The integration of educational robotics into the educational process significantly impacts students of various age groups,…

Transdisciplinary thinking is crucial for addressing global challenges, yet standardized assessment tools for high school students are lacking. This study addresses this gap by developing and validating a transdisciplinary thinking scale (TTS) tailored for this demographic. Following established methodologies, the TTS was crafted through expert…

This study aimed to develop and validate the online learning experience scale for art students (OLESA) in higher education. A qualitative-quantitative sequential mixed-method design was used for the instrument validation. According to the widely-accepted scale development process, this study followed the steps of item pool generation, expert…

Self-Efficacy scale for teachers. The items of the scale were prepared as a result of examining the literature on self-efficacy and project-making. In the first stage, the scale, which contains 40 items, was applied to a total of 578 teachers working in different branches in 7 geographical regions of Türkiye. The collected data were used to…

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…

Conventional mathematics testing often fails to reflect the diverse cultural backgrounds and lived experiences of Indigenous pupils. While efforts to improve educational access for Indigenous communities have increased, less emphasis has been placed on adapting test development processes to align with Indigenous learners' linguistic backgrounds…

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…

Recent research has highlighted technology-enhanced active learning (TEAL) as a burgeoning area of study. However, the effectiveness of technology-enhanced active learning environments in supporting pre-service teachers' technological beliefs and TPACK (Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge) development remains to be further investigated.…

Childhood stress affects physical and mental health, making its proper assessment crucial. While several stress questionnaires for youth are available, their psychometric quality is questionable. Our aim was to develop a brief, age-appropriate questionnaire to measure current stress. Two-hundred thirty German children (6-17 years) completed the…

With the development of artificial intelligence (AI) applications, it has become critical for scholars, educators and practitioners to understand an individual's perceived self-efficacy regarding the use of AI technologies/products. Understanding users' subsequent behaviors toward the advancement of AI technology is also critical. Despite the…

Limited research has been conducted on the spatial ability of veterinary students and how this is evaluated within anatomy assessments. This study describes the creation and evaluation of a split design multiple-choice question (MCQ) assessment (totaling 30 questions divided into 15 non-spatial MCQs and 15 spatial MCQs). Two cohorts were tested,…

This dissertation comprises three complementary studies that aim to advance the understanding and practice of Individualized Education Programs (IEP) and Present Levels of Academic Achievement and Functional Performance (PLAAFP) development in special education.
