Recent research suggests that working with generative artificial intelligence (AI), such as ChatGPT, can produce more creative outcomes than humans alone. However, does AI retain its creative edge when humans have access to alternative information sources, such as another human or the internet. We explored this question in a between-group…

The success of development projects and evaluations hinges on having access to research protocols and methodologies that consider the needs and characteristics of stakeholders, subjects, and context while remaining rigorous and culturally sound. These efforts are often complicated by a dearth of tools that have been tested for validity and…

Purpose: This study compares two electromagnetic articulographs manufactured by Northern Digital, Inc.: the NDI Wave System (from 2008) and the NDI Vox-EMA System (from 2020). Method: Four experiments were completed: (1) comparison of statically positioned sensors; (2) tracking dynamic movements of sensors manipulated using a motor-driven LEGO…

The reliability of information in the global information space is one of the most important problems of globalization. The credibility of various information resources is currently being studied and considered in different ways. In some cases, the problem of the reliability of information can be assessed as harmful and dangerous. This article,…

The use of Bayesian Knowledge Tracing (BKT) models in predicting student learning and mastery, especially in mathematics, is a well-established and proven approach in learning analytics. In this work, we report on our analysis examining the generalizability of BKT models across academic years attributed to "detector rot." We compare the…

Purpose: The aim of this study was to translate the versions of the Hearing Environments and Reflection on Quality of Life (HEAR-QL) into Turkish and investigate the validity and reliability of the Turkish 26-item HEAR-QL (HEAR-QL-26) for children and Turkish 28-item HEAR-QL (HEAR-QL-28) for adolescents. Method: The protocol included translation…

We evaluated structural, construct, and concurrent validity evidence for State-Interpersonal Reactivity Index scores among 208 telemental health counselors. Confirmatory factor analysis results supported a three-factor model. Partial correlation analyses yielded evidence for construct and concurrent validity evidence for scores. We discuss…

Robust indicators are important for identifying disadvantaged pupils in education, and for ensuring that they are rightly receiving relevant state-funded assistance. This paper compares the quality and completeness of data from England on student eligibility for free school meals (FSM) based on an administrative census, with more all-encompassing…

Studies show that processes like teacher-child interactions are a key dimension of childcare quality and that global and domain-specific interactions seem to have different effects on child development. A variety of instruments have been used to assess quality in the field of early childhood research. The aim of this study was to identify and…

A Monte Carlo simulation study was conducted to examine the performance of [alpha], [lambda]2, [lambda][subscript 4], [lambda][subscript 2], [omega][subscript T], GLB[subscript MRFA], and GLB[subscript Algebraic] coefficients. Population reliability, distribution shape, sample size, test length, and number of response categories were varied…

Researchers continue to extend the community of inquiry (COI) framework, highlighting its utility in online and blended learning environments for providing a successful learning experience. Recent studies have added the learning presence dimension to the classic COI framework which contains teaching, social, and cognitive presences, to represent…

Reliable techniques to assess centrally mediated function in healthy individuals are essential to understand the origins of neuromuscular dysfunction in pathologic populations. This study examined the test-retest reliability of corticospinal excitability in the upper extremity musculature of 21 healthy individuals using transcranial magnetic…

YouTube contains videos that provide information about many health conditions. Patients and healthcare professionals frequently use YouTube to obtain information. The calcaneal spur (heel spur) is a bony outgrowth of the calcaneal tuberosity in the form of osteophytes. In this study, we aimed to determine the quality and reliability of YouTube…

Conventional methods for evaluating the utility of subscores rely on traditional indices of reliability and on correlations among subscores. One limitation of correlational methods is that they do not explicitly consider variation in subtest means. An exception is an index of score profile reliability designated as [G], which quantifies the ratio…

Internal validity and measurement invariance of the Counseling Center Assessment of Psychological Symptoms-62 item (CCAPS-62) was examined via confirmatory factor analytic models among autistic (n = 1,268) and non-autistic (n = 3,776) college students. Findings reviewed the CCAPS-62 had a strong model fit and was invariant across groups.
