Schoeffel, Pablo; Ramos, Vinicius F. C.; Cechinel, Cristian; Wazlawick, Raul Sidnei – Informatics in Education, 2022
This paper proposes and validates a short and simple Expectancy-Value-Cost scale, called EVC Light. The scale measures the motivation of students in computing courses, allowing the easy and weekly application across a course. One of the factors related directly to the high rate of failure and dropout in computing courses is student motivation.…

Maartensson, Hanna; Loi, Natasha M. – Environmental Education Research, 2022
Climate change is a global issue affecting individuals, industries, and economies around the world. Many individuals know the risks of climate change and are willing to change their behaviour, but still contribute to high levels of greenhouse gas emissions. This discrepancy between willingness and action has been described as the…

Akhtar, Hanif – International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2022
When examinees perceive a test as low stakes, it is logical to assume that some of them will not put out their maximum effort. This condition makes the validity of the test results more complicated. Although many studies have investigated motivational fluctuation across tests during a testing session, only a small number of studies have…

Schmid, Kelly M.; Lee, Dennis; Weindling, Monica; Syed, Awais; Agyemang, Stephanie-Louise Yacoba; Donovan, Brian; Radick, Gregory; Smith, Michelle K. – Journal of Microbiology & Biology Education, 2022
Undergraduate genetics courses have historically focused on simple genetic models, rather than taking a more multifactorial approach where students explore how traits are influenced by a combination of genes, the environment, and gene-by-environment interactions. While a focus on simple genetic models can provide straightforward examples to…

Zijlmans, Eva A. O.; Tijmstra, Jesper; van der Ark, L. Andries; Sijtsma, Klaas – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2018
Reliability is usually estimated for a total score, but it can also be estimated for item scores. Item-score reliability can be useful to assess the repeatability of an individual item score in a group. Three methods to estimate item-score reliability are discussed, known as method MS, method [lambda][subscript 6], and method CA. The item-score…

Lu, Ru; Guo, Hongwen; Dorans, Neil J. – ETS Research Report Series, 2021
Two families of analysis methods can be used for differential item functioning (DIF) analysis. One family is DIF analysis based on observed scores, such as the Mantel-Haenszel (MH) and the standardized proportion-correct metric for DIF procedures; the other is analysis based on latent ability, in which the statistic is a measure of departure from…

Sheng, Yanyan – Measurement: Interdisciplinary Research and Perspectives, 2019
Classical approach to test theory has been the foundation for educational and psychological measurement for over 90 years. This approach concerns with measurement error and hence test reliability, which in part relies on individual test items. The CTT package, developed in light of this, provides functions for test- and item-level analyses of…
