In this study, the factorial invariance of the ASIS (Anadolu-Sak Intelligence Scale) was examined across time. Data were obtained from there groups of first-grade students who were administered the ASIS in 2020, 2021, and 2022. The analyses were conducted using multisample confirmatory factor analyses. Factorial invariance was tested with six…

Many education tests and psychological surveys elicit respondent views of similar constructs across scenarios (e.g., story followed by multiple choice questions) by repeating common statements across scales (one-statement-multiple-scale, OSMS). However, a respondent's earlier responses to the common statement can affect later responses to it…

This study conducted a comprehensive comparison of Item Response Theory (IRT) linking methods applied to a bifactor model, examining their performance on both multiple choice (MC) and mixed format tests within the common item nonequivalent group design framework. Four distinct multidimensional IRT linking approaches were explored, consisting of…

Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) is a significant public health concern arising from prenatal alcohol exposure. This study examines the clinical utility of Wechsler intelligence tests in assessing cognition in 108 children with confirmed prenatal alcohol exposure. Data were analysed using multidimensional scaling and Guttman's Structural…

This study examined seventh-grade students' emergent and progressive financial literacy in the context of risk and reward while working on two mathematical modelling tasks. The participants were six seventh-grade students identified as 'good at mathematics' by their teachers. The data sources comprised videotaped group discussions, group…

The complexity and long-term nature of graduate training call for mentors to adopt diversified guidance strategies to meet the diversified demands of graduates. Authoritarian-benevolent is regarded as a wise and effective ambidextrous attitude and method in traditional Chinese family education. However, the existing studies have ignored the…

The study of coordination complexes in general and inorganic chemistry courses is facilitated by theoretical frameworks such as crystal field theory (CFT) and ligand field theory (LFT). The angular overlap model (AOM) is alternative approach that quantifies metal-ligand interactions based on the geometric configuration of a given complex. In this…

This is a practical guide for applying the Impact Threshold for a Confounding Variable and the Robustness of Inference to Replacement using the konfound packages in Stata and R as well as the R-shiny app. It includes motivation worked examples, and tutorials.

This study addresses the significant challenges faced by higher vocational colleges in Guangxi, China, particularly in educational resource allocation, teaching innovation, and quality assurance. The research introduces the 3E Model, an innovative management approach that integrates three key components: Establishing a Teaching Center (ETC),…

This case study explores the complexity of leading adaptive change within a large RTLB (Resource Teacher: Learning and Behaviour) cluster in Aotearoa. Centred on the dilemma of how to adapt an internal case management tool (eRTLB) to strengthen best practices, the reflection draws on the principles of adaptive leadership and Robinson's (2022)…

The goal of this research is to develop a 21st-century learning management model tailored for early childhood teachers in Roi Et Province. The sample group includes teachers of early childhood education. A simple random sample from the sample is chosen to achieve this. 400 persons. The research employed questionnaires, an assessment form, and…

As colleges and universities strive to expand access to education abroad, faculty are increasingly called upon to design and lead global programs that are not only pedagogically enriching but also financially and operationally sustainable. While institutional interest and student demand have grown, the long-term viability of these programs remains…

Background/purpose: This study analyzes teachers' attitudes towards the implementation of the TPACK model in relation to technological, pedagogical, and content knowledge for improving teaching in primary schools. Specifically, the study examines the impact of teachers' age on the use of technology during teaching as an innovative approach in the…

Teaching residencies offer opportunities for sustained support within schools as a liminal space for novice teachers, and school-based mentor teachers significantly impact residency outcomes. Mentoring improves when mentors have clear expectations for their role and support for meeting those expectations. This mixed-method case study investigates…

Background/purpose. Self-efficacy plays a crucial role in enhancing performance in complex tasks such as mathematical modeling, yet its impact remains underexplored. This study examines whether there are influences on students' self-efficacy in modeling. Materials/methods. The research method employs a quantitative design, utilizing regression…
