Kuan-Yu Jin; Yi-Jhen Wu; Ming Ming Chiu – Measurement: Interdisciplinary Research and Perspectives, 2025
Many education tests and psychological surveys elicit respondent views of similar constructs across scenarios (e.g., story followed by multiple choice questions) by repeating common statements across scales (one-statement-multiple-scale, OSMS). However, a respondent's earlier responses to the common statement can affect later responses to it…

Özgür, Hasan – International Journal of Research in Education and Science, 2020
The aim of this study is to determine the extent at which students' computational thinking (CT) skills are explained by certain variables. To this end, the existence of explanatory and predictive relationships between students' CT skills and the variables in question has been examined and Structural Equation Model was employed for building a model…

Schulz, Andreas – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2018
Theoretical analysis of whole number-based calculation strategies and digit-based algorithms for multi-digit multiplication and division reveals that strategy use includes two kinds of reasoning: reasoning about the relations between numbers and reasoning about the relations between operations. In contrast, algorithms aim to reduce the necessary…

Jõgi, Anna-Liisa; Kikas, Eve – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2016
Background: Primary school math skills form a basis for academic success down the road. Different math skills have different antecedents and there is a reason to believe that more complex math tasks require better self-regulation. Aims: The study aimed to investigate longitudinal interrelations of calculation and problem-solving skills, and…

Ferrando, Pere J.; Anguiano-Carrasco, Cristina; Demestre, Josep – Structural Equation Modeling: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2013
This article proposes a model-based procedure, intended for personality measures, for exploiting the auxiliary information provided by the certainty with which individuals answer every item (response certainty). This information is used to (a) obtain more accurate estimates of individual trait levels, and (b) provide a more detailed assessment of…

Koponen, Tuire; Salmi, Paula; Eklund, Kenneth; Aro, Tuija – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2013
This study examined whether counting and rapid automatized naming (RAN) could operate as significant predictors of both later arithmetic calculation and reading fluency. The authors also took an important step to clarify the cognitive mechanisms underlying these predictive relationships by controlling for the effect of phonological awareness and…

Scheerens, Jaap; Luyten, Hans; van den Berg, Stéphanie M.; Glas, Cees A. W. – Educational Research and Evaluation, 2015
As expectations of the economic impact of educational attainment are soaring (Hanushek & Woessmann, 2009) and conjectures about successful national educational reforms (Mourshed, Chijioke, & Barber, 2010) are welcomed by educational policy-makers in many countries, a careful assessment of the empirical evidence for these kinds of claims is…

van de Schoot, Rens; Hoijtink, Herbert; Dekovic, Maja – Structural Equation Modeling: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2010
Researchers often have expectations that can be expressed in the form of inequality constraints among the parameters of a structural equation model. It is currently not possible to test these so-called informative hypotheses in structural equation modeling software. We offer a solution to this problem using M"plus." The hypotheses are…

Tolvanen, Asko; Kiuru, Noona; Leskinen, Esko; Hakkarainen, Kai; Inkinen, Mikko; Lonka, Kirsti; Salmela-Aro, Katariina – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2011
This study presents a new approach to estimation of a nonlinear growth curve component with fixed and random effects in multilevel modeling. This approach can be used to estimate change in longitudinal data, such as day-of-the-week fluctuation. The motivation of the new approach is to avoid spurious estimates in a random coefficient regression…

Gonzalez, Jorge; De Boeck, Paul; Tuerlinckx, Francis – Psychological Methods, 2008
Structural equation models are commonly used to analyze 2-mode data sets, in which a set of objects is measured on a set of variables. The underlying structure within the object mode is evaluated using latent variables, which are measured by indicators coming from the variable mode. Additionally, when the objects are measured under different…

Krinzinger, Helga; Kaufmann, Liane; Willmes, Klaus – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2009
Mathematical learning disabilities (MLDs) are often associated with math anxiety, yet until now, very little is known about the causal relations between calculation ability and math anxiety during early primary school years. The main aim of this study was to longitudinally investigate the relationship between calculation ability, self-reported…

Goldstein, Harvey; Bonnet, Gerard; Rocher, Thierry – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2007
The Programme for International Student Assessment comparative study of reading performance among 15-year-olds is reanalyzed using statistical procedures that allow the full complexity of the data structures to be explored. The article extends existing multilevel factor analysis and structural equation models and shows how this can extract richer…

Lee, Sik-Yum; Song, Xin-Yuan; Lee, John C. K. – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2003
The existing maximum likelihood theory and its computer software in structural equation modeling are established on the basis of linear relationships among latent variables with fully observed data. However, in social and behavioral sciences, nonlinear relationships among the latent variables are important for establishing more meaningful models…
