The home environment is a significant factor that greatly influences the motor development of children. This study aims to examine the cultural adaptation validity and reliability of the Affordances in the Home Environment for Motor Development (AHEMD-SR) for Turkish children aged 18--42 months. The study included 103 Turkish children (mean age =…

Generative artificial intelligence technologies, such as ChatGPT, bring an unprecedented change in education by leveraging the power of natural language processing and machine learning. Employing ChatGPT to assist with marking written assessment presents multiple advantages including scalability, improved consistency, eliminating biases associated…

The UK's STEM skills gap is a pervasive issue, manifesting as a marked shortage of skilled workers in these sectors. This shortage poses significant challenges for employers, who find it increasingly difficult to fill job vacancies with qualified candidates. The gravity of this problem has not gone unnoticed, with the government launching…

The main aim of our study was to adapt the Questionnaire on Teacher Interaction (QTI) to an Estonian context. The QTI was translated and evaluated by three educational researchers and validated with a sample of 508 students from grades 6 and 9 in 13 middle schools. When statistical analyses were utilized to investigate reliability and validity of…

Within the frequentist structural equation modeling (SEM) framework, adjudicating model quality through measures of fit has been an active area of methodological research. Complicating this conversation is research revealing that a higher quality measurement portion of a SEM can result in poorer estimates of overall model fit than lower quality…

In this paper, we explore measurements of design creativity through metrics related to the processes used in designing and relate them to the metrics used in psychology for idea creativity, ie, novelty and fluency. Our goal was to test the reliability of psychometric measures of creativity to assess creativity in team design. We studied 19 teams…

Purpose: Multisite mediation studies are a cornerstone in mapping out developmental processes because they probe the mechanisms of a treatment while creating key opportunities to learn from and about variation in those mechanisms across sites. Despite the prevalence of multisite studies, a significant gap in the literature is how to plan such…

To examine reliability and validity of the new Social Motor Function Classification System for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (SMFCS-ASD). The SMFCS-ASD reliability was examined on 25 children (62.4 months SD 7.8) with ASD among six physical therapists. The validity study involved 1001 children (57.0 months, SD 9.9) with ASD using the…

Aim: The purpose of this study was to develop and assess the reliability of a Hindi version of the Consensus Auditory-Perceptual Evaluation of Voice (CAPE-V). Reliability was assessed by comparing Hindi CAPE-V ratings with English CAPE-V ratings and by the Grade, Roughness, Breathiness, Asthenia and Strain (GRBAS) scale. Method: Hindi sentences…

The aim of this study is to develop a rubric to assess mathematical reasoning competence. Since the aim is to assess a competency, the frameworks of the PISA exams in the literature, which give an important place to competencies, have been examined. Due to its focus and in-depth analysis of mathematical reasoning, each of the actions expected from…

The observation systems being used in all 50 states require administrators to learn to accurately and reliably score their teachers' instruction using standardized observation systems. Although the literature on observation systems is growing, relatively few studies have examined the outcomes of trainings focused on developing administrators'…

The aim of this study was to develop an instrument for assessing sixth-grade students' number sense skills in fractions and decimals. This study was conducted on 452 sixth graders (10-11 years old) from the western region of Turkey. The construct validity of the number sense test (NST) was examined via exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and…

Psychologists are emphasizing the importance of predictive conclusions. Machine learning methods, such as supervised neural networks, have been used in psychological studies as they naturally fit prediction tasks. However, we are concerned about whether neural networks fitted with random datasets (i.e., datasets where there is no relationship…

The aims of this reliability generalization study were to provide the overall alpha values of the California critical thinking disposition inventory (CCTDI) total score and subscales scores and investigate the characteristics of the studies that may be associated with the variability in the reliability values of the CCTDI total score and subscales…

The limitations of Cohen's ? are reviewed and an alternative G-index is recommended for assessing nominal-scale agreement. Maximum likelihood estimates, standard errors, and confidence intervals for a two-rater G-index are derived for one-group and two-group designs. A new G-index of agreement for multirater designs is proposed. Statistical…
