Researchers utilized a cross-sectional secondary analysis of data within an ongoing non-randomized controlled trial study design to establish the reliability and internal consistency of a novel handwriting assessment for preschoolers, the Just Write! (JW), written by the authors. Seventy-eight children from an area preschool participated in the…

The present paper aimed to develop and standardise a scale for assessing life skills in adults as per a ten-factor model given by World Health Organization (WHO), which was accomplished by revising a pre-existing 100-item life skills scale for adolescents. The objective was met in three consecutive studies. A revised 19-items life skills scale…

This study aimed to develop a K-12 classroom observation protocol to assess K-12 teachers' implementation of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) integration. The intended purpose of the observation protocol is for researchers to examine how K-12 teachers implement the STEM integrated curriculum. Based on research on STEM…

The rapid shift to online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the need to equip future educators with essential skills for an online learning environment. This study aims to address this gap by developing and validating a scale to measure pre-service teacher competency in an online learning context using the scenario method. After a…

The aim of this study is to develop a rubric to assess mathematical reasoning competence. Since the aim is to assess a competency, the frameworks of the PISA exams in the literature, which give an important place to competencies, have been examined. Due to its focus and in-depth analysis of mathematical reasoning, each of the actions expected from…

In this study, it was aimed to adapt the DigiFuehr 2.0 Scale developed by Claassen et al. (2023) to Turkish and to conduct validity and reliability studies on three groups of participants consisting of teachers. In the study, exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were performed in line with translation study, linguistic application, and…

The purpose of this study was to create a measurement instrument that would be both valid and reliable for assessing middle school branch teachers' perceptions of curriculum leadership. A straightforward random sample technique was used to choose the participants. 343 middle school branch teachers made up the study's sample. The researchers…

Objective: This study aimed to develop and test a scale for measuring the quality of blended learning models in higher education. Methods: This research adopts a sequential mixed-method approach to construct a new measurement scale. The first phase consisted of the inductive approach to identify the items, followed by exploratory factor analysis.…

The aim of this study is to develop a valid and reliable scale to measure the time traps teachers fall into during the teaching-learning process. The sample consists of 234 final-year students continuing their education at the Faculty of Education in the first implementation and 233 pedagogical formation students in the second implementation.…

There has been a sustained interest in student perceptions about STEM fields and their choice of careers over the past few decades. Research has shown that there is a decline in students pursuing STEM careers, and this has raised global concern. Despite these issues, no unistructural, broad, parsimonious and unambiguous quantitative instrument…

The rapid expansion of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in our society makes it urgent and necessary to develop young students' AI literacy so that they can become informed citizens and critical consumers of AI technology. Over the past decade many efforts have focused on developing curricular materials that make AI concepts accessible and engaging to…

The research aims to develop a measurement tool with validity and reliability for measuring loss of power (entropy) in schools. The study group of the research consists of a total of 596 teachers working in 15 public schools in Van Province in the 2023-2024 academic year. As a result of the application of Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) to 381…

Educators are often trying to foster Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) engagement by facilitating interest in STEM content, but research suggests that STEM interest generally declines through the primary and secondary grades. To counter this trend, STEM interventions have begun to focus on younger students. To support this work, we…

Attempts to raise the emergent literacy of "at-risk" children have prompted programs to teach caregivers how to implement school-like reading and writing activities at home. As an alternative to these programs, which often overlooked families' funds of knowledge, critics have encouraged literacy educators (e.g., teachers, literacy…

Objective: The aim of the study was to develop the "Digital Amnesia Scale Adolescent Form-DAADF" to determine digital amnesia in adolescents aged 12-18 years and to examine its psychometric characteristics. Methods: In the study, 625 adolescents between the ages of 12-18 who use digital devices such as…
