Web-based assessment software provides instructors an array of options for varying testing parameters, but the pedagogical impacts of some of these variations has yet to be…

Unfavorable test-taking behaviors, such as speededness and disengagement, have long been a validity concern for large-scale low-stakes assessments. Understanding the presence and extent of such behaviors is important for ensuring the validity of inferences based on test scores. This study examined test-taking behaviors using item response time…

In the context of disability, acceptance of disability is acceptance of loss, and it is a process of value changes. Although social support such as family support has been found to be significantly correlated with disability adjustment, observation on the literature related to conceptualisation and scales on self-acceptance of people with…

The aim of this study is to adapt the 15-item Chatbot Usability Scale to the Turkish language and culture and evaluate the validity and reliability of the scale in the Turkish language and culture after the adaptation process. The necessary permissions were obtained, and the process was initiated. Proficient translators in both cultures were…

Online metacognitive skills are the real-time awareness of cognition, which can effectively promote science learning and improve performance in solving scientific problems. Therefore, it is important to enhance and diagnose students' online metacognitive skills in science education. This study aimed to evaluate ninth-grade students' online…

Common content knowledge (CCK) is fundamental for quality instruction and critical to be acquired among physical education preservice teachers (PSTs). The purpose of this study was to develop a soccer CCK test for PSTs and to examine the validity and reliability of the test using Rasch measurement modeling. Two content experts developed a test in…

The aim of this study was to develop a valid and reliable basketball common content knowledge (CCK) instrument for preservice teachers (PSTs; BB-CCK-T) in secondary physical education contexts in the United States. The research team used four steps to develop the BB-CCK-T. In the first step, two content experts determined the scope and weight of…

This paper documents the translation and adaptation of the "Career Adapt-Abilities Scale + Cooperation Scale" (CAAS + C; Savickas & Porfeli, 2015) to the Brazilian context and provides initial validity evidence for this instrument by testing its internal structure and exploring its relationships with external variables (i.e., Big…
