This study aims to develop an attitude scale that will reveal preservice teachers' attitudes towards classroom as an educational environment. Two references were applied in the process of writing the items to be included in the draft form of the scale: relevant literature and students' opinions. 50 items were written in line with these two…

The three-factor model structure of the School Counseling Program Implementation Survey was tested with a national sample (N=275) of school counselors. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) suggested a modified two-factor model was the most appropriate fit. Implications and future research for the school counseling profession are discussed.

Ordinary least squares (OLS) regression and orthogonal regression (OR) address different questions and make different assumptions about errors. The OLS regression of Y on X yields predictions of a dependent variable (Y) contingent on an independent variable (X) and minimizes the sum of squared errors of prediction. It assumes that the independent…

Sound measurement of teacher self-efficacy and anxiety surrounding data-driven decision making is crucial in both theory-building and efficacy studies, as well as in practical contexts. The present study (N=457) thusly examined the validity of inferences drawn from the Data-Driven Decision-Making Efficacy and Anxiety Inventory (3D-MEA; Dunn et…

Intrinsic motivation has a crucial role in students' learning and should therefore be taken into consideration in educational activities. In this study, the short scale of intrinsic motivation scale developed by Wilde et al. in 2009 was adapted to Turkish Culture. This is an intrinsic motivation scale, which is an adapted, time-economic version of…

The purpose of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of the Self-Efficacy Questionnaire for Online Learning (SeQoL; Shen et al., 2013). Using two samples of college students, this study examined evidence of construct validity, concurrent validity, convergent validity, and reliability for the SeQoL. Confirmatory factor analysis and…

One common self-assessment of creativity is the Kaufman Domains of Creativity Scale (K-DOCS). This article provides support for a Turkish translation of the instrument, offering exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis to determine whether the factors were consistent across cultures. The participants consisted of two groups. The first group…

This study is to design and validate an instrument to evaluate the level of development of teaching competences (academic, social, personal, and instrumental) of the university teachers. Exploratory and confirmatory analyses are applied to validate the theoretical model. The results confirm that the "University Teaching Competence Scale"…

The authors sought to develop a multidimensional scale that could be used in academic assistance settings to assess barriers to academic success among college students. Relative to the number of studies in the literature focused on the relationship between behavioral health and study behaviors as they relate to academic success (American College…

Schommer Epistemological Questionnaire (SEQ) has been widely used in varying purposes providing significant input to the growing body of epistemological research. However, there is no consensus regarding its factor structure. Since researchers in teacher education still use the said instrument, the study aimed to investigate both the…

The main purpose of this study is to develop a Reflective Thinking Scale to determine the reflective thinking levels of secondary school students. In this study, criterion sampling was employed, one of the purposeful sampling methods. The sample of the study consisted of 300 students in 6th, 8th and 8th grades in Emirdag, Afyonkarahisar. The items…

This study adapts "Change Fatigue Scale" into Turkish cultural context for potential uses in future empirical studies. It also aims to validate it for educational organizations, so the items were revised accordingly. There were three different study groups in the study. The first group included 33 English teachers and there were 150…

Scientific understanding of the nature of intelligence has steadily evolved over the years; however, the past century has seen an explosion of research aimed at understanding the construction of intelligence, the relationships between neuroscience and cognitive skills, and the best ways to measure intellectual abilities. While there is no clear…

Evaluation of music performance in competitive contexts often produces discrepancies between the expert judges. These discrepancies can be reduced by using appropriate rubrics that minimise the differences between judges. The objective of this study was the design and validation of an analytical evaluation rubric, which would allow the most…

Background: Motivation is critical for supporting persistence and achievement in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines. In this study, we focus on the assessment of mathematics motivation among secondary school students. We provide validity and reliability evidence for the Mathematics Motivation Questionnaire…
