A test of item compromise is presented which combines the test takers' responses and response times (RTs) into a statistic defined as the number of correct responses on the item for test takers with RTs flagged as suspicious. The test has null and alternative distributions belonging to the well-known family of compound binomial distributions, is…

When it comes to generating better practices, feedback--a fair representation of professional performance--plays a crucial role due to its transformational power of enhancing skills, which helps ensure high-quality teaching in the classroom. However, principals' lack of time, lack of knowledge of curriculum content, and lack of training are the…

Academic mobility has been predominantly investigated as a resource for career development and progression of individuals or as a contributor to national economic growth and advancement (brain-drain/gain). Yet, despite its significance, the temporal dimensions of academic immobility/mobility remain undertheorized in academic mobility studies. By…

District systems supporting the school-level implementation of Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS), a multi-tiered framework organizing the delivery of a continuum of evidence-based practices promoting positive student social, emotional, and behavioral outcomes, are critical to its success. While literature recognizes the…

This study used PIAAC process data to examine time-related allocation patterns (time for the first action, total time, last action) of low-skilled, relative to higher-skilled, adults on digital literacy items. Results suggest that less-skilled (Level 2) and higher skilled adults (Levels 3-5) exhibited similar time allocation patterns; however,…

This study aimed to explore the technology usage of off-campus undergraduate students for library social media engagement. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 245 off-campus university students at Adeleke University. Data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics and chi-square…

People, the author holds, instinctively believe quitting a game to be a simple choice: you are either playing or you are not. But she finds quitting play more complex. To understand better the whole ecosystem of play, she maps out the reasons Finnish players abandon or reduce their gaming and examines these reasons through the lens of specific…

The Q-diffusion model is a cognitive process model that considers decision making as an unobservable information accumulation process. Both item and person parameters decide the trace line of the cognitive process, which further decides observed response and response time. Because the likelihood function for the Q-diffusion model is intractable,…

The purpose of this quantitative associative correlational study was to examine to what extent there is an associative relationship for high school teacher attitudes toward professional development and time for classroom preparation, as measured by the Teaching and Learning Conditions of Colorado survey, and overall rural high school performance.…

This paper examines changes from 1996-2019 in U.S. parents' time investment at their children's schools using data from the National Household Education Survey (N [approximately equal to] 116,000). The most common way parents spend time at their child's school is by attending a general school meeting, which rose from 76% to 85% over this period.…

Preventing panel members from attriting is a fundamental challenge for panel surveys. Research has shown that response behavior in earlier waves (response or nonresponse) is a good predictor of panelists' response behavior in upcoming waves. However, response behavior can be described in greater detail by considering the time until the response is…

Online learning with the characteristics of flexibility and autonomy has become a widespread and popular mode of higher education in which students need to engage in self-regulated learning (SRL) to achieve success. The purpose of this study is to utilize clickstream data to reveal the time management of SRL. This study adopts learning analytics…

The current era of (e-)learning invests heavily on Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). Various dedicated MOOC platforms are used, such as Coursera, Udacity, and Open edX. Moodle, one of the most popular open-source Learning Management Systems (LMS), has been also used for MOOC implementations. Usability and user experience (UX) are very important…

A modified, bilingual Attitudes Toward Mathematics Inventory (ATMI) instrument was administered to 1,258 high school students in South Texas in an NSF-funded project on informal learning of mathematics and near peer mentoring. We explore students' survey response behaviors and examine the existence of careless and insufficient effort (CIE)…

We replicated and extended Maurer and Shipp's (2021) intervention to teach students the successive relearning study strategy and encourage its use in preparation for course exams. This mixed-methods project was conducted in partnership between the faculty member teaching the course and an undergraduate student enrolled in the course. Results were…
