Alkis Küçükaydin, Mensure; Akkanat, Çigdem – Problems of Education in the 21st Century, 2022
Computational thinking is recognized as a vital skill related to problem-solving in technological and non-technological fields. The existence of different sub-domains related to this skill has been pointed out. Therefore, there is a need for tools that measure these different sub-domains. Because of its structure that includes different skills,…

Jéldrez, Elvira; Cain, Kate; Silva, Macarena; Strasser, Katherine – Reading Psychology, 2023
Reading motivation is multidimensional and a critical contributor to students' reading comprehension skill. Its multidimensionality is problematic, as there is currently no consensus on the dimensions underlying reading motivation, which are being tested through a variety of instruments that lack statistical validation. Our goal was to discuss the…
