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…

The purpose of this article is to document the development of a new measure of teaching self-efficacy -- "The College Teaching Self-Efficacy (CTSE) Scale." We designed the CTSE scale to examine individuals' beliefs in their abilities to perform specific teaching tasks in a college classroom successfully. We developed an instrument that…

Context: Education of athletic training students should include the acquisition of soft skills. Evaluation of soft skills is important but challenging. Multisource performance reviews can provide students with feedback from different viewpoints, which can be used to promote self-awareness and encourage reflection. Objective: To develop and…

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…

When evaluating student learning, educators often employ scoring rubrics, for which quality can be determined through evaluating validity and reliability. This article discusses the norming process utilized in a graduate organizational leadership program for a capstone scoring rubric. Concepts of validity and reliability are discussed, as is the…

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.…

Despite over fifteen years of flipped classroom implementation, current literature does not provide any reliable, standardized rubric as a guideline to create or evaluate flipped classroom lessons based on effective flipped classroom design principles. In fact, at the time of this study, when an internet search for existing rubrics was conducted,…

Purpose: This study aims to present the development and validation of a scale to measure the attitudes of Latin American business students toward sustainable management practices in the economic, social and environmental dimensions. Design/methodology/approach: Using a nonprobabilistic sample, the appreciation for sustainable practices in students…

Studies have examined the impacts of fear of failure on behavior and performance, yet there are few, if any, attempts to empirically identify this construct in the context of learning. The purpose of this study was to report on the development, validity and reliability of the psychometric properties, and factor structure of the fear of failure in…

In this research, it is aimed to develop a series of scales to determine the changing values and behaviors of different generations in society today, where new media environments are diversifying day by day. 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…

This article presents the development, results, validation, and implications of the TRansformative Outcomes and PrOcesses Scale (TROPOS), a 30-item, exploratory instrument to assess transformative learning (TL) among participants in educational programs. Core findings include a reliable ([alpha] = 0.884) and internally valid instrument with…

We discuss the development and validation of a conceptual multiple-choice survey instrument called the survey of thermodynamic processes and first and second laws (STPFaSL) suitable for introductory physics courses. The survey instrument uses common student difficulties with these concepts as resources in that the incorrect answers to the…

The ACRL "Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education" has provided academic librarians a guiding document to facilitate the development of information literacy skills in students. Despite widespread adoption of the "Framework" in academic libraries, a lack of valid and reliable "Framework"-based scales…
