Abdul Wahat, Nor Wahiza; Mohamed, Nor Aini; D'Silva, Jeffrey Lawrence; Hassan, Siti Aishah – International Journal of Disability, Development and Education, 2023
In the context of disability, acceptance of disability is acceptance of loss, and it is a process of value changes. Although social support such as family support has been found to be significantly correlated with disability adjustment, observation on the literature related to conceptualisation and scales on self-acceptance of people with…

Koolnaphadol, Pennapha; Inang, Pracha; Dudsdeemaytha, Jitra – International Journal of Instruction, 2022
Career intelligence is of major importance for students to understand their aptitudes, interests, and abilities. The aims of this quantitative research are 1) to develop an Online Career Intelligence Test (OCIT) for Thai high school students, and 2) to confirm factor analysis of the test. Multistage random sampling was performed on a sample of…

Fleming, Danielle; Wilson, Mark; Ahlgrim-Delzell, Lynn – Psychology in the Schools, 2018
The Nonverbal Literacy Assessment (NVLA) is a literacy assessment designed for students with significant intellectual disabilities. The 218-item test was initially examined using confirmatory factor analysis. This method showed that the test worked as expected, but the items loaded onto a single factor. This article uses item response theory to…

Ritzhaupt, Albert D.; Martin, Florence; Pastore, Raymond; Kang, Youngju – Journal of Computing in Higher Education, 2018
The purpose of this research was to identify the competencies of educational technologists by surveying the professionals within the field. The Educational Technology Competency Survey (ETCS) developed in this research was based on a conceptual framework that emphases the definition of educational technology and associated knowledge, skill, and…

Lee, Yi-Hsuan; Zhang, Jinming – International Journal of Testing, 2017
Simulations were conducted to examine the effect of differential item functioning (DIF) on measurement consequences such as total scores, item response theory (IRT) ability estimates, and test reliability in terms of the ratio of true-score variance to observed-score variance and the standard error of estimation for the IRT ability parameter. The…

van Batenburg, Eline S. L.; Oostdam, Ron J.; van Gelderen, Amos J. S.; de Jong, Nivja H. – Language Testing, 2018
This article explores ways to assess interactional performance, and reports on the use of a test format that standardizes the interlocutor's linguistic and interactional contributions to the exchange. It describes the construction and administration of six scripted speech tasks (instruction, advice, and sales tasks) with pre-vocational learners (n…

Hamby, Tyler; Taylor, Wyn – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2016
This study examined the predictors and psychometric outcomes of survey satisficing, wherein respondents provide quick, "good enough" answers (satisficing) rather than carefully considered answers (optimizing). We administered surveys to university students and respondents--half of whom held college degrees--from a for-pay survey website,…

Misconceptions about the Naglieri Nonverbal Ability Test: A Commentary of Concerns and Disagreements
Naglieri, Jack A.; Ford, Donna Y. – Roeper Review, 2015
Black and Hispanic students are undeniably underidentified as gifted and underrepresented in gifted education. The underrepresentation of the two largest groups of "minority" students is long-standing, dating several decades, and is a serious area of contention. Most debates focus on the efficacy of traditional intelligence tests with…

Wang, Zhen; Yao, Lihua – ETS Research Report Series, 2013
The current study used simulated data to investigate the properties of a newly proposed method (Yao's rater model) for modeling rater severity and its distribution under different conditions. Our study examined the effects of rater severity, distributions of rater severity, the difference between item response theory (IRT) models with rater effect…

Fulmer, Gavin W.; Liang, Ling L.; Liu, Xiufeng – International Journal of Science Education, 2014
This exploratory study applied a proposed force and motion learning progression (LP) to high-school and university students and to content involving both one- and two-dimensional force and motion situations. The Force Concept Inventory (FCI) was adapted, based on a previous content analysis and coding of the questions in the FCI in terms of the…
