Peng, Yun; Hong, Eunsook; Mason, Elsa – Educational Research and Evaluation, 2014
A structural equation model of relationships among testing-related motivation variables (test value, effort, self-efficacy, and test anxiety), test-taking strategies (test tactics and metacognitive strategies), gender, and math test performance were examined with a sample of 10th graders (N = 438; 182 males and 256 females). In general, motivation…

Bailey, MarLynn; Taasoobshirazi, Gita; Carr, Martha – Journal of Educational Research, 2014
Previous studies have shown that several key variables influence student achievement in geometry, but no research has been conducted to determine how these variables interact. A model of achievement in geometry was tested on a sample of 102 high school students. Structural equation modeling was used to test hypothesized relationships among…

Zhang, Zhiyong; Lai, Keke; Lu, Zhenqiu; Tong, Xin – Structural Equation Modeling: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2013
Despite the widespread popularity of growth curve analysis, few studies have investigated robust growth curve models. In this article, the "t" distribution is applied to model heavy-tailed data and contaminated normal data with outliers for growth curve analysis. The derived robust growth curve models are estimated through Bayesian…
