FIPC Linking across Multidimensional Test Forms: Effects of Confounding Difficulty within Dimensions
Peer reviewed
Direct linkKim, Sohee; Cole, Ki Lynn; Mwavita, Mwarumba – International Journal of Testing, 2018
This study investigated the effects of linking potentially multidimensional test forms using the fixed item parameter calibration. Forms had equal or unequal total test difficulty with and without confounding difficulty. The mean square errors and bias of estimated item and ability parameters were compared across the various confounding tests. The…

Oxley, Laura – Psychology of Education Review, 2018
Managing behaviour in schools is a key consideration for senior school leaders. It is a topic that often draws attention in the media and is a major cause of stress for teaching staff. The case study reported in this article forms the pilot study for a larger piece of PhD research which includes interviews with senior school leaders from around…

Wileen, Liang; Lam, Toh Tin – Journal of Science and Mathematics Education in Southeast Asia, 2018
Purpose: This paper aimed to present the design of a teaching module on mathematical problem solving for the upper primary mathematics. Method: The module used Pólya's and Schoenfeld's problem solving models as the theoretical framework. The researchers introduced problem-solving processes through specialized mathematics "practical"…

Stuart, Margaret – Global Studies of Childhood, 2018
The newly coined policy of social investment is an economic argument for targeting state investment to the most needy. I use Foucault's notion of biopolitics in a discursive analysis of recent New Zealand policy documents pertaining to a discrete group of 'vulnerable children'. I further argue that the Foucauldian metaphor of state institutions as…

Aveyard, Ben – Psychology of Education Review, 2018
It seems that many parents have concerns about their child's current mental health and more broadly about their development and what kind of potential they have at school and beyond. In Neil Humphrey's article, "Are the Kids Alright? Examining the Intersection between Education and Mental Health," Humphrey offers some promising points of…

Kizilcik, Hasan Sahin; Tan, Mustafa – Asia-Pacific Forum on Science Learning and Teaching, 2018
The purpose of this study is to examine the process of conceptual change in which the heat concept has gone through in time and provide an analytical assessment. To this end, problem-based learning groups were formed with 13 sophomore university students. One of these students was selected and interviewed. The interviews were examined using the…

Bartholomew, Scott R.; Ruesch, Emily Yoshikawa – Technology and Engineering Teacher, 2018
Research has shown that once a potential solution to a problem has settled into one's mind, it can be difficult to break from the original idea and move in a different direction (Cardoso & BadkeSchaub, 2009; Jansson & Smith, 1991). When designers are given examples (whether as models, photographs, sketches, or drawings), they often fixate…

Follows, Mike – Physics Education, 2018
The 1969 version of "The Italian Job" is used as context for teaching turning forces and introducing or enhancing the understanding of equilibrium and Newton's Third Law of Motion. A Harrington Legionnaire coach is used as the getaway vehicle for a gold heist and the film ends on a genuine cliffhanger, with the rear half of the coach…

Fanti, Kostas A.; Kyranides, Melina N.; Petridou, Maria; Demetriou, Chara A.; Georgiou, Giorgos – Developmental Psychology, 2018
Evidence from physiological studies has been integral in many causal theories of behavioral and emotional problems. However, this evidence is hampered by the heterogeneity characterizing these problems. The current study adds to prior work by identifying neuro-physiological markers associated with heterogeneity in conduct problems (CP),…

McKernan, Charlotte J.; Lucas-Thompson, Rachel G. – Developmental Psychology, 2018
Although negative interparental conflict predicts elevated externalizing problems for children, there are individual differences in this association. Theoretically, children's abilities to coordinate physiological stress across response systems moderate the effects of interparental conflict on developmental outcomes. Past cross-sectional research…

Phillips, Anna McLean; Watkins, Jessica; Hammer, David – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2018
The Next Generation Science Standards states that "science begins with a question." (NGSS Lead States [2013] "Next generation science standards: For states, by states". Washington, DC: National Academies Press). Yet scientific inquiry among students and scientists alike often begins without a clear question. In this article, we…

H.; Pasco, Greg; Pickles, Andrew; Tucker, Leslie; Volein, Agnes – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2018
Cognitive and adaptive behaviour abilities early in life provide important clinical prognostic information. We examined stability of such skills in children at high familial risk for ASD who either met diagnostic criteria for ASD at age 7 years (HR-ASD, n = 15) or did not (HR-non-ASD, n = 24) and low-risk control children (LR, n = 37),…

Children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D) spend a significant portion of their day at school. It is therefore important that schools provide a safe and flexible environment for disease management and psychosocial support. Little is known of the school experiences of children and adolescents with T1D in Western Australia. The aim of this…
