Egmose, Ida; Skou, Mia; Madsen, Eva Back; Stuart, Anne Christine; Krogh, Marianne Thode; Haase, Tina Wahl; Vaever, Mette Skovgaard – European Journal of Developmental Psychology, 2023
Mind-mindedness (MM) refers to the parent's ability to treat the child as an individual with a mind of his or her own. Studies have found representational and interactional MM to predict child development, but more research is needed on the validity of representational MM in parents of infants. Therefore, we examine the reliability and validity of…

Peter Elsborg; Paulina S. Melby; Mette Kurtzhals; Helene Kirkegaard; Johannes Carl; Steffen Rask; Peter Bentsen; Glen Nielsen – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2024
This study aimed to develop and test MyPL, a questionnaire that measures self-reported physical literacy (PL) among children and adolescents. First, the item pool was developed and adapted, and face validity was tested with cognitive interviewing. Then, factor structures were identified through multidimensional scaling and exploratory factor…

Thams, L.; Hvid, L. G.; Damsgaard, C. T.; Hansen, M. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2021
We aimed to assess the test-retest reliability of five muscle strength and physical function tests in healthy children. Forty-one children (6--9 years) were tested three times 4-10 days apart. The test protocol included maximal isometric leg press, hand grip strength, squat jump, long jump, and a 30-sec sit-to-stand test (STST). When comparing…

Larsen, Dorte Moeskær; Puck, Morten Rasmus – International Journal on Social and Education Sciences, 2020
Not enough effort has been invested in developing reliable and valid assessment instruments to measure students' development of reasoning competences in mathematics. Previously developed tests rely mostly on standardized multiple-choice assessments, which primarily focus on procedural knowledge and rote learning and not on how students argue for…

Nielsen, Tine – Cogent Education, 2020
Academic self-efficacy is mostly construed as specific; task-specific, course-specific or domain-specific. Previous research in the Danish university context has shown that the self-efficacy subscale in the Motivated Strategies for Leaning Questionnaire is not a single scale, but consists of two separate course- and activity-specific scales; the…

Groth Andersson, Signe; Denvall, Verner – American Journal of Evaluation, 2017
In recent years, performance management (PM) has become a buzzword in public sector organizations. Well-functioning PM systems rely on valid performance data, but critics point out that conflicting rationale or logic among professional staff in recording information can undermine the quality of the data. Based on a case study of social service…

Nielsen, Tine; Friderichsen, Ida Sophie; Hartkopf, Bjarke Tarpgaard – Frontline Learning Research, 2019
Self-efficacy is associated with both academic performance and attrition in higher education. Whether it is possible to measure students' academic self-efficacy after admission and prior to commencing higher education (i.e. pre-academic self-efficacy) in a valid and reliable way has hardly been studied. Aims: 1) to evaluate the construct validity…

Nielsen, T.; Dammeyer, J.; Vang, M. L.; Makransky, G. – Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research, 2018
Studies have reported gender differences in academic self-efficacy. However, how and if academic self-efficacy questionnaires are gender-biased has not been psychometrically investigated. The psychometric properties of a general version of The Physics Self-Efficacy Questionnaire -- the General Academic Self-Efficacy Scale (GASE) -- were analyzed…

We used population sample data from 25 societies to answer the following questions: (a) How consistently across societies do adolescents report more problems than their parents report about them? (b) Do levels of parent-adolescent agreement vary among societies for different kinds of problems? (c) How well do parents and adolescents in different…
