This study evaluates the predictive validity of Texas's course-based College, Career, and Military Readiness (CCMR) indicators by examining how different pathways relate to postsecondary outcomes. While the state's accountability system treats college prep and dual credit pathways as equivalent signals of readiness, this analysis shows that they…

The development of generative artificial intelligence (AI) has started a conversation on its possible uses and inherent difficulties in the field of education. It becomes essential to understand the perceptions of pre-service teachers about the integration of this technology into teaching practices as AI models including ChatGPT, Claude, and…

Evaluating students' cognitive understanding of core concepts and identifying learning path aligned with their cognitive developmental patterns are critical for enhancing conceptual mastery in chemistry. This study employed the Rule Space Model to investigate students' cognitive characteristics and learning path in comprehending the conceptual…

Assessing preservice teachers' inclusive classroom management self-efficacy (ICMSE) is critical for effectively implementing classroom management practices. Although the literature provides well-established instruments, many do not cover all domains of ICMSE. Above all, there is a notable absence of instruments assessing this multidimensional…

Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) models have led to many positive changes in educational settings; however, the validity of the content they produce remains a significant topic of academic discussion. This research aims to determine the validity of content produced by text-to-image models within the context of social studies education.…

Background/purpose: This research aims to explore each component of the cognitive autonomy of Indonesian students, who are mostly 17 to 20-year-olds. Materials/methods: Quantitative method with survey types was used in this research. The research sample consisted of 100 first-semester students at the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education,…

Mathematical proof, often regarded as the heart of mathematics, is essential for interconnected mathematical knowledge. However, proof-writing skills do not develop inherently. Effective learning environments are vital for university students to enhance these skills. This study investigates the impact of the ISMAT model on pre-service teachers'…

This study aims to examine the mathematical reasoning and proof processes of gifted students within the framework of Toulmin's Argumentation Model. Grounded in the Rich Teaching Model, the instructional design included seven differentiated lesson plans. The research was conducted with two 9th-grade students in a Science and Art Centre over 20…

Autistic individuals are at greater risk of social rejection than non-autistic peers. On social media, adults with autism report an extreme sensitivity to social rejection. This qualitative study explored lived experiences of heightened rejection sensitivity in this population. Purposive sampling through social media was used to recruit 19…

Anxiety is one of the most prevalent mental health challenges in autistic children, yet there is limited evidence on effective tools to measure treatment outcomes. Previous research with non-autistic children has found that the Child Anxiety Impact Scale, Parent Version achieved good diagnostic accuracy when measuring treatment outcomes and…

Measures of autistic traits are only useful -- for pre-diagnostic screening, exploring individual differences, and gaining personal insight -- if they efficiently and accurately assess autism as currently conceptualised while maintaining psychometric validity across different demographic groups. We recruited 1322 autistic and 1279 non-autistic…

To ensure full participation of people with disabilities in research, accessibility of the instruments employed is essential. This paper describes an exploratory research which included the adaptation of the AIR Self-Determination Scale and the Promotion of Autonomous Decision-Making Scale. The adaptation was designed to enable Hebrew-speaking…

Background/purpose: Peer attachment refers to the quality of adolescents' relationships with peers and plays a critical role in social adjustment and engagement in learning within school environments. Despite its importance, a standardized instrument for measuring this construct has not been available in the Indonesian educational context.…

The aim of this study is to adapt the Statistics Anxiety Scale (SAS) developed by Vigil-Colet et al. (2008) to Turkish. This study is expected to fill an important gap in the literature since no valid and reliable specific statistics anxiety scale developed or adapted in Turkish for undergraduate students in the literature is available. The sample…

Educators use universal screening to identify students who may be at risk for not meeting proficiency on the state assessment. Given the potential high-stakes of state tests, using accurate screeners is critical. Independent research is emerging on screeners such as the Measures of Academic Progress (MAP), a computer adaptive test, and the…
