The study aimed to explore the factor structure and psychometric properties of the Chinese version of the Family Resilience Assessment Scale for Children with Disabilities (FRAS-CWD). Due to the complexity of family resilience and the particularity of disabilities, there is a lack of reliable and valid tools to evaluate family resilience for…

As the HyFlex learning environment becomes increasingly popular, the role of self-directed learning (SDL) cannot be ignored. Therefore, this study aimed to find the levels of SDL behavior among communication arts undergraduate students learning in a HyFlex learning environment, to compare the levels of SDL behavior between gender and year of study…

The present study falls into the efforts to improve practices for addressing errors produced by learners in various situations involving the calculation of integrals. We attempt to clarify as precisely as possible the types of errors that secondary school students produce when using integrals in algebraic and graphical frames. Based on the…

Montessori education has existed for more than 100 years and counts almost 16,000 schools worldwide (Debs et al., 2022). Still, little is known about the implementation and fidelity of Montessori principles. Measuring implementations holds significant importance as it provides insight into current Montessori practices and because it is assumed…

Metacognition awareness is a fundamental skill for the 21st century. Accurately measuring metacognitive awareness would be highly relevant regardless of age, background, or cognitive abilities. The current study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of the 19-item Metacognitive Awareness Inventory-Arabic version (MAI-A) in the general…

This study explores the quantitative measurement of Community Cultural Wealth (CCW), an asset-based approach to understanding the experiences of students from systemically marginalized racial/ethnic groups. Grounded in critical race theory, CCW focuses on forms of capital utilized by marginalized populations that are often unrecognized/undervalued…

The component structure of executive functioning (EF) has been shown to change across development. Empirical research examining this in Sub-Saharan Africa is limited. We report the development of EF component structure with a large sample of Ghanaian children (n = 2,979) followed longitudinally from ages 3 through 12 across six waves. Existing…

This study examined the psychometric properties of the Career Transition Inventory after translation into Turkish (TR). A sample of 339 Turkish residents who had undergone a career transition completed the CTI-TR to test construct validity. A second sample of 184 individuals in career transition completed the CTI-TR, the Integrated Hope Scale and…

Unit-weight sum scores (UWSSs) are routinely used as estimates of factor scores on the basis of solutions obtained with the nonlinear exploratory factor analysis (EFA) model for ordered-categorical responses. Theoretically, this practice results in a loss of information and accuracy, and is expected to lead to biased estimates. However, the…

Researchers frequently use Rasch models to analyze survey responses because these models provide accurate parameter estimates for items and examinees when there are missing data. However, researchers have not fully considered how missing data affect the accuracy of dimensionality assessment in Rasch analyses such as principal components analysis…

In recent years, studies by education researchers indicate that, despite various instructional methods to enhance the conceptual understanding of seasons, the reasons for the formation of seasons and the processes involved are still not fully grasped. This research aims to investigate the fundamental reasons for the difficulties in comprehending…

With the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI), AI creativity has demonstrated significant potential for application across various fields. This study aims to explore the multidimensional characteristics of AI creativity from the audience's perspective and to develop a corresponding measurement scale. Specifically, Study 1 utilized…

Background: Individuals with intellectual disabilities are as vulnerable to depression as their typically developing peers. This study aimed to verify the reliability and validity of the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) in individuals with intellectual disabilities and determine whether the scale is appropriate for…

Considering the rise of online education and an increasing number of students with disabilities in higher education, examining the validity of the Self-efficacy Questionnaire for Online Learning (SeQoL) for students with disabilities is warranted. The purpose of this study is to examine the reliability and validity of (SeQoL; Shen et al., 2013)…

Current environmental risks, such as climate change and nature loss, force us to look for solutions in every sector of society. A successful sustainability transition requires the manipulation of deep systemic leverage points. Hence, a deep leverage point framework based on sustainability competencies is needed to conceptualise sustainability…
