Xiao, Yang; Fritchman, Joseph C.; Bao, Jacqueline Y.; Nie, Ying; Han, Jing; Xiong, Jianwen; Xiao, Hua; Bao, Lei – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2019
In physics education research (PER), concept inventories (CIs) have become standard instruments for assessing students' learning throughout instruction. To promote widespread use of concept inventories, previous studies have developed an approach to split a full length CI into short versions of CIs. This research extends the existing method to…

There is hardly any cross-cultural research on the measurement invariance of the Brief Multidimensional Students' Life Satisfaction Scales (BMSLSS). The current article evaluates the measurement invariance of the BMSLSS across cultural contexts. This cross-sectional study sampled 7,739 adolescents and emerging adults in 23 countries. A multi-group…
