Developing critical thinking in teaching-learning activity is a major issue for educational institutions, and giving appropriate learning model intervention certainly provides an assurance to successfully develop competitive graduates for Industrial Revolution 4.0 challenges. This research aims to validate the development of Critical Thinking…

This research aimed to develop "Critical Thinking Skill Test for High School Students" to measure critical thinking (CT) skills of high school students. For the CT test prepared based on the sub-skills of inference, evaluating arguments, deduction, recognizing assumptions and interpretation which are deemed to represent CT (Watson and…

The present study validated the Preschool Reading Attitude Scale (PRAS) using a longitudinal sample of young Chinese children in Hong Kong (N = 197; age: mean [SD] = 52.38 [3.32] months at the first wave of assessment). Children were asked to rate their own attitudes toward reading in a Likert format with pictorial aids, and received individual…

Purpose: The three variants of primary progressive aphasia (PPA) differ in clinical presentation, underlying brain pathology, and clinical course, which stresses the need for early differentiation. However, brief cognitive tests that validly distinguish between all PPA variants are lacking. The Sydney Language Battery (SYDBAT) is a promising…

Emotion dysregulation is common among autistic people, yet few measures have received psychometric evaluation in this population. We examined the factor structure, reliability, and validity of a commonly-used measure of emotion dysregulation, the "Difficulties with Emotion Regulation Scale" ("DERS"), in a sample of 156 autistic…

For individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), behavioral inflexibility can affect multiple domains of functioning and family life. The objective of this study was to develop and validate a clinical interview version of the Behavioral Inflexibility Scale. Trained interviewers conducted interviews with parents of 144 children with ASD and 70…

Media articles often communicate the latest scientific findings, and readers must evaluate the evidence and consider its potential implications. Prior work has found that the inclusion of graphs makes messages about scientific data more persuasive (Tal & Wansink, 2016). One explanation for this finding is that such visualizations evoke the…

ASD manifests in children throughout the ability spectrum, though screening tools may not adequately identify high-ability youth who would benefit from a comprehensive identification evaluation; thus, the impetus for developing The High Functioning ASD Screener (HFAS). Information from content area expert interviews determined the 93-item pilot…

Even though media literacy education has grown in the United States and around the world, policymakers still lack knowledge about the scope and depth of implementation of media literacy learning activities in the elementary and secondary grades. This study reports how the Media Literacy Implementation Index (MLI) was developed and validated using…

Inquiry learning is a powerful strategy to instill scientific thinking into the student. Therefore, it was aimed to develop a scale of inquiry learning skills towards geometry in this study. The study was designed according to a scanning model. The study group was determined according to the convenience sampling method. 514 middle school students…

This article documents a year-long collaborative self-study of three teacher educators engaged in a practicum innovation in a teacher education program. This study, which is part of a larger study examining practicum-based seminars called "Particulars of Practice" (POP), focuses on exploring our own practices and identities within this…

This study was conducted to examine the effectiveness of proof tasks in the transition from conjecture to proof in Euclidean geometry on freshmen's proof schemes. In line with this aim, the proof schemes of the freshmen who performed conjecture-proof and theorem-proof tasks were compared. The freshmen were composed of 109 pre-service middle school…
