Although the original long version of the Hewitt Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale (HMPS) has been translated and validated in a Spanish population, no study to date has examined the psychometric properties of a short version of the HMPS with a Spanish-speaking sample. For this reason, the aim of this study is to analyze the psychometric…

This study presents a new instrument for assessing reflective thinking, self-efficacy, and self-regulated learning (SRL) among Universitas Terbuka postgraduate students registered in an online Research Methods course. The study validates the instrument's dependability (Cronbach's alpha = 0.918) and builds a strong factor structure by means of…

Postgraduate students have to play active roles in self-determined learning, as major agent in their own learning and research activities. There is a lack of validated research instruments to measure self-determined learning among postgraduate students. The Postgraduate Self-Determined Learning Questionnaire (PSLQ) was specifically developed to…

Background: Today, methods that enable students to benefit from online programs to the fullest and learn independently and self-directed are of critical importance. Many scales have been developed to measure self-directed learning in the physical classroom. This study was conducted to design and assess the psychometric properties of an instrument…

This study aimed to develop and validate a comprehensive research self-efficacy scale (C-RSES) to measure the research self-efficacy of both graduate students and academics in any discipline. Data were gathered nationwide in Turkey from 1301 researchers including graduate students and academics. Exploratory factor analysis revealed a 28-item…

Recent research has highlighted technology-enhanced active learning (TEAL) as a burgeoning area of study. However, the effectiveness of technology-enhanced active learning environments in supporting pre-service teachers' technological beliefs and TPACK (Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge) development remains to be further investigated.…

This study aimed to examine the psychometric properties of the Turkish version of Sosu Critical Thinking Disposition Scale (TV-CTDS). The data were gathered from two independent samples consisting of undergraduate and graduate students from four different universities in the Black Sea region of Turkey.

In the study, which took into account the generation classification made with the focus of technological tools, generation X was considered…

Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) has profoundly reshaped how graduate students conceptualise, design and conduct academic research in higher education. While current metrics predominantly focus on technology acceptance and usage patterns, they often neglect the diverse cognitive engagements in graduate students' integration of GenAI…

Objective Structured Teaching Exercises (OSTEs) are used to evaluate feedback skills. OSTEs are simulated teaching scenarios using standardized learners and trained facilitators to deliver immediate feedback to participants. As per researchers' limited knowledge, there is no published assessment tool to assess the feedback skills using OSTE in…

Contribution: This study reports on a reliable and valid instrument that measures engineering students' perceptions of their competency levels. A better understanding of students' needs in engineering curricula will support the development of engineering students' transversal competencies. Background: Prior research has investigated how…
