This study presents the methodological and procedural development process of the Digital Age Teaching Scale (DATS), a summative assessment tool designed to measure application of the ISTE Standards for Educators in K-12 classrooms. The theoretical framework of the ISTE Standards for Educators informed the development of DATS, and an 8-step process…

A common observation in Transformative Learning (TL) literature is the scarcity of ways to gauge the extent of personal transformation. This is despite a recorded history of more than four decades and the existence of multiple schools of thought in TL. Also, there has been insufficient exploration of the personal transformation of profession…

This article reports on the implementation of a formative assessment tool (the Writing Engagement Scale, or WES) in grades 3-5 in schools in the United States. We used confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to collect validity evidence for the WES for our population. Results demonstrated acceptable validity and reliability. In addition, survey results…

A lack of understanding of statistics, and being unable to apply its techniques, not only has a negative impact on the pass rates of students studying introductory statistics, but also affects the potential usefulness of these students when they enter the marketplace. I report here a novel scale developed to measure various factors that may be…

The main aim of this study is to build a new observational coding system for sibling interactions (Sistema de Codificación de Interacciones entre Hermanos -- SCIH) and to analyze its psychometric properties and validity. First, this study offers the first Spanish adaptation of a self-report questionnaire to measure sibling relationships that…

The objectives of this research were to construct and verify a mathematics diagnostic assessment on addition and subtraction basis for grade 4 students in Buriram Primary Educational Service Area Office 3. The research samples consisted of 440 Prathomsuksa 4 students selected by adapting the multi-stage random sampling method. The research…

Goniometry is commonly used to evaluate joint range of motion (ROM). The most widespread method, a manual universal goniometer (UG), is considered time-consuming and difficult to handle. The digital goniometer EasyAngle (EA) was developed to improve and simplify the evaluation of ROM. This study aimed to evaluate the reliability and validity of EA…

In the preschool period, children's friendships considered a crucial developmental task. Hence, it is critical to evaluate children's mental representations of friendships during this period. This study aims to evaluate the validity and reliability of the story completion protocol designed to evaluate preschool children's mental representations of…

Purpose: College students need more support learning to effectively search for and evaluate online information. Without such skills, students are vulnerable to mis- and disinformation that may appear in their search results, Web browsing and social media feeds. This study investigated four short instructional modules four short instructional…

The need for quality research outputs is clearly undeniable in any context that values quality knowledge production. This study examined consistency among epistemologies, theoretical perspectives, methodologies, and methods in students' dissertations. It also aimed to assess the extent to which the dissertations employ a variety of research…

Primary Scientific Literature (PSL) has been used in undergraduate classrooms as a way to engage students with the research process and to increase science literacy. Most curricula lack any formal training for undergraduates to critically read PSL even though most undergraduate science courses require students to engage with PSL at some level. In…

Within the field of school psychology, the currently accepted structure of intelligence is the Cattell-Horn-Carroll Model (CHC). The CHC model contains three strata of abilities: a general ability (g), multiple broad cognitive abilities, and several narrow abilities (Schneider & McGrew, 2018), although the theoretical salience of the g factor…

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…

As generative artificial intelligence tools like ChatGPT become increasingly integrated into educational environments, understanding their impact on critical thinking is crucial. Despite growing concerns about AI's potential to diminish students' independent reasoning, there is a lack of research tools specifically designed to evaluate students'…

The advent of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies heralds a transformative era in education. This study investigates the integration of AI tools in developing educational assessment rubrics within the 'Curriculum Design Development and Evaluation' course at the University of A Coruña during the 2023-2024 academic year. Employing an…
