Test administrators are appropriately concerned about the potential for time constraints to impact the validity of score interpretations; psychometric efforts to evaluate the impact of speededness date back more than half a century. The widespread move to computerized test delivery has led to the development of new approaches to evaluating how…

Instructors often write feedback on students' proofs even if there is no expectation for the students to revise and resubmit the work. It is not known, however, what students do with that feedback or if they understand the professor's intentions. To this end, we asked eight advanced mathematics undergraduates to respond to professor comments on…

Standardized achievement testing of children began in the United States in the 1960s. Since then, the data produced from such tests has been extrapolated to measure schools, teachers, and principals. Today, testing and its corollaries consume much of the time and energy of teachers and students. Miriam Cohen's (2006/1980) "First Grade Takes a…

Facilitated communication (FC) has been interpreted as an ideomotor phenomenon, in which one person physically supports another person's hand and unconsciously affects the content of the writing. Despite the strong experimental evidence against the authenticity of FC output, several studies claim to support its validity based on idiosyncrasies…

This study investigates students' development of metamathematical understanding of axioms. Based on four semesters of experiments teaching neutral, axiomatic geometry, often through guided reinvention, I identify five categories of student interpretations of their axiomatizing activity. Similar to previously observed patterns in student…

This paper investigated the university lecturers' perceived usefulness, ease of use and adequacy of use mobile technologies for research collaboration in South-west, Nigeria. Lecturers in the public universities in the South-west, Nigeria were purposively sampled. The study was descriptive type using survey method. 4 research questions were raised…

This report investigates whether the time between scoring sessions has an influence on operational and nonoperational scoring accuracy. The study evaluates raters' scoring accuracy on constructed-response essay responses for the "GRE"® General Test. Binomial linear mixed-effect models are presented that evaluate how the effect of various…

The focus of this article is Faroese children's early vocabulary acquisition using a Faroese adaptation of the MacArthur-Bates Communicative Development Inventories (MBCDI) parental report. The study is a population-based cross-sectional study including 1135 children aged 8-36 months. The article has two objectives: the first is to describe the…

A critical component of any school-based prevention program is early identification of student risk as reported by Lane et al. (Remedial and Special Education 32:39-54, 2011). While screening for academic risk has grown in the last decade, screening for behavioral risk has remained stagnant. Few schools systematically screen for behavioral and…

The aim of this research was to find out the impact of emotional intelligence to the social adjustment ability of the primary students in Muhammadiyah Karangwaru Yogyakarta Elementary School. The population involved in this research is all of the 5th grade students of Muhammadiyah Karangwaru Yogyakarta, who are 80 students. The sampling technique…

Background: This study investigated the psychometric properties of the recently developed Qiyas for L1 Arabic language test using a Rasch measurement framework. Methods: Responses from 271 examinees were analyzed in this study. The test is hypothesized to involve one dominant factor that assesses four skills: reading comprehension, rhetorical…

This work is aimed at finding out the effect of the implementation of the metacognitive learning strategy on the quality of prospective chemistry teacher's scientific explanations. This study used a quasi-experimental method with a pretest -- post-test control group design. The participants of this research were the students of two classes of…

In this paper, we propose an enriched and extended application of Harel and Sowder's proof schemes taxonomy that can be used as a diagnostic tool for characterizing secondary students' emergent learning of proof and proving. We illustrate this application in the analysis of data collected from 85 Year 9 (age 14-15) secondary students. We capture…

All 50 states use observations to evaluate practicing teachers, but we know little about how administrators actually reason when they use those observation protocols. Drawing on think-aloud and stimulated recall data, this study describes the types of strategies and warrants practicing administrators used when rating with their district's…

In this research it is aimed to develop an instrument that could be used to measure university students' satisfaction with foreign language lessons in a valid and reliable manner. The research was conducted on three separate study groups consisting of 460 students in the spring semester of the 2017-2018 academic year. In the research, firstly, an…
