Raykov, Tenko; Marcoulides, George A.; Li, Tenglong – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2016
A method for evaluating the validity of multicomponent measurement instruments in heterogeneous populations is discussed. The procedure can be used for point and interval estimation of criterion validity of linear composites in populations representing mixtures of an unknown number of latent classes. The approach permits also the evaluation of…

Newton, Paul E. – Practical Assessment, Research & Evaluation, 2016
This paper argues that the dominant framework for conceptualizing validation evidence and analysis--the "five sources" framework from the 1999 "Standards"--is seriously limited. Its limitation raises a significant barrier to understanding the nature of comprehensive validation, and this presents a significant threat to…

Jimenez, Fernando; Paoletti, Alessia; Sanchez, Gracia; Sciavicco, Guido – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2019
In the European academic systems, the public funding to single universities depends on many factors, which are periodically evaluated. One of such factors is the rate of success, that is, the rate of students that do complete their course of study. At many levels, therefore, there is an increasing interest in being able to predict the risk that a…

Morton, Hannah E.; Gillis, Jennifer M.; Mattson, Richard E.; Romanczyk, Raymond G. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2019
Children with autism spectrum disorder experience bullying more frequently than their typical peers. Inconsistent definitions for and imprecise measurement of bullying in the literature impede a better understanding of this difference, and multiple types of bullying topographies create additional dimensions for analysis. In this study,…

McLay, Katherine F. – Discourse: Studies in the Cultural Politics of Education, 2019
The 'digital imperative' of contemporary education practice is without contention; however, much learning technology research has focused on pragmatic issues such as learning design, often founded on uncritically accepted claims about 'digital natives'. This focus has come at the expense of learning theory. Alongside the scholarly voices calling…

Velthuis, Floor; Helmich, Esther; Dekker, Hanke; Koole, Tom; Jaarsma, A. Debbie C. – Advances in Health Sciences Education, 2019
Health professions education scholarship units (HPESUs) are increasingly becoming a standard for medical schools worldwide without having much information about their value and role in actual educational practices, particularly of those who work in these units, the educational scientists. We conducted a linguistic analysis, called Membership…

Moru, Eunice Kolitsoe; Rammea, Lisema – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2019
The use of logic is an integral part of mathematical reasoning and communication. This exploratory study explored the reasoning by 122 science students from a university in Lesotho about the truth or falsity of conditional statements. Written tasks and interviews were used as methods of data collection to produce qualitative data. The tasks…

Kuiper, Marieke W. M.; Verhoeven, Elisabeth W. M.; Geurts, Hilde M. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2019
Sensory sensitivity is common in autistic people and since the "Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders" (5th ed.), hypo- and hyper-responsiveness to sensory stimuli are part of one of the criteria domains for an autism spectrum disorder classification. For scientific research and the clinical practice, one needs reliable…
