This article deals with the problem of increasing the efficiency in motor learning with the help of video analysis. The text approaches the system providing a feedback in the process of downhill skiing skills acquisition. The platform influencing the movement notion introduces innovative means of the acquisition of essential downhill skiing skills…

Formative instructional practices (FIP) are the formal and informal ways that teachers and students gather and respond to evidence of student learning. Although they might have been practicing formative instruction on a daily basis, many teachers rarely thought about how formative instructional practice features were already a part of their work.…

The main purpose of this study is to develop a perceived stress scale based on Classical Test Theory (CTT) and Graded Response Model (GRM); to compare the parameters of the items in the scale that are tried to be developed according to both models, and to determine under which theory the measurement tool produces more reliable and valid results…

A considerable scholarship now describes the increasing neoliberalization of universities and the accompanying impacts on academic research and researchers. However, less attention has been devoted to issues of research project leadership, especially for academics with feminist commitments. This article reports results of a qualitative study of 12…

Positive mental health is more than the absence of psychological symptoms. Considerable research has focused on positive indicators of strengths, including emotional strengths such as gratitude, life satisfaction, and hope. These three constructs, which have been referred to as the "triad of positive emotions"represent emotional…

This study investigates the impact of different modes and tailor-made response enhancing measures (TMREM)--such as bilingual interviewers with a shared ethnic background and translated questionnaires--on the measurement of substantive variables in surveys among minority ethnic groups in the Netherlands. It also provides insight into the ability to…

Both assessment and feedback have a vital impact on students' learning. Using computer-based assessment (CBA) with constructive and prompt computer-based feedback (CBF) reduces the attainment gap of the new generation of digital students. Action research methodology was employed to explore students' view of utilising CBA and/or CBF in teaching and…

A key challenge for feedback practice involves promoting student uptake through the closing of feedback loops. This paper investigates feedback loops by using the concepts of single and double-loop learning to interrogate student responses to feedback. Single-loop learning tackles an identified problem or task, whereas double-loop learning…

Purpose: This study aims to investigate the orthogonality assumption, which restricts the use of Bifactor item response theory under different conditions. Method: Data of the study have been obtained in accordance with the Bifactor model. It has been produced in accordance with two different models (Model 1 and Model 2) in a simulated way.…

This paper builds on an earlier study that developed a 10 question framework for improving the quality of criteria sheets (also known as rubrics) used in Master of Education programmes. To test that framework 15 rubrics were independently evaluated by seven teachers using the above mentioned framework. Raw data from the evaluations were collated…

Feedback influences students' achievement more than almost any other factor. As obvious as this may be from a research standpoint, there is still no consensus among practitioners about the importance of one very powerful form of feedback--from students to teachers.

With the Expert Examination System developed within the scope of this study, questions can be prepared in accordance with the measurement and evaluation criteria in education, which helps measure the students' actual knowledge levels effectively. It is possible to create exam forms by using these questions. The developed Special Examination System…

Sample attrition increases the risk of statistical bias and hinders the ability to plausibly estimate causal effects when patterns of nonresponse are correlated with key variables of interest. Drawing on leverage-salience theory and other work in the behavioral psychology field, we empirically capture the impact of distinct motivational appeals on…

In order to better understand which factors play a role in non-adaptive social behavior in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) we looked into physiological arousal and awareness of one's own emotions. Heart rate (HR) and heart rate variability (HRV) were measured during a public speaking task in 51 young adults with ASD and 28 typically developing (TD)…

Conventional wisdom has frequently portrayed the positive influence behind customer loyalty. After all, customer loyalty represents a customer's intention to continue buying from a firm. However, extant literature has recognized the existence of two types of customer loyalty: loyalty to the selling firm and loyalty to the salesperson. We explored…
