The Evaluating the Quality of Instruction in Post-secondary Mathematics (EQIPM) is a 14-item instrument that uses videos of teaching to investigate the quality of instruction in college algebra courses taught at community colleges. We hypothesize that quality of instruction can be characterized along three distinct factors, the interactions…

The Video Engagement Scale (VES) is a quality indicator to assess engagement in experimental video-vignette studies, but its measurement properties warrant improvement. Data from previous studies were combined (N = 2676) and split into three subsamples for a stepped analytical approach. We tested construct validity, criterion validity,…

With recent technological advances, researchers have begun to explore the potential use of spoken dialog systems (SDSs) for L2 oral communication assessment. While several studies support the feasibility of building these systems for various types of oral tasks, research on the construct validity of SDS-delivered tasks is still limited. Thus, this…

Background: The Montreal Children's Hospital Feeding Scale (MCH-FS) allows paediatricians and other health care professionals to identify feeding difficulties among children. Aim: To translate and adapt the MCH-FS into Italian, and to evaluate the validity and reliability of this Italian version of the Montreal Children's Hospital Feeding Scale…

Applying qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) to large Ns relaxes researchers' case-based knowledge. This is problematic because causality in QCA is inferred from a dialogue between empirical, theoretical, and case-based knowledge. The lack of case-based knowledge may be remedied by various robustness tests. However, being a case-based method,…

This study was conducted to corroborate in understanding the teachers' beliefs about assessment practices. The prior studies related to teachers' assessment beliefs in mathematics have been done to assess teachers' beliefs in the general context of mathematics teaching. This study developed an instrument to assess teachers' assessment beliefs of…

China's education system faces a loss of teachers and a decline in education quality, and the new fertility policy means that the demand for teachers will increase. Against this background, the motivations and perceptions of pre-service teachers (N= 2618) were investigated. The Factors Influencing Teaching Choice instrument was used, and its…

This study aimed to find a valid and reliable self-assessment procedure and instrument to measure the spiritual and social attitude domain of Belief and Morality (Aqidah Akhlak) subject in Madrasah Tsanawiyah by implementing Borg & Gall's research and development model. The instruments' content validity was analyzed using the Aiken formula,…

The author tested the psychometric properties of the Lifestyle Practices and Health Consciousness Inventory (LPHCI), an interdisciplinary healthcare screening tool, with a stratified random sample (N = 4,009) of Black and Latinx adults in all 50 states. Results of EFA, CFA, higher-order CFA, and multiple-group CFA all supported a 3-dimensional…

The purpose of this study is to develop a valid and reliable Likert-type scale that can be used to measure the data literacy skills of educators. In the development process of the scale, after reviewing the relevant literature, a pool of 130 items was designed and presented to the experts for their view. After the evaluation of experts, the…

Researchers, theorists, and practitioners have expressed a renewed interest in the longitudinal dynamics of personality characteristics in adulthood, including organic life span trajectories and their amenability to volitional change. However, this research has apparently not yet expanded to include the Dark Triad (psychopathy, narcissism,…

Several instruments that measure the teaching, learning, and assessment quality have been developed and published. However, a psychometrically sound instrument to measure teaching, learning, and assessment quality in early childhood care and education that suitable for the Malaysian context needs to be validated. Therefore, this study aimed to…

The Neurodevelopmental Ecological Screening Tool (NEST) is a new instrument to screen children for developmental challenges. This article describes the validation of the NEST neurodevelopmental domain. Data were collected from a nationwide purposely restricted sample of caregivers of children aged 3-5 years (n = 231) living in poverty and…

This study is part of a research about the use of ICT resources by Higher Education teachers to teach, evaluate and research (UICT-TER). The aim, in this case, is the creation and validation of a measuring instrument on the use of ICT resources based on the UICT-TER model. After the preparation and application of the instrument to a sample of 867…

The purpose of this study was to develop and validate a survey of opportunities to participate (OtP) in science that will allow educators and researchers to closely approximate the types of learning opportunities students have in science classrooms. Additionally, we examined whether and how opportunity gaps in science learning may exist across…
