Mixed results have been reported on the correlation between clickers and performance. This study investigates the usage of clickers in a voluntary context to answer in-class questions in a General Chemistry class. Scores on an internal chemistry placement exam were used to estimate cognitive ability, as a factor that students can no longer…

Our goal was to systematically identify, appraise and synthesise the qualitative research on parents' experiences of the autism assessment process. The empirical studies were quality appraised using the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme tool. We synthesised the data using a meta-synthesis approach. Parents' experiences were categorised into four…

Problem Statement: The problem addressed in this study was the experience of Latinx women leaders from multiple Southern California state universities who cry, or have been close to crying, about work in front of colleagues or followers. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to understand the experience of Latinx women leaders, who held…

New teachers are often assigned an experienced teacher who will serve as a mentor that will work with them during the first year of their initial teaching certificate. Although this is a common practice among states, not much guidance exists of what this mentoring should include or what strategies are the most effective. This study was designed to…

According to empirical evidence, there are associations between resilience and stress, resilience and emotion regulation, and emotion regulation and stress. However, studies underlying the mechanisms between resilience and stress among teachers are sparse. This study examines the associations between these variables and investigates which emotion…

This study explored the relationship between K-8 teachers' current usage and engagement of curriculum and instructional practices, assessment practices, and feedback practices through the implementation of standards-based grading practices. The theoretical works of Bobbitt (1924), Bloom (1956), and Sadler (1989) framed this study. A digital survey…

Diagnostic classification models (DCMs) are psychometric models that yield probabilistic classifications of respondents according to a set of discrete latent variables. The current study examines the recently introduced one-parameter log-linear cognitive diagnosis model (1-PLCDM), which has increased interpretability compared with general DCMs due…

Diagnostic classification models (DCMs) have grown in popularity as stakeholders increasingly desire actionable information related to students' skill competencies. Longitudinal DCMs offer a psychometric framework for providing estimates of students' proficiency status transitions over time. For both cross-sectional and longitudinal DCMs, it is…

The investigation delves into examining the influence of 2-parameter logistic (PL) and 3-parameter logistic models on the ability estimates of students in mathematical binary items. It ascertained the parameters of the items in the 2-PL and 3-PL models. We employed Item Response Theory (IRT) in the design of this research survey, with a sample…

We conducted an extensive Monte Carlo study of factor-rotation local solutions (LS) in multidimensional, two-parameter logistic (M2PL) item response models. In this study, we simulated more than 19,200 data sets that were drawn from 96 model conditions and performed more than 7.6 million rotations to examine the influence of (a) slope parameter…

Self-monitoring is essential for effectively regulating learning, but difficult in visual diagnostic tasks such as radiograph interpretation. Eye-tracking technology can visualize viewing behavior in gaze displays, thereby providing information about visual search and decision-making. We hypothesized that individually adaptive gaze-display…

The COVID-19 pandemic may have exacerbated depression, anxiety, and executive function (EF) difficulties in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). EF skills have been positively associated with mental health outcomes. Here, we probed the psychosocial impacts of pandemic responses in children with and without ASD by relating pre-pandemic EF…

Despite the increasing implementation of formative assessment in medical education, its' effect on learning behaviour remains questionable. This effect may depend on how students value formative, and summative assessments differently. Informed by Expectancy Value Theory, we compared test preparation, feedback use, and test-taking motivation of…

Background: Flying accuracy is influenced by pilots' affective reactions to task demands. A better understanding of task-related emotions and flying performance is needed to enhance pilot training. Objective: Understand pilot trainees' performance and emotional dynamics (intensity, frequency and variability) based on training phase and difficulty…

Emotion regulation strategies can enhance teachers' well-being and performance by enabling them to cope with the challenges and stressors of teaching. Personality traits, however, may affect teachers' vulnerability to depression and their capacity to regulate their emotions. To investigate how emotion regulation strategies mediated the…
