Hanauer, David I.; Dolan, Erin L. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2014
A growing body of research documents the positive outcomes of research experiences for undergraduates, including increased persistence in science. Study of undergraduate lab learning experiences has demonstrated that the design of the experience influences the extent to which students report ownership of the project and that project ownership is…

Turner, Mark; Davila-Ross, Marina – Psychology Teaching Review, 2015
The ability to reason scientifically and communicate research appropriately is central to psychological literacy. Scientific research has little value unless scientists are able to convey results and their consequences clearly to others. In this study, we outline a method of assessing the development of psychological literacy in undergraduate…

Chen, Xinnian; Graesser, Donnasue; Sah, Megha – Advances in Physiology Education, 2015
Laboratory courses serve as important gateways to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics education. One of the challenges in assessing laboratory learning is to conduct meaningful and standardized practical exams, especially for large multisection laboratory courses. Laboratory practical exams in life sciences courses are frequently…

Overall, John E. – Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 1974
A sample of 126 adult psychiatric outpatients was administered the Psychological Screening Inventory. Discriminant function analysis revealed 18 percent misclassification for clinical scale scoring and 22 percent misclassification for factor scoring. As in similar studies with other instruments, factor analysis did not provide a superior basis for…

Baker, Stanley B.; Slakter, Malcolm J. – Measurement and Evaluation in Guidance, 1975
The investigations reported in this article serve a dual purpose. First, validity and reliability data relative to the School Counselor Attitude Inventory (SCAI) are presented for the users of that instrument. Secondly, those who share an interest in tests and measurement may find the presentation instructive. (Author)

Trimmer, Harvey, Jr. – Journal of Employment Counseling, 1974
Kapes and Sievert's (1973) research on the difference between wooden and plastic peg boards for the GATB is replicated. The results indicate that individuals tested on the wooden equipment perform significantly higher than those tested on the plastic equipment. (Author/PC)

Stone, Mark – Psychology in the Schools, 1975
The S.I.T. is an age scale of intelligence with demonstrated reliability and high validity coefficients correlated to the Stanford-Binet. The items of the SIT were classified according to a scheme resembling Valett's classification of Stanford-Binet test items. A comparison of the classifications is made. (Author)

Sattler, Jerome M.; And Others – Psychology in the Schools, 1978
Fabricated test protocols were used to study how effectively examiners agree in scoring ambiguous WISC-R responses. The results suggest that, even with the improved WISC-R manual, scoring remains a difficult and challenging task. (Author)

Mount, Michael K.; Muchinsky, Paul M. – Journal of Vocational Behavior, 1978
Results showed strong empirical support for the model in that most subjects were working in environments congruent with their personality types. However, there was a lack of empirical support for the proposed relatedness among the environments in the model with regard to person-environment congruence. (Author)

Moers, Fran; Harris, Jerry – Psychology in the Schools, 1978
First-grade students were administered the Boehm Test of Basic Concepts (BTBC), then given 15 weeks of instruction relevant to concepts for which corresponding BTBC items were most frequently missed. Improvements in mid-year and end-of-year BTBC performance did not occur, but a significant treatment effect did occur on the Stanford Achievement…

Hix, Judith A.; Hensley, J. Higgins – Measurement and Evaluation in Guidance, 1978
The Personal Orientation Inventory (POI) is supposedly resistant to faking. This assumption was experimentally tested with 156 naive adult college and military participants by manipulating instructional set. Results indicate that participants were able to elevate or depress their scores as directed. (Author)

Ritter, David R. – Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 1977
This study investigates the usefulness of the Preschool Attainment Record (PAR) as a measure of children's developmental skills. The PAR was compared to the Denver Developmental Screening Test (DDST) as the criterion measure, and they were found to correlate .891. (Author)
