Recent research has highlighted technology-enhanced active learning (TEAL) as a burgeoning area of study. However, the effectiveness of technology-enhanced active learning environments in supporting pre-service teachers' technological beliefs and TPACK (Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge) development remains to be further investigated.…

Childhood stress affects physical and mental health, making its proper assessment crucial. While several stress questionnaires for youth are available, their psychometric quality is questionable. Our aim was to develop a brief, age-appropriate questionnaire to measure current stress. Two-hundred thirty German children (6-17 years) completed the…

This study sought to understand Philippine mathematics teachers' practices in relation to situated learning theory (SLT) by developing and administering a questionnaire. Following a five-step process for developing a questionnaire by Harlacher (2016), the final items reflected the teachers' performance indicators identified in the Framework for…

Background/purpose: The current research aims to construct a criterion-referenced test using the amplified objectives for the Environmental Education subject for students of the Educational and Psychological Sciences Departments in the Faculties of Education, based on item response theory (IRT) and the Rasch one-parameter logistic (1PL) model. The…

Low enrolment of students in the science stream after completion of high school in the state of Mizoram and prevalence of science-related anxieties within them is a matter of concern and rationalises the present study to assess the basic science process skills of high school students. It is advocated in many past studies that a good understanding…

A questionnaire for measuring Context University Skills and Workplace-Recognized Skills (LCUS-WRS) requires a validated and reliable instrument. The purpose of this study was to develop and validate a questionnaire to measure learning of context university skills and workplace-recognized skills, in order to carry out an advanced psychometric…

With the development of artificial intelligence (AI) applications, it has become critical for scholars, educators and practitioners to understand an individual's perceived self-efficacy regarding the use of AI technologies/products. Understanding users' subsequent behaviors toward the advancement of AI technology is also critical. Despite the…

Limited research has been conducted on the spatial ability of veterinary students and how this is evaluated within anatomy assessments. This study describes the creation and evaluation of a split design multiple-choice question (MCQ) assessment (totaling 30 questions divided into 15 non-spatial MCQs and 15 spatial MCQs). Two cohorts were tested,…

This study investigated task contextualization as a means of assessing students' ability to apply their subject knowledge to new situations. Through analyzing 527 Functional Mathematics examination questions that claim to assess students' application skills, it developed a set of principles for embedding questions in context: deep…

This article focuses on the learning of the Lewis representation at the transition from high school to university, in France. Indeed, this notion is taught both in high school and in the first year of higher education but with different methods, which seems to hinder the learners. In this work, we observe 11th grade and higher education classes…

This study aims to develop a knowledge test to assess secondary school students' awareness of scientists. After determining the topics that the questions in the test would measure, 50 multiple-choice questions were prepared and presented to six experts in the field. Following the experts' feedback, the number of questions in the test was reduced…

This study aimed to develop and test a University Students' Perceptions of Physical Education (PE) Scale. The study was conducted in three phases in a southwestern city in China from December 2021 to October 2022. In Phase 1, an item pool was constructed based on a literature review and semi-structured interviews. In Phase 2, expert evaluations…

As next-generation space exploration missions require increased autonomy from astronaut crews, real-time diagnostics of astronaut health and performance are essential for mission operations, especially for determining Extravehicular Activity (EVA) readiness. Exposure to microgravity leads to changes in astronaut physiology such as loss of bone…

This research paper introduces the (D)FIT-Choice (Digital Factors Influencing Teacher Choice) scale and discusses the outcomes of its initial implementation. The (D)FIT-Choice scale expands upon the existing FIT-Choice scale by incorporating additional subscales, namely "Prior digital technology use in education" within Socialization…

In this paper, we describe the construction and validation process of a new measurement scale, the APTD questionnaire (Accessibility, Processes, Training, Demand), which consists of four factors related to the evaluation of the accessibility of university campus, the inclusive educational actions and processes carried out by university professors…
