With the continuous development of society, the form of reading has gradually transitioned from traditional paper-based reading to modern digital reading. At the same time, reading that mainly meets leisure and entertainment needs has become an important component of modern life. university students are one of the main groups of leisure digital…

The rapid advancement of educational technologies in recent decades has underscored the increasing importance of digital literacy (DL) as a core competency for all students, as recognised in various educational policies and programs. Evaluating students' DL is crucial for providing valuable insights to guide future educational initiatives. This…

Introduction: The present study investigated English-speaking 5-9 year olds' (n = 600, normative sample) comprehension of relative, adverbial and complement clauses using the Test of Complex Syntax-Electronic (TECS-E), an online interactive assessment. with strong test-retest reliability, concurrent validity and internal consistency. Method: Using…

This study investigated the preliminary psychometric properties of the Pathway to Independence Inventory (P2I), a transition assessment tool designed to meet the needs of transition-age students with disabilities (SWD) with support needs in the areas of adaptive skills, executive functions, and social skills. Analyses examined the item-total…

The introduction of computing education into curricula worldwide requires multi-year assessments to evaluate the long-term impact on learning. However, no single Computational Thinking (CT) assessment spans primary school, and no group of CT assessments provides a means of transitioning between instruments. This study therefore investigated…

The rise of machine translation demands a fundamental shift in both translators' roles and educational approaches. However, translation education research and practice have struggled to keep pace with the latest developments. To bridge the pedagogical gap, this study conceptualises machine translation literacy within the context of translation…

The aim of the current study is to conduct the validity and reliability studies of the Academic Inertia Scale for Adolescents (AAIS). Inertia is that occurs from not adapting to the current situation, lack of motivation, insufficient self-control and lack of socializing. It has been stated that living in inertia is a result of the individual's…

The extent to which the Principal Instructional Management Rating Scale (PIMRS) is sensitive and appropriate to be used in different cultural contexts remains underexplored in the literature. To address this research gap, this study attempts to validate a Malay language version of PIMRS by assessing convergent, discriminant, and criterion validity…

Assessment of problem-solving skills for preservice teachers is important in science instruction. The purpose of this study is to discover; (a) How are the characteristics of the Problem-Solving Essay Test Instrument (PSETI); (b) How is the validity based on experts assessment; (c) how are the validity and reliability based on trials. The research…

Much of the early research on teachers' knowledge for reading instruction used instruments that primarily emphasized code-based aspects of reading, unintentionally signaling that meaning-focused knowledge is not essential for teaching foundational reading to elementary-age children. In this study, we developed the Knowledge for Enhancing Reading…

The validity of inferences made with test results depends on meeting the assumptions of the test users, one of which is the presumption of optimal performance (i.e., test-takers are doing their best). Flow theory identifies the conditions under which optimal performance is achieved and can be used to inform test users about the degree to which…

Self-determination is a potential predictor of in-school and postschool success, yet it has not previously been examined in youth and young adults who are deaf or hard of hearing (DHH). The present study used a cross-sectional survey design to examine the reliability and validity of the American Sign Language (ASL) version of the…

Education accountability and its building components has been the focal point and yet a convoluted issue. The current study aims to give a comprehensive account of indicators of education accountability in e-learning. To this end, this two-phase study was conducted on Iranian English as Foreign Language context. The first phase was qualitative in…

Background: There are long-held concerns about how graduate research programs prepare engineering PhD students for professional practice. Suitable instruments are lacking to effectively assess how research experiences contribute to the success of graduate students becoming professionals. Purpose: The purpose of this work is to examine evidence of…

Science education should help unleash the creative potential of students, for which an instrument to accurately assess creativity is required. This study aims to develop and validate such a scale to assess science classroom creativity (SCC), which is the creativity expressed by students in the process of learning either individually or…
