Teachers were selected from all regions of Turkey and different branches at primary, secondary, and high school levels to enhance generalization and diversity. The data was collected from 314 teachers for the exploratory factor analysis and 296 for…

The Hearts and Flowers (H&F) task is a computerized executive functioning (EF) assessment that has been used to measure EF from early childhood to adulthood. It provides data on accuracy and reaction time (RT) across three different task blocks (hearts, flowers, and mixed). However, there is a lack of consensus in the field on how to score the…

Researchers design diagnostic assessments to measure students' knowledge structures and processing skills to provide information about their cognitive attribute. The purpose of this study is to determine the instrument's validity and score reliability, as well as to investigate the use of classical test theory to identify item characteristics. The…

Evaluation of child-friendly school (CFS) policies is essential to determine the achievements of school efforts in reducing violence cases. This research aims to proving the reliability and validity of CFS policy evaluation instruments in elementary schools with different locations. This investigation uses the Context Input Process Product (CIPP)…

Research and policy reports estimate that 10%-40% of U.S. children and adolescents currently have or very recently have had at least one significant mental health condition. Students who exhibit substantial behavior and emotional problems in school often show less severe problems when younger. Screening for less severe problems at younger ages can…

This study aims to test the validity and reliability of the IoJEPD model instrument to improve the competence of elementary school teachers. This study uses content validity. Quantitative methods and professional experts are the considerations used in this research. The stage of proving the validity of this instrument is carried out utilizing a…

Reliable and valid assessment of parenting and child behaviors is critical for clinicians and researchers alike, and observational measures of parenting behaviors are often considered the gold standard for assessing parenting and parent-child interaction quality. The current study sought to evaluate the reliability and validity of the Coder…

This article focuses on the validity of the students' attitudes toward mathematics scale based on data from TIMSS 2019. The scale has been reported as having a three-factor structure for decades, but this study assumes the validity can appear differently depending on the country or culture. Thus, the scale should first be checked for invariance…

The ultimate goal of this study is to test the validity of the newly developed Sustainable Leadership for Learning Questionnaire (SLLQ) in terms of predictive validity on teacher satisfaction towards teaching. Apart from that this study also to test the convergent and discriminant validity of SLLQ. To achieve the objective of the study, a…

Motivation impacts student academic performance. A performance task to directly assess writing motivation in young children is needed. The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the validity of the Writing Challenge Task (WCT), a task-oriented assessment created to measure writing motivation with 106 kindergarten students in the rural…

Successful early mathematical development is vital to children's later education, employment, and wellbeing outcomes. However, established measurement tools are infrequently used to (i) assess children's mathematical skills and (ii) identify children with or at-risk of mathematical learning difficulties. In response, this pre-registered systematic…

Computational thinking (CT) is widely recognized as a fundamental skill in the information age. However, within the context of Chinese early childhood education (ECE), CT remains underrepresented, with a notable gap in the availability of developmentally appropriate and rigorously validated assessment tools designed specifically for…

The study aimed to develop and validate a tool that assessed students' foundational movement skills, for primary school teachers. The playground circuit, including 14 movement skills (e.g. functional, locomotor and object control), was developed through insights and recommendations from teachers (n = 36) and academic experts (n = 25). To validate…

The purpose of this study was to compare the classification accuracy of data produced by the previous year's end-of-year New York state assessment, a computer-adaptive diagnostic assessment ("i-Ready"), and the gating combination of both assessments to predict the rate of students passing the following year's end-of-year state assessment…

The main aim of this study is to develop a useful, valid, and reliable two-tier proportional reasoning skill test for middle school 7th and 8th-grade students. The research was carried out using the sequential explanatory mixed method. The study group of this research comprised of 391 (n[subscript 7th-grade]=223, n[subscript 8th-grade]=168)…
