A Monte Carlo simulation study was conducted to examine the performance of [alpha], [lambda]2, [lambda][subscript 4], [lambda][subscript 2], [omega][subscript T], GLB[subscript MRFA], and GLB[subscript Algebraic] coefficients. Population reliability, distribution shape, sample size, test length, and number of response categories were varied…

Researchers continue to extend the community of inquiry (COI) framework, highlighting its utility in online and blended learning environments for providing a successful learning experience. Recent studies have added the learning presence dimension to the classic COI framework which contains teaching, social, and cognitive presences, to represent…

Assessing students' perceptions of the services provided by school counselors is crucial in promoting these services. However, there is no reliable scale for this assessment in the Persian language to date. Thus, this study aimed to translate and validate the School Counselor Noncognitive Skills Scale (SCNSS) among Iranian high school students.…

Deciding whether two different face photographs or voice samples are from the same person represent fundamental challenges within applied settings.

Here, participants completed the same…

The purpose of this study was to find the effect of English Language Teachers' Methodology (ELTM) on the Career Growth (CG) of the Saudi students. In order to provide a solid basis for this research study, a cross-sectional-descriptive research design was employed. For scale development and tool standardization, inter-class correlation…

The use of personality inventories has been limited because of their cost and the length. To overcome these limitations, this study created the Personality Identity Estimator (PIE), an easy-to-use inventory to estimate personality types that can be used at no cost. PIE is a categorical inventory containing 12 items with 3 items for each of the 4…

This project aims to develop a reliable and valid scale measuring Chinese college students' competitive psychology, that is, an…

We explored three approaches to resolving or re-scoring constructed-response items in mixed-format assessments: rater agreement, person fit, and targeted double scoring (TDS). We used a simulation study to consider how the three approaches impact the psychometric properties of student achievement estimates, with an emphasis on person fit. We found…

This research studied the relationship between self-regulation skills and test anxiety level of secondary school students. The sample of the study, which was designed as a correlational research design, consisted of 234 7th and 8th grade secondary school students.

Most researchers investigate the corrected item-total correlation of items when analyzing item discrimination in multi-dimensional structures under the Classical Test Theory, which might lead to underestimating item discrimination, thereby removing items from the test. Researchers might investigate the corrected item-total correlation with the…

Empirical research in education has largely adopted quantitative approaches to measure teachers' and students' perceptions of fairness and justice in classroom contexts.
