Guéraud, Sabine; Walsh, Erinn K.; Cook, Anne E.; O'Brien, Edward J. – Journal of Research in Reading, 2018
Previous studies demonstrated that outdated information may be reactivated and disrupt subsequent processing of newly encoded information. However, previous studies focused on the impact of outdated information that had been backgrounded in memory. The present experiments examined the immediate influence of outdated information; backgrounding…

Clifford, Jantina; Chen, Ching-I.; Xie, Huichao; Chen, Chieh-Yu; Murphy, Kimberly; Ascetta, Kate; Frantz, Rebecca; Hansen, Sarah – Infants and Young Children, 2018
Although many children live in healthy, supportive environments, far too many are exposed to or experience biological and/or psychosocial risk factors (e.g., infectious diseases, maternal depression). To evaluate the effectiveness of early childhood programs that are established to support these vulnerable children, funding agencies and…

Bernstein, Jeffrey L. – Teaching & Learning Inquiry, 2018
A broad consensus exists that the use of appropriate methods are important in the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning. However, methodological controversies arise around what constitutes acceptable evidence, if one needs a control group, how generalizable results must be, and other similar issues. Much SoTL work, I argue, asks questions about how…

Dolin, Jens; Black, Paul; Harlen, Wynne; Tiberghien, Andrée – Contributions from Science Education Research, 2018
This chapter characterises the two key purposes of assessment, formative and summative, within a general model of assessment of student learning. It discusses reliability and validity issues in relation to the two purposes and considers formative and summative purposes as related and can be brought together in developing a dependable approach to…

Heyne, David A.; Vreeke, Leonie J.; Maric, Marija; Boelens, Harrie; Van Widenfelt, Brigit M. – Journal of Emotional and Behavioral Disorders, 2017
The "School Refusal Assessment Scale" (SRAS) was developed to identify four factors that might maintain a youth's school attendance problem (SAP), and thus be targeted for treatment. There is still limited support for the four-factor model inherent to the SRAS and its revision (SRAS-R). Recent studies indicate problems with the wording…

Background: Picture-naming tests (PNTs) evaluate linguistic impairment in dementia due to semantic memory impairment, impaired lexical retrieval or perceptual deficits. They also assess the decline in naming impairment at various stages of dementia and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) that occurs due to progressive cognitive impairment. With the…

Teimouri, Yasser; Papi, Mostafa; Tahmouresi, Somayeh – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2022
In two studies, we examined two functional dimensions of L2 learners' self-regulation toward their motivational goals: assessment and locomotion. The assessment constitutes the aspect of self-regulation concerned with critically evaluating the relative quality of L2 states and goals and the means to achieve them. The locomotion mode constitutes…

Cho, Kit W. – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2022
Many students experience math anxiety, which can negatively affect their academic achievement and even their career choices. One of the most commonly used methods to assess math anxiety is the Abbreviated Math Anxiety Scale (AMAS). Despite the ubiquity of this measure, there is a lack of studies assessing its validity. Moreover, almost all studies…

Mapuya, Medson; Rambuda, Awelani Melvin – International Journal of Higher Education, 2022
Premised on the theoretical assumptions of social constructivism and multiple intelligences, the purpose of this study was to investigate teaching approaches which are compatible with the learning styles of first-year accounting student teachers from both theoretical and phenomenological perspectives. Being a predominantly conceptual study in…

Esmergül, Pelin; Önder, Vahide Bahar – Turkish Online Journal of Educational Technology - TOJET, 2022
Musical perception is a fundamental of music teaching. Even if it's considered as a field concerning institutions providing vocational musical education, it takes a part in every person's life even consciously or unconsciously. Issue of choosing or determining individuals who has the talent on music is mostly faced at aptitude tests. Musical…

Maïano, Christophe; Morin, Alexandre J. S.; April, Johanne; Webster, E. Kipling; Hue, Olivier; Dugas, Claude; Ulrich, Dale – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2022
The objective was to assess the psychometric properties of a French-Canadian version of the third edition of the Test of Gross Motor Development (TGMD-3). Participants were 127 French-speaking Canadian children. Results supported the validity-reliability of a bifactor exploratory structural equation modeling representation of the TGMD-3.…
