Forced-choice questionnaires have been proposed to avoid common response biases typically associated with rating scale questionnaires. To overcome ipsativity issues of trait scores obtained from classical scoring approaches of forced-choice items, advanced methods from item response theory (IRT) such as the Thurstonian IRT model have been…

Salomonsen, Tone; Reikerås, Elin – European Early Childhood Education Research Journal, 2019
This study examined gender differences in the early mathematical skills of children at risk of developing mathematical difficulties. Of a total sample of 1091 children (49% girls and 51% boys), we observed authentic children who scored low at 33 months with the assessment material MIO (Mathematics, Individual and Environment). Cut-off for low…

Rice, Paul; Beeson, Paul; Blackmore-Wright, James – TechTrends: Linking Research and Practice to Improve Learning, 2019
Educational videos are becoming more prevalent within a higher education context and the use of videos is now taken for granted. However, the full impact videos have on learning is under researched and not fully known. This study was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of quiz questions embedded throughout a video. Students from different…

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…

Trott, Sean; Bergen, Benjamin – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2019
People often speak ambiguously, as in the case of "indirect requests." Certain indirect requests are conventional and thus straightforward to interpret, such as "Can you turn on the heater?", but others require substantial additional inference, such as "It's cold in here." How do comprehenders make inferences about a…

Norton, Stephen – Teacher Development, 2019
It is generally assumed that in order to teach mathematics effectively, middle years teachers ought to have a high degree of knowledge of mathematics and confidence in their ability to do the mathematics as well as self-efficacy to teach it. This study examines the content knowledge, mathematics confidence and self-efficacy of 99 graduate-entry…

Xu, Yi; Ma, Xiaotian; Tan, Derong; Guo, Cong; Guo, Dong; Shao, Jinju – Higher Education Studies, 2019
In this paper, a quantitative system of undergraduates' creative ability is proposed through analyzing characteristics of Amabile creative theory, and the objectivity and feasibility of CAT, TTCT and AMS in creative ability quantification. The academic test scores, TTCT scores and AMS scores are used as the quantitative index of professional…

Pei, Bo; Xing, Wanli; Lee, Hee-Sun – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2019
Science classes should support students' development of scientific argumentation. While previous studies have analyzed argumentative texts, they have overlooked the ways in which other types of representations, including images, affect the production of such texts. In addition, studies into the use of visual images in science education have…

Huang, Chin-Fei; Wang, Kuan-Chih – Creativity Research Journal, 2019
This study aimed to explore different scientific creativity tests' prediction of students' science performance and domain-general creativity abilities. Two scientific creativity tests were chosen: the "Scientific Creativity Test" and the "Creative Scientific Ability Test (C-SAT)". The Science Performance Test (SPT) and…

Pattanaphanchai, Jarutas – Journal of University Teaching and Learning Practice, 2019
Computer programming is a difficult subject for most novice programming students which leads to a high rate of dropout or failure. Flipped classrooms have been increasingly used to teach programming students to practice their programming skills in the class based on their knowledge acquired from outside the classroom. This study investigated…

Kell, Harrison J. – ETS Research Report Series, 2019
Interest in the relationship between teachers' personality traits and their performance is rising. It is often remarked, however, that the topic has received little research attention. This study surveys what empirical research has been conducted among U.S. K-12 teachers from 1990 to 2018.The search, conducted according to Preferred Reporting…

Peabody, Michael R.; Wind, Stefanie A. – Journal of Educational Measurement, 2019
Setting performance standards is a judgmental process involving human opinions and values as well as technical and empirical considerations. Although all cut score decisions are by nature somewhat arbitrary, they should not be capricious. Judges selected for standard-setting panels should have the proper qualifications to make the judgments asked…

Wise, Steven L.; Kuhfeld, Megan R.; Soland, James – Applied Measurement in Education, 2019
When we administer educational achievement tests, we want to be confident that the resulting scores validly indicate what the test takers know and can do. However, if the test is perceived as low stakes by the test taker, disengaged test taking sometimes occurs, which poses a serious threat to score validity. When computer-based tests are used,…
