the authors created an item pool of 144 items based on the literature. After being checked by experts, the item pool dropped to 49 items for…

The aim of this study was to develop a valid and reliable measurement tool to measure teacher candidates' perception of technological value orientations. Design/Methodology: It was conducted based on data from 400 teacher candidates for explanatory factor analysis (EFA) and 680 teacher candidates for confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) in the…

This study aims to develop a valid and reliable measurement tool that will serve to determine the level of higher education students' tendency to be open to learning. The sample of the research consists of 523 higher education students. As a result of the literature review and analysis, the dimensions predicted as sub-dimensions in the scale are…

Emotions play an essential role in educational processes. Previous research has mainly dealt with achievement emotions which are experienced in specific situations such as exams or learning situations in mathematics (e.g. enjoyment or anxiety). Some achievement emotions are rather experienced in social contexts in mathematics and are closely…

More than a decade after two comprehensive examinations of the technical properties of the ClassMaps Survey (CMS), this study reexamined the structure and internal consistency of the scale and, for the first time, examined its measurement invariance across gender and school levels. Participants were 1,083 elementary and middle level students from…

The "metaverse," which bridges augmented and virtual reality as mixed reality and includes technological phenomena such as artificial intelligence, continues to be an agenda topic. It is foreseen that the concept in question will accelerate the changes in education and teaching activities, as in many other fields. In this research, a…

In recent years, the importance of educational games for students is increasing. Therefore, the points of view of students about educational games are among the issues that gain importance. In this study, a scale was developed that determines students' perceptions of educational games. For this purpose, after a literature review, a 33-item…

Two scales measuring teaching self-efficacy and beliefs were developed from previous instruments for use with near-peer facilitators assisting with peer-supported pedagogies. Construct and face validity, measurement reliability, and factor structure were determined using a population of nearpeer facilitators working in a peer-led team learning…

Numerous studies have been conducted using the Survey of Attitudes Toward Statistics-36 (SATS-36). Recently, large-scale assessment studies have begun to examine the extent to which students vary in their statistics attitudes across instructors. Yet, empirical evidence linking student responses to the SATS items to instructor-level constructs is…

"LifeSkills Training" (LST) is a popular drug prevention program shown to be effective at preventing youth substance use. The Middle School Health Survey (MSHS) is a questionnaire that was created by the developers of the LST curriculum to measure changes in knowledge and attitudes about drugs and life skills among youth. Despite the…

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…

Graduate training in psychology emphasizes a student's ability to understand research design and methodology, as well as to generate research that contributes to the profession. The Attitudes Toward Research (ATR) scale was developed in 2005 to measure attitudes among student populations. Past research suggests the scale contains five factors:…

Teacher-student relationships have been studied with increasing intensity during the past three decades, but the majority of this study has focused on young children and has relied on teacher perceptions of these relationships. The current study was designed to add to this growing body of research by exploring the factor structure, reliability,…

Learning in blended environments has become a ubiquitous part of student experience in tertiary education worldwide. Although students' perceptions of learning environments are a key element in the learning process, there is a dearth of valid instruments to assess students' perceptions in blended contexts. This study described the initial…
