This study aimed to develop and validate the Creative Problem-Solving Skills Test (CPSS-T), grounded in Torrance's creativity theory, to assess these skills in university students. The CPSS-T consists of five open-ended question types, each designed to measure different aspects of creative problem-solving: Alternative Use, Hypothetical Scenario,…

Limited research has been conducted on the spatial ability of veterinary students and how this is evaluated within anatomy assessments. This study describes the creation and evaluation of a split design multiple-choice question (MCQ) assessment (totaling 30 questions divided into 15 non-spatial MCQs and 15 spatial MCQs). Two cohorts were tested,…

This paper reports how I addressed the issue of extensive missing values in my PhD study, "Digital Competencies of High School Mathematics Teachers". I collected data using an online survey. Several methods exist to address the issue of missing values. I utilised multiple imputation (MI) as it provides more accurate results. The mean…

The aim of the study was to evaluate the extended version of the Problem-Solving Inventory (PSI) via an online learning setting known as the Online Problem-Solving Inventory (OPSI) through the lens of Rasch Model analysis. To date, there is no extended version of the PSI for online settings even though many researchers have used it; thus, this…

Background: One area that has been dramatically changed by artificial intelligence (AI) is educational environments. Chatbots, Recommender Systems, Adaptive Learning Systems and Large Language Models have been emerging as practical tools for facilitating learning. However, using such tools appropriately is challenging. In this regard, the…

Prior Theory: Social-emotional learning (SEL) is the ability to manage emotions and social interactions adaptively to succeed in school, at work, in relationships, and in communities (Jones & Doolittle, 2017). The most cited SEL theory is the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL) 5 model, which focuses on promoting…

Computational thinking is recognized as a vital skill related to problem-solving in technological and non-technological fields. The existence of different sub-domains related to this skill has been pointed out. Therefore, there is a need for tools that measure these different sub-domains. Because of its structure that includes different skills,…

The development of assessments as part of the funded LOCUS project is described. The assessments measure students' conceptual understanding of statistics as outlined in the GAISE PreK-12 Framework. Results are reported from a large-scale administration to 3,430 students in grades 6 through 12 in the United States. Items were designed to assess…

The purposes of the research were to: (1) create a scientific creativity measure for high school students; (2) examine the quality of the science creativity scale of the created test; (3) establish a benchmark for scientific creativity scores for high school students; and (4) study a scientific creativity level of students in the senior high…

The purpose of this research is to develop test questions of problem solving ability on work-energy material for high school students class X. This type of research is research and development. The model used in this study is ADDIE with the stages of analyzing, planning, developing, implementing, and evaluating, but this study only up to the…

The study was conducted to analyze the items about the ability of high school students diagram representation and obtain Item Curve Characteristic. Grid test instruments are compiled based on competencies and indicators of diagram representation which are then used to compile items. The test instrument consisted of five items and was validated by…

This study aims at developing an instrument to measure metacognition in solving physics problems among college students. This study used Research and Development (R & D) model with the non-test instrument development model. The instrument was in the form of a questionnaire that consisted of four choices with the scale was ranging from 1 to 4.…

This research aims to produce feasible and valid assessment instrument of Higher Order Thinking Skill (HOTS) to measure students' Higher Order Thinking Skill in Physics learning. The type of this research was research and development, adapted from development model from Brog and Gall. The researchers modified Borg and Gall's development model as…

The Inclusive Assessment of Computational Thinking (CT) designed for accessibility and learner variability was studied in over 50 classes in US schools (grades 3-8). The validation studies of IACT sampled thousands of students to establish IACT's construct and concurrent validity as well as test-retest reliability. IACT items for each CT practice…

This study addresses the development and evaluation of the Physics Problem-Solving Taxonomy (PPST), comprising five levels: retrieval, diagnosis, strategy, conceptual, and creative thinking. The taxonomy draws on Bloom's revised taxonomy in the cognitive domain, the Types of Knowledge Taxonomy, and the Problem-Solving Taxonomy in engineering. The…
