The purpose of this article is to document the development of a new measure of teaching self-efficacy -- "The College Teaching Self-Efficacy (CTSE) Scale." We designed the CTSE scale to examine individuals' beliefs in their abilities to perform specific teaching tasks in a college classroom successfully. We developed an instrument that…

This study aims to develop a valid and reliable measurement instrument to identify university students' attitudes towards flipped learning model. The research sample was composed of 487 pre-service teachers who attended a university. Relevant literature was reviewed a pool of items was formed and content and construct validity analyses as well as…

This study describes the cross-cultural adaptation to Brazilian Portuguese of the Adaptive Behavior Assessment System (ABAS-3), which assesses 11 skills areas within three major adaptive domains: the conceptual, social, and practical. The translation was performed by two independent translators, which was followed by the synthesis of the…

Large introductory classes, with their expansive curriculum, demand assessment strategies that blend efficiency with reliability, prompting the consideration of multiple-choice (MC) tests as a viable option. Crafting a high-quality MC test, however, necessitates a meticulous process involving reflection on assessment format appropriateness, test…

Previous research reveals that the visual design of open-ended questions should match the response task so that respondents can infer the expected response format. Based on a web survey including specific probes in a list-style open-ended question format, we experimentally tested the effects of varying numbers of answer boxes on several indicators…

The Teacher Efficacy for Inclusive Practices (TEIP) scale is a widely used instrument for assessing teachers' effectiveness in implementing inclusive practices. The TEIP has not been validated in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BIH). The goal of the present study was to conduct a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) of the TEIP in a sample of teachers in…

Understanding test-taking strategies (TTSs) and the variables that influence TTSs is crucial to understanding what reading comprehension tests measure. We examined how passage and student characteristics were associated with TTSs and their impact on response accuracy. Third (n = 78), fifth (n = 86), and eighth (n = 86) graders read and answered…

Many undergraduate chemistry students hold alternate conceptions related to resonance--an important and fundamental topic of organic chemistry. To help address these alternate conceptions, an organic chemistry instructor could administer the resonance concept inventory (RCI), which is a multiple-choice assessment that was designed to identify…

Information literacy is a fundamental component in the academic development of future professionals. The aim of the study was to evaluate the metric properties of the 'questionnaire of self-perceived information competences', analyzing the factorial structure, internal consistency, convergent validity, factorial invariance according to gender and…

Sound waves are one of the important topics studied in physics. However, students' graph representation is still low, leading to their low concept understanding of physics learning. Therefore, it is necessary to optimize the learning process to improve students' graph representation by providing a valid and reliable graph representation test…

This technical report describes the entire development process for all mathematics items and tests used in CBMSkills. A brief introduction highlights the purpose of the assessment system, noting their important relationship with easyCBM. Given the items are designed to provide teachers diagnostic information on students' specific skills within…

This study investigated the thematic and lexical characteristics of high-difficulty English reading items--commonly referred to as "killer questions"--in the Korean College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT) between 2018 and 2025. Using text mining methods, including Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) and CEFR-based lexical profiling, the…

This study aimed to develop and validate the Creative Problem-Solving Skills Test (CPSS-T), grounded in Torrance's creativity theory, to assess these skills in university students. The CPSS-T consists of five open-ended question types, each designed to measure different aspects of creative problem-solving: Alternative Use, Hypothetical Scenario,…

This study aims to delve into the process and perceptions of pre-service teachers as they engage in generating multiple-choice questions with the assistance of generative AI tools. Adopting a single-case study design, the research involved the participation of 35 pre-service teachers. The participants were tasked with utilizing generative AI tools…

Although Goodman-Kruskal gamma (G) is used relatively rarely it has promising potential as a coefficient of association in educational settings. Characteristics of G are studied in three sub-studies related to educational measurement settings. G appears to be unexpectedly appealing as an estimator of association between an item and a score because…
