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…

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…

Dependability (also known as consistency) is one of four criteria in rigor and trustworthiness in qualitative research. In this article, the process of establishing consistency is discussed through the lenses of constructivism and interpretivism, as the observed social reality is viewed as epistemologically counter-intuitive. Two strategies were…

Purpose: Most neural and physiological research on stuttering focuses on the fluent speech of speakers who stutter due to the difficulty associated with eliciting stuttering reliably in the laboratory. We previously introduced an approach to elicit stuttered speech in the laboratory in adults who stutter. The purpose of this study was to determine…

Data science, as a discipline can be used in any area. However, in order to utilize data science techniques, data scientist must be taught domain knowledge, referred to as a partner discipline, in the area with which the techniques are to be utilized. Using a quantitative analysis of publicly available information and survey methodology, this…

This phenomenology research aims to examine prospective elementary mathematics teachers' proving and proof evaluation and their thoughts on convincing according to proof type and argument type. The participants were eight prospective teachers. The data collection tools were semi-structured group interviews, interviews video recordings and the…

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…

Online and distance learning technology with the learning management system (LMS) is an example of the application of online learning models at universities, which is the impact of technological developments. However, advances in LMS technology still need to be implemented in universities, the problem of university readiness being the main factor.…

Despite practice supervision in paramedicine contributing to 50% of undergraduate programmes, there is currently no national mentorship framework in place. With the issue of failure to fail reported within other disciplines, there is limited research around this phenomenon in the field of paramedicine. To explore the factors that contribute to…

The modern day is known as the "post-truth" era, characterized by the widespread dissemination of false information, as well as personal opinions and emotions taking precedence over established facts in public decision-making. For students, as future democratically engaged citizens, to make well-informed science-based decisions on…

Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) chatbots provide teachers with opportunities to enhance their expertise by exploring topics relevant to their practice. However, studies have raised concerns about ChatGPT's mathematical accuracy. This pilot study evaluated ChatGPT's Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) and Content Knowledge (CK),…

The term 'quality culture' dates back to organisation and management literature of the 1960s, but only more recently it gained traction in higher education. Researchers explored what it is (or could be) and what the antecedents and impacts are. This paper takes critically stock of research on quality culture from a research quality perspective,…

Interoception refers to the processing of internal bodily states and plays a critical role in motivational processes and behaviours. Instruments for assessing its subjective components (i.e., interoceptive sensibility) during childhood are crucially needed. Thus, in this study, we adapted and evaluated the psychometric properties of the…

This paper has two aims. One is to draw a distinction between two types of trust. The other is to argue for its applicability in academic discourse on educational policies. One of the two types of trust is "ethical trust" that rests on beliefs about others' ethical virtues. The other is "institutional trust" that typically…

It is a necessity for a researcher to ensure that the validity and reliability of the study is met to prove a discovery. However, there are still qualitative researchers who are still reckless and do not emphasize the concept of validity and reliability when designing, collecting, and analysing the research findings. The quality of a qualitative…
