Gary A. Troia; Frank R. Lawrence; Julie S. Brehmer; Kaitlin Glause; Heather L. Reichmuth – Grantee Submission, 2023
Much of the research that has examined the writing knowledge of school-age students has relied on interviews to ascertain this information, which is problematic because interviews may underestimate breadth and depth of writing knowledge, require lengthy interactions with participants, and do not permit a direct evaluation of a prescribed array of…

Matthew A. Diemer; Michael B. Frisby; Andres Pinedo; Emanuele Bardelli; Erin Eliott; Elise Harris; Sara McAlister; Adam M. Voight – Grantee Submission, 2022
Critical consciousness represents the analysis and critique of structural inequalities, the motivation and perceived capacity to effect change, and social action to redress inequity. A wave of recent instruments measuring critical consciousness have been rigorously validated. Yet, whether these measures efficiently assess different levels of…

Pennell, Adam; Patey, Matthew; Fisher, Jenna; Brian, Ali – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2022
Falls are a significant medical and economical concern worldwide. Younger individuals with visual impairment (VI) may be more susceptible to falling and fall-related injuries when compared to peers without a VI. Self-perceived balance confidence is a psychological construct that may predict and/or mediate fall- or other health-related outcomes in…

Sirnoorkar, Amogh; Mazumdar, Anwesh; Kumar, Arvind – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2020
We elaborate on a new approach of assessing content-based epistemic clarity of college physics students in terms of their ability to discriminate between different epistemic warrants for propositions in a chained argument in physics. A threefold classification (nominal, physical, and mathematical) of warrants is used, with each class split into a…

Tan, Tony Xing; Yi, Zhiyao; Kamphaus, Randy W.; Wang, Yan; Li, Zhengjie; Cheng, Ke – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2020
We tested the reliability and construct validity of a Chinese translation of one of the forms of the Behavior Assessment System for Children (3rd Edition)--Self-Report of Personality for adolescent 11- to 21-year olds (BASC-3-SRP-A). The BASC-3-SRP-A yields 16 subscales that form four composite scales. Data were obtained from 444 12- to 14-year…
