Combining methods from earlier content validity and more contemporary content alignment studies may allow a more complete evaluation of the meaning of test scores than if either set of methods is used on its own. This article distinguishes item relevance indices in the content validity literature from test representativeness indices in the…

The research aims to develop a Mathematical Cognitive Test (MCT) within the context of the Jember agricultural environment to improve the Mathematical Connection Ability (MCA) of high school students. This MCT was developed using the Thiagarajan 4D model, which consists of the define, design, develop, and disseminate stages. The research subjects…

Research capability is one of the essential capabilities of scholars for effectively conducting their work. Yet current research lacks a structured exploration and measurement scale for Chinese scholars on this matter. In the Chinese research context, this study conducted two questionnaires based on the Research Self-Efficacy Scale (RSES) among…

A survey was developed and distributed to service coordination constituents across the nation to determine whether the DRAFT Knowledge and Skills for Service Coordinators (KSSC) were comprehensive and complete. Participants (N = 933) included service coordinators (SCs), supervisors/administrators, and other early intervention (EI)-related…

Considering the crucial role of education in offering mitigation and adaptation strategies for climate change, there is a clear need for objective tools to assess its impact on the understanding of the issue among secondary school students. This paper describes the methodological design used to build and validate an instrument that explores…

In this study, an attempt was made to develop a valid and reliable measurement tool to determine teachers' self-efficacy levels for teaching metacognitive listening strategies. The study group consisted of 205 teachers for EFA and 248 teachers for CFA. As a result of the analyzes, a scale consisting of 16 items with 4 factors was developed. It was…

There are a lot of very interesting scientific concepts to learn in natural and social science. The initial concepts that the student possesses may contradict the actual concepts, which is what causes misconceptions. Misconceptions are identified using misconception detection test tools. In fact, the development of the use of diagnostic test…

The present paper aimed to develop and standardise a scale for assessing life skills in adults as per a ten-factor model given by World Health Organization (WHO), which was accomplished by revising a pre-existing 100-item life skills scale for adolescents. The objective was met in three consecutive studies. A revised 19-items life skills scale…

Questionnaire designers are encouraged to write questions as complete sentences. In self-administered surveys, incomplete question stems may reduce visual clutter but may also increase burden when respondents need to scan the response options to fully complete the question. We experimentally examine the effects of three categories of incomplete…

Purpose: This paper analyses and classifies currently available English- and German-language measurement instruments for assessing economic literacy. It shows the content-related focuses and gaps of the extracted test instruments, the cognitive level of demand that characterises the instruments, the technical forms of implementation, and the…

Exams can be a stressful time in a student's life where they are required to review notes and memorize facts and figures. Many students leave these exams and forget the material relatively quickly. An alternative pedagogical exam style where students create their own exam questions is a method that engages students through active participation and…

Employment, social relationships, and autonomy are priorities to people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDDs). However, few validated measures exist to systematically assess these key adult outcomes in this population. This research includes first steps to develop self- and proxy report measures of life outcomes for adults with…

This study investigates the effect of survey order in measuring self-reported cognitive load. Understanding how survey order influences responses is crucial, but it has been largely overlooked in the context of cognitive load. Using a 2 × 2 experimental design with 319 high school students, the study manipulated intrinsic cognitive load (ICL)…

The number of complaints university lecturers make about a lack of knowledge, especially first-year students' procedural knowledge, has increased recently. Due to missing adequate empirical evidence, a survey of procedural knowledge among students of Austrian high schools in their final year was conducted. For this purpose, test items for…

Previous research on grid questions has mostly focused on their comparability with the item-by-item method and the use of shading to help respondents navigate through a grid. This study extends prior work by examining whether lexical similarity among grid items affects how respondents answer the questions in an experiment where we manipulated…
