Teachers need technology-related knowledge to effectively use technology in the classroom. Previous studies have often used self-reports to assess such knowledge. However, it is questionable whether self-reports are valid measures for this purpose. This study investigates how mathematics teachers' self-reports correlate with their scores in a…

Concerning the Indonesian government's endeavors to safeguard Indonesia's standardized language and national language, numerous initiatives have been undertaken to uphold the disposition and consciousness of the Indonesian youth towards the language since they are the future custodians of the nation. This paper aims to present the psychometric…

Given the debate in tertiary institutions on the use of technology for assessments due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, we compare the performance of accounting students in proctored paper-based and online exams. We examine exam scores across different demographic variables to provide early insights into the impact of these demographics on…

Purpose: Functional language proficiency is presented as a conceptual framework that builds upon cultural--linguistic assets in bilingually developing children and bridges the theory of natural translation, translanguaging, and language brokering practices. A novel task was developed based on this framework for quantifying Spanish-English…

The BCBA Task List (5th and 6th Edition) requires behavior analysts are familiar with multiple assessment methods, including tools to assess the function of problem behaviors and assess skill strengths and deficits. Although several studies exist on the assessment of functions using indirect functional assessments, descriptive functional…

Today's students must acquire the necessary reading skills and strategies for active engagement in a fast-paced, information-laden, globally connected society. One opportunity imperative for gaining these skills and strategies is participation in independent reading. As facilitators of the learning environment, teachers play a critical role in…

Inclusive teaching has become one of the most frequently written about topics in the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning and Educational Development. However, the field's advancement is limited by an overreliance on faculty perspectives, affective student measurement, and a lack of measurement tools for specific instructor behaviors that promote…

Background/purpose: The current research aims to construct a criterion-referenced test using the amplified objectives for the Environmental Education subject for students of the Educational and Psychological Sciences Departments in the Faculties of Education, based on item response theory (IRT) and the Rasch one-parameter logistic (1PL) model. The…

Foreign language aptitude is defined as one's potential to learn a second language. A language learner with higher aptitude is predicted to learn more, faster, and reach a higher level of proficiency. If this is the case, one way to validate the construct of aptitude and its measure is to conduct a validation study in which measures of aptitude is…

The present work assessed a quizzing method that combines the benefits of retrieval practice and feedback, whereby learners must continue taking quizzes until they achieve a perfect score with feedback provided (i.e., "mastery quizzing"). Across four experiments (n = 952; age 18-76, M = 37.10, SD = 11.61; 50% female, 48% male, 2% other…

Background: The positive impact of physical activity on health is widely known. A comparison between activPAL objective measures and International Physical Activity Questionnaire short form (IPAQ-SF) self-reported activity levels was completed with older adults with intellectual disability. Understanding differences between the two methodologies…

Theories of self-regulated learning suggest a positive link between knowledge monitoring accuracy (the ability to predict test performance) and performance on tests. Put differently, students who accurately monitor their knowledge of course content more efficiently regulate study of course materials. However, a plethora of literature indicates…

Analyses of heterogeneous treatment effects (HTE) are common in applied causal inference research. However, when outcomes are latent variables assessed via psychometric instruments such as educational tests, standard methods ignore the potential HTE that may exist among the individual items of the outcome measure. Failing to account for…

Mostly in web surveys, attention checks have been proposed to identify inattentive respondents in self-administered surveys as previous research has argued that low-quality answers may introduce severe biases in data analyses. The increasing popularity of mixing survey modes for conducting probability-based surveys amplifies the need for…

Humane care refers to an approach that focuses on people, considers individual differences, and aims to provide ideal care, regardless of the needs of the individual. This approach can also be called the "humanistic approach". While nurses are among the main practitioners of this understanding, nursing students should also receive…
