  • Examining the Dimensionality of the Self-Perceptions of Creativity Scale Using Psychometric Network Analysis

    Qianyi Gao, Meihua Qian et al.ARTICLECreativity Research Journal2026

    Creativity has been well studied over the past several decades. However, our understanding regarding the nature of creativity remains limited, partially due to all kinds of methodological challenges that researchers have been facing. For example, the widely used factor-analytic techniques require researchers to make decisions about rotation methods, the number of factors to retain, and the interpretation of factor loadings. As a result, achieving…

  • Opportunity Gap at the Intersection of Language, Disability, and Science

    Open AccessYuliya Ardasheva, Dai et al.ARTICLEScience Education2026

    In response to the limited research on English learners (ELs) with disabilities, we conducted a series of studies focused on their academic achievement across core content areas. This study reports on science achievement of ELs using longitudinal National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) data from 2009 to 2019, in Grades 4 and 8. Comparing patterns in student performance across grades is particularly important in science, where conceptua…

  • Investigating pre-service teachers' culturally responsive, sustaining pedagogy self-efficacy and competencies

    Open AccessEugenie Mainake, Dai et al.ARTICLELearning Culture and Social…2026

    To better serve today's classrooms, we need to understand educators' culturally responsive, sustaining pedagogy (CRSP) beliefs, competencies, and contributing factors. This explanatory sequential mixed-methods study used survey data to explore CRSP self-efficacy and its covariates among 36 preservice teachers (PSTs); qualitative analyses served to examine the CRSP competencies low vs. high self-efficacy participants applied to solving cases from …

  • Item parameter estimations for multidimensional graded response model under complex structures

    Open AccessO J Kehinde, Dai et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Education2022

    Item parameter recovery in the compensatory multidimensional graded response model (MGRM) under simple and complex structures with rating-scale item response data was examined. A simulation study investigated factors that influence the precision of item parameter estimation, including sample size, intercorrelation between the dimensions, and test lengths for the MGRM under balanced and unbalanced complex structures, as well as the simple structur…

  • Performance of Polytomous IRT Models With Rating Scale Data

    Open AccessDai, Thao T Vo et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Education2021

    The implementation of polytomous item response theory (IRT) models such as the graded response model (GRM) and the generalized partial credit model (GPCM) to inform instrument design and validation has been increasing across social and educational contexts where rating scales are usually used. The performance of such models has not been fully investigated and compared across conditions with common survey-specific characteristics such as short tes…

  • Ethnically Diverse Adolescents Recount Third-Party Actions That Amplify Their Anger and Calm Their Emotions After Perceived Victimization

    Open AccessZoe Higheagle Strong, E M Mcmain et al.ARTICLEJournal of Adolescent Research2019Cited by: 2References: 7

    Third-party adolescents (those aware of peer conflict as neither aggressors nor victims) can help shape their peers' emotional responses to perceived victimization. Emotion regulation promotes resilience for those who have been victimized, and heightened anger can exacerbate negative outcomes. This study sought to understand how ethnically diverse victimized adolescents described third-party actions that amplified their anger and calmed their emo…
