In this study, a valid and reliable scale (TSSSSS) was aimed to develop to measure secondary school students' perceptions of teacher support. The research was carried out on a total of 773 students studying in 6 different secondary schools in Ankara's Yenimahalle district in the Spring Term of the 2021-2022 Academic Year. The students who…

More than a decade after two comprehensive examinations of the technical properties of the ClassMaps Survey (CMS), this study reexamined the structure and internal consistency of the scale and, for the first time, examined its measurement invariance across gender and school levels. Participants were 1,083 elementary and middle level students from…

This study examined the validity of a 14-item two-factor person-environment fit scale for creativity (PEFSC) to measure the personal and environmental components of creativity. A sample of 2,475 participants completed the PEFSC for evaluating the factor structure. For convergent, discriminant, and incremental validities, a subsample (N = 362)…

Rasch Analysis suggested the Lakaev Academic Stress Response Scale-1 (LASRS-1) would benefit from refinement by the addition of items and changes to the wording of other items. It was named the LASRS-2 and contained Four Domains (Affective, Behavioral, Cognitive, and Physiological). Rasch Model Analysis tested construct validity and internal…

The purpose of this research is to adapt the Teacher Perceptions of Grading Practices Scale into Turkish and to examine the measurement invariance. This scale, which examines teachers' perceptions of grading methods, has six components: importance, usefulness, student effort, student ability, teachers' grading patterns, and perceived self-efficacy…

The students of higher education should perform well enough in academic life. One major problem of academic life is the stress experienced by having high grades.

This study tested factorial structure, reliability as well as gender, age, and cultural measurement invariance of the Brief Inventory of Thriving (BIT). Data were collected from 981 Italian, Portuguese, and Chinese emerging adults. Results showed that BIT scores were reliable, mono-dimensional, and suitable to assess thriving across different…

The objective of this study was to create a psychometrically valid and reliable toxic leadership scale (TLS) for use in higher education workplace environments. The TLS was administered to a sample of 482 faculty members employed by three public universities in Jordan. Another aim of the study was to determine the level of toxic leadership based…

Background: Critical thinking is essential in modern education, and artificial intelligence (AI) offers new possibilities for enhancing it. However, the lack of validated tools to assess teachers' AI-integrated pedagogical skills remains a challenge. Objectives: The current study aimed to develop and validate the Artificial Intelligence-Critical…

This study aimed to develop and validate the Gamified AI Learning Engagement and Motivation Scale (GALEMS) to assess secondary school students' motivation and engagement within AI-enhanced gamified learning environments in Jordan. The research employed a sequential exploratory mixed methods design grounded in Self-Determination Theory and Flow…

Purpose: To examine the factor structure and measurement invariance of the Körperkoordinations Test Für Kinder (KTK) and covariates of motor competence in a sample of Iranian children aged 5-14 years. Methods: Participants were children aged 5-14 years (N = 432, 61% boys). Age, sex, and body mass index were collected. Confirmatory factor analysis…

The "metaverse," which bridges augmented and virtual reality as mixed reality and includes technological phenomena such as artificial intelligence, continues to be an agenda topic. It is foreseen that the concept in question will accelerate the changes in education and teaching activities, as in many other fields. In this research, a…

A total of 216 and 367 valid questionnaires…

In the current study, we present the development of the Global Self-Esteem (GSE) measure. The six-item GSE fulfills a need for a short unidimensional measure of global self-esteem conceptualized as "overall positive view of self." The construct is traditionally measured by the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSE); however, several important…
