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…

Disengagement is considered a significant component that affects the success, participation, and activity of the students in the online course. Reviewing the literature revealed the lack of a measurement tool for assessing students' disengagement in online courses. This study aimed to develop a scale that examines student disengagement in online…

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…

Background: Individuals with dementia have communication limitations resulting from cognitive impairments that define the syndrome. Whereas there are numerous cognitive assessments for individuals with dementia, there are far fewer communication assessments. The Profiling Communication Ability in Dementia (P-CAD) was developed to address this gap.…

The study examined the psychometric structure of Basic Needs Satisfaction in General Scale (BNSG-S) with a sample of 495 college students. It compared the original 21-item version (Gagné, 2003) with the shortened 16-item version (Johnston & Finney, 2010), both with and without method effects. A series of confirmatory factor analyses (CFA)…

This study presents the validation of a Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) scale tailored explicitly for primary mathematics teachers in China. Recognizing the gap in context-specific TPACK assessment tools, the research aims to provide an instrument that aligns with the unique educational landscape of China. Utilizing established…

Purpose: We developed the Goal Achievement Scale in Colleges of Education (GASCE) to address the lack of context-specific assessment tools for evaluating goal achievement in Nigerian colleges of education. Existing instruments fail to capture the unique challenges of these institutions, making a reliable and valid scale essential for assessing…

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…

This study was conducted to develop an instrument with good psychometric properties to measure primary school students' attitudes towards mathematics. For this purpose, the screening model was utilised in the research. The form was prepared in the form of a five-point Likert scale (Very Unhappy, Unhappy, Neither Happy nor Unhappy, Happy, Very…

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…

The aim of this study was to develop a measurement tool to determine teachers' perceived emotional job demands. The item pool created as a result of a literature review conducted by researchers was subjected to expert evaluation for content, appearance, and meaning validity, and finally, a draft scale form was created. The draft form was applied…

An interdisciplinary curriculum provides integration of students' subjects and lives, guiding students to understand and engage with changes in the world through real situations and problems, with teachers playing a critical role. However, there is no assessment tool to explore teachers' interdisciplinary role perceptions (TIRP). In this study, an…

Although the original long version of the Hewitt Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale (HMPS) has been translated and validated in a Spanish population, no study to date has examined the psychometric properties of a short version of the HMPS with a Spanish-speaking sample. For this reason, the aim of this study is to analyze the psychometric…

Bullying, which includes cyberbullying and face-to-face bullying, is amongst the most pervasive threats to the wellbeing of children and young people.
