Researchers design diagnostic assessments to measure students' knowledge structures and processing skills to provide information about their cognitive attribute. The purpose of this study is to determine the instrument's validity and score reliability, as well as to investigate the use of classical test theory to identify item characteristics. The…

Evaluation of child-friendly school (CFS) policies is essential to determine the achievements of school efforts in reducing violence cases.
