Michael T. Kalkbrenner; Michaela Bradley; Hannah Sun – Measurement and Evaluation in Counseling and Development, 2024
We developed and validated scores on the Lifestyle Practices and Health Consciousness Inventory (LPHCI)-2: Brief Version, a short form for measuring global wellness (mental and physical health). Tests of internal structure (EFA, CFA, and higher-order CFA) as well as convergent validity supported the psychometric properties of LPHCI-2: Brief…

Steinberg, Jonathan; Andrews-Todd, Jessica; Forsyth, Carolyn; Chamberlain, John; Horwitz, Paul; Koon, Al; Rupp, Andre; McCulla, Laura – ETS Research Report Series, 2020
This study discusses the development of a basic electronics knowledge (BEK) assessment as a pretest activity for undergraduate students in engineering and related fields. The 28 BEK items represent 12 key concepts, including properties of serial circuits, knowledge of electrical laws (e.g., Kirchhoff 's and Ohm's laws), and properties of digital…

Yan, Yaw Kai; Subramaniam, R. – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2016
The study explored grade 12 students' understanding of reaction kinetics, a topic which has not been extensively explored in the chemistry education literature at this level. A 3-tier diagnostic instrument with 11 questions was developed--this format is of very recent origin and has been the subject of only a handful of studies. The findings…

Sikorski, Jonathon – ProQuest LLC, 2016
There is a pervasive need for school systems to empirically and reliably assess the data literacy and data use skills of their educators (Ingram et al., 2004). With the federal government holding states and school districts accountable for student achievement and the increased emphasis of high stakes testing in schools, it is also critical to be…

Schönborn, K. J.; Höst, G. E.; Lundin Palmerius, K. E. – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2015
As the application of nanotechnology in everyday life impacts society, it becomes critical for citizens to have a scientific basis upon which to judge their perceived hopes and fears of 'nano'. Although multiple instruments have been designed for assessing attitudinal and affective aspects of nano, surprisingly little work has focused on…

Sijtsma, Klaas – Psychometrika, 2012
I address two issues that were inspired by my work on the Dutch Committee on Tests and Testing (COTAN). The first issue is the understanding of problems test constructors and researchers using tests have of psychometric knowledge. I argue that this understanding is important for a field, like psychometrics, for which the dissemination of…
