Er, Zübeyde; Dinç Artut, Perihan; Bal, Ayten Pinar – Pegem Journal of Education and Instruction, 2023
The aim of this research is to develop a reliable and valid scale to determine the mathematical thinking skills of gifted students. In addition, with the developed scale, thinking skills of gifted students was examined in terms of various variables. In this context, the research was carried out on two different study groups. The first stage of…

Gotch, Chad M.; French, Brian F. – Educational Assessment, 2020
The State of Washington requires school districts to file court petitions on students with excessive unexcused absences. The "Washington Assessment of Risks and Needs of Students" (WARNS), a self-report screening instrument developed for use by high school and juvenile court personnel in such situations, purports to measure six facets of…

Kelleher, Leila K.; Beach, Tyson A. C.; Frost, David M.; Johnson, Andrew M.; Dickey, James P. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2018
The scoring scheme for the functional movement screen implicitly assumes that the factor structure is consistent, stable, and congruent across different populations. To determine if this is the case, we compared principal components analyses of three samples: a healthy, general population (n = 100), a group of varsity athletes (n = 101), and a…

Demir, Ergul – Eurasian Journal of Educational Research, 2018
Purpose: The answer-copying tendency has the potential to detect suspicious answer patterns for prior distributions of statistical detection techniques. The aim of this study is to develop a valid and reliable measurement tool as a scale in order to observe the tendency of university students' copying of answers. Also, it is aimed to provide…

Akgul, Savas; Kahveci, Nihat Gurel – Eurasian Journal of Educational Research, 2016
Statement of Problem: Although there is a rapidly increasing interest in creativity in specific domains such as science and math, there are not enough valid and reliable scales to assess students' creativity in these domains. If mathematical creativity potential can be measured, then the curriculum can be adapted to address the needs of creative…

Balkin, Richard S. – Measurement and Evaluation in Counseling and Development, 2013
Factor structure for the Goal Attainment Scale of Stabilization was evaluated using separate samples for exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis. Results indicated a 25-item two-factor solution. The Goal Attainment Scale of Stabilization may be useful in identifying the extent to which adolescents in crisis meet therapeutic…

Stuck, Andrea; Kammermeyer, Gisela; Roux, Susanna – European Early Childhood Education Research Journal, 2016
This study examined the reliability and structure of the Classroom Assessment Scoring System (CLASS; Pianta, R. C., K. M. La Paro, and B. K. Hamre. 2008. "Classroom Assessment Scoring System. Manual Pre-K." Baltimore, MD: Brookes) and the quality of interactional processes in a German pre-school setting, drawing on a sample of 390…

Dombrowski, Stefan C.; Mrazik, Martin – Canadian Journal of School Psychology, 2008
In this article, the authors review the Reynolds Intellectual Assessment Scales (RIAS; Reynolds & Kamphaus, 2003), an individually administered test of intelligence for use with individuals between the ages of 3 and 94. The RIAS represents the newest intelligence test on the marketplace and incorporates the most current intelligence test theory…

Thompson, Bruce – 1981
Factor analysis can be a valuable tool for assessing validity; however, the reliabilities of identified factors must be attended to. This study examined the impacts of item variance on factor stability and structure. The attempt was to determine empirically whether unnumbered graphic scales scored using a larger number of scale steps produce more…

Kingma, Johannes; TenVergert, Elisabeth M. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1987
Two studies investigated the functional equivalence of three different scoring systems used to assess the child's ability to understand and carry out multiplicative classification tasks. All three scoring criteria produced reliable and homogeneous tests. Their factor matrices were similar, and the corresponding factor structures were invariant…

Veldman, Donald J.; Sheffield, John R. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1979
A sociometric nominations instrument called Guess Who was administered to 13,045 elementary school children and then subjected to an image analysis. Four factors were extracted--disruptive, bright, dull, and quiet/well-behaved--and related to teacher ratings, self-reports and other measures. (Author/JKS)

Berkay, Paul; And Others – 1994
Instructions for the administration of the Opinions about Deaf People Scale are given. This scale measures the beliefs of hearing adults about the capabilities of deaf adults. The somewhat ambiguous title of the instrument is designed to avoid leading respondents to respond in socially desirable ways. The instrument is based on misconceptions…

Thompson, Bruce – 1974
The Administrator Professional Leadership Scale (APLS) was developed to measure the professional leadership quality of a school principal, and to provide principals with anonymous feedback on teachers' perceptions of their leadership. Further refinement was carried out to increase its reliability; to discover categories of administrator behavior…

Purkey, William Watson; And Others – 1984
The purpose of the Florida KEY is to provide teachers with a single instrument to infer self-concept as learner of students in grades 1-6. The KEY identifies selected behaviors of students who seem to possess positive and realistic self-concepts in the area of school success. The KEY contains 23 interrogative items that describe student behavior…

Williams, Frank E. – 1968
The results of this study do not indicate any relationship between a child's performance on a creativity test and certain personality factors contributing to creativity, as measured by the Torrance Test of Creative Thinking and the CPQ. At both third and fourth grade levels, scores for the same child on the two tests were independent of each…
