Riana Nurhayati; Suranto Aw; Siti Irene Astuti Dwiningrum; Mami Hajaroh; Herwin Herwin – International Journal of Educational Methodology, 2024
Evaluation of child-friendly school (CFS) policies is essential to determine the achievements of school efforts in reducing violence cases. This research aims to proving the reliability and validity of CFS policy evaluation instruments in elementary schools with different locations. This investigation uses the Context Input Process Product (CIPP)…

Tenko Raykov; George Marcoulides; Randall Schumacker – Measurement: Interdisciplinary Research and Perspectives, 2024
An application of Bayesian factor analysis for evaluation of scale reliability is discussed, which is developed within the framework of latent variable modeling. The method permits direct point and interval estimation of the reliability coefficient of multiple-component measuring instruments using Bayesian inference. The approach allows also point…

Tenko Raykov; George Marcoulides; James Anthony; Natalja Menold – Measurement: Interdisciplinary Research and Perspectives, 2024
A Bayesian statistics-based approach is discussed that can be used for direct evaluation of the popular Cronbach's coefficient alpha as an internal consistency index for multiple-component measuring instruments, as well as for testing its identity to scale reliability. The method represents an application of confirmatory factor analysis within the…

Toma, Radu Bogdan – Technology, Knowledge and Learning, 2023
The development of computational thinking skills is attracting attention worldwide. The use of visual or block-based coding in primary schools has gained momentum. Yet, students' acceptance of such coding environments has been neglected in the literature. This study presents a measurement instrument that will allow pursuing such an endeavor. The…

Van Elsen, Joris; Faddar, Jerich; Appels, Lies; De Maeyer, Sven; Vanhoof, Jan; Van Petegem, Peter – School Effectiveness and School Improvement, 2023
In order to support research on school effectiveness, there is a need for valid and reliable instruments to assess policymaking capacities of schools. Increasingly, policymaking is seen as a shared responsibility of the entire pedagogical team of a school. In this article, data were analysed from a sample of 1,696 (care) teachers coordinators and…

William C. M. Belzak; Daniel J. Bauer – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2024
Testing for differential item functioning (DIF) has undergone rapid statistical developments recently. Moderated nonlinear factor analysis (MNLFA) allows for simultaneous testing of DIF among multiple categorical and continuous covariates (e.g., sex, age, ethnicity, etc.), and regularization has shown promising results for identifying DIF among…

Jesus M. Pichardo; Megan Foley-Nicpon; Danae Fields; Jung Eui Hong; Court – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
Currently, there are no existing measures to screen for or diagnose Social (Pragmatic) Communication Disorder (SPCD). We conducted an exploratory factor analysis (EFA) of the Social Communication Disorder Screener (SCDS), a 14-item, parent-report measure based on the DSM-5 diagnostic criteria for SPCD. This EFA examined the internal consistency…

Ehri Ryu – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2024
Background/Context: Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) model is a commonly adopted framework to estimate and test a measurement model. Once a well-fitting final CFA model is selected, the selected model may be used to test structural relationships of the latent constructs with other variables, to construct a test with desired reliability and…

Raykov, Tenko; Anthony, James C.; Menold, Natalja – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2023
The population relationship between coefficient alpha and scale reliability is studied in the widely used setting of unidimensional multicomponent measuring instruments. It is demonstrated that for any set of component loadings on the common factor, regardless of the extent of their inequality, the discrepancy between alpha and reliability can be…

Ntumi, Simon; Agbenyo, Sheilla; Bulala, Tapela – Shanlax International Journal of Education, 2023
There is no need or point to testing of knowledge, attributes, traits, behaviours or abilities of an individual if information obtained from the test is inaccurate. However, by and large, it seems the estimation of psychometric properties of test items in classroomshas been completely ignored otherwise dying slowly in most testing environments. In…

Moore, C. Missy; Crawford, Carey C.; Tertichny, Alissa – Measurement and Evaluation in Counseling and Development, 2023
We examined dimensionality and temporal stability of the Interpersonal Stress Scale-Counselor (ISS-C) scores in a sample of professional counselors (n = 518). Confirmatory factor analyses provided support for a four-factor model previously identified through exploratory factor analysis and a bifactor model. Using a randomized test-retest, temporal…

Clain, Alex E.; Alkhuwaiter, Munirah; Davidson, Kate; Martin-Harris, Bonnie – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to extend the assessment of the psychometric properties of the Modified Barium Swallow Impairment Profile (MBSImP). Here, we re-examined structural validity and internal consistency using a large clinical-registry data set and formally examined rater reliability in a smaller data set. Method: This study…

Yavuz Ercan Gül; Rüstü Yesil – Problems of Education in the 21st Century, 2024
Although equality of opportunity in education is a current and important issue, most of the studies on this subject are based on theoretical studies rather than empirical studies. The main reason for this can be said to be the lack of a valid and reliable measurement tool in this field. For this reason, this study aims to develop a valid and…

Mucuk, Makbule Duran; Sahin, Ekrem Sedat – African Educational Research Journal, 2023
The aim of this study was to develop a valid and reliable measurement instrument to find out adolescents' relative deprivation levels and to determine the statistical characteristics of the instrument. The Relative Deprivation Scale-Adolescent Form was prepared and applied to 586 adolescents within the scope of the study. Exploratory Factor…

Nuñez-Polo, Mercedes H. – Journal of Mental Health Research in Intellectual Disabilities, 2022
Introduction: The aim of this study is to validate a Spanish version of the Impact of Event Scale on People with ID (IES-ID). Methods: IES-ID was administered to adults with ID (n = 120), analyzing internal consistency, inter-rater and test-retest reliability, criterion validity, construct validity and feasibility. Results: Good internal…
