The purpose of this study was to develop an instrument for measuring students' mathematics anxiety scale (MAS) with high psychometric property. A survey research design was used involving 510 students randomly selected from secondary schools. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was carried out to determine the number of factors to be retained in the…

The purpose of this study was to determine the use of Wingeom software in geometry learning in the Department of Mathematics Education. This type of research is quasi-experimental. This study examines the use of Wingeom software in geometry learning in the Department of Mathematics Education. The population in this study were all students of the…

Background: Because a fundamental understanding of rate and accumulation principles is important for engineering students across all subdisciplines, a method is needed to assess their understanding of these principles. Purpose/Hypothesis: This article discusses the development of the Rate and Accumulation Concept Inventory (RACI) instrument and…

Developmental assessment scales are important tools for determining developmental delays and planning preventive interventions. One broad assessment scale used to evaluate child development is the Battelle Developmental Inventories (BDIs). The BDI-2 has a standardized version in English with good psychometric properties and a translated version in…

In applications of item response theory (IRT), an estimate of the reliability of the ability estimates or sum scores is often reported. However, analytical expressions for the standard errors of the estimators of the reliability coefficients are not available in the literature and therefore the variability associated with the estimated reliability…

We investigated the classification accuracy of learning disability (LD) identification methods premised on the identification of an intraindividual pattern of processing strengths and weaknesses (PSW) method using multiple indicators for all latent constructs. Known LD status was derived from latent scores; values at the observed level identified…

This article aims to introduce shame and guilt from social psychology into second language acquisition (SLA), to validate their psychometric measurement, and to examine their effects on second language (L2) learners' motivation and language achievements. In Study 1, the prevalence of shame and guilt reactions in L2 settings was explored. Moreover,…

Dietary acculturation (adopting the eating patterns/practices of the host environment) of individuals who relocate to another country could be a risk factor for diet-related chronic diseases. A reliable and validated measure for the assessment of dietary acculturation may facilitate understanding of the relationship between dietary acculturation…

A growing body of research indicates that noncognitive factors are important predictors of students' academic and life success (e.g., Garcia, The need to address noncognitive skills in the education policy agenda (Briefing Paper No. 386), http://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/ED558126.pdf, 2014). Despite this evidence base, there are few…

Using Delphi methodology, we created measurement instruments for specific training tasks included in Marine Emergency Duties training. Six Marine and Offshore Safety and Survival instructors rated items important for immersion suit and self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) donning tasks. Consensus was reached, and an item was included on the…

The aim of this study is to develop a valid and reliable measurement tool that can be used to determine the technological pedagogical content knowledge efficiency of mathematics teacher candidates. The study is conducted with 453 elementary and secondary school preservice mathematics teachers. SPSS and AMOS programs are used for statistical…

Introduction: The theory of attachment is widely recognized (Ainsworth, Blehar, Waters, & Wall, 1978). This theory is based on four basic types of relationships. The sEMBU questionnaire does not focus on the relationships but parental behavior, however, parental behavior is the presentation of the relationship. Our goal was to determine the…

This study describes the development and validation of self-regulated learning strategies scale, a 30-item scale that measures pre-teachers self-regulated learning strategies toward Industry 4.0 & 107 Curriculum Reform. A total of 476 pre-teachers completed the questionnaire. A pilot study (n= 120) was examined factorial validity and…

This study investigated the validity and reliability of scores on the instrument employing Rasch analysis in a sample of 299 Malaysian adolescents aged between 16 and 19 and provided further evidence for the validity among the sub-constructs: social self-efficacy, academic self-efficacy, and emotional self-efficacy.
