Introduction: Dysarthria, a motor speech disorder that has a significant impact on communication, requires precise assessment for accurate diagnosis and intervention. Although internationally recognised assessment tools exist, many are not culturally or linguistically adapted for Spanish-speaking populations. The objective of this study was to…

Student participation in Indonesia in activities that develop research skills, such as OPSI ("Olimpiade Penelitian Siswa Indonesia" or Indonesian Student Research Olympiad), remains low. A preliminary study to gather teachers' perceptions regarding research skills was also conducted by the author using a questionnaire; the results…

Reflexivity in quantitative research is central to questioning the ways in which the data is designed, collected and interpreted. It requires the researcher to be reflexive about their knowledge, their positionality, and the bias they may bring at each stage of the research. Unfortunately, though, limited evidence exists on the use of reflexive…

Transparency in high-stakes English language assessment has become crucial for ensuring fairness and maintaining assessment validity in language testing. However, our understanding of how transparency is conceptualised and implemented remains fragmented, particularly in relation to stakeholder experiences and technological innovations. This study…

The development of generative artificial intelligence (AI) has started a conversation on its possible uses and inherent difficulties in the field of education. It becomes essential to understand the perceptions of pre-service teachers about the integration of this technology into teaching practices as AI models including ChatGPT, Claude, and…

Assessing preservice teachers' inclusive classroom management self-efficacy (ICMSE) is critical for effectively implementing classroom management practices. Although the literature provides well-established instruments, many do not cover all domains of ICMSE. Above all, there is a notable absence of instruments assessing this multidimensional…

Background/purpose: Peer attachment refers to the quality of adolescents' relationships with peers and plays a critical role in social adjustment and engagement in learning within school environments. Despite its importance, a standardized instrument for measuring this construct has not been available in the Indonesian educational context.…

The first aim of this study was to construct/validate a subscale--with cut-offs considering gender/age differences--for the school-age Child Behavior CheckList (CBCL) to screen for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) applying both data-driven (N = 1666) and clinician-expert (N = 15) approaches. Further, we compared these to previously established CBCL…

Researchers have called for undergraduate courses to update teaching frameworks based on the Modern Synthesis with insights from molecular biology, by stressing the molecular underpinnings of variation and adaptation. To support this goal, we developed a modified version of the widely used Assessing Conceptual Reasoning of Natural Selection…

Currently, we are facing the rapid development of information and communication technology (ICT) that characterizes the 21st century. Challenges, problems, life, and careers in the 21st century can be successfully faced if we master the 21st century skills. However, nowadays it is still very rare to develop a 21st century skill measurement model,…

Purpose: This study extends research on one of the most frequently cited school leadership frameworks by examining the psychometric properties of the instrument designed to assess many of the practices included in that framework. Design/methodology/approach: Using data collected from 1,401 teachers the study examined the instrument's measurement…

Appropriate instruments are required for professionals in the field of educational psychology to measure students' strategies to cope with stress. As the results of previous studies are inconsistent, the purpose of the present manuscript was to examine the factor structure of the situational version of the Brief COPE as an economic and flexible…

We develop and validate a self-report measure of intrinsic and extrinsic cognitive load suitable for measuring the constructs in a variety of learning contexts. Data were collected from three independent samples of college students in the U.S. (N[subscript total]= 513; M[subscript age]= 21.13 years). Kane's (2013) framework was used to validate…

Processing speed is a component of general intelligence and an indicator of learning potential. There is a need for robust measures of mental speed based on contemporary theoretical developments. The current study addressed this need by proposing a mental speed test for children aged 60 to 96 months (5 to 8 years) and examining its psychometric…

Engaging in design thinking activities has been increasingly viewed as important for the craft of teaching for early childhood practitioners. However, reliable and valid measurements for this are lacking. As such, this research aims to develop and validate a design thinking engagement scale (DTES) to assess teachers' engagement in design thinking.…
