We present three new standardised network concept map (CM) measures that can provide unique information about learning-related progress, which cannot be determined from previously known measures. Grounded in cognitive development theory on the one hand, and network theory on the other hand, our measures reveal how knowledge is stored, distributed…

Objective: To evaluate the measurement structure of the "Job Satisfaction of Persons with Disabilities Scale" (JSPDS) in a sample of employed U.S. Americans with disabilities. Design: A quantitative descriptive design using exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and correlational analysis. Participants: Two hundred and fifty-nine individuals…

The purpose of this replication study is to establish external validity of the ADSI-S. A convenience sample (n = 114) tested the validity of the ADSI-S with a population aged 18-20 years. Consistency reliability analysis was conducted, correlations were run to determine known-instrument con- struct validity and a logistic regression examined the…

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)…

Self-report is required to assess mental states in nuanced ways. By implication, self-report is indispensable to capture the psychological processes driving human learning, such as learners' emotions, motivation, strategy use, and metacognition. As shown in the contributions to this special issue, self-report related to learning shows convergent…

Self-assessment is a fundamental skill for professionals because self-assessment can promote self-regulated learning and professional development. However, studies reporting the use of self-assessment instruments in the professional training context are scarce. This study aimed to re-evaluate the psychometric properties of the Self-assessment…

Our research centered on developing the Conservation Science and Technology Identity (CSTI) instruments as an empirical way to measure STEM identities and the intersection of identity constructs such as competence, performance, recognition, and ways of seeing and being. The surveys were used in a large funded multi-year project for teens and…

The present study focuses on studying the psychometric properties of Ethical Climate Questionnaire (ECQ) in Saudi educational milieu. It is a cross-sectional study and the data was collected from 309 educational supervisors from six educational offices of General Department of Education in Jeddah. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was carried out…

This article presents the adaptation of the MacArthur Communicative Development Inventory (CDI; Fenson et al., 1993, "Guide and technical manual for the MacArthur Communicative Development Inventories." San Diego, CA: Singular Press; Fenson et al. 1994, Variability in early communicative development. "Monographs of the Society for…

Anxiety is a prevalent and impairing co-morbidity among individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), yet assessment measures, including screening tools, are seldom validated with autism samples. We explored the psychometric properties of the child and parent reports of the Spence Children's Anxiety Scale (SCAS) and the Screen for Anxiety…

Validity and reliability are a major focus in teacher education accreditation by the Council for Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP). CAEP requires the use of "accepted research standards," but many faculty and administrators are unsure how to meet this requirement. The Standards of Educational and Psychological Testing…

Answering the call for response process-based validation, this study shows how researchers can evaluate validity evidence of test scores based on the mental "processes" test-takers use, rather than based on correlations with other "outcome" measures. The proposed methods for process-based validation studies are demonstrated…

Creativity has been well studied in the past several decades, and numerous measures have been developed to assess creativity. However, validity evidence associated with each measure is often mixed. In particular, the social consequence aspect of validity has received little attention. This is partly due to the difficulty of testing for…

This study was conducted to examine the adaptation of the Child Developmental Assessment Scale (CDAS) to Turkish and the developmental evaluations of 5-year-old children in terms of several variables. A survey model was used in the study. The study group of this research is composed of children aged 5-year-old who Attend independent public…

We carried out a psychometric assessment of the Social Communication Questionnaire (SCQ) and the Social Responsiveness Scale (SRS-2) in fragile X syndrome (FXS), relative to clinician DSM5-based diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in FXS. This was followed by instrument revisions that included: removal of non-discriminating and/or low face…
