Koyuncu, Ilhan; Kilic, Abdullah Faruk – International Journal of Assessment Tools in Education, 2021
In exploratory factor analysis, although the researchers decide which items belong to which factors by considering statistical results, the decisions taken sometimes can be subjective in case of having items with similar factor loadings and complex factor structures. The aim of this study was to examine the validity of classifying items into…

Radu Bogdan Toma – Journal of Early Adolescence, 2024
The Expectancy-Value model has been extensively used to understand students' achievement motivation. However, recent studies propose the inclusion of cost as a separate construct from values, leading to the development of the Expectancy-Value-Cost model. This study aimed to adapt Kosovich et al.'s ("The Journal of Early Adolescence", 35,…

Wafubwa, Ruth Nanjekho; Csíkos, Csaba – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2021
This study focused on the assessment of the structural validity of the 28 item adapted Teacher Assessment for Learning Questionnaire (TAFL-Q) in the Kenyan context. The sample consisted of 180 mathematics teachers drawn from 50 secondary schools. Confirmatory factor analysis was used to confirm the hypothesised two-factor model of the original…

Clairmont, Albert Anthony; Katz, Daniel; Wilton, Mike – AERA Online Paper Repository, 2021
This study demonstrates the importance of Rasch Measurement Theory (RMT) in program evaluation when outcome measures need to be constructed from scratch. The paper introduces typical measure validation methods presented in program evaluation texts and discusses room for improvement. The study then illustrates how the seamless transitions from…

The Inadequate Use of Confirmatory Factor Analysis in Second Language Acquisition Validation Studies
Vafaee, Payman; Kachinske, Ilina – Studies in Applied Linguistics & TESOL, 2019
The current study aims to demonstrate how the lack of a conceptual framework and the inadequate use of confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) in second language (L2) acquisition validation studies can lead to misconceptions about the nature of data collected via different measurement instruments. To this end, we reanalyzed data from three…

Ronen Kasperski; Merav E. Hemi – Assessment in Education: Principles, Policy & Practice, 2024
Educators' Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) is crucial for fostering positive, supportive, and effective learning environments. This study seeks to improve SEL assessment among educators by addressing limitations of the previous EduSEL questionnaire. Study 1 established convergent validity by comparing EduSEL with a validated SEL questionnaire.…

Schat, Esther; van der Knaap, Ewout; de Graaff, Rick – Intercultural Communication Education, 2021
Intercultural competence is a crucial element of foreign language education, yet the multifaceted nature of this construct makes it inherently difficult to assess. Although several tools for evaluating intercultural competence currently exist, research on their use in secondary school settings is scarce. This study reports on the development and…

Liu, Jin; Burgess, Yin; DiStefano, Christine; Pan, Fan; Jiang, Ning – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2020
In the Response to Intervention framework, a psychometrically sound screening tool is essential for identification of children with emotional and behavioral risk. The purpose of this study was to examine the validity of the Pediatric Symptom Checklist-17 (PSC-17) screener in school-based settings. Forty-four teachers rated 738 preschoolers using…

Humphry, Stephen M.; McGrane, Joshua A. – Australian Educational Researcher, 2015
This paper presents a method for equating writing assessments using pairwise comparisons which does not depend upon conventional common-person or common-item equating designs. Pairwise comparisons have been successfully applied in the assessment of open-ended tasks in English and other areas such as visual art and philosophy. In this paper,…

Gordon, Rachel A.; Hofer, Kerry G.; Fujimoto, Ken A.; Risk, Nicole; Kaestner, Robert; Korenman, Sanders – Early Education and Development, 2015
Research Findings: The Early Childhood Environment Rating Scale-Revised (ECERS-R) is widely used, often to evaluate whether preschool programs are of sufficient quality to improve children's school readiness. We examined the validity of the measure for this purpose. Item response theory (IRT) analyses revealed that many items did not fit together…

Whiteside-Mansell, Leanne; Weber, Judith L.; Moore, Page C.; Johnson, Danya; Williams, Ed R.; Ward, Wendy L.; Robbins, James M.; Phillips, B. Allyson – Journal of Early Adolescence, 2015
The comprehensive assessment of middle school student bonding is important for basic research and to evaluate interventions. In this study, the psychometric properties of three assessment tools found in the literature were examined individually and then combined to create a shorter survey. With minor modifications, the tools were found to be…

Paul, Ravi C.; Swart, William; Zhang, Aixiu Monica; MacLeod, Kenneth R. – Distance Education, 2015
Transactional distance has been defined as barriers to students' engagement with learning in the online environment. This research updates Zhang's (2003) scale of transactional distance, which quantified the extent of the barriers, in light of the massive changes in today's web-based learning environment. The resulting revised scale of…
