Children with developmental disabilities have different feeding and swallowing problems. The purposes of the present study were to develop an Arabic version of the FHI-C and to evaluate its validity, consistency, and reliability in Arabic children with developmental disabilities for assessing how feeding and swallowing problems impair the…

This study explores the implementation of Differentiated Instruction (DI) in Philippine multigrade classrooms and develops a tool to assess teacher proficiency in DI. Employing an exploratory sequential mixed-method design, the qualitative phase included focus group discussions with eight multigrade teachers, capturing their experiences and…

To mitigate the potential damaging consequences of rapid guessing (RG), a form of noneffortful responding, researchers have proposed a number of scoring approaches. The present simulation study examines the robustness of the most popular of these approaches, the unidimensional effort-moderated (EM) scoring procedure, to multidimensional RG (i.e.,…

Bayesian Knowledge Tracing (BKT) is a well-established model for formative assessment, with optimization typically using expectation maximization, conjugate gradient descent, or brute force search. However, one of the flaws of existing optimization techniques for BKT models is convergence to undesirable local minima that negatively impact…

Small sample sizes contribute to several problems in research and knowledge advancement. This conceptual replication study confirmed and extended the inflation of type II errors and confidence intervals in correlation analyses of small sample sizes common in kinesiology/exercise science. Current population data (N = 18, 230, & 464) on four…

Philanthropy is love of humanity and a sincere action without anticipating anything in return for oneself and the community. In contrast, misanthropy is defined as not loving and hating people.

This study develops and validates the fifteen-item Turkish version of the Career Adapt-Abilities Scale Short Form (CAAS-5-SF) with a cooperation dimension. The data of the study were collected from 1.575 different high school students (aged between 15 and 18 years) in Turkiye. It has been observed that the scale has acceptable validity and…

Purpose: This study addresses the lack of a short Communicative Development Inventory (CDI) form tailored to Saudi Arabic, specifically designed based on local norms, for assessing early communicative skills in toddlers. The JISH Arabic CDI: Words and Sentences Short-Form (JACDI: WS-SF) is introduced to meet this need. This tool is particularly…

In environments where individuals are the subjects, power struggles are inevitable. To gain or maintain power, people use tactics such as political tactics, influence tactics, impression management, and non-verbal impression management. Previous studies have examined these tactics either separately or together using various methods. This study…

When describing motion in physics, the selection of a frame of reference is crucial. The graph of a moving object can look quite different based on the frame of reference. In recent years, various tests have been developed to assess the interpretation of kinematic graphs, but none of these tests have specifically addressed differences in reference…

This study assessed the construct validity and measurement invariance of the Kurdish version of the General Functioning Subscale of the McMaster Family Assessment (GF6+) among parents in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. Data from 149 parents of autistic children and 161 parents of non-autistic children were analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis…

Growing evidence suggests that providing children and adolescents with explicit opportunities to learn social and emotional skills during elementary and secondary school can support positive developmental outcomes. However, understanding the benefits of social-emotional learning (SEL) programs requires an ability to measure potential changes in…
