There is a dearth of research on the evaluation of the psychometric performance of instruments designed to measure students' generalist-level social work competencies. There is also uncertainty on the performance of various response option formats used to measure students' competencies in assessment instruments. Using a sample of 198 master of…

Kleijn, Suzanne; Pander Maat, Henk; Sanders, Ted – Language Testing, 2019
Although there are many methods available for assessing text comprehension, the cloze test is not widely acknowledged as one of them. Critiques on cloze testing center on its supposedly limited ability to measure comprehension beyond the sentence. However, these critiques do not hold for all types of cloze tests; the particular configuration of a…

Shavelson, Richard J.; Zlatkin-Troitschanskaia, Olga; Beck, Klaus; Schmidt, Susanne; Marino, Julian P. – International Journal of Testing, 2019
Following employers' criticisms and recent societal developments, policymakers and educators have called for students to develop a range of generic skills such as critical thinking ("twenty-first century skills"). So far, such skills have typically been assessed by student self-reports or with multiple-choice tests. An alternative…

Neumann, Michelle M.; Worrall, Sheena; Neumann, David L. – Journal of Research on Technology in Education, 2019
Touch-screen tablets are used in the classroom for assessment. Little is known about the psychometric properties of tablet-based assessments. This study examined the validity and reliability of an expressive and receptive assessment app designed to measure literacy skills. Children (N = 45; 3-5 years) completed the app assessments for alphabet and…

Alfrey, Laura; O'Connor, Justen; Phillipson, Sivanes; Penney, Dawn; Jeanes, Ruth; Phillipson, Shane – European Physical Education Review, 2019
Healthism is both an ideological and a regulative discourse that manifests as a tendency to conceive health as a product of individual choice. Healthism represents a collection of taken-for-granted assumptions, positioned at the intersection of morality, blame and health, that can lead to a privileging of 'healthy' and 'productive' individuals. It…

Pooch, Abigail; Natale, Ruby; Hidalgo, Tatiana – Journal of Early Intervention, 2019
Universal screening of social-emotional deficits in preschool children is a promising avenue for detecting children in need of early intervention. Due to the enormity of this task, it is vital that the instruments used in universal screening be brief, inexpensive, and capable of accurately measuring social-emotional development. The Ages and…

Shaakumeni, Simson N.; Csapó, Beno – Science Education International, 2019
The purpose of this study was to validate a new questionnaire for assessing students' beliefs about the nature of science (BANOS). Existing instruments have limitations in terms of psychometric validity. A new questionnaire termed "BANOS" was developed to address such limitations. The BANOS is based on dimensions of the nature of science…

Gomez, Rapson; Stavropoulos, Vasileios; Vance, Alasdair – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2019
Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and exploratory and factor analysis (EFA) aimed to determine the optimum Autism Spectrum Quotient--Children (AQ-Child) model. Initial CFA of parent ratings of the AQ-Child for 404 clinic-referred children with ADHD, aged between 4 and 11 years, revealed mixed/moderate support for the implied AQ-Child five-factor…

Bywater, Tracey; Gridley, Nicole; Berry, Vashti; Blower, Sarah; Tobin, Kate – Child Care in Practice, 2019
Background: Group-based parent programmes demonstrate positive benefits for adult and child mental health, and child behaviour outcomes. Greater fidelity to the programme delivery model equates to better outcomes for families attending, however, fidelity is typically self-monitored using programme specific checklists. Self-completed measures are…
