Landaluce-Calvo, M.; García-Lautre, Ignacio; de Rada, Vidal Díaz; Abascal, Elena – International Journal of Social Research Methodology, 2022
Multiple-response questions are a common feature of survey-based research, as its advantages of information collection are well known. Statistical analysis of the responses, however, tends to be either one or two-dimensional, with the restrictions that this entails. This paper presents a multidimensional analysis protocol that provides the…

Babazadeh, Masiar; Negrini, Lucio – International Journal of Computer Science Education in Schools, 2022
Computational thinking (CT) is seen as a key competence of the 21st century and different countries have started to integrate it into their compulsory school curricula. However, few indications exist on how to assess CT in compulsory school. This review analyses what tools are used to assess CT in European schools and which dimensions are…

Tirado-Morueta, Ramón; Ceada-Garrido, Yolanda; Barragán, Antonio J.; Enrique, Juan M.; Andujar, José M. – Journal of Educational Research, 2022
Project-based learning (PBL) has been a methodology traditionally associated with student engagement and good results. However, not all experiences are sufficiently satisfactory. Comprehensive models that explain the success or failure of these experiences are still lacking. The objective of this study was to understand the mechanisms that explain…

Gil-Rey, Erreka; Maldonado-Martín, Sara; Gorostiaga, Esteban M. – Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, 2019
Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare the widely used accelerometer activity cut-points derived from the absolute moderate intensity recommendation (3-6 METs), with relative intensity cut-points according to maximal cardiorespiratory fitness (46%-63% VO[subscript 2max]) and to individual lactate thresholds (LT1 and LT2) in postmenopausal…

Alexandra Okada – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2024
National governments are concerned about the disconnection of young people from science, which hampers the development of a scientifically literate society promoting sustainable development, wellbeing, equity, and a green economy. Introduced in 2015 alongside Agenda 2030, the "open schooling" approach aims at enhancing students' science…

Instruments to measure self-determination have only been available in the Spanish language to date, for adolescents with intellectual disability (ID). However, given the development of a new measure of self-determination for youth with and without disabilities, the "Self-Determination Inventory," there is a need to adapt and validate…

Zorza, Juan P.; Marino, Julián; Acosta Mesas, Alberto – Journal of Early Adolescence, 2019
In this study, we explored the predictive role of behavioral measures of Executive Functions (EFs) and a self-report measure of Effortful Control (EC) on the academic performance of early adolescents. We also analyzed the mediating role of self-reported empathy and social behavior rated by peers (i.e., prosocial behavior and social preference) and…

Guerrero-Alba, Félix; Martín-Alcázar, Fernando; Sánchez-Gardey, Gonzalo – Journal of Higher Education Policy and Management, 2022
The perception of academic researchers on management instruments has generated significant controversy in the literature. Studies have highlighted that these perceptions affect research performance more than management itself. This work addresses this issue by proposing a subjective measurement that explains research incentives in a public…

Lázaro-Ibarrola, Amparo; Villarreal, Izaskun – International Journal of English Studies, 2021
Studies on multi-stage writing tasks with adults and children have shown that model texts and task repetition aid language acquisition, especially when learners work in collaboration. However, these studies have not included measures of task motivation, which is vital in young learners (YLs) and could help develop a more comprehensive…
