Sampson, Demetrios; Karampiperis, Pythagoras; Fytros, Demetrios – Interactive Learning Environments, 2007
Competence-based approaches are frequently adopted as the key paradigm in both formal or non-formal education and training. To support the provision of competence-based learning services, it is necessary to be able to maintain a record of an individual's competences in a persistent and standard way. In this paper, we investigate potential issues…

De Houwer, Jan – Learning and Motivation, 2006
Implicit measures such as the Implicit Association Test (OAT) have recently become popular as tools in research on evaluative conditioning. The reason is that these measures are thought to be impervious to changes in valence that are due to conscious propositional knowledge about the relation between the conditioned stimulus (CS) and the…

Raykov, Tenko – Structural Equation Modeling: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2006
A structural equation modeling based method is outlined that accomplishes interval estimation of individual optimal scores resulting from multiple-component measuring instruments evaluating single underlying latent dimensions. The procedure capitalizes on the linear combination of a prespecified set of measures that is associated with maximal…

Djajadikerta, Hadrian G.; Trireksani, Terri; Djajadikerta, Hamfri – International Education Studies, 2008
Today's institutions of higher education are facing an increased number of significant challenges taking place in the political, economic, social and technological environment. Accordingly, the issues of performance, accountability, and marketing strategies have become ever more important. It has been suggested that universities that are more…

Goodman, Anna; Ford, Tamsin – Research in Education, 2008
Emotional and behavioural difficulties (EBD) are common in children, and forecasting their prevalence in schools is of interest to both academic researchers and local authorities. Percentage of pupils eligible for free school meals is one measure often used for this purpose. The article presents the first independent validation of a simple…

Hughes, Matthew; Ventura, Susie; Dando, Mark – Innovations in Education and Teaching International, 2007
This paper argues that the emotional state of students' contributions need to be addressed in an online learning community. If feelings of fear, anger or isolation can lead to withdrawal or conflict then the potential for learning is reduced and a facilitator of an online course needs to manage these emotions at an early stage. Therefore, a…

Examining Herzberg's Theory: Improving Job Satisfaction among Non-Academic Employees at a University
Smerek, Ryan E.; Peterson, Marvin – Research in Higher Education, 2007
This study reports the results of a survey of 2700 employees in business operations at a large public, research university. The analysis tests Herzberg et al.'s ("1959") well-known, duality theory of motivators and hygiene factors and the impact of personal characteristics and job characteristics on perceptions of the work environment and job…

Kidd, Joanna C.; Hogben, John H. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2007
Purpose: Where the auditory saltation illusion has been used as a measure of auditory temporal processing (ATP) in dyslexia, conflicting results have been apparent (cf. R. Hari & P. Kiesila, 1996; M. Kronbichler, F. Hutzler, & H. Wimmer, 2002). This study sought to re-examine these findings by investigating whether dyslexia is characterized by…

Herzog, Walter; Boomsma, Anne; Reinecke, Sven – Structural Equation Modeling: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2007
According to Kenny and McCoach (2003), chi-square tests of structural equation models produce inflated Type I error rates when the degrees of freedom increase. So far, the amount of this bias in large models has not been quantified. In a Monte Carlo study of confirmatory factor models with a range of 48 to 960 degrees of freedom it was found that…

Sobral, Dejano T. – Medical Teacher, 2001
Reflects on learning with regard to measures of learning orientation, course valuing, and academic achievement. Findings suggest that a better knowledge of the reflection profile might be useful to help students' quest for self-regulation of learning. (Author/MM)

Wilkerson, Judy R.; Lang, W. Steve – Online Submission, 2008
U.S. teacher educators are faced with serious challenges to demonstrate the quality of the graduates they prepare. These challenges are expressed in the country's fixation on accountability and testing. We are witnessing the growth of standardized tests and alternative routes to certification as panaceas intended to solve the teacher shortage…

Fernet, Claude; Senecal, Caroline; Guay, Frederic; Marsh, Herbert; Dowson, Martin – Journal of Career Assessment, 2008
The authors developed and validated a measure of teachers' motivation toward specific work tasks: The Work Tasks Motivation Scale for Teachers (WTMST). The WTMST is designed to assess five motivational constructs toward six work tasks (e.g., class preparation, teaching). The authors conducted a preliminary (n = 42) and a main study among…

Moore, David S.; Cocas, Laura A. – Developmental Psychology, 2006
Two studies of 5-month-old infants explored whether a phenomenon reported by K. Wynn (1992) reflects a familiarity preference instead of a mathematical competence. Experiment 1 was a conceptual replication of Wynn's study. When data were analyzed with the relatively liberal statistical approach used by Wynn, the original phenomenon was replicated.…

Kamhi, Alan G. – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2006
Purpose: In this afterword, I will offer some final thoughts on this clinical forum by considering a central question of EBP--how experimental validation is defined--to illustrate the difficulty involved in implementing EBP. Method: The comments draw on critical reviews I have received on my article in this forum and conversations I have had with…

Turchik, Jessica A.; Karpenko, Veronika; Ogles, Benjamin M. – Journal of Emotional and Behavioral Disorders, 2007
The "Ohio Youth Problems, Functioning, and Satisfaction Scales" (Ohio Scales) are a recently developed set of measures designed to be a brief, practical assessment of changes in behavior over time in children and adolescents. The authors explored the convergent validity of the Ohio Scales by examining the relationship between the scales and…
