Nielsen, Tine; Friderichsen, Ida Sophie; Hartkopf, Bjarke Tarpgaard – Frontline Learning Research, 2019
Self-efficacy is associated with both academic performance and attrition in higher education. Whether it is possible to measure students' academic self-efficacy after admission and prior to commencing higher education (i.e. pre-academic self-efficacy) in a valid and reliable way has hardly been studied. Aims: 1) to evaluate the construct validity…

Schmidgall, Jonathan; Oliveri, Maria Elena; Duke, Trina; Grissom, Elizabeth Carter – ETS Research Report Series, 2019
One of the most critical steps in the test development process is defining the construct, or the knowledge, skills, or abilities, to be assessed. This foundational step provides the basis for initial assumptions about the meaning of test scores and serves as a reference for subsequent validity research. In this paper, we describe the purpose of…

Cairney, John; Clark, Heather; Dudley, Dean; Kriellaars, Dean – Journal of Teaching in Physical Education, 2019
Purpose: Physical literacy (PL) has been proposed as a key construct for understanding participation in physical activity. However, the lack of an agreed-upon definition and measure has hindered research on the topic. The current study proposed and analyzed the construct validity of a PL model comprised of motor competence, perceived competence,…

Potvin, Deborah C. H.; Keith, Timothy Z.; Caemmerer, Jacqueline M.; Trundt, Katherine M. – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2015
With an age range from 3 to 13 years, the Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children-Second Edition (KABC-II) offers an appealing option for the assessment of cognitive abilities for children. Although independent research has provided evidence of the construct validity of the KABC-II for school-age children, previous studies have rarely included an…

Huang, Lan – ProQuest LLC, 2015
It is widely believed that subscores can give us more information about an examinee. Thus they can be useful in planning instructional and remedial efforts, or making vocational or academic placement decisions. However, past research has shown that subscores are often not as useful as hoped either because they do not have high reliability or…

Erol, Evrim; Ordu, Aydan – European Journal of Educational Research, 2018
This study aims to conduct validity and reliability analysis of Organizational Structure Scale-University version (OSS-U) that enables us to determine organizational structures of universities. The scale was developed based on the Axiomatic Theory by Hage, literature review and expert opinions. The sample of the study consisted of a total of 655…

Young, Anita A.; Bryan, Julia A. – Measurement and Evaluation in Counseling and Development, 2018
Researchers examined data from a national sample of 776 school counselors to further determine the factor structure of the School Counselor Leadership Survey. Confirmatory factor analyses supported use of a modified 5-factor model. Survey scores demonstrated good internal consistency and convergent validity. Differences between supervisors and…

Stokes, Erin; Olivier, Dianne F. – AERA Online Paper Repository, 2017
Reform is a common tool used by policymakers to increase student achievement. Unfortunately, reform efforts are not always successful. However, researchers have demonstrated that school culture and climate both impact student achievement (Cavanaugh & Dellar, 1997; Cohen, Fege, & Pickeral, 2009; D' Alessandro & Sadh, 1998; MacNeil,…

Lewis, Todd F. – Measurement and Evaluation in Counseling and Development, 2017
American Educational Research Association (AERA) standards stipulate that researchers show evidence of the internal structure of instruments. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) is one structural equation modeling procedure designed to assess construct validity of assessments that has broad applicability for counselors interested in instrument…

Su, Shiyang – ProQuest LLC, 2017
With the online assessment becoming mainstream and the recording of response times becoming straightforward, the importance of response times as a measure of psychological constructs has been recognized and the literature of modeling times has been growing during the last few decades. Previous studies have tried to formulate models and theories to…

Foghahaee, Zahra – Language Teaching Research Quarterly, 2019
Reverse engineering (RE) can play an important role in the re-designing tests in L2 English. It can also enrich the aim of teaching the same as raising children through academic achievement. In addition, it can play a key role in helping students understand how much their test is valid by using Standard reverse engineering (SRE). This paper is a…

Sessoms, John; Henson, Robert A. – Measurement: Interdisciplinary Research and Perspectives, 2018
Diagnostic classification models (DCMs) classify examinees based on the skills they have mastered given their test performance. This classification enables targeted feedback that can inform remedial instruction. Unfortunately, applications of DCMs have been criticized (e.g., no validity support). Generally, these evaluations have been brief and…
