Cognitive and metacognitive processes during learning depend on accurate monitoring, this investigation examines the influence of immediate item-level knowledge of correct response feedback on cognition monitoring accuracy. In an optional end-of-course computer-based review lesson, participants (n = 68) were randomly assigned to groups to receive…

In this study, we examined the psychometric properties of the Cyberbullying Inventory (CBI) for University Students. There were 635 Turkish university students (57.48% females) in the pilot data set. The results showed that the pilot data set confirmed the proposed factor structure for CBI for University Students with some modifications. The final…

Background: Assessment of age-associated disorders has become increasingly important. Methods: In a clinical setting, people with intellectual disability with and without dementia were assessed retrospectively using the Neuropsychological Test Battery (NTB) and the Dementia Questionnaire for People with Learning Disabilities (DLD) at two different…

Originality is scored based on standard zero-originality lists (ZOLs) in the Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking (TTCT). The applicability of those ZOLs to diverse groups has not been examined. We examined the consistency of TTCT-Figural's sample-based (SB) ZOLs and the published ZOLs based on a sample of predominantly African American college…

The reciprocal nature of spoken interaction means that participants constantly alternate between speaker and listener roles. However, listener or recipient actions--also known as interactive listening (IL)--are somewhat underrepresented in language tests. In conventional listening tests, they are not directly assessed. In speaking tests, they have…

Background: The Work Support Profile (WSP) is a brief assessment instrument that enables staff supporting adults with disabilities to provide calibrated and individualized support for specific work tasks. This paper sought to examine the psychometric properties of WSP for people with disabilities. Method: A pilot study was conducted with 239…

This study serves two purposes. The first purpose is the development and validation of a Mathematics Teachers' Beliefs Scale (MTBS). In addition to providing a valid and reliable MTBS instrument, this study provides information on the process of developing and validating the instrument, which shall be useful for the development and validation of…

A disconnect exists between the way teacher candidates learn to address the needs of students during teacher training-coursework and the actual teaching expectations in a subject/grade level where students take a standardized exam. Using phenomenological research this study examined novice teachers' perceptions about developing their instruction…

Quizzing can be beneficial as a tool for learning and practice instead of its traditional use as an assessment. Specifically, the use of low stakes quizzing (LSQ) can aid in: (1) retention; (2) subsequent learning; (3) corrective feedback; (4) improved metacognition; and (5) study habits. Best practices for utilizing quizzes are discussed,…

Pennsylvania schools are under pressure to meet academic growth and achievement standards set forth by the Commonwealth. Due to these high-stakes, schools are always looking for ways to improve academics to not only meet the needs of students, but also the expectations put forth at the state level. The proposed research study examined if a…

For more than two decades, there has been an increased emphasis on improving academic outcomes for K-12 students across Florida. Such emphasis has resulted in state reform efforts to enhance student academic performance and school accountability. High-stakes testing has been selected as one means for assessing student outcomes and measuring school…

Background/Purpose: Over two decades of research has demonstrated that collective teacher efficacy has a significant effect on student learning, and numerous studies have explored environmental variables related to high levels of collective teacher efficacy (Donohoo, 2018, Donohoo et al., 2020; Eells, 2011; Hattie, 2016). Donohoo et al.'s (2020)…

The Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) has instigated educational changes and reforms globally, in particular, introducing and intensifying neoliberal logic and governance in test-taking countries and beyond. PISA outcome impacted upon the educational governance of South Korea as well, however, the changes deviated from what…

Objective: We considered the utility of National College Health Assessment (NCHA) data relative to other national data for studying college students' cannabis use and binge drinking, and drug policy effects. Participants: Survey data on 18-22-year old college students were drawn from the 2008-2018 NCHA, National Survey on Drug Use and Health…

One of the central components of cognitive diagnostic assessment is the Q-matrix, which is an essential loading indicator matrix and is typically constructed by subject matter experts. Nonetheless, to a large extent, the construction of Q-matrix remains a subjective process and might lead to misspecifications. Many researchers have recognized the…
