School counselors are in a unique position to address inequities and systemic racism in schools by engaging in antiracist practices. Yet there is a need for practical evaluation tools to support school counselors with dismantling racism and fostering equitable school environments. We introduce the Antiracist School Counseling Checklist (ASCC) as a…

This paper presents the content validation process and results of the Themis Inclusion Tool, a questionnaire designed to stimulate teacher reflection on the response to diversity in schools in Cyprus, where, despite efforts, progress is still necessary. We present the adapted form of the Themis questionnaire originally published in English. The…

This study compares the psychometric properties of scales developed using Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA), Self-Organizing Map (SOM), and Andrich's Rating Scale Model (RSM). Data for the research were collected by administering the "Statistical Attitude Scale" trial form, previously used in a separate study, to 808 individuals. First,…

When learning with self-testing alone, will a learner make inferences between the tested items? This study examines whether self-testing's benefits extend beyond isolated facts to support broader connections between the facts. Comparing self-testing to self-explanation (a strategy known to facilitate inferential learning), we find that while…

Students' performance in introductory physics at a university in Ghana was assessed over three academic years. The study covered two physics courses delivered to first-year students at the university. Two factors--access to tutorial sessions delivered outside of lecture times by teaching assistants and access to a formula sheet during the…

Objective: While qualitative research suggests there may be detrimental effects of fitness testing in physical education (PE), little quantitative data have helped to understand how students experience fitnesstesting lessons. This study aimed to examine whether the physical self-concept plays a role in how students experience fitness testing at…

Background: Remote assessment through telehealth offers potential benefits for people with aphasia (PWA), particularly where in-person services are limited. However, its diagnostic validity in developing countries remains underexplored due to differences in infrastructure and digital literacy. Aims: To compare in-person and remote administration…

In many circumstances in everyday life, individuals offload information to external stores (e.g., shopping lists) to compensate for limitations in internal memory. When saving information externally, individuals tend to refrain from actively encoding an additional internal copy of the information, leading to a weakening of its internal trace. This…

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of mind and intelligence games on critical thinking tendencies and decision-making skills of third grade primary school students. In this study, pretest-posttest control group model, one of the quasi-experimental designs within the scope of quantitative research methods, was used. The research was…

The impact of many interventions weakens during the scaling up process and low fidelity of implementation (i.e. delivering an intervention but not as it was intended) may explain why. In this paper we introduce, discuss, and exemplify the use of a framework for developing fidelity tools that aim to measure and promote fidelity of implementation.…

In the field of multimedia learning, instructional videos have become a widely used tool to facilitate knowledge acquisition across various educational contexts. However, designing these videos effectively is critical to enhancing learning outcomes and minimizing cognitive overload. To address this challenge, researchers have developed design…

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) must be present early in development, but may not fully manifest until social demands exceed capacities. In the absence of adequate biological or brain imaging markers to detect and diagnose autism, diagnosis relies on clinical judgment based on observation of symptoms. Many tools have been developed in…

There has been growing interest in incorporating point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) into the curriculum of medical schools. In this study, we describe a condensed version of the 4-view cardiac assessment and assess its reliability and validity in pre-clerkship medical students at Boston University Aram V. Chobanian & Edward Avedisian School of…

Formative assessment is a type of low-stakes assessment that can help reduce student anxiety and encourage students to engage in the course regularly. Formative assessment can also help instructors identify knowledge gaps. Students who had completed the first semester of a two-semester sophomore-level anatomy and physiology sequence were surveyed…

Interest in understanding creativity through Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) data is on the rise, yet researchers face methodological challenges in synthesizing findings across various constructs, measures, and datasets. Meta-analysis--a valuable methodology for synthesizing quantitative data--remains underutilized in…
