Effective collaboration depends on the mutual regulation of group members, positioning it as a fundamental aspect of socially shared regulation of learning (SSRL). In recent years, SSRL has garnered increasing research attention. However, there remains a scarcity of psychometrically sound measures for assessing this construct. Without reliable…

Long-running surveys need a systematic way to reflect social change and to keep items relevant to respondents, especially when they ask about controversial subjects, or they threaten the items' validity. We propose a protocol for updating measures that preserves content and construct validity. First, substantive experts articulate the current and…

Psychometric properties of the Survey of Perceived Organizational Support (SPOS-8) scores were examined with a national sample of school counselors (N = 1,005). SPOS-8 scores displayed good internal consistency ([alpha] = 0.92), one-factor structure, and convergent and discriminant validity. Measurement invariance was evident for White and…

Numerous studies have been conducted using the Survey of Attitudes Toward Statistics-36 (SATS-36). Recently, large-scale assessment studies have begun to examine the extent to which students vary in their statistics attitudes across instructors. Yet, empirical evidence linking student responses to the SATS items to instructor-level constructs is…

This article describes the development and initial testing of the "Elementary Literacy Coach Self-Efficacy Survey", a new instrument designed and created to assess literacy coaches' efficacy for coaching-specific tasks.

Driven by the need to understand placement quality indicators in action, the Clinical Placement Quality Survey--Student (CPQS-S) is a psychometrically robust survey designed to evaluate allied health students' perception of placement. The CPQS-S was developed and validity established through the consensus of an interprofessional expert panel (n =…

Positive attitude towards statistics is a desirable aspect in developing statistical thinking and understanding statistical concept. The attitude towards statistics instrument in previous study on rural school students lacked evidence in the validity analysis. Therefore, there is a need to provide a valid instrument that can assess rural secondary…

High-quality measurement tools are critical to school improvement efforts. Education researchers frequently employ surveys in order to assess a host of variables associated with school improvement. This article asserts that Rasch modeling techniques enhance the quality of a measurement tool because they comprise elements of both qualitative and…

This research aims to complete Turkish adaptation, validity and reliability studies for the Math and Me Survey developed by Adelson and McCoach for use in determining the students' attitudes towards mathematics in the transition from primary school to middle school. Within the scope of validity and reliability studies for the scale, data gathered…

This paper describes procedures by which two types of measures of Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) were developed and validated: (a) PCK Survey and (b) PCK Rubric. Given the topic-specificity of PCK, the measures centered on photosynthesis as taught in high school classrooms. The measures were conceptually grounded in the pentagon model of PCK…
