Yang, Jie; Zabriskie, Cabot; Stewart, John – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2019
Many studies have examined the structure and properties of the Force Concept Inventory (FCI); however, far less research has investigated the Force and Motion Conceptual Evaluation (FMCE). This study applied Multidimensional Item Response Theory (MIRT) to a sample of N = 4528 FMCE post-test responses. Exploratory factor analysis showed that 5, 9,…

Golino, Hudson; H.amer, Rebecca; Almers, Ellen; Kjellström, Sofia – Cogent Education, 2019
New measurement of students' learning and teaching concepts is essential for creating constructive alignment in teaching and support formative assessment to promote epistemic development. The Epistemological Development in Teaching Learning Questionnaire (EDTLQ) was developed to meet these needs. In the present study, the factor structure of EDTLQ…

Fu, Mingchen; Zhang, Li-Fang – Measurement and Evaluation in Counseling and Development, 2019
The article describes the development and validation of the Career Personality Styles Inventory (CPSI). The CPSI comprehensively assesses Holland's career personality styles with only 22 items. Based on a series of 3 studies, we found satisfactory internal consistency, factor structure, and criterion validities of the newly constructed CPSI.

Liu, Xiaohua; Brown, Gavin T. L. – Journal of Research in Reading, 2019
Although there have been extensive theoretical discussions on the various reading skills needed in academic situations, empirical investigations on this topic are scarce. There is even much less research on the latent structure underlying those skill needs. This study attempts to fill this gap by investigating the perceived factorial structure of…

Aydin, Mustafa; Kecici, Sayime Erben – International Journal of Instruction, 2019
In this study, it is aimed to adapt the LIST scale that was prepared by Boerner et al. (2005) to define the learning strategies of university students, to Turkish. Validity and reliability analysis were made for Turkish form considering the original form. The study was conducted with 754 college students. Firstly, the linguistic equivalency of the…

Çetin Toraman; Günes Korkmaz – SAGE Open, 2023
Understanding education and schooling has always been of great importance for researchers and for the society in digital era. The changing conditions and ever-growing situations in education have also impacted on the meaning that the students attribute to schools, especially after the pandemic. This study aims to develop a measurement tool that…

Gonzalez, Oscar; MacKinnon, David P. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2018
Statistical mediation analysis allows researchers to identify the most important mediating constructs in the causal process studied. Identifying specific mediators is especially relevant when the hypothesized mediating construct consists of multiple related facets. The general definition of the construct and its facets might relate differently to…

Said-Metwaly, Sameh; Fernández-Castilla, Belén; Kyndt, Eva; Van den Noortgate, Wim – Creativity Research Journal, 2018
To investigate the factor structure of the Figural Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking (Figural TTCT), a meta-confirmatory factor analysis was performed. A sample of 33 correlation matrices from 26 studies (N[subscript individuals] = 6,982) was included in the meta-analysis. Four different factor models previously presented in the literature were…

Katz, Irvin R.; Rijmen, Frank; Attali, Yigal – ETS Research Report Series, 2018
Few would argue about the growing importance of information and communication technology (ICT) literacy as relatively new and distinct skills that affect educational attainment, workforce readiness, and lifelong learning. There is less agreement, however, as to what ICT literacy skills and knowledge are, how best to measure them, and strategies…

Shanley, Lina; Clarke, Ben; Doabler, Christian; Kurtz-Nelson, Evangeline; Fien, Hank – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2018
Early number skills are a critical aspect of early mathematics development. However, the constructs that comprise early number skills differ across assessments, and previous studies have proposed various models of early mathematics skills comprised of formal and informal tasks. This study explored the factor structure of a researcher-developed…

Haavold, Per Øystein – Journal of Creative Behavior, 2018
In this exploratory study, a theoretical model proposed by Sriraman (2005) consisting of five theoretical principles for optimizing creativity in a K-12 setting was investigated empirically. This was accomplished in two steps. In the first study, the five principles were operationalized by generating a questionnaire consisting of 45 items intended…

Demirci, Sinem; Sahin, Elvan; Teksöz, Gaye; Marcinkowski, Thomas J. – Journal of Teacher Education for Sustainability, 2021
The ongoing debates about the effects of human population growth (HPG) is one of the concepts in education for sustainable development (ESD). Beliefs toward HPG are an important construct for teacher education because beliefs potentially interfere with their instructional practices and students' beliefs, attitudes and behaviors. Accordingly, this…
