The purpose of this study was to establish the factor structure and dimensionality of the Metacognitive Orientation Learning Environment Scale -- Science (MOLES-S) in the Thai context. The metacognitive orientation of a science classroom learning environment is defined as the extent to which psychosocial conditions that are known to enhance…

Secondary mathematics teachers' use of formative assessments have shown promise for developing models of their students' mathematical thinking and informing their instruction. While the complexities of secondary mathematics teachers' formative assessment practices are often captured in qualitative research, there is a critical need for synthesized…

Comparative interrupted time series (CITS) designs evaluate impact by modeling the relative deviation from trends among a treatment and comparison group after an intervention. The broad applicability of the design means it is widely used in education research. Like all non-experimental evaluation methods however, the internal validity of a given…

Teachers' knowledge has been an important research focus for many decades. Although many empirical studies have been carried out regarding content knowledge and pedagogical content knowledge, less attention has been paid to general pedagogical knowledge (GPK). The focus of this study is the exploration of different definitions and dimensions of…

One of the challenging aspects in this regard is that of assessment. In the present study, a connection between structures of learners' solution strategies and cognitive…

Inquiry teaching in science education has been widely advocated for decades. It is a critical learning objective in many science teacher preparation programs. Despite its importance, it is not effectively implemented in science classrooms. One of the reasons is the lack of reliable and valid instruments that provide practical definition, concrete…

The assessment of tactics is a subject of great interest in physical education and sport pedagogy. However, the lack of knowledge of the topic and the variety of assessment instruments make the assessment of tactics difficult. This study aimed to describe assessment in relation to tactical learning outcomes through an analysis of assessment…
