Liaw, S. Y.; Chen, F. G.; Klainin, P.; Brammer, J.; O'Brien, A.; Samarasekera, D. D. – Advances in Health Sciences Education, 2010
This study aimed to evaluate the integration of a simulation based learning activity on nursing students' clinical crisis management performance in a problem-based learning (PBL) curriculum. It was hypothesized that the clinical performance of first year nursing students who participated in a simulated learning activity during the PBL session…

Zhang, Yanwei; Breithaupt, Krista; Tessema, Aster; Chuah, David – Online Submission, 2006
Two IRT-based procedures to estimate test reliability for a certification exam that used both adaptive (via a MST model) and non-adaptive design were considered in this study. Both procedures rely on calibrated item parameters to estimate error variance. In terms of score variance, one procedure (Method 1) uses the empirical ability distribution…

Brosvic, Gary M.; Epstein, Michael L.; Dihoff, Roberta E.; Cook, Michael L. – Psychological Record, 2006
The present studies were undertaken to examine the effects of manipulating delay-interval task (Study 1) and timing of feedback (Study 2) on acquisition and retention. Participants completed a 100-item cumulative final examination, which included 50 items from each laboratory examination, plus 50 entirely new items. Acquisition and retention were…

Testing the Difference between Two Alpha Coefficients with Small Samples of Subjects and Raters
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Feldt, Leonard S.; Kim, Seonghoon – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2006
Researchers sometimes need a statistical test of the hypothesis that two values of Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient are equal. The situation may involve scores from two different measures administered to independent random samples or from the same measure administered to random samples from two different populations. Feldt derived a test…

Test Review: The Revised PPVT.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Kipps, Debi; Hanson, Dave – School Psychology Review, 1983
The Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test-Revised (Dunn and Dunn) is described as a convenient, quick test, possessing improvements over the original. It measures a subject's receptive (hearing) vocabulary for Standard American English. However, the validity information for the test is less than adequate, since no validity studies are presented for it.…

Kindergarten Predictors of Math Learning Disability
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Mazzocco, Michele M. M.; Thompson, Richard E. – Learning Disabilities Research and Practice, 2005
The aim of the present study was to address how to effectively predict mathematics learning disability (MLD). Specifically, we addressed whether cognitive data obtained during kindergarten can effectively predict which children will have MLD in third grade, whether an abbreviated test battery could be as effective as a standard psychoeducational…
