The selection of supervision models from the point of view of practitioners has become overwhelming, especially within the contextual forces of a school or school system. The purpose of this study was to use multidimensional scaling (MDS) to describe four theoretical models of teacher supervision (clinical, artistic, technical, and reflective)…

Markman, Arthur B.; Gentner, Dedre – 1992
Similarity plays a central role in cognitive theories. Research has demonstrated that the similarity of a pair increases with its commonalities and decreases with its differences. These common and distinctive elements can take the form of parts of objects, relations between parts of properties of whole objects. Previous work has been unable to…

Reckase, Mark D.; Hirsch, Thomas M. – 1991
This paper addresses the problem of whether two-dimensional solutions with different apparent meanings and different implied interpretations of the number-correct scale could be produced from the same test data set by simply shifting the orientation of the two-dimensional projection plane. An artificial data set of 3,000 response vectors and a…

Bogan, Evelyn Doody; Yen, Wendy M. – 1983
Four multidimensional data configurations and one unidimensional data configuration were simulated for three differences in mean difficulty between two tests to be equated. Two chi-square statistics, Q1 and Q2, were examined for their ability to detect multidimensionality. Results indicated that Q1 did not discriminate between any of the…

Richards, P. Scott; Davison, Mark L. – 1986
It is widely agreed that counselors' and clients' values influence every phase of psychotherapy. A preliminary appraisal of the usefulness of multidimensional scaling (MDS) for investigating the effects of values on counseling process and outcome was done. MDS was used to investigate how theistic or atheistic values of a counselor, when revealed,…

Reckase, Mark D.; McKinley, Robert L. – 1982
This paper reviews the existing multidimensional item response theory (IRT) models and demonstrates how one of the models can be applied to estimation of abilities from a test measuring more than one dimension. The purposes of this paper were threefold. First, the fundamental concepts required when considering multidimensional models for the…

Benson, Jeri; Zarnegar, Zohreh – 1984
The purpose of the study was to use confirmatory factor analysis techniques to assess the adequacy of previous validity studies related to the structural and theoretical dimensions underlying a measure of self-concept, the Piers Harris Children's Self Concept Scale. Responses from 890 students in grades 3-6 were used as input to the LISREL program…

Gaeddert, William P.; Corigliano, Dolores – 1984
Virtually all previous research on the types of tasks that people attempt to accomplish has focused on deductively derived task typologies. This approach has resulted in fruitful research, but has restricted the range of activities considered to be accomplishments. The current study was designed to provide a formal, inductive description of the…

Hill, Michael; Rodgers, Joseph – 1985
Environmental psychologists are interested in the cognitive processes involved in mental maps. Multidimensional scaling was used to examine the geographic placement of buildings and their perceived attributes by undergraduate and graduate students, and by faculty and staff of a university (N=30). Nine college buildings were selected. Subjects…

Barnett, George A. – 1979
An experiment was conducted to investigate the nature of synonyms by using multidimensional scaling. The selected concept was "pig" and three of its synonyms--"hog,""boar," and "swine." These terms vary in their frequency of use in English, which makes it possible to explore a behaviorally based theory of…

Nutrition curriculum design research was undertaken to address the issue of linkage between school food experiences and home food experiences of elementary school children in Hawaii. One hundred and forty-four parents judged the relative importance of seventeen food-related activites. The sample consisted of Asian, Caucasian, and Polynesian…

Garling, Tommy – 1980
Multidimensional scaling based on similarity ratings was compared with the semantic differential technique (SDT) in a follow-up study. Previous studies had indicated a fairly close agreement between the results of the SDT and multidimensional scaling which the present study partly corroborated in one experiment for color slides of urban/suburban…

Sparling, Joseph J.; And Others – 1977
In a series of three independent studies that focused on the classic sources of curriculum (the learner, society, and subject matter), data were gathered that might bear on the choices facing the curriculum developer. Learner data tentatively revealed what characteristics of pictures affected the deployment of third-grade children's visual…

Johnson, Victor Ogafoe Ibikunle – 1971
A science education process model was proposed for ultimate use in research on science teaching. In this model, classroom interaction was presented as the middle component of a three-phase system. The on-going process of classroom interaction was viewed in terms of a communications model: interaction exchanges provided communications paths through…

This paper reports a factor analytic investigation of the interpersonal attraction construct. Two hundred-fifteen subjects completed 30 Likert-type, 7-step scales concerning an acquaintance. Factor analysis indicated three dimensions of the interpersonal attraction construct which were labeled "task,""social," and "physical." Obtained internal…
