While mentoring is reported to positively impact professional identity development, sense of belonging, and self-confidence of STEM college students (Atkins et al., 2020), a clear understanding about how identity similarity and differences with mentors can position students with minoritized identities (i.e., students who identified as minoritized…

This study aims to examine the psychometric properties of a scale developed to measure teachers' ability to use artificial intelligence tools in education. The scale was originally proposed as having 33 items across 5 sub-dimensions by Chat GPT-4, an AI system. To establish content validity, the scale form was submitted to expert review. An…

Education policy research aimed at eliminating racism necessitates methodological innovation that fosters both equity-centered approaches and robust empirical analysis of the systemic nature of racism. Most quantitative research in educational psychology omits the racist environment that students in K-12 education exist in (DeCuir-Gunby &…

Anxiety is one of the most prevalent mental health challenges in autistic children, yet there is limited evidence on effective tools to measure treatment outcomes. Previous research with non-autistic children has found that the Child Anxiety Impact Scale, Parent Version achieved good diagnostic accuracy when measuring treatment outcomes and…

Measures of autistic traits are only useful -- for pre-diagnostic screening, exploring individual differences, and gaining personal insight -- if they efficiently and accurately assess autism as currently conceptualised while maintaining psychometric validity across different demographic groups. We recruited 1322 autistic and 1279 non-autistic…

The Online Self-Regulated Learning Questionnaire (OSLQ) is a widely used self-report instrument for assessing student self-regulated learning (SRL). Despite its prevalence, the dimensionality of the OSLQ is often unclear across different populations, and its item-level characteristics remain underexplored. This study investigates the psychometric…

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 integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into nursing education is essential for equipping future nurses with the skills required to navigate an increasingly technology-driven healthcare environment. This study aimed to validate the Arabic version of the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT-2012) model in assessing…

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…

As one of the 21st-century skills, self-directed learning (SDL) has received widespread attention and has become an essential research topic in education. In this study, we examined the psychometric properties of the SDL scale (SDLS) (Lounsbury et al., 2009) with a sample of 408 Chinese undergraduates. Previous research on Chinese students has…

In primary schools, the incorporation of STEAM education has become a widespread trend, as it is believed to have the potential to enhance the quality of education and foster students' competencies. This investigation aimed to explore the definition, measurement model, and scale of students' STEAM competence, emphasizing their hands-on experiences…

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…

This article reviews the embodied theoretical basis for the meaningful learning of abstract vocabulary and reviews selected educational programs that are theoretically based and have both success and promise for abstract vocabulary development. Abstract vocabulary is a mainstay of academic vocabulary, but its nature and educational development are…

Psychotic-like experiences (PLEs), or subclinical hallucinations and delusions, are common symptoms among young adults. Therefore, the current study aimed to assess the psychometric properties of the Psychotic-Like Experiences Questionnaire for Children (PLEQ-C) in Iranian school students. The study method was cross-sectional, and the population…
