Even with extensive retention research dating from the 1960s, community colleges still struggle to identify the reasons why students do not return to college. Data mining has allowed these retention models to evolve to identify new patterns among student populations and variables. The purpose of this study was to create a predictive model for…

Peer reviewedTopping, Keith J. – Research Papers in Education, 2020
Measuring the implementation fidelity (IF) or integrity of interventions is crucial, otherwise a positive or negative outcome cannot be interpreted. Direct and indirect methods of IF measurement tend to over-emphasize teacher behaviour. This paper focuses on IF measured by student behaviour collected through computers. Attainment was measured by…

Language students apply different strategies to learn a second language (L2), especially when they want to attain proficiency in reading. The aim of the present study was to revisit the validity of the "Metacognitive Awareness of Reading Strategies Inventory" (MARSI-R) among Saudi students using a new statistical method of confirmatory…

The Early Childhood Environment Rating Scales, including the "Early Childhood Environment Rating Scale--Revised" (Harms et al., 2005) and the "Early Childhood Environment Rating Scale, Third Edition" (Harms et al., 2015) are the most widely used observational assessments in early childhood learning environments. The most recent…

Mazahreh, Laith G.; Stoltz, Kevin B.; Wolff, Lori A. – Measurement and Evaluation in Counseling and Development, 2019
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of an Arabic version of the Career Adapt-Abilities Scale (CAAS) using a Jordanian sample. The sample included 233 Jordanian citizens with Arabic as their native language. The final model revealed a moderate fit (root mean square error of approximation = 0.072) and was within the…

Majid Elahi Shirvan; Abdullah Alamer – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 2024
Given the recent attention to language-domain-specific grit in the field of SLA and the scarcity of research on the antecedents of L2 grit, we proposed a model that links L2 learners' basic psychological needs (BPN) (i.e. autonomy, competence, and relatedness), L2 grit (i.e. perseverance of effort (PE) and consistency of interest (CI)), and L2…

Edgar I. Sanchez – ACT Education Corp., 2024
The study by Sanchez (2024a & 2024b) reveals evidence of grade inflation in high school GPA (HSGPA) from 2018 to 2022 despite stable or slightly decreased ACT scores. This study demonstrated that the predicted cumulative first-year hours earned at 2- and 4-year colleges decreased when the predictions were based on HSGPA alone, but predicted…

Every school year, Miami-Dade County Public Schools (M-DCPS) students take a standardized state assessment in English Language Arts (ELA) and mathematics. During the 2022-2023 school year, a new version of the state assessment was implemented, titled the Florida Assessment for Student Thinking (FAST). The FAST is administered at three timepoints…

Morell, Monica; Yang, Ji Seung; Gladstone, Jessica R.; Turci Faust, Lara; Ponnock, Annette R.; Lim, Hyo Jin; Wigfield, Allan – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2021
"Grit" is defined as passion and perseverance for achieving long-term goals and consists of two proposed subcomponents: consistency of interests and perseverance of effort. It has become a much-discussed construct even though research on its underlying factor structure has produced inconclusive results. Furthermore, grit as measured by…

Jing Liu; Megan Kuhfeld; Monica Lee; Danett Song – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2021
Background: Noncognitive skills are a critical component of human capital and are highly consequential for student life outcomes (Heckman et al., 2006; Cunha et al., 2010). While there is a great deal of debates around what noncognitive skills are, their measurement, and their interpretation (Duckworth & Yeager, 2015; Humphries & Kosse,…

Zhu, Peitao; Liu, Yanhong; Luke, Melissa M.; Wang, Qiu – Measurement and Evaluation in Counseling and Development, 2022
Researchers developed and initially validated a client-report measure of counselors' cultural humility, entitled the Cultural Humility and Enactment Scale (CHES). The sample includes 434 adults recruited from web-based surveys. Exploratory factor analyses were performed to examine the initial factor structure of the CHES. Bivariate correlations…

Nelson-Strouts, Kelley; Gillispie, W. Matthew; Bridges, Mindy – EBP Briefs (Evidence-based Practice Briefs), 2020
Clinical Question: When assessing a kindergarten student in the area of early reading skills, does dynamic assessment provide additional classification accuracy over and above static, standardized assessments when determining if the student exhibits a difference in early learning experiences or a true disorder? Method: Systematic Review. Study…

Office of Assessment, Research, and Data Analysis, Miami-Dade County Public Schools, 2020
This report examines the extent to which student characteristics, achievement, and postsecondary plans can predict the likelihood of college attendance. The report compares students' self-reported plans in Spring 2019 with subsequent college attendance through the 2019-2020 school year. The postsecondary plans used in this report are obtained from…

Eglington, Luke G.; Pavlik, Philip I., Jr. – Journal of Educational Data Mining, 2019
In recent years, there has been a proliferation of adaptive learner models that seek to predict student correctness. Improvements on earlier models have shown that separate predictors for prior successes, failures, and recent performance further improve fit while remaining interpretable. However, students who engage in "gaming" or other…
