The study aimed to analyze, synthesize, and investigate the measurement properties of clinical tests that assess foot posture in children and adolescents. The study included research published in scientific journals that analyzed the measurement properties of clinical tests, focusing on the validity, reliability, responsiveness, or specificity of…

Learning behavior refers to students' preparedness to embrace various learning forms and techniques, encompassing skills, activities, creativity, and motivation. Positive learning behavior improves efficiency, discipline, and academic skills, while negative learning behavior results in a diminished grasp of the essence of learning and cultivates…

Daily routines have been found to be effective in reducing problem behaviours in adolescents. Daily Activities for Youth Opportunity (DAY-Opp) were assessed through validity and reliability analyses. The sample consisted of 165 typically developing adolescents (109 girls and 56 boys, mean age 16.06 ± 2.55 years). Differences were analysed using…

Effective collaboration depends on the mutual regulation of group members, positioning it as a fundamental aspect of socially shared regulation of learning (SSRL). In recent years, SSRL has garnered increasing research attention. However, there remains a scarcity of psychometrically sound measures for assessing this construct. Without reliable…

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…

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…

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…

Background: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a transdiagnostic approach which aims to increase psychological flexibility. Higher psychological flexibility has been associated with reduced psychological distress, mental health symptoms and improvements in well-being and functioning. Reviews of ACT for children and young people (CYP)…

While the term feedback engagement has become a buzzword in higher education, the constructs of feedback engagement have remained inadequately investigated, and research on the conceptualization and instrumentation of feedback engagement in the literature is limited. This paper presents the development and validation of a feedback engagement scale…

This study describes validity and reliability evidence of the Multidimensional Measure of Employability (MME) based on the internal structure and relations to other measures in a sample of unemployed persons in Portugal. Altogether, 216 individuals participated in an online survey. The MME's internal structure was tested by confirmatory factor…

This study employed repeated measures ANOVA to assess the reliability of an instrument designed to measure utilization, awareness, and perception of AI in research among 150 undergraduate students. Validated instruments with robust psychometric properties were used for the study. Data collection occurred in three phases spaced two weeks apart,…

Decision making is a cognitive process that considerably influences nearly every aspect of human life, which shapes outcomes and overall well-being of individuals. This study consisted of two parts, in the first part of which the English version of a 64-item decision-making questionnaire was adapted into Turkish. Responses were collected from 22…

As well as being important tools for information acquisition, children's questions can also lead to profound learning. Nevertheless, no scale for measuring their questioning tendencies has hitherto been developed. Accordingly, this study pioneers one for use with preschool children. To establish construct validity, data from 544 children were used…

The "LFK" index has been promoted as an improved method to detect bias in meta-analysis. Putatively, its performance does not depend on the number of studies in the meta-analysis. We conducted a simulation study, comparing the "LFK" index test to three standard tests for funnel plot asymmetry in settings with smaller or larger…

In the early years, it has become essential to support the acquisition of computational thinking, which is seen as a 21st-century skill and new literacy. A valid and reliable measurement tool is needed to develop and evaluate educational practices related to these skills. "TechCheck" is a validated unplugged assessment of computational…
