Empowering agency through learner-orchestrated self-generated feedback
Recent scholarship emphasises the capacity to self-generate feedback to develop learner agency and avoid bottlenecks as students wait for feedback. Technology can help by mediating access to various level-appropriate resources such as peers’ work-in-progress, uptake strategies and teacher feedback. These can be used as ‘comparators’ for self-generated feedback. This cumulative longitudinal study investigated learner orchestration of self-generate…
Supporting the uptake process with dialogic peer screencast feedback
Screencast feedback has advantages over written feedback for supporting engagement and enactment, yet the potential of peer screencast feedback remains underexplored. This study took a small-scale (N = 8), in-depth, triangulated, qualitative approach to addressing this gap, adopting a socio-material lens to investigate the use of dialogic peer screencast feedback over an emergency remote semester. Screencast peer feedback was found to enhance dep…
Enabling feedback seeking, agency and uptake through dialogic screencast feedback
Screencast feedback is higher in quantity, explicit and engaging and may better enable uptake compared to written feedback. However, most studies deploy screencast feedback as ‘transmission’ of feedback comments, positioning learners as passive and neglecting the importance of agency and action within the uptake process. This study attempts to overcome this limitation by conceptually positioning and deploying screencast feedback in a way that sup…
Uncoupling Molecular Testing for Sars-CoV-2 From International Supply Chains
The rapid global rise of COVID-19 from late 2019 caught major manufacturers of RT-qPCR reagents by surprise and threw into sharp focus the heavy reliance of molecular diagnostic providers on a handful of reagent suppliers. In addition, lockdown and transport bans, necessarily imposed to contain disease spread, put pressure on global supply lines with freight volumes severely restricted. These issues were acutely felt in New Zealand, an island nat…
Making peer feedback work
In recent years, academic and practitioner attention to improving attainment as a result of feedback, as well as satisfaction with it, has led to a conceptualisation of feedback that considers learners’ active role in making feedback processes effective. This has led to interest in ‘feedback literacy’ or what learners need for productive feedback use. Engagement in peer feedback practices is believed to enhance some aspects of feedback literacy, …
A dialogic technology-mediated model of feedback uptake and literacy
Despite the importance of feedback uptake in higher education, there is still much to be learned about supporting it. Recent perspectives hold that guiding learners through feedback uptake-oriented activities may also help them to develop feedback literacy. However, due to the acceleration of digitisation trends in higher education, there is an increasing need to explore feedback uptake and literacy development exploiting opportunities offered by…

A second look at the validity of widely used Rorschach indices
We comment on the meta-analysis by Mihura, Meyer, Dumitrascu, and Bombel (2013), which examined the validity of scores in Exner's Comprehensive System (CS) for the Rorschach. First, we agree there is compelling evidence that 4 categories of cognitive scores-the "Rorschach cognitive quartet"-are related to cognitive ability/impairment and thought disorder. We now feel comfortable endorsing the use of these scores in some applied and research setti…
Under Pressure
Prior research on the relation between children's suggestibility and verbal skills has yielded mixed results. This study examined children's suggestibility in a high social pressure context in conjunction with individual differences in verbal ability and social understanding. Sixty‐nine children were read a story by a classroom visitor. One week later children were asked suggestive questions about the visit and pressured to respond ‘yes’. One wee…
Across God's Frontiers
A quarter century ago, Anne M. Butler produced a pathbreaking book on prostitutes in the American West. She has written another landmark study, on Roman Catholic sisters in that same region between 1850 and 1920. This book is grand on many different levels as a well-written, deeply researched, original study of a topic that has been ignored by western, feminist, and American Catholic historians. According to Butler the purpose of this western wor…
Psychopathic personality traits and cognitive dissonance
Measuring social problem solving using the Spanish Version for Hispanics of the Social Problem Solving Inventory–Revised
This study investigated the internal consistency, factor structure, and concurrent validity of the Social Problem Solving Inventory-Spanish Version for Hispanics (SPSI-R-Hispanic), a translation of the Social Problem Solving Inventory-Revised (SPSI-R; D'Zurilla, Nezu & Maydeu-Olivares, 2002), in a North American sample of 325 Spanish speaking Hispanics. The scales of the SPSI-R-Hispanic demonstrated good internal consistency reliability. The hypo…
The Scientific Status of Projective Techniques
Although projective techniques continue to be widely used in clinical and forensic settings, their scientific status remains highly controversial. In this monograph, we review the current state of the literature concerning the psychometric properties (norms, reliability, validity, incremental validity, treatment utility) of three major projective instruments: Rorschach Inkblot Test, Thematic Apperception Test (TAT), and human figure drawings. We …
Setting the Value of K in Promax
A Monte Carlo study involving 10,080 factor analyses examined the optimal value of k for promax factor rotations. The value of k was varied from 2 to 10 using three versions of promax. Error and bias of the sample factor pattern were found to be lower when k [.lessequal] 5 than when k > 5 but changed only slightly as k varied between 2 and 5. The best value of k was 2, 3, or 4, depending on the version of promax. It is concluded that in factor an…

The Four-Year Junior College
1 NH E Stephens College experiment with the four-year junior A.. college is based upon the following assumptions. The first is that the essential elements of the work now done in the junior high school, the senior high school, and the junior college should be completed by the end of the twelfth grade. Should a longer period for general education be required, the remaining two years should cover upper-division courses of the liberal-arts college a…
