The logistic and confined exponential curves are frequently used in studies of growth and learning. These models, which are nonlinear in their parameters, can be estimated using structural equation modeling software. This paper proposes a single combined model, a weighted combination of both models. Mplus, Proc Calis, and lavaan code for the model…

Accurate measurement of wisdom is the cornerstone of wisdom research. To provide a representative reference for the reliability level and moderating factors of various wisdom self-rating scales, we carried out a reliability generalization meta-analysis of Chinese and English references retrieved from 2004 to 2023. A total of 149 articles were…

The aim of the study was to investigate the reliability and validity of the timed up & go (TUG) test and the 30-s sit-to-stand (30-s STS) test performed via tele-assessment in ambulatory patients with stroke. Sixty-one patients with chronic stroke were included. For reliability, test-retest and inter-rater reliability were determined. For…

A number of familiarization trials are needed for reliable measurement, particularly for inexperienced subjects. Researchers have studied and developed familiarization protocols that vary by exercise and study population. The pace of familiarization and fatigue may be an individual-level characteristic, so a population-level protocol may not fit…

The aim of this paper is to measure and compare the quality of services provided by higher education institutions in the Czech Republic and Vietnam. It is not the sheer volume of services offered, but their quality, which matters as a strategic tool enhancing the competitiveness in the tertiary education market. Feedback from student-clients is…

Creativity is highly valued in both education and the workforce, but assessing and developing creativity can be difficult without psychometrically robust and affordable tools. The open-ended nature of creativity assessments has made them difficult to score, expensive, often imprecise, and therefore impractical for school- or district-wide use. To…

Test score comparability in international large-scale assessments (LSA) is of utmost importance in measuring the effectiveness of education systems and understanding the impact of education on economic growth. To effectively compare test scores on an international scale, score linking is widely used to convert raw scores from different linguistic…

This article focuses on the psychometric properties and characteristics of the Assessing School Settings: Interactions of Students and Teachers (ASSIST), an observational assessment administered by trained external observers of teacher practices, classroom context, and student behaviors at the classroom level. Study 1 examines variability,…

The purpose of this study was to develop a reliable and valid rating scale for the use of the assessment and evaluation of lesson plans and teaching practices that are based on argumentation-based inquiry (ABI). The study covered two academic years (four academic semesters). Qualitative and quantitative methods were utilized throughout the…

Fieldwork education is an integral part of the educational process in occupational therapy and assessing student competency at the end of fieldwork is important. The aim of this study was to design and conduct an Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) based on the Occupational Therapy Practice Framework (OTPF) for occupational therapy…

It has become a critical question what the reliability level would be when open-ended questions are used in large-scale selection tests. One of the aims of the present study is to determine what the reliability would be in the event that the answers given by test-takers are scored by experts when open-ended short answer questions are used in…

Running Records provide a standardized method for recording and assessing students' oral reading behaviors and are excellent formative assessment tools to guide instructional decision-making. This study expands on prior Running Record reliability work by evaluating the extent to which external raters and teachers consistently assessed students'…

This study attempted to create a valid and reliable instrument to measure how gifted children perceive the gifted label and others' perceptions of giftedness. We recruited a total of 300 gifted Turkish children (59.3% males; 40.7% females) aged 10-13 years (M = 11.4, SD = 0.99) to this validity and reliability study. For validity concerns, we…

Video data analysis (VDA) represents an important methodological framework for contemporary research approaches to the myriad of footage available from cameras, devices, and phones. Footage from police body-worn cameras (BWCs) is anticipated to be a widely available platform for social science researchers to scrutinize the interactions between…
